Chapter 764: Long Haochen’s Trump Card, Cai’er! (III)
However, not everyone was weakened in this realm. Out of the Bright Glimmer of Hope, one person was extremely accustomed to fighting in such an environment. Her strength would even be magnified tremendously, and she was Cai’er.
Cai’er’s power of purification was the ultimate weapon against undead creatures. And, she only needed to purify a single powerful undead creature and all of its soulfire would turn into her own power. In the past, Elux had transferred his own power to Cai’er like this, allowing Cai’er and Long Haochen to overcome the bottleneck of the ninth step together and rapidly gain their own domain. As a matter of fact, the process of purification assisted her Sickle of the God of Death in evolving.
Before the Bright Glimmer of Hope had arrived here, Long Haochen had already set their objectives and their plan for battle. The plan was very simple, which was to drag out the battle, because their objective was only to block the enemy and made enough time for Haoyue to evolve. It was not to throw their lives on the line against these undead.
As a result, although they had clashed with great intensity right from the start, the Bright Glimmer of Hope still held back slightly. It was mainly Cai’er and Long Haochen who held back.
If they exposed Cai’er’s purifying ability too soon, it would definitely garner much attention from the undead kings and the undead army would arrive sooner. These undead kings obviously were powerful in certain aspects to be able to reign over this realm. If the Bright Glimmer of Hope could make them erupt with their full strength later, there would be a higher chance of success for Haoyue’s evolution.
Now that the undead kings had finally unleashed their full force and Chen Ying’er had been defeated, Cai’er erupted with her full power.
Combining the Tower of Eternity with the Domain of Purification and the seven arts of the God of Death, she managed to purify the Shadow King before he could even respond. Afterwards, she used the power from the Shadow King’s soulfire to release a Flourishing Lotus Flower, immediately turning around the entire situation. Not only did she plug the breach, she had reduced the ten undead kings to nine and almost annihilated the bone dragon army.
Cai’er had stunned all the undead kings as soon as she had demonstrated her might. None of them wanted to be the next target to be purified. It was also at this moment that the undead armoy underneath launched their attack towards Haoyue’s hill.
Six balls of light representing six elements, water, fire, earth, wind, light and darkness, erupted from different directions.
Out of the twelve holy guards, six were skilled in close combat and six were skilled in magic. Their abilities were highly balanced. Their souls of powerhouses granted them great battle prowess. In terms of battle experience and actual skill in battle, the Bright Glimmer of Hope was unable to match up to them at all, so they did not need Cai’er’s orders at all. When the undead army had begun their attack, they were already prepared for battle.
Six spells, six forbidden spells, hurled over from six different places at the same time. Large swathes of undead were felled like wheat.
The weaker undead directly died, while the stronger undead could no longer afford to attack anymore, devoting themselves to defence in a hurry.
However, large quantities of darkness magic, curses and death magic began to hurl towards the hill. The undead army was just too large. It was possible to say that all the strong undead in the realm had gathered there. The forbidden spells of the holy guards could only disrupt their attacks, unable to stop it completely. In particular, the stronger undead that charged at the very front were highly immune to magic.
Cai’er snorted coldly and raised her left hand, releasing the Tower of Eternity once more. She drifted down at the same time.
The Tower of Eternity immediately expanded, enveloping the entire hill. Under the attack of all the magic from the undead, the Tower of Eternity released rings of multicolored light, like it was being buffeted by a storm.
Cai’er landed on the Tower of Eternity and stood on its very top on her toes. She raised the Sickle of the God of Death high up in the air and dense power of purification poured into the Tower of Eternity.
A strange hum rang out. The hum was not loud, such that many members of the Bright Glimmer of Hope even failed to hear it. However, it shocked the undead creatures like a huge hammer had struck their chests.
Layers of white light expanded from the Tower of Eternity. Currently, it was like a domain amplifier to Cai’er. The Tower of Eternity itself had a power special characteristic of being able to suppress souls. Coupled with the power of purification, the two complemented each other and immediately allowed the white light to expand.
All of the undead magic mingled with the power of purification. The disorderly magic was unable to break through the Tower of Eternity’s defences any time soon, but the Domain of Purification Cai’er had unleashed through the Tower of Eternity was like hymn of death to the undead.
All of the undead that had been enveloped by the Domain of Purification, whether weak or strength, immediately froze up. Afterwards, their soulfire began to experience the pain of purification in the domain.
The weaker undead could not even put up the slightest resistance. The purification was completely instantly. Some of the stronger undead charged outwards without any regard of anything else anymore in an attempt to escape from the Domain of Purification.
There were just too many undead creatures. Apart from those that could fly, how was it possible for the undead on the ground to escape?
As a result, the sight that shocked all the undead kings appeared. Their powerful undead army had collapsed from inside out, felled like wheat on a fine autumn day. Nothing happened to their bodies, but their souls were purified.
After their souls had been purified, the soulforce returned to the Tower of Eternity, before being passed onto Cai’er.
There were just too many undead creatures, such that the power released after purification was far too tremendous. Cai’er could only absorb a small portion of it, while the rest was released through the Tower of Eternity by expanding the range of the domain.
The undead creatures finally experienced fear. They could fight any enemy fearlessly to the death, but faced with a battle where they would die without being able to do anything, which one of them could still maintain their desire to fight?
Let alone ordinary undead creatures, even the undead kings themselves wer affected by the Domain of Purification. All of them pulled far away in a hurry.
The undead army began to collapse and large swathes of it descended into chaos. Witnessing the fates of their clansmen, the undead behind all fled. Who knew how many weaker undead creatures were trampled by stronger undead creatures. However, the Domain of Purification continued to spread outwards at a steady pace.
Currently, the most terrifying aspect of the Domain of Purification was the fact that its expansion was never ending. There were just too many undead creatures there, so the power they gave off once purified was tremendous. Although Cai’er could not control this power completely through the Tower of Eternity, she could do something as simple as expand the domain.
The power of purification became stronger and stronger and it was no longer just the undead that was being purified. Wherever the white light passed by, even the black rocks on the ground and the flames from the thick lava began to be purified. It was actually reverted to brown soil and the ground levelled out.
Currently, Cai’er seemed even more like the ruler of the world than the Knight of Judgement of the Dead. As the Domain of Purification rapidly strengthened, it had already enveloped an area almost ten thousand meters wide. A streak of white light would appear from the heads of the undead once they had remained in the domain for a while, which would then become a part of the domain. The rate of this happening only differed by the amount of time a region had been enveloped by the domain.
With the support of the Domain of Purification, everyone from the Bright Glimmer of Hope fought back as hard as they could. All the undead kings were affected by the Domain of Purification and their strength decreased drastically. They needed to protect their soulfire from coming into contact with the power of the domain, so they could only retreat, fleeing to places even further away. The powerhouses of the Bright Glimmer of Hope pursued them and left behind wounds on some of the undead kings.
Boom! The undead king was sent flying once again by Long Haochen after using his full strength in an attack. As he watched the surroudings become the hazy white Domain of Purification, he could not help but roar out, “No! Nooooo!”
The undead army had been completely repelled by the Domain of Purification. Moreover, the terrifying domain could not even be sealed up by his technique. After growing in strength, Cai’er’s domain had become far too powerful.
The Knight of Judgement of the Dead raised his sword high up in the air and swung it in Cai’er’s direction. An icy-blue light shot towards her as he roared out.
However, before the light could make it a hundred meters away, it was blocked by a jade-green figure.
Nature’s Bloom.
It was the same technique, but it managed to block the Knight of Judgement of the Dead’s attack once more. Long Haochen was unable to do anything to the Knight of Judgement of the Dead due to the huge disparity in their cultivation, but the Knight of Judgement of the Dead was unable to break free from him either.
The Armour of Eternity had granted Long Haochen speed that was just as great as the Knight of Judgement of the Dead. Although Long Haochen had only used one of the three sword techniques in his possession, he had managed to repel the Knight of Judgement of the Dead’s full strength attacks again and again.
Despair began to overwhelm the Knight of Judgement of the Dead’s soul. The Domain of Purification had even began to burn his spiritual energy. Although the domain would not be able to do anything to him any time soon, it would prevent him from absorbing any powers of darkness to recover at the very least. It also cut off his connection with his clansmen.
They was done for. They was completely done for. Even if there wasn’t Austin Griffin, even if it was just these humans, the undead kings still could not put up any resistance. Was the Domain of Purification really just going to expand endlessly like this? If that really was the case, would this realm be purified? If that was going to happen, being purified would only be an issue of time even for him.
