Currently, Long Haochen did not find the fourth rank of the ninth step internal spiritual energy terrifying. He found the fourth rank of the ninth step external spiritual energy to be terrifying.
Ah’Bao’s terrifying speed earlier did not come from his internal spiritual energy, but from his physical abilities.
“Are you afraid?” Ah’Bao said coldly.
Long Haochen smiled, “Why don’t you try it and you’ll know?” As he said that, his body suddenly became rather illusory.
Ah’Bao shifted his body instinctively. The purplish red rings of light under his feet suddenly lit up, turning his natural dragon armour the same colour. He extended his purple sword and two of him actually appeared to his side. They seemed exactly the same as him.
Clones? They seemed rather similar to Zhang Fangfang’s Spiritual Stove of Second Life.
The three Ah’Bao’s flashed at the same time, but they launched attacks from different directions at Long Haochen. They worked together and formed a triangle, directly charging towards Long Haochen.
The three purplish swords were lifted high over their heads at the same time, but only the central sword had a gradient in colour. Clearly, Ah’Bao did not plan on hiding his body from Long Haochen.
Ding! With the Sword of Eternity raised, it blocked the three huge purplish swords and only produced a sound. The dense aura of life suddenly emerged from Long Haochen’s body. Afterwards, his Sword of Eternity turned green and erupted with green light which swept towards the three Ah’Baos.
In that moment, Ah’Bao felt like he had been sucked into a huge, green waterfall. The unstoppable feeling immediately shocked him.
Just like how Long Haochen had underestimated him, he had underestimated Long Haochen as well.
Nature’s Bloom.
Out of the three balls of light that revolved around Long Haochen, the green ball of light had already fused into the Sword of Eternity. Deep, green light remained in the air for five whole seconds before gradually fading away.
Ah’Bao appeared three hundred meters away from Long Haochen. He seemed to be in quite a mess. His two clones had already vanished, while his natural dragon armour was criss-crossed with wounds. There were at least twenty or so burns.
“You’re not my opponent.” Long Haochen raised his head slightly and looked down on his opponent.
Ah’Bao snorted coldly, “That’s too early for you to say. Do you think you can harm me with attacks like that?”
As he said that, the rings of purplish red light lit up below his feet once more. When his natural dragon armour turned purplish red, the marks on his armour completely vanished.
“What a strange domain,” Long Haochen smiled. He did not seem to be in a hurry at all. He did not take the initiative to launch an attack.
This time, the purplish red light did not fade away. Ah’Bao’s eyes gradually turned into the same colour, while his dragon wings slowly unfurled on his back. The sky behind him actually became the same purplish red hue. Afterwards, a great pressure expanded from the purplish red colour, rushing towards Long Haochen. He was actually pushed a thousand meters away by this pressure.
The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation released a layer of white light that was an inch thick automatically, protecting Long Haochen from the pressure. Nearby, a hundred meters behind Huang Shuo, a pitch-black figure flashed. She had actually been forced out of the space there by the pressure. Although she immediately fled into the distance and hid herself again, it was more than enough to demonstrate how terrifying the pressure was.
“A supra divine tool?” Long Haochen exclaimed. Ah’Bao really did bring him a surprise again!
The purplish red light in Ah’Bao’s eyes burned like flames. Right behind him in the pitch-black space, a purplish red pillar lit up.
The thick pilalr of light was actually five hundred meters wide. The moment it had appeared, the bright sky immediately darkened. The sun seemed to have been struck into oblivion as the pillar of light rose.
The huge pillar of light that was completely purlish red was inscribed with countless strange symbols. Most importantly, a huge dragon that was exactly the same colour lay on the pillar. The terrifying pressure even caused the air to collapse and the sky to distort.
The shock from the huge pillar’s appearance was just too great.
“That’s… the Demon God Emperor’s Demon God Pillar?” Long Haochen was surprised. Did Ah’Bao inherit the postiion of Demon God Emperor already? No, that couldn’t be right. The Demon God Emperor’s Demon God Pillar was completely dark golden, and it was much larger than this purplish red pillar. However, the purplish red pillar clearly gave off the exact same aura as the Demon God Emperor’s pillar!
“Never did you expect this, Long Haochen.” Ah’Bao looked at his opponent in the distance coldly as the purplish red pillar gave him unprecedented confidence.
“I am the successor of the Demon God Emperor, the future Demon God Emperor of the seventh generation. Father’s granted me a portion of the power from his Devil Dragon Pillar. Even though what I use is only a mirror image of the Devil Dragon Pillar, I can borrow a third of its power. That’s more than enough to deal with you.”
He held the huge sword in his right hand as he extended a finger on his left hand. Immediately, purplish red light descended from the sky from the Devil Dragon Pillar, immediately landing on Ah’Bao.
The huge, purplish red dragon on the Devil Dragon Pillar seemed to become alive. It growled and snarled as it rushed towards Ah’Bao.
The dense, purplish red colour caused the surrounding air to shatter and explode. Ah’Bao immediately gained a set of purplish red armour on top of his natural dragon armour.
The entire set of purplish red armour seemed to be related to dragons. The helmet was a dragon with its mouth open, while the entire armour was covered with thick scales. There were two huge dragon claws on the shoulders. Purplish red light flowed about, such that the armour seemed alive. Even his purplish huge sword became covered in a layer of purplish red scales.
Long Haochen did not attack Ah’Bao as he transformed. He only watched quietly. This was only a third of the Devil Dragon Pillar’s powers. If the Demon God Emperor was here instead, the power would be even more terrifying. The abilities that Ah’Bao currently demonstrated was perfect for Long Haochen to personally experience the might of the Devil Dragon Pillar.
After being surrounded in purplish red light, Ah’Bao’s presence changed. His terrifying aura directly skyrocketed as purplish red sparks flickered in his surroundings. It became a dense net of electricity.
The fusion of darkness and lightning was the true powers of the imperial clan of the Devil Dragons. As Long Haochen watched on, he pointed his Sword of Eternity at Ah’Bao. Immediately, a streak of white light tore through the darkness from the Devil Dragon Pillar and landed on Ah’Bao heavily.
The Light of Judgement.
Ah’Bao stared at Long Haochen coldly, but he did not try to block the attack. With a great boom, white light was sent flying, but he raised his Purple Dragon Sword of Startling Heaven at Long Haochen like nothing had happened at all.
Milky-white light shone from Long Haochen’s body in that moment. It was the Domain of Eternity.
Ah’Bao’s expression changed slightly as the white light had almost illuminated the world behind Long Haochen. The white light purged the darkness from the purplish red colour on a large scale, matching the terrifying aura from the Devil Dragon Pillar.
It was also in that next moment, that Long Haochen and Ah’Bao basically lunged forth at the same time. The two figures clashed at the boundary of their domains with lightning speed.
Boom!
In the moment the Sword of Eternity had collided with the Purple Dragon Sword of Startling Heaven, the world seemed to be falling apart. The entire world immediately became dyed black and white.
Huang Shuo immediately retreated into the distance. Even though the powerful assassin could appear near him at any time, he could not care anymore. Having used the power of the Devil Dragon Pillar, Ah’Bao’s strength had completely exceeded his. Coupled with the power unleashed from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation by Long Haochen, the explosion was just too terrifying.
Neither Long Haochen nor Ah’Bao were knocked away by that terrifying power. The purplish huge sword seemed to have become stuck to the white huge sword, while Long Haochen and Ah’Bao remained locked together at such a close distance.
The powers of darkness and light struggled against one another evenly. The Domain of Eternity also engaged in a full-blown clash against Ah’Bao’s Devil God Domain.
This was purely a clash of power. Under the complete fusion of their equipment, external spiritual energy and internal spiritual energy, they did their best to overcome the pressure from their opponent.
Ah’Bao’s external spiritual energy completely surpassed Long Haochen’s, but in that moment, he was the one with the warped expression.
Long Haochen gripped the Sword of Eternity with both hands as he hovered there without moving. He allowed Ah’Bao to push him as hard as possible, but Long Haochen did not press back. He only stared at Ah’Bao with glowing eyes, allowing their domains to clash.
Huang Shuo guarded himself against the assassin that could appear at any time as he watched Long Haochen and Ah’Bao’s battle. He could tell that although Ah’Bao had invoked a part of the Devil Dragon Pillar’s power, but his overall cultivation was still one step below Long Haochen’s. However, for some reason, Long Haochen did not seem to be using his full power.
The intense clash made Huang Shuo forget about the most important matter, which was the situation of his other imperial guards. However, he could not be blamed. After the Domain of Eternity and Devil God Domain had clashed, all of the spiritual energy in a range of several dozen kilometers was heavily disturbed. Even if he wanted to contact his clansmen, he would struggle, let alone the fact that an extremely powerful assassin currently lurked around him.
As Long Haoche and Ah’Bao began their battle, the imperial Black Dragon guard that was responsible for pursuing the Bright Glimmer of Hope was completely mobilised as well.
Out of them, the imperial guards that pursued Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi had it the easiest.
Yang Wenzhao rode a starlight unicorn which fled into the distance with its wings unfurled. It travelled as quickly as it could.
However, the starlight unicorn was still quite a lot slower than the Devil Dragons. Their distance grew closer and closer.
