Chapter 756: The Bright Glimmer of Hope vs the Undead Kings (I)
The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation transformed into the Armor of Eternity and covered him completely. Long Haochen only felt that he had reached the level which the Slumbering Calamity, Elux, had described, being able to pluck the stars from the sky!
He placed the Sword of Eternity across his body and the surging sword intent seemed to become something tangible in the air.
Clang!
With that, the Sword of Eternity parried the Knight of Judgement of the Dead's huge, dark-purple sword.
The pitch-black mist turned into the most frightening devil which tried to swallow Long Haochen. The nine-colored light shone and collided with the mist, immediately reducing it to fragments.
With a jolt of his arm, Long Haochen forced back the Knight of Judgement of the Dead by a hundred meters with great might. At the same time, the darkness element in the air actually gathered towards Long Haochen rapidly. Passing through the nine-colored haze, it was actually purified where all of the darkness attribute was removed, before fusing into Long Haochen's body.
With eternity in his grasp, the world was his. Even Long Haochen himself had no idea just what level his powers had reached. He could only sense that his Light God Domain had fused perfectly with the Domain of Eternity, such that the power he could wield seemed limitless.
This was the first time he had used the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. Understanding rose up from his heart constantly as information from the divine throne constantly poured into his soul which was rapidly accepted and absorbed by him. As a result, he did not take the initiative to launch attacks at the Knight of Judgement of the Dead.
The Knight of Judgement of the Dead became rather frantic. The might of the supra divine tool was greater than he had imagined. Long Haochen's cultivation was clearly lower than his, but he did not gain the upper hand in the clash at all.
He and the Bone Dragon King roared out at the same time and charged towards Long Haochen once more. They launched a full-scale attack.
The Sword of Eternity danced about in Long Haochen's hands, like it was going for a leisurely stroll. It constantly nullified the attacks of the two undead kings, regardless of how they attacked. Long Haochen just hovered there without moving, allowing the nine-colored light to flood the surroundings. He blocked their attacks time and time again.
As Long Haochen stabilised the situation on his side, the other battles had unfolded completely as well.
Cai'er matched up against the illusionary, shadow-like and faceless Shadow King, because she could sense that the Shadow King's strength was extraordinary, even more terrifying than the Lich King.
Indeed, something unexpected happened as soon as she matched up against the Shadow King.
The Sickle of the God of Death shone brightly as Cai'er brushed past her opponent with lightning speed. However, to her surprise, her sickle had failed to land on anything. Instead, it felt like she had just cut through air. When she looked back, the Shadow King had already arrived within a hundred meters away from where Haoyue was evolving.
Oh no. Surprised, a powerful white light shot out of Cai'er's body and immediately crossed a thousand meters, forming a white screen before the Shadow King.
The Shadow King seemed unfazed, forcefully colliding with the light of purification. However, he did not succeed this time.
When his dark, shadowy body came in contact with the light of purification, he produced a sharp scream and rebounded away even faster than he had collided into it.
Cai'er snorted coldly and thought to herself, You can avoid my physical attacks, but is it possible for you to be immune to my light of immunity?
There was no one more effective against the undead creatures than Cai'er. The greatest ability of her inheritance of the God of Death was being able to purify the undead! Although the Shadow King's cultivation was extremely powerful, its soul had still been burnt by the light of purification out of carelessness.
At the same time, Cai'er raised her left hand and with a flash of golden light, a miniature, seven-floored, golden tower appeared in her hand.
The tower flickered with different colors, quickly flying towards Haoyue on the ground. The sickle in Cai'er's hand turned into countless flashes in the air. The Domain of Purification was unleashed completely, surging towards the Shadow King.
A total of twelve streaks of light shot out from the Tower of Eternity. When they struck the ground, they formed a perfect circle and protected Haoyue. Wasn't that the twelve holy guards that had tested the Bright Glimmer of Hope many times in the Tower of Eternity?
The Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux had not just given Cai'er the Tower of Eternity. He had left the twelve holy guards who had followed him through the battlefields to Cai'er as well. However, as the Tower of Eternity had dropped from the edge of supra divine tools to a divine tool, the strength of the holy guards weakened by a certain extent as well. They were all powerhouses of the ninth step, but only at the initial stage. They did not possess domains. However, despite that, they were still ninth step powerhouses who had several thousand years of experience in battle!
During the Temples' Great Gathering, if it were not for the prohibition of weapons, Cai'er would have been almost invincible with the Tower of Eternity. Even Long Haochen would not have been her opponent. Of course, now that he had obtained the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, no one in the squad could match his strength.
The twelve holy guards all possessed thousands of years of battle experience. With them beside Haoyue, even if these kings manage to get through the obstruction that the Bright Glimmer of Hope posed, they would not be able to harm Haoyue directly.
Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi remained as close to Haoyue as possible as they watched the battle in the sky. They both felt rather bedazzled. In particular, when the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation appeared, the shock they had experienced reached the limit. Only now did Yang Wenzhao stop comparing himself to Long Haochen, because he knew that even if he devoted his entire lifetime to cultivation, he would never be able to catch up to Long Haochen.
The Shadow King really was much stronger than Cai'er had expected him to be. After his soul was injured, he quickly stabilised his situation. Grey gas expanded from his body which did not disperse even upon coming into contact with the light of purification. Instead, the area it covered grew larger and larger, highlighting the battlefield between him and Cai'er.
A cold aura engulfed Cai'er. Cai'er wielded her sickle, but she dared not to act carelessly. The Domain of Purification expanded outwards, but it was unable to cover a particularly large area. She was only able to maintain it around ten meters away. With a buffer like that, she believed she could respond to attacks from the Shadow King from any direction.
Suddenly, a cold sensation appeared from behind. Cai'er basically turned around with any hesitation and swung her sickle that shone with a cold sheen. Seven arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood.
Ding! With that, the Shadow King retreated with a flash. The grey haze around him actually protected him from Cai'er's light of purification, but he did not remain in the Domain of Purification. He retreated after a single attack.
Cai'er squinted her eyes. She knew she was facing the most powerful opponent she had faced so far. Despite being an assassin, she was now the one under sneak attacks from the Shadow King. However, there was nothing she could do either. In terms of hiding ability, she was nowhere as great as her opponent.
Perhaps the Shadow King's domain had nothing to do with attacking, but it definitely played a great role in amplifying his resistances and hiding ability. Otherwise, he would not have been able to block the light of purification. However, Cai'er was not worried either. At the end of the day, the Shadow King was still an undead creature. There were no undead creatures that the light of purification could not overwhelm. Perhaps her opponent could be resistant to the light of purification for now, but it would all be useless as time went on. Otherwise, the Shadow King would have chosen to take her on in an open battle right from the start, given his strength. He would not be using hit and run tactics.
Did you want to waste away my spiritual energy? Cai'er's lips curled up into a sneer. She was nowhere as powerful as Long Haochen in terms of cultivation, but her Domain of Purification was no worse than his Light God Domain for recovery. In particular, in a place filled with undead creatures, the light of purification constantly purified the aura of death.
At this moment, a cold sensation suddenly appeared from the side and Cai'er swung her sickle once more.
There was another ding, except Cai'er shuddered violently this time and her expression changed.
The Shadow King's attacks were very powerful. Even with the evolved Sickle of the God of Death, Cai'er was shaken up very much. At the same time, she could only locate her opponent when he was at a close range, which put her in a highly passive position. The Shadow King did not have a body, seemingly moving around as a soul, so physical attacks were useless against him. If this continued, her situation would become more and more disadvantageous, because she could only rely on the seven arts of the God of Death to harm her opponent. The consumption that came with using the seven arts of the God of Death was obvious.
Just like how Long Haochen faced off against the Knight of Judgement of the Dead and the Bone Dragon King, Cai'er had also reached a stalemate. However, the difference was that Long Haochen kept his opponent suppressed, while Cai'er was the one who was suppressed here.
Cai'er fought the Shadow King, while Yating fought the Spectre King. The two kings shared a similarity in that neither of them had a physical body. As a result, they were the most difficult to handle aside from the Knight of Judgement of the Dead.
Now, there was not just a single King's Sword, but over a thousand. They swept through the air, constantly sealing off the Spectre King movement.
Yating's abilities of the light element had inherited Long Haochen's purity. Although the Spectre King was powerful, his attacks mainly targeted the soul. As a Fairy Queen of Light, Yating's soul was extremely sturdy, and she currently possessed the body of the Nightmoon Queen, unlike when she was still a light elemental fairy, where she was basically just a soul. After fusing with the two divine swords, she gained the ability to consolidate her soul, so she was perfectly resistant to the Spectre King's attacks.
Just like that, Yating completely suppressed her opponent. The Spectre King had attempted to split up his body to get to her, but faced with all the swords, he could not even take a step towards Yating. He could only dodge constantly, which forced him into quite a sorry state.
