Chapter 513: Demon God of Death (I) (2/2)
That sword intent was different, but its might was clearly not inferior by much. Moreover, Ye Wushang was originally using a divine sword which was also a divine tool. Yet this knight’s weapon was incredibly more strange as it appeared to be a shield that could release sword intent and unleash the power of a divine tool.
Saminaga had lived for over three hundred years, but this was the first time he saw such a thing. Therefore, he couldn’t help but act prudently.
From Saminaga’s point of view, to possess both a Gold Foundation Armor of epic tier and a divine tool, Long Haochen was surely a Holy Knight, powerhouse of the ninth step. That was not a Divine Knight, but relying on a divine tool, his strength ought to be comparable to Long Tianying’s. Therefore, his assessment of Long Haochen’s strength reached a whole new level. Moreover, seeing the powerful sword intent overpower a part of the area of his Domain of Death, he became even more certain of his supposition.
Long Haochen didn’t think about anything else. His sword was his everything.
Indeed, the Divine Snail Shield was not a sword, but this didn’t affect the propagation of Long Haochen’s sword intent. Even empty-handed, his heart formed a sword.
If a year and a half ago his spiritual energy was used to materialize into his sword intent, the sword intent would at most have a foggy shape, at most a barely visible shape of sword. But after that year and a half, the entirety of the sword intent in him took a liquid shape, and his grasp on it was total.
Based solely on his sword intent, the current Long Haochen was indeed already able to compare with Ye Wushang. All he lacked compared to him was cultivation and deepness of understanding. After all, he was still far too young, the gap separating him from the veteran Ye Wushang was extremely wide.
This sword intent was unique and domineering; after all, shocking the Demon God of Death wasn’t something just anyone could do.
Saminaga made his move at this time. Being afraid of Long Haochen’s sword intent was the same as giving up on the divine tool in his hand. But on the contrary, Saminaga was currently determined. He had to kill Long Haochen no matter what. Killing a Holy Knight with such a grasp on sword intent was also a great contribution. Although the Golden Foundation Armor couldn’t be kept because of the Knight Temple’s special means to retrieve them, the spiritual core of a Holy Knight was also a good thing!
After more than nine spiritual cavities are formed, a spiritual pill, also known as a spiritual core, will be produced. Any human powerhouse can increase his spiritual cavities through cultivating, but will only have one spiritual core, which remains inside his first spiritual cavity.
Spiritual pills are far more useful than the magical crystals left by the demons. After all these were only possessed by powerhouses of the ninth step! The demons had the means to eliminate the elemental properties of a spiritual pill, to make it work with pure spiritual energy,and a spiritual pill could act in the battlefield as a life, even to a powerhouse such as Saminaga.
A spiritual pill could instantly replenish the user’s whole spiritual energy. It takes no time and produces no side effects, which is why a spiritual pill is, to an alchemist, an ingredient of the best quality to make top rated medicine.
The stronger the powerhouse of the ninth step leaving the spiritual pill, the better its effects. However, using a spiritual pill is a totally forbidden thing for a human to do. In case a powerhouse of the ninth step dies, it will immediately be buried in a special cemetery, in a place only known by the supreme leaders of the Alliance. Of course, this is one of the highest rated secret in the Temple Alliance. Even if Long Haochen wanted to know about it, that could only wait for the day he would become the head of the Knight Temple.
A large gray hand pierced the sky, instantly enlarging to a size of ten meters, aiming straight at Long Haochen to grab him. At the time it just appeared, that hand was formed of gray airflow, but when it was about to reach out, it had already solidified completely.
Long Haochen wasn’t afraid. Looking ahead with a limpid pair of eyes, he lifted his left hand high above his head, before slowly dropping it.
The orange glow intensified abruptly, and the orange disk of over ten meters diameter descended slowly. Then, the incomparably sharp sword intent on it disappeared in a brief moment, and the whole area was colored orange, except for the golden halo that was spreading from Star King to Long Haochen’s whole body.
Bam! The bright disk and the large hand clashed.
Saminaga’s right hand made a grasping movement. Immediately, a terrible aura of darkness and death surged out, surrounding Long Haochen before blasting out. Terrifying fluctuations of spiritual energy could very clearly be sensed, even from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.
Holding the Demon God of Death's full attention, he was shown Saminaga’s true strength. What powerful attacks!
