Chapter 765: Singular Annihilation (I)
As the Knight of Judgement of the Dead began to despair, Long Haochen did not attack him. Instead, he returned with a flash, landing beside Cai’er.
The green ball of light that revolved around him exhibited its might once more. It landed on Cai’er’s back quietly and rich vitality slowly poured into Cai’er’s body. At the same time, the white ball of light landed before his chest slowly and dense, white light poured into the centre of the gemstone on his armor. This was a tremendous amount of power of chaos. In just a short while, the space around Long Haochen became riddled with cracks and soon afterwards, there was a clang and the dark purple symbol that hovered behind him shattered, dispersing in the air.
Long Haochen was unable to remove the Knight of Judgement of the Dead’s seal in battle, but now that he was not fighting, it was just far too difficult to keep the Armour of Eternity sealed. Not to mention, most of the Knight of Judgement of the Dead’s efforts were focused on fending off the Domain of Purification. How could he stop Long Haochen?
The Domain of Purification suddenly stopped expanding and the white light stopped spreading outwards. Instead, it rose up slowly in the air. Although the purifying power brought agony upon the undead, wherever it passed by, the air would become unbelievably pure. It cleansed the filth of this world on a large scale.
Long Haochen and the others were not too pressured in fending off the undead, not to mention the fact that it was the undead who tried everything to stop Haoyue. However, he was the one who had stopped Cai’er’s attack. He did not do it for the undead, but for Cai’er herself.
Through the connection of the Soul Sharing Chains, Long Haochen sensed the instability of Cai’er’s condition and rushed to her side immediately.
Touching her body, he discovered in surprise that Cai’er was close to losing control and collapsing. He immediately used the light of life from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to pour large amounts of vitality into her body, to stabilise her condition and speed up her cultivation. The unsealed Light of Eternity Domain came into contact with Cai’er’s Domain of Purification and assisted her in stabilising the domain, preventing it from expanding any further and dispersing more of the purification power.
It was not actually Cai’er’s fault for losing control of her powers. This was the first time she had ever encountered something like this. She had never thought that the Domain of Purification would be so terrifyingly effective against the undead after the Tower of Eternity had expanded.
The power given off from purifying so many powerful undead in a short amount of time was just too terrifying. Cai’er’s body had basically been filled instantly. As the inheritor of the God of Death’s legacy, all this purifying power should have been good news for able, able to propel her cultivation forwards and open up her spiritual cavities one by one. However, there was still a limit to the energy her body could withstand! Once too much purifying power flowed into her and the purifying power outside had exceeded her limit of control, problems would begin to occur.
As everything had happened too quickly, the purifying power had already begun to lose control when Cai’er realised the problem. She could not even request for help. If it were not for the Tower of Eternity, she probably would have been heavily injured from the returning purifying power alone. Fortunately, Long Haochen had discovered her situation in time.
Whether it was in this realm or on the Shengmo Dalu, the Light of Eternity Domain had reached the very apex of domains. Cai’er did not reject Long Haochen either, so the two domains melded together and Long Haochen used his increased strength from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to quickly contain the situation. He first stopped the Domain of Purification from expanding, so it would stop purifying undead. Only then could he prevent the creation of even more power of purification.
Under Long Haochen’s assistance, Cai’er’s condition established quickly. Emotions filled her eyes as she looked at Long Haochen. Long Haochen nodded at her with some reproach, indicating her to maintain her current condition.
With danger came blessings. Something like this would only happen out of pure chance. With such tremendous power of purification, Cai’er’s cultivation would grow with every bit of it she absorbed. It was much, much faster than just cultivating.
Long Haochen understood Cai’er was in danger, but the undead kings did not! When the Knight of Judgement of the Dead saw the Domain of Purification stop under Long Haochen’s control, some minute changes immediately appeared in the leaping soulfire in his eyes. At this very moment, Long Haochen’s voice boomed through the was world of undead.
“I had no intentions to fight you, nor do I want to kill you all. However, if you keep attacking, you can’t blame us for being merciless and completely cleansing your realm.”
Long Haochen’s voice was not particularly resounding. It did not even carry much emotion. However, every single undead king heard it clearly.
They found the Domain of Purification even more terrifying now. The originally pure-white domain now possessed an additional layer of dignified gold. All the stronger undead in the domain had their soulfires extinguished quickly basically as soon as the golden colour had appeared. It was much more powerful than before.
Let alone ordinary undead creatures, even the nine remaining undead kings could only look at the light of eternal purification. They dared not to take a step forwards.
This was no longer due to a difference in cultivation. This was just completely dominating them due to their nature as undead.
The Lich King’s high-pitched voice rang out, “You say you’re not going to kill us all. Are you saying that Austin Griffin will spare all of us once it awakens?”
Long Haochen said coldly, “I don’t know what Haoyue had done to you all in his past life, I only know that you’ve always been targeting him since he was born. If it weren’t for a coincidence, he might have died to your hands a long time ago.”
The Lich King’s voice became even higher, “That’s because you don’t know what it did in the past. You don’t know just how terrifying it is once it fully awakens.”
Long Haochen smiled indifferently, “I only know it’s my companion, my friend. You should be able to tell that if you keep attacking us, there is no chance for you to achieve victory. You’ll only be killed by us. Even if Haoyue wants to deal with you after it awakens, it’s better than dying right now. You should be able to determine what is for the best.”
The Knight of Judgement’s voice was rather strange. It was slightly hoarse, yet also slightly deep, “Austin Griffin’s your companion? Aren’t you afraid of suffering from the backlash once it awakens? You aren’t weak, but against Austin Griffin that’s truly awakened, it’s nothing.”
Long Haochen said coldly, “That’s my problem, not for you to worry about. However, I can tell you that Haoyue’s only returned to this realm because it wants to evolve. In the future, it’ll spend most of its time by my side, accompanying me in my realm. If it’s really like what you said that this is tis final evolution, then it might never have to return to this realm again.”
The Knight of Judgement of the Dead asked in some disbelief, “Are you saying that it won’t ever come back again?”
Long Haochen said, “I can’t guarantee you, but I can say that if you leave here right now and stop targeting Haoyue in the future, it won’t target you in the future either.”
Cai’er had gradually entered a state of comprehension. Coupled with losing control earlier, she had become incapacitated from battle, apart from maintaining her domain. Even though Long Haochen still had cards up his sleeve, he really did not the battle to devolve into a life or death struggle. He could not afford a single death in the Bright Glimmer of Hope.
“How is that possible? Do you have the right to make promises for Austin Griffin?” The Lich King’s voice was filled with doubt.
The mask on Long Haochen’s face slowly rose up as the nine gems on his crown flashed with beautiful light. He seemed like a king who reigned over everything.
“Here is my right.” He pointed at his forehead. Afterwards, nine streaks of golden symbols slowly appeared under his control. An obscure purple also appeared in the air, connecting him with Hao Yue.
“What’s this?” The Knight of Judgement of the Dead leapt in fright, while the other undead kings immediately fell silent as well. Even the Bone Dragon King transformed from its armour form and appeared beside the Knight of Judgement of the Dead. The same emotion appeared in the soulfire in their eyes.
“A- a blood pact? How is that possible? Austin Griffin actually formed a blood pact with a human?” The Lich King even began to stutter from pure shock.
The other undead kings experienced the same amount of shock as her. In that moment, the world of black and red actually descended into silence.
Long Haochen asked sternly, “Do I possess the right now?”
The Knight of Judgement of the Dead did not reply immediately. Instead, he gathered with the other undead kings quickly. They were enveloped by a grey haze. Clearly, they were discussing something.
Long Haochen did not worry at all. Buying time was his best option. Both Haoyue and Cai’er needed time to evolve and comprehend respectively.
The Bright Glimmer of Hope also saw the change in the situation. Aside from Yang Wenzhao, Duan Yi and the twelve holy guards, everyone gathered by Long Haochen’s side. Under the assistance of Han Yu’s Spiritual Stove of Light’s Blessing, he had recovered around seventy or eighty percent. Although Chen Ying’er and Wang Yuanyuan’s situation was slightly worse, they could still keep fighting. Dowsed by the light of eternity, they did not feel restrained by the realm anymore, allowing them to slowly recover the exhaustion that had accumulated earlier.
