Chapter 767: Singular Annihilation (III)

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Three balls of light spray forth and gradually condensed into shape in the air. They turned into three pure and perfect white lotuses.

Cai’er exhaled and opened her eyes slowly. They were filled with surprise and joy.

The fourth rank of the ninth step!

Through the purification of the undead army and her understanding that came afterwards, she actually overcame obstacles consecutively and reached the fourth rank of the ninth step. Her cultivation had even surpassed Long Haochen’s in a single breath. This was a fantastic encounter for her.

And, the Tower of Eternity had evolved to a translucent white with her. It had basically fused with her completely, breaking free from the shadow of the Slumbering Calamity Elux entirely.

“Congratulations, Cai’er,” Long Haochen smiled at his lover. Joy filled his face.

From when she began until now, Long Haochen estimated that roughly ten days had passed on the Shengmo Dalu. Cai’er was not the only one who experienced a drastic increase in cultivation in those ten days. After the battle with the undead kings, everyone else in the Bright Glimmer of Hope had gained rich battle experience and grew more accustomed to their new equipment. They each increased their understanding and progressed to a higher level.

Although the battle earlier was dangerous, it was essentially the testing grounds for the Bright Glimmer of Hope after they had all increased in strength.

Cai’er smiled sweetly, “My spiritual energy should be around the same as your now, but my cultivation might be slightly higher than yours.”

After Long Haochen had merged with the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, his cultivation remained at the peak of the third rank of the ninth step. In other words, he was at the bottleneck. Including the Heart of Eternity, his spiritual energy had actually reached over four hundred thousand. Cai’er had broken through to the fourth rank, but her spiritual energy was around the same as Long Haochen’s.

Long Haochen smiled, “Wouldn’t that mean you’ll be the one protecting me in the future?”

Cai’er help his hand and smiled gently, “Of course not. No matter when it is, you should always be protecting me. Who let you become my man? Speaking of which, how’s Haoyue’s evolution going?” The great increase in her cultivation was unexpected joy to her. Of course, it would be difficult to replicate the same incident. However, the Tower of Eternity had also absorbed some of the power of purification, strengthening its element. It brought great benefit to her increase in strength overall.

Long Haochen said, “Haoyue should be almost done with evolving. Look.”

Cai’er looked in the direction Long Haochen was pointing in. As expected, Haoyue who lay there was no longer peaceful. His body had grown much larger once more, even larger than the clansmen of the Demon Dragon Emperor, the devil dragons. It had actually exceeded forty meters in length and each of its necks had grown thicker. Its purple scales shone with a bright lustre as a terrifying aura faded in and out. The twelve holy guards now were no longer willing to remain by its side.

The two huge bulges at the very front continued to tremble and purple liquid had even begun to ooze out at the very top. Clearly, they should have been two heads. Once they had grown out, Haoyue’s evolution would be completed.

Long Haochen said, “As Haoyue evolves, he seems to be absorbing a special power of this world constantly. I can’t clearly identify this power with my connection to it, but I am certain that it isn’t the darkness element and fire element this world is contaminated with. It should be another power, and it seems to originate from itself in the first place.”

Cai’er furrowed her brows slightly and said softly, “Haochen, whether it’s the Demon God Emperor or the undead of this realm, they all want to do bad things to Haoyue. It seems like if Haoyue matures successfully, it’ll pose a great threat to them. If Haoyue really is that powerful, maybe...”

Long Haochen let out a soft sign and he wrapped his hand around Cai’er’s thin waist. He said, “Haoyue is a good brother of mine. I can only choose to believe in him. Am I supposed to abandon it just because of my suspicions over its future powers? It’s impossible for me to do that, so I don’t have any other choice. And, I believe that even if Haoyue was that Austin Griffin they speak of in its former life, it’s only my good brother Haoyue now. The blood pact has not only brought it our relationship. I’ve also changed its element in the past. Apart from its noble and powerful bloodline, it also contains a part of my bloodline.”

Cai’er nodded gently, “Alright. No matter what you choose, I will support you unconditionally.”

Even now, Long Haochen was still uncertain about Haoyue’s true origins. He was not even willing to investigate. However, it was just like what he had said. Regardless of Haoyue’s origins, how powerful it was in the past and how destructive it was, it was his brother. Was he supposed to turn on Haoyue just because of his fear of Haoyue’s future powers?

“He’s almost done,” Long Haochen said suddenly. At the same time, the nine purplish-golden lines of symbols appeared. The intense light illuminated an area of several dozen square meters.

Cai’er also leapt in fright. An additional, terrifying aura that was the same as Haoyue’s suddenly appeared on Long Haochen. This aura even seemed to make her Domain of Purification tremble.

With a flash of purple light, Long Haochen had appeared above Haoyue. The purplish-golden light began to expand from his forehead, covering him from head to toe in the blink of an eye. He became the same colour.

The sudden occurence alarmed the others of the Bright Glimmer of Hope who were cultivating. After rousing, they immediately scattered and paid attention to everything going on the surroundings. Haoyue had reached the crucial moment of his evolution. Long Haochen seemed to be affected by this evolution as well. Now was the most dangerous time.

However, having roused at an appropriate time, Cai’er became the backbone of the Bright Glimmer of Hope. Her purification powers gave off enough deterrence to scare away any enemy.

Cai’er pointed at the air with the Sickle of the God of Death in her right hand and the three white lotuses condensed earlier immediately flew out. The three lotuses flew off in three different directions, forming a circle far away from where Haoyue was evolving.

Wasn’t this the Flourishing Lotus Flower? If the undead powerhouses really had come to attack, they had to consider the consequences of these Flourishing Lotus Flowers exploding regardless of where they came from.

The Bright Glimmer of Hope understood each other well. Those adept at close combat remained outside, while the mages remained inside. Chen Ying’er chose to unleash her Creature Summoning Gate without any hesitation once more.

After the battle against the Lich King, Chen Ying’er had learnt a lot. Now, her summoning and increased drastically. This time, only one Creature Summoning Gate opened up, but an extremely special magical beast emerged from it.

It was a pure-white horse, which shone with transparent light. Apart from its colour and the light it gave off, it seemed no different from an ordinary horse, but very soon, it demonstrated its might.

With a flash, just like a white bolt of lightning, the white horse arrived in the outskirts. It actually arrived below a Flourishing Lotus Flower and it used its head to nudge the flower gently. Something strange happened. The white light from the Flourishing Lotus Flower did not reject it at all. A ring of white light gradually appeared on the horse’s body and below its feet. Wherever the ring of light reached, gentle white light would slowly expand. It was actually the same purifying power as Cai’er.

“This is a beast of purification, Aldo. Rumor has it that it is the God of Death’s mount,” Chen Ying’er giggled and pointed at Cai’er with her right hand. The beast of purification, Aldo, immediately turned back. When it saw Cai’er, it immediately found her to be close. It erupted with terrifying speed and directly arrived beside Cai’er, nudging her with its large head.

Cai’er could sense the purifying aura from it and she could not help but become overjoyed. With the assistance of the beast of purification, her purifying powers would strengthen. Obviously, it would be much easier to deal with the undead of this realm.

As they carefully guarded Haoyue, Haoyue entered the most crucial moment of his evolution.

Purple light constantly surged out from Haoyue’s body, gathering above it. Where Long Haochen resided was in the centre of the purple.

The purpleness was the will of destruction, but due to their blood connection, Long Haochen did not conflict with Haoyue’s original powers. The power of destruction was much more brutal than his original power of light. When the will of destruction surged into his body. Long Haochen shattered the bottleneck of the third rank of the ninth step. His spiritual energy rose crazily once more. This time, it was due to the increase in power from merging with the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, as well as the powers from Haoyue.

Haoyue’s scales gradually began to crack. The scales which had become huge as they grew with him gradually cracked into smaller scales. Each scale was rough the size of two hands, and the crests on each scale turned into nine criss-crossing crests. The refracted purple light had become iridescent as well.

The iridescence constantly changed in colour. Every single scale on Haoyue gave off an iridescent purple, such that the purple colour would vary in depth depending on the angle. It added a mysterious characteristic to it and it was even more magnificent than before. When the purple had reached its deepest colour, Haoyue would become camouflaged in this world of black and red.

The two huge bulges trembled more violently as well. Even more purple fuid oozed out. As a matter of fact, cracks became visible.

Haoyue’s aura erupted like a geyser and immediately broke through the ninth step. Afterwards, it continued to rise. In the blink of an eye, it had surpassed Long Haochen and continued to climb up.

Finally, a huge head emerged boldly from the bulge on the left with a spurt. It let out a roar. The iridescent purple scales immediately shone brightly and Haoyue’s aura erupted once more at the same time. On the right, another huge head emerged and its powerful aura immediately rose again.
