Chapter 758: The Bright Glimmer of Hope vs the Undead Kings (III)
It was possible to witness just how much stronger the divine thrones had made the knights from Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang's battles. Whether it was the Zombie King or Hellfire King, they both possessed a cultivation of over three hundred thousand spiritual energy and were skilled in close combat, but they were unable to overcome the two holy knights.
A stalemate was barely maintained. However, once a gap appeared in one side of the battlefield gave way, it was very likely for that side to suffer a crushing defeat, which was the exact case with the Bright Glimmer of Hope. After all, they were fighting on foreign territory. In the distance, a large amount of undead creatures gazed over, ready to intervene at any time.
After the series of attacks from the Knight of Judgement of the Dead and the Bone Dragon King turned out to be ineffective, they began to hold back with their attacks. Looking at Long Haochen who was clad in translucent, white armor, he could not help but feel powerless.
As the strongest king of this realm, he had already been in control of everything for several thousand years. The powerhouse of another realm right before him had a weaker cultivation than himself, but his light element spiritual energy was terrifyingly pure. He also had a set of equipment from a supra divine tool, such that even he, a powerhouse of the seventh rank of the ninth step, was unable to see his limits.
Long Haochen had always been quietly understanding the various boosts the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had granted him. At the same time, his senses covered the entire battlefield, allowing him to clearly understand everything happening.
Equipped with the Armour of Eternity, the Knight of Judgment of the Dead and the Bone Dragon King were unable to pressure him anymore. However, it was difficult for Long Haochen to defeat them as well. Combined, the two kings had close to a million spiritual energy and their physical strength was great as well. Moreover, it was unlikely that they had used their full strength either. Long Haochen's objective was only to allow Haoyue evolve successfully and not engage in a desperate battle against the undead kings. As a result, conserving his strength and erupting it at the most crucial moment would be the most correct choice to make.
He also still had a few trump cards up his leave and now was not the time to use them. After reaching the ninth step, his companions needed to go through trials to strengthen themselves. The current battle had a much better effect than the Temples' Great Gathering. At the same time, it would allow them to increase their compatibility with their new equipment. This was why Long Haochen was in no hurry to use his full strength. With the Domain of Instant Flash and Soul Sharing Chains, he did not worry that their lives would really be in danger.
Haoyue lay on the hill quietly. Now, all of its vitality seemed to have vanished, while the purplish golden scales had lost their dazzling lustre as well. It just lay there quietly.
Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi were the closest to Haoyue. They constantly observed Haoyue evolution. Even though they had yet to reach the ninth step, they were still the few powerhouses of the Knight Temple's younger generation. When they saw Haoyue, they experienced indescribably dread.
The seemingly-peaceful Haoyue also seemed like a dark hole that was gradually forming. Yang Wenzhao had once tried to inspect Haoyue's condition using his senses, but as soon as he tried, he felt that his senses and his soul seemed to be sucked away. He withdrew his senses in a hurry out of fright, no longer willing to inspect Haoyue.
Haoyue's silence increased the burden on Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi. No one knew how long this battle would last for. Before Haoyue had evolved successfully, this battle had to continue. At the same time, both of them felt deeply ashamed as they wanted to face off against the undead kings in the air so much as well! However, they had nowhere enough strength to do that.
The soulfire in the Knight of Judgement of the Dead leapt about, shining with coldness. After holding back on their attacks, his aura began to rise slowly. Long Haochen could sense that the next time he would unleash his full strength, it would definitely be even more ferocious than before.
The Knight of Judgement of the Dead was waiting for when a gap would appear in the Bright Glimmer of Hope. As long as one side of the battlefield gave way, the scales of battle would completely tip to their side and they would gain a complete advantage. Although Long Haochen was using the supra divine tool to block him, the Knight of Judgement of the Dead was very confident in his own strength. When the crucial moment came, even if he could not defeat Long Haochen, he could still keep him busy. Out of all the powerhouses from the other realm, the only person that truly threatened him was Long Haochen.
Just as the Knight of Judgement of the Dead had expected, a gap appeared.
The first one to suffer issues was Wang Yuanyuan.
The Skeleton King's attacks were extremely vicious, such that its huge body did not inhibit its movements at all. The black bone blade constantly swung down as black streaks, dealing heavy attacks toward Wang Yuanyuan.
Wang Yuanyuan was skilled in attack, not defence. As a result, when she unleashed the Blood Domain, she could only fight back against the Skeleton King's attacks and not defend.
Crack! The black bone blade struck down like a bolt of black lightning, falling on Wang Yuanyuan heavily. Wang Yuanyuan was unwilling to use the fragile Bloodstorm to block it, so she placed the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield across her body. The black bone blade immediately collided with it.
The seven spatial crystals had already unleashed their full strength. When they collided with the enemy's attacks, they would explode with unstable space to block the attacks.
However, it was different this time. Clearly, the Skeleton King had planned something with this strike. When the black bone blade bounced off the shield, it suddenly turned into a blur and flashed three times at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye. It struck the shield three more times viciously.
Wang Yuanyuan grunted. She could no longer withstand the attack of terrifying power and she was knocked out of the sky, falling down to the ground.
The Skeleton King was unforgiving. With a flash, it caught up to Wang Yuanyuan as she fell down. A layer of dense darkness rose up from his feet, all gathering on the bone blade in the end. In that moment, his inky black bones seemed to grow lighter. Only the bone blade shone with an abyssal colour.
Wang Yuanyuan's left arm was in agony as her body was shaken up. The Skeleton King had been waiting for this opportunity for a very long time now. As it charged up the bone blade, it completely unleashed its domain as well, locking down on Wang Yuanyuan despite the increased consumption of spiritual energy, delaying when her Spiritual Stove of Spatial Gate would open. As a result, Wang Yuanyuan had no other option apart from taking it on forcefully.
Wang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth. She was unwilling to just go down like this. She knew that she could not block the attack no matter what. Although Long Haochen would definitely save her, the gap in their defences would appear here. How would she just be willing to accept this?
The pitch-black bone blade swept through the air silently like a ghost. It was also at this moment, that a golden figure suddenly appeared before Wang Yuanyuan without any prior signs. The dense aura of light immediately erupted and turned into twelve bolts of golden lightning, striking on the black bone blade.
Rumble! A legendary tier golden shield in the golden figure's hand blocked the bone blade after striking it with twelve bolts of golden lightning. Golden light flickered from his body. The bone blade had been redirected, but the golden figure's shield turned to dust as well. A piece of legendary tier equipment was destroyed just like that.
The golden figure was a clone from Zhang Fangfang's Spiritual Stove of Second Life!
Zhang Fangfang had always been paying attention to Wang Yuanyuan's situation. Under the assistance of his divine throne, his defence against his enemy was rock solid. He could tell a long time ago that Wang Yuanyuan was in danger. In the critical moment, he took action without hesitation, releasing his clone to rush over with his old shield. He had charged up the twelve bolts of Light of Judgement for quite some time as well, so he saved Wang Yuanyuan just in time.
“Yuanyuan, prepare yourself,” Zhang Fangfang's voice rang out in her head. The clone flashed with golden light and charged towards the Skeleton King valiantly. It used its full strength to push it back.
With the increase in his cultivation, Zhang Fangfang's spiritual stove had evolved accordingly. His Spiritual Stove of Second Life had already evolved to the limit. Now, his clone possessed ninety-percent of his personal cultivation and could last for four hours. At the same time, it would use his other equipment. However, it was unable to inherit the abilities of the equipment.
However, the clone was a clone after all. Zhang Fangfang needed to divert his attention to control it, so he seemed to have a little too much on his table when he had to block the Hellfire King's attacks as well. However, he focused on defence and only sought to prevent any issues. He was able to plug the hole that Wang Yuanyuan had created.
Wang Yuangyuan and Zhang Fangfang had spent a lot of time together, so she immediately understood what he meant. She did not attack with the clone and instead focused on recovering spiritual energy. At the same time, she raised the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield high above her head.
Silver light began to appear below Wang Yuanyuan and slowly make its way up. She became covered in silver-white flames completely. The strange part was that her pupils were actually blood-red and flickered with red light, like two rubies. Covered by the silver-white light, she seemed even more vicious.
Wang Yuanyuan had the nickname of the Bloodthirsty Wargoddess. It was clearly a nickname she had earned. The suffering she experienced under the Skeleton King's attacks had completely stimulated her fight intent that refused to concede defeat.
The silver-white spatial spiritual energy became richer and ricker. Wang Yuanyuan suddenly produced a howl at the sky and the blood-red light in her eyes shot out, soaring into the sky as two strands of red light.
In the air, a silver gate of light opened up under the illumination of the red light. Afterwards, Wang Yuanyuan exploded with silver light.
The intense pulsing of space distorted everything in Wang Yuanyuan's surroundings. Only the two streaks of red light began to expand after coming in contact with the silver spatial gate. It fell down as a red screen of light.
Wang Yuanyuan suddenly stamped the ground with her right foot and the howl became even more intense. She raised the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield high into the air and a layer of densely-packed, red lines covered the shield like blood vessels.
