Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Almost an hour had passed before the gray light that covered the Sovereign Kings faded away. The Knight of Judgment faced Long Haochen again before the previous strength had completely disappeared.
“Respectful human king. You have demonstrated your ability and sincerity with the deed of blood. Since you are in a position to make promises for Austin and Griffin, we have decided to take your word for it. And I hope you keep your promise to restrain Austin and Griffin.” The Knight of Judgment changed the way he called Long Haochen which showed his compromise and recognition for Long Haochen’s strength.
Long Haochen nodded without expression and said, “I won’t repeat what I said again.”
Although the Knight of Judgment did get the answer he wanted from Long Haochen, he did not ask Long Haochen any further. He looked at Hao Yue in the distance with fear as he led the group of the Sovereign Kings and their army of undead creatures to recede slowly.
Looking at the Sovereign Kings gradually disappearing, Long Haochen also sighed. Layers of shimmering white light diffused from his limbs, and eventually faded into a shimmering white light that surged toward the huge gems on his breastplate. When all the light converged, the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation disappeared, along with the gems on his breastplate.
Long Haochen’s body slightly shook, it was unusually pale, and he needed Han Yu’s support to stand up straight.
His weakness was not due to the excessive use of his spiritual energy, but from his own soul. The Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation gave him a sense of infinite power. But the mental energy required to control this terrifying force was also terrifying. Despite his full integration with the throne, Long Haochen nearly exhausted his spirit in the previous battle. It was normal that his soul became weak. That was one of the main reasons he didn’t want to continue the fight. If he continued to fight, he would have exhausted his soul energy too much.
After a short breath, Long Haochen had stabilized his state and said to his comrades, “Han yu, Brother Zhang, please keep a look around. The others fanned outside the domain of purification. We will wait for Hao Yue to evolve.”
“Roger.” They moved quickly to occupy a good spot. With Caier’s domain of purification, it was impossible for any undead creatures to stealth inside the domain undetected.
Long Haochen stayed by Caier’s side, he closed his eyes to keep his spirits up. Then he was surprised to find that the Holy Unicorn necklace on his chest began to emit gentle spiritual waves that connected with his spirit.
The strength of the Holy Unicorn could not directly help him recover his spirit, but it could relieve his mental fatigue. In this way, the spirit of Long Haochen would recover faster, just like in his normal practice.
As Caier continuously absorbed the power of purification, it became thinner and thinner while her aura became stronger and stronger. The Tower of Eternity beneath her became as white as the power of purification.
The army of undead creatures had indeed retreated with no sign of returning. Long Haochen could guess the Knight of Judgment and other Sovereign Kings’ thoughts.
Their thoughts were simple, if they were to keep fighting, then they would have no chance of winning. Nor could they stop Austin and Griffin’s awakening. The most they could do was to give Long Haoche’s teammates some loss so that death will be avenged. Would Austin and Griffin spare them once they wake up?
Long Haochen proved their close relationship with his blood deed so the Knight of Judgment took the bet to trust Long Haochen that he would keep his promise and no longer stand against them. By weighing the pros and cons, the Sovereign Kings had no other choice.
It was impossible to tell time in this world of black and red. Caier’s meditation was ascending, Hao Yue’s awakening continued, and the others remained vigilant and waited. In the other world, too, a great battle unfolded.
...
Bang—
The nine-color magic light burst. A dazzling figure fell far away and hit nearly a thousand square meters of the woods.
This dazzling figure was a special creature. A beautiful one with its body green with a little blue. Its head was similar to the dragon clan, about 15 meters in height and a long tail with a circle of dark purple lines.
The most beautiful part was its wings. The color of the upper part of the wings was aquamarine, same as the body. It gradually turned pink as it extended down and finally became a ruby color. The wings were particularly wide extending from the back and also gradually turning into purple color.
The edge of the wings had a slender angle and the front of the wings were the longest angle. The whole wings were covered with golden lines, including the shape of the moon.
Its eyes were also turquoise, but at that moment, they were full of anger, and its powerful natural aura was fading. There was also a blackened scar on the lower right abdomen.
A cold, clear voice echoed in the air. “It’s no use. You can’t stop me. Your practice is not weak. But there’s still a gap between us. Besides, you’re just an elf dragon.”
In the distance, a figure quietly suspended in the air. A cascade of black hair floated behind like a black wheel. Pale skin and blue eyes that reflected the stars of the universe. There was even a faint smile. Was that the God of Devils, Fengxiu?
This was the human world, very close to the Zhennanguan, where the Priest Temple was located. However, the Temple did not receive any news. Not just human, even if it was high-ranked devils, even that Moon Devil God or the Star Devil God wouldn’t know if the God of Devils came here who should have stayed in the Devil’s Imperial Palace, being isolated from the outside world.
The elf dragon slowly climbed up, spreading its wings to fly into the air again. Its body was a little unstable. It looked at Fengxiu and said, “God of Devils, you have to pass over my body first if you want to enter the Dream Shrine. Maybe you can beat me. But in the absence of the Devil Pillar, it’s possible that you will also die along with me.”
The God of Devils shook his head gently and said, “No, you are wrong. How can I come without absolute certainty? Although in order to cover up the story and also in order not to let those disgusting humans discover me, I did not bring the Devil Pillar along. But I still have the power to kill you.”
As he spoke, his right hand slowly pointed out in front of him, and then a strange streak of black appeared.
It looked very faint, but the moment it appeared, all the light around it seemed to be absorbed to it, and the light turned to darkness.
The elf dragon roared as nine-colors light burst out from its body. The strong spirit power waves diffused, and the spiritual force was not any weaker than that of the God of Devils.
However, the next moment, all the light suddenly disappeared. From the distance, the elf dragon looked like a lantern, but now it suddenly extinguished.
The light gradually restored, the God of Devils stood still while the elf dragon was still suspended in the air. At this time, Fengxiu’s face became even paler and his body that suspended in the air became a bit shaky. Had the God of Devils fallen into weakness?
On the other side, there was a small black spot on the elf dragon’s chest. This black spot was spreading out like a plague. Although the rate of spreading was not fast, the elf dragon’s huge vitality was slowly fading.
Fengxiu coughed twice. He couldn’t continue to hover in the air and fell on the ground. But there was still a faint smile on his handsome face.
“Your total spiritual strength is somewhere between ninety-seven and ninety-eight hundred and eighty thousand. But my spiritual power had successfully reached over a million. I do not belong to this world. One cannot become God just by a spiritual breakthrough. However, I have to suffer from my spiritual power every day. This is divine punishment. So, I need just one god position to settle this problem once and for all. With the gods in the body, I can cross through space, through the world, and not be restricted by the rules of the world. No longer bothered by life length. You should feel honored to die under my attack of the ‘faded one’. You are the first. And, of course, probably the last. I am afraid there is no other in this holy land worthy of my offer.”
The elf dragon glazed over at Fengxiu as the black spot had spread almost all over its body. The core of that black spot began to flutter a little light and its body was collapsing!
“The faded one, you have already achieved this step. You’ve been able to hold out in the Sealed Divine Throne. You should be the strongest of all. I’m sorry, your highness Goddess of Nature. I did my best. I can no longer protect your Dream Shrine.”
As it spoke, the speed of black spot spreading increased rapidly, and the elf dragon slowly dissipated into innumerable points of light in the air. As it disappeared, everything around it seemed to dim down. The aura of nature was also fading rapidly.
Fengxiu sat cross-legged on the ground, as if there was no perception of what had just happened. His face was white, but he looked very calm. Circles of black light began to appear around his body. In a few moments, the invisible pressure had spread from him again. And all the surrounding plants began to wither rapidly, which was a sign of vitality being deprived.
