Chapter 621: Earth Dragon Liberation (I)

Downcast chants echoed in the first floor of the Tower of Eternity. This incantation was not from anyone of Bright Glimmer of Hope, and came with surges of earth elemental fluctuations.

Not far from the group, four figures were seated in a circle. Three of them formed a triangle, with the last one sitting in the center and chanting.

Red, blue, green and yellow colored figures emitted different light, coming from the four holy guards that Long Haochen had obtained inside this Tower of Eternity.

The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth occupied three angles, and the soulfire in their eyes pulsed violently. The air surrounding the Ninth Holy Guard seated in the middle also pulsed violently, and his body started to look incorporeal.

The three Great Holy Guards were pouring their soul force into the Ninth Holy Guard, helping him complete his spell.The latter held in his hand a fist-sized white jewel, into which an incredible amount of earth essence was poured from his own body.

Long Haochen was waiting for him, and the same went for everyone present. This mission couldn’t take long, they had to go in and out from Modu Core City like a breeze for this to succeed.

To unleash a forbidden spell in Modu was no different than looking for death. Even an ordinary Moon Demon would be able to sense waves of spiritual energy of such degree, so the incantation had to be completed there. Also, the gem in the hands of the Ninth Holy Guard was not obtained from any Bright Glimmer of Hope member but from Yue Ye. This was a crucial part of their plan.

Zhang Fangfang said, “It’s about time. Get ready everyone, Haochen should pretty much be back if everything goes as planned.” With Cai’er in her amnesic state, Zhang Fangfang, being the oldest one here, temporarily commanded Bright Glimmer of Hope.

Sima Xian pulled onto the dark golden chains, pulling the Energetic Ball of Light close. Lifting it, he placed it above his arm and the others also took out their own weapon, calmly standing in wait.

As the chant of the Ninth Holy Guard became increasingly louder, one could clearly see that colorless crystal turn yellow. The powerful waves of spiritual energy distorted the air violently, as that substantial looking earth essence was poured out at a frightening speed.

The four holy guards’ joint strength was sufficient to use a forbidden-spell grade spell. As the Tower of Eternity had obtained so much soul force, they also gained a huge boost in strength.

Right at this time, Long Haochen reappeared in front of his comrades in a flash of golden light. He remained silent, and immediately looked at the four holy guards.

The Ninth Holy Guard was finally reaching the last juncture of his incantation. His high-pitched incantation could be heard reverberating through the whole Tower of Eternity.

Long Haochen had a very severe look. Saying he had no feelings of anxiousness was impossible. To brave rain and wind in Modu Capital and aim against the Star Demon God’s demon god pillar was their bold plan, and this was more than enough to astonish anyone. This was undoubtedly the hardest and most dangerous mission they had had up to now. By chance, the existences of the Tower of Eternity and Eternal Melody made the mission feasible, otherwise they would not even dare think of such a thing.

At last, the resounding chanting sounds came to a stop, and in the midst of an intense knocking of the air, the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth holy guards collapsed. Just a bit was left of the soulfires in their eyes, while the Ninth Holy Guard was bursting in yellow light and vigor while pouring the last bits of earth essence frantically into that crystal.

One could clearly see that around that crystal drifted some complex patterns. Just by looking, one could already feel how frantic all the energy stockpiled inside was.

The yellow light vanished suddenly, as all traces of magic disappeared at once, poured inside that crystal. The whole crystal turned into a solemn yellow color, and dispersed some faint traces of dark golden brilliance.

The Ninth Holy Guard handed his crystal to Long Haochen. Both his hands were really shaking, making the consumption extremely visible.

Long Haochen took the crystal and gave him a nod, after which the Ninth Holy Guard immediately sat cross-legged, silently recovering from his massive consumption of spiritual energy.

Long Haochen looked back at the group, nodding to everyone, then flashed in golden light and disappeared once again from the group’s field of view.

The others from Bright Glimmer of Hope all understood that from this instant, their plan was formally launched. They all had coinciding feelings of anxiousness and an indescribable excitement that mostly hid it.

Long Haochen reappeared in a corner of the Moon Demon Palace without a sound. His tiptoes tapping lightly on the ground, he didn’t put any of his spiritual energy to use, only borrowing his body’s strength to send himself aloft.

The walls surrounding the Moon Demon Palace reached a length of over ten meters, but it didn’t count as anything in front of the release of Long Haochen’s power.

They were now in a carefully chosen area that he had finally picked after consulting Yue Ye a lot. This area was in the outskirts of the Moon Demon Palace, inside the Moon Demon Hall, built in tribute to the Moon Demon God. Outside of the Moon Demons’ royal family, the rear of this palace was generally only used for the ordinary Moon Demons’ meal.

No area in the Moon Demon Palace stood with more importance than the Moon Demon Hall. If the Moon Demon God Agares was in his Moon Demon Palace, that’s where his demon god pillar would be, but at that time the Moon Demon Hall would undoubtedly be invulnerable to attacks. But as Agares was not present, his demon god pillar was naturally not present either, rendering an attack on it meaningless.

Long Haochen had a focused look as he picked a spot. Even with his firm will, he couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat accelerate. As soon as the plan was launched, there would no longer be any turning back.

That crystal releasing a dark yellow color as he held it in his hand felt burning hot. Taking a deep breath, he calmed down his emotions, and as his eyes flashed with coldness, that poison-colored crystal in his hand let out a flash of lightning.

This instant, he had already stopped concealing his spiritual energy, otherwise he would be unable to make use of this crystal’s full power.

It disappeared in a flash of yellow light which streaked across an area of a full hundred meters. Accurately landing in a parcel of the Moon Demon Palace’s ground, it drilled into the ground and disappeared without a trace from the surface’s view.

The instant Long Haochen saw it make its way to the ground, he immediately turned his head and ran away, without the slightest pause. Accelerating like a flash of light to his body’s greatest speed while confirming his direction, he sped along toward the predetermined destination. Now was not a time for him to release his spiritual wings yet; it would only make him too conspicuous in the midst of Modu. Instead, he reached his highest speed possible on the ground level.

While Long Haochen made this frantic run, the Moon Demon Palace was still peaceful. The ground outside was the same as before, as if it hadn’t changed in the slightest since then.

The previous outburst of light element fluctuations alone attracted the attention of the Moon Demon Powerhouses present. After all, it was extremely rare for light essence to suddenly appear in this Modu City full of darkness essence.

A few seconds after Long Haochen made a run, a few purple silhouettes suddenly arrived in the Moon Hall, in the area where the yellow crystal drilled itself into the ground. Looking puzzled at the sight of the surroundings, they used a scouting technique on the area.

“How could there be some light elemental fluctuations earlier?” A tall and handsome looking Moon Demon asked in puzzlement. Although clad in a gown, his swelling muscles could still be seen through his clothes.

The other thinner figure replied, “You’re right, I sensed it too. How could some light essence appear so suddenly in there? Did the scouting technique show results?”

“Nothing. Everything is normal.” The third Moon Demon shook his head. The three of these all had a strength reaching the eighth step, only characterizable as normal adults amongst Moon Demons.

The very first to speak was a tall Moon Demon, “Something is amiss. For some reason, I have a bad premonition. There’s no way light essence can appear for no reason. Even sunlight should be unable to make it there. A human light user was surely here just before. We should search attentively.”

As they were talking, the three Moon Demons’ expressions changed at once. Unconsciously, they looked at their feet.

To their shock, a soft, thin-looking, light yellow radiance slowly dispersed to their feet, and spread outwards.

How could there be earth essence coming out now? The three Moon Demons were completely speechless, but it was an extremely soft and mild earth essence that had just appeared, feeling close to no threat to them.

This time, even more Moon Demons had come rushing in, but the yellow color on the ground became more and more intense.

“No good! Take a look” A Moon Demon suddenly lost his voice. The group of Moon Demons followed his pointed finger, discovering with astonishment that at some point a thin layer of yellow had also climbed up the Moon demon Palace’s walls.

“Quick, darkness suppression!” a Moon Demon of rather high cultivation shouted out. Then, all Moon Demons present ignited themselves in intense dark purple radiances.

Moon Demons were no weaklings: almost all the Moon Demons present there were powerhouses of the eighth step. However, their reaction was, in the end, too late. Against an already unleashed forbidden spell, even a Moon Demon of the ninth step would at most be able to defend himself. Stopping the outburst of this forbidden spell would only be doable if Agares was present right now in this Moon Demon Hall.
