Chapter 767: The Faded One (I)
When the Knight of Judgment began to despair in the domain of purification, Long Haochen did not attack him, but turned back and landed beside Caier.
The green balls of light that surrounded him fell quietly behind Caier, and pure vitality slowly poured into Caier’s body. At the same time, the white ball of light around him was also slowly suspended in his chest, and the thick white light was injected into the precious stone, which was a huge force of chaos. Just for a moment, a delicate sense of fragmentation appeared around the space of Long Haochen’s body. And then there was a “Keng” sound behind his purple symbol broke into pieces and scattered in the air.
In battle, Long Haochen couldn’t unlock the Knight of Judgment’s seal but in the non-combat state, it was too difficult to limit Long Haochen when he was wearing the Armor of Eternity. And now the Knight of Judgment used his energy the most against the domain of purification. How could he also fight Long Haochen?
The expansion of the domain of purification suddenly stopped. The white glow no longer released into the distance, but rose slowly into the air. Even though the power of purification was killing the undead creatures, the air became cleaner than ever, clearing away the world’s filth in a big way, wherever the power of purification expanded to.
Against the undead creatures, they didn’t have too much psychological burden, let alone these undead creatures that tried to attack Hao Yue at all costs. But Caier’s attacks were stopped by him, not for the undead creatures, but for Caier herself.
Through the link of the soul chain, Long Haochen felt that Caier was in an unstable state, so he came to her side as soon as possible.
When he came into contact with Caier’s body, he was surprised to find that Caier was on the verge of losing control and breaking down. He hastened to infuse her body with the light of life attached to the Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to maintain the state of her body. At the same time, he quickly urged himself to recover. After the seal was lifted, he integrated the domain of eternity into Caier’s domain of purification, to help her stabilize the domain and prevent it from further expansion and it scattered since more purifying power in the air.
Actually, Caier was not the one to blame because it was the first time she had experienced such a situation. Magnified through the Tower of Eternity, the purgatory was so deadly to the undead creatures.
In a short period, the purifying power from the higher-ranked undead creatures became terrifying. Caier’s body filled up almost instantly. As the inheritor of Death, it would have been good for her to have a great amount of purifying power which would prompt her to ascend rapidly and spiritual openings would continue to open one by one. But her body’s ability to bear all these powers also had a limit! The problem began when the outside world was flooding in with so much cleansing power that the outside world was beyond her control.
Since everything happened so fast, when Caier realized something was wrong, the power of purification already began to get out of control. She couldn’t even ask for help. If not because of the Tower of Eternity, Caier might have been directly hit by the power of purification that rushed back. Fortunately, Long Haochen found out about the problem in time.
The level of the domain of Eternity was the highest in this world and in the holy land. Caier did not have half of the exclusion than that of Long Haochen. Therefore, when the two domains integrated, the power of Long Haochen’s Sealed Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation quickly took control of the situation. The first thing to do was to stop the expansion of the domain of purification and to stop those purifying forces from expanding outwards to cleanse the undead creatures. Only by this way would no more purifying power be added.
With Long Haochen’s help, Caier quickly calmed down. Light circulated inside her beautiful eyes as she saw Long Haochen again. Long Haochen slightly nodded to her reproachfully which indicated that she should continue to maintain this state.
Danger was also an opportunity, and such a situation was absolutely unattainable. One more of that vast power of purification would give Caier a boost. Ascension was much, much faster than self-cultivation.
Long Haochen knew Caier was in a crisis, but the Sovereign Kings did not know! The Knight of Judgment saw the domain of purification stopped expanding under the control of Long Haochen. The fire of soul in his eyes appeared some subtle changes. At this time, the voice of Long Haochen echoed in the vast world of the undead.
“I have no intention of fighting you. We don’t want to kill them all, but if you continue to attack, don’t blame our ruthless hands. If you wish we will wipe all of you out completely.” Long Haochen’s voice was not loud and did not have any emotions, but it was so clear to all the Sovereign Kings.
At this time, the domain of purification terrified them, and the pure white light emitted a layer of supreme pale gold. The higher-ranked undead creatures, which had been covered by the domain of purification, almost immediately extinguished the fire of their souls after the appearance of this pale gold. The areas of convergence were far more powerful than before.
Even the nine remaining Sovereign Kings recoiled at the Light of Eternity and dared not step forward, let alone ordinary undead creatures.
There was no longer a gap, only pure restraint.
The Witch King said with a shrill voice, “What if Austin and Griffin wake up and are willing to spare all of us?”
Long Haochen said coldly, “Though I don’t know what Hao Yue did to you in his previous life. All I know is that it has been targeted by you ever since it was born. If it was not lucky enough, it would have died at your hands.”
The Witch King’s voice grew a little louder. “That’s because you don’t know what it had been doing, and you don’t know how horrible it’s been when it’s awakened.”
Long Haochen smiled coldly and said, “I only know that it is my partner, my friend. As you may see, if you continue to attack us, you have no chance of winning but only to be killed by us. It would be better for Hao Yue to deal with you when it awakens than to die right now. You can judge for yourselves which is better.”
The Knight of Judgment said with a strange husky voice, “Austin and Griffin are your friends? Aren’t you afraid of its awakening? You’re not weak, but you’re nothing compared to Austin and Griffin when they wake up.”
Long Haochen replied coldly, “That’s my problem. But I can tell you that the reason why Hao Yue returned to this world is because it wants to evolve. I will carry it with me for many more days to come and let it accompany me in my world. If, as you say, this is its last evolution, then it may never return to this world again.”
The Knight of Judgment said in disbelief, “You mean it won’t ever come back again?”
Long Haochen replied, “I can’t promise it won’t ever come back again. But I can tell you that if you leave here now and you are no longer against Hao Yue, it also won’t be against you in the future.”
Caier had gradually entered a state of enlightenment, and with her previous loss of control, she had lost the ability to fight in addition to maintain her domain. Although Long Haochen still had the hidden card, he was not willing to fight with these undead creatures. He could not bear the loss of even one member of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group.
“How is that possible? Who are you to make any promises for Austin and Griffin?” said the Witch King suspiciously.
The mask on Long Haochen’s face rose slowly, and the nine jewels in his crown shone magnificently. He looked just like a Sovereign King.
“Here’s my promise.” He pointed to his forehead. Then, under the control of his mind, nine lines of purple and gold light gradually emerged. A faint purple, also appeared in the sky, connecting to him and Hao Yue.
“What’s this?” The Knight of Judgment was shocked, and the other Sovereign Kings also became silent. Even the Bone Dragon King quickly removed his armor and moved to the Knight of Judgment’s side. In the fire of their souls, the same emotions rose.
“Blood… Blood pact? How is that possible? Austin and Griffin have a blood bond with a human?” The Witch King became a little stuttering from shock.
All the other Sovereign Kings were as shocked as the Witch King. For a moment, the black and red world became silent.
Long Haochen asked with a deep voice, “Am I qualified now?”
The Knight of Judgment did not answer Long Haochen directly. He quickly gathered with other Sovereign Kings to discuss something as a vast gray seemed to envelop their bodies.
Long Haochen was not in a hurry, for him, to delay time was the best choice, whether it be Hao Yue’s evolution or Caier’s recovering needed time.
The other members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group also sensed the situation’s turnaround. All, except for Yang Wenzhao, Duan Yi and the twelve Sacred Saints, gathered around Long Haochen. Si Maxian, under Han Yu’s Divine Light furnace, had recovered about seventy to eighty percent. Although Chen Ying’er and Wang Yuanyuan’s states were worse, they could still fight. Bathed in the light of Eternity, they were not constrained by this world and the previous consumption was slowly recovering.
