Chapter 538: Star Domain
Sheng Lingxin hastened to the first lookout point in the second floor of the fortress. Then the look on his relaxed face immediately changed greatly.
Long Haochen followed him to watch the situation from above, and his mood immediately became heavy from the sight.
It was merely that, within the demon armies approaching from afar, six gigantic brilliant pillars were soaring and shining upon the whole demon army. And, these six gigantic pillars were gradually approaching the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
No doubt, these were the six demon god pillars.
From the information that the Exorcist Mountain Pass had, outside of the Winged Ox Demon Sagan, who was still at the peak of the eighth step, they all reached the ninth step.
After borrowing power from the amplification of their demon god pillar, their strength could only be described as terrifying. This disposition of forces from the demons clearly meant that they were prepared to have a battle to the death with the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
Furthermore, the six great demon pillars were moving together, putting more pressure onto the Exorcist Mountain Pass as they were giving considerable boosts to the ordinary demons as well. At the same time, it gave an immense, ineffable boost to the demons’ morale.
Sheng Lingxin clearly looked quite panicked. Although he had good self control, from his current silence one could see that the full force demon attack put massive pressure on the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ military.
“Uncle Sheng, don’t worry. Let’s take the necessary measures to adapt to the situation,” Long Haochen whispered in his ear, in a low voice that was only heard by Sheng Lingxin.
Sheng Lingxin turned his head and glanced at him, before nodding rapidly.
Long Haochen pulled Cai’er’s hand, and told her after pondering for a short time, “In a large scale battle, the soldiers’ morale is the most important. We have to avoid a loss of morale from our side. Cai’er, let’s go up and give them a show.”
As he said that, Long Haochen’s right hand clenched and Star King appeared at his side.
Ever since getting bathed in the rain of light initiated by Long Haochen, Star King’s demeanor seemed different. The golden tint in his pure white fur was even more conspicuous, and his eyes became even more limpid.
Long Haochen started to raise himself higher, riding on Star King’s back.
Sheng Lingxin became alarmed, “The Saint Knight Head shouldn’t rush to action rashly.” In the battlefield, he naturally couldn’t use Long Haochen’s name.
Haochen replied with a be at ease’ gesture, and called out to Cai’er, before tapping on Star King’s wings, which spread out to head upwards.
Meanwhile, Cai’er turned into a gray glint that followed after Long Haochen’s back. Immense black wings spread out from her, following Haochen in the area above the fortress.
Long Haochen was waving to Cai’er to tell her to keep close to his side. In the meantime, the Dual Bladed Demons lower down were already starting their ascension of the Exorcist City, and the main demon forces were continuously advancing.
After the two people had a short, simple conversation, they nodded in succession before scattering to the two sides.
The Exorcist Mountain was located high, in the mountains. Both sides of the city stood on peaks, therefore only the central area was exposed to the enemy. This was a true natural fortress. Relying on those natural advantages, the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ side had stopped the demons’ attacks a lot of times already.
Long Haochen and Cai’er arrived rapidly at their respective sides of the Exorcist Mountain Pass.
Riding Star King’s back, Long Haochen softly patted him on his neck, “Star King, the practical experience you will have in a bit should be beneficial for your evolution.”
Star King turned round to look at Long Haochen and gratefully nodded in response.
Long Haochen took a deep breath, then recovered Rippling Light. Slowly lifting up his left hand, his Divine Shield of Sun and Moon was taken out, yet didn’t release its habitual orange radiance.
Long Haochen had a slight start, then raised his head to look at the sky. Immediately, he had a flash of realization. Right! Now was the time of daybreak, when sun and moon are crossing. The time when the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon was losing effectiveness. But this totally ruined the plan he had just formulated alongside Cai’er.
Cai’er and him could be said to have everyone’s total attention. In case of a careless mistake in the plan, the whole Exorcist Mountain Pass would be the one suffering a terrible blow.
On the other side, Cai’er was floating in midair, looking into the distance. At some point she lifted up her right hand above her head. At that time, the immense Sickle of the God of Death appeared in her hand soundlessly. Immediately, a wide expanse of gray airflow spread out with Cai’er as a center, and a dense killing intent spread out all around. Tyrannical waves of spiritual energy giving off a great feeling of substance surrounded her.
Cai’er’s hair started to rise up without the wind’s help, and her eyes gradually turned into a black color. The Sickle of the God of Death shook slightly, and twisted gray waves surrounding her kept growing bigger.
Long Haochen saw Cai’er’s situation very clearly. His original plan was to unleash his abilities as a god’s chosen one alongside her. After all, the demon armies ahead didn’t have knowledgeable demons such as Ah’nan, and now that he had also switched mounts, they wouldn’t easily recognize him.
Moreover, he had to do it even if it meant getting recognized. If the Exorcist Mountain Pass didn’t manage to resist, did it even matter to keep himself concealed any more?
Seeing that Cai’er had already started to unleash her aura of death, Long Haochen didn’t start to panic because he was unable to use the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon.
