Chapter 538: Star Domain (2/2)
Time waits on no one, and her move gave him the time to give further thoughts.
Right now, Long Haochen didn’t have any other choice. He didn’t have the leisure to try to keep his identity concealed. Unable to wield the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, he only had the Aria of the Goddess of Light at his disposal for use. After all, he was still only at the eighth step, therefore relying only on his strength was far from sufficient. Perhaps Cai’er’s cultivation was still below his, but she had the ability to fully use the divine tool at her disposal.
Right when Long Haochen had steeled himself to use the Aria of the Goddess of Light at its full power, Star King sent him a message.
“Master, shall we give it another try? Maybe our joint strength can once again arouse that shield’s power.”
Long Haochen didn’t have the time to ponder and accepted promptly, “Okay, then let’s give it a try.”
A large expanse of golden light spread out underneath Star King’s feet as his wings spread out. A golden Star of David extended at a frightening speed under him. As this went on, one could see the white hairs on Star King’s body turn golden at a frightening speed.
Without a doubt, this Starlight Unicorn King was using his original power. The golden star shape on his forehead started to let out a dazzling brilliance, which was spreading all over his horn.
At the start, it was only a tiny golden light. But it extended like a fire to form a pentagram, reaching a diameter of ten meters, surrounding Long Haochen and Star King.
Just like when Long Haochen was using the Storing Power ability, a wide golden fog rose up above this pentagram.
After Star King’s use of this ability, Long Haochen felt the light essence in him turning incomparably thick, as almost all the light around seemed to be collected towards their side. In the sky, the light rays of dawn were a lot dimmer than at their first arrival, and their appearance illuminated the whole battlefield.
Star King was using his exclusive ability, as welll as the most powerful skill useable by Starlight Unicorns. In his whole tribe, only he, as their king, was able to use it. Its name: Star Domain.
Star Domain differed greatly from an ordinary domain used by powerhouses of the ninth step, because even as the strongest Starlight Unicorn, he was still only reaching the eighth step and no more. Therefore, the scale of the effects of this domain wouldn’t be too great. Only reaching a diameter of ten meters, this domain’s utility followed along the Starlight Unicorn’s abilities, providing an all-around boost.
It was able in a short time to increase the concentration of light essence within the domain by ten times, absorbing the light rays outside at a frantic speed to fill itself up. In this span of time, Star King’s body would enter a state close to self-ignition. Therefore this couldn’t last for too long, otherwise it would threaten his own life.
The fact he was willing to use Star Domain could only mean that Star King put all his faith in Long Haochen, helping hit without sparing any sacrifices. In fact, Star King and Long Haochen didn’t have any contract between them, and Long Haochen would definitely not force him into doing such a thing.
This was a domain’s amplification! Although it didn’t reach the level of a forbidden spell due to Star King’s level of cultivation, it was already approaching this realm.
Long Haochen had almost no hesitation to force out the spiritual energy from his whole body, pouring it into the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon.
Just before, Long Haochen foud himself unable to use the power of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon at the times of dawn and dusk, each of his attempts having turned fruitless. Even consuming his whole spiritual energy was of no use.
After his last experience of wielding the Divine Snail Shield’s power as a divine tool, Long Haochen reminisced once again about the last chant left by the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon, faintly remembering the deep secrets of the Divine Snail of Sun and Moon. It was just that he couldn’t unleash this power due to his insufficient level of cultivation.
“Defense of Sun and Moon, borrowing strength from the owner’s heart. Guided by the Light, Blessed by the Gods. As surely as dawn brings a new day, and sunset a new night, when(or as) the sun and moon intertwine, the divine snail shall act as shield.”
If Long Haochen’s guess was correct, this Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon would, at such times, wield the power of a supra-divine tool. At this time, he didn’t have the time to give much thought to it, and could only pour his spiritual energy into the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, attempting to release its might:
After all, avoiding using the Aria of the Goddess of Light which would reveal his identity was the best.
This time Long Haochen was confident, as he had the Golden Foundation Armor and Star King for support. And this support directly raised his spiritual energy to the state of spiritual highland. After directly pouring pouring the spiritual energy elevated to the spiritual highland into the Divine Snail Shield, its power was much greater. Long Tianying once told him that to activate a Divine Throne, the state of spiritual highland was a must. Ordinary spiritual energy had no way to get a response from a Divine Throne.
Not only Divine Thrones, but from Long Tianying’s experience, almost all divine tools would require the state of spiritual highland for activation.
Cai’er’s case was special. In fact, the Scythe of the God of Death had already become part of her body. At most she was unable to unleash its full might, but could at least use it. But, thinking in another direction, just think of how much Cai’er had to pay since her youth for it, and furthermore, it’s not something that just anyone could inherit.
As his spiritual energy kept being poured in, Long Haochen’s whole perception of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon changed. On the other side, the murderous spirit released by Cai’er kept growing in intensity. In terms of might, it was far above Long Haochen’s side. After all, Star King’s Star Domain was far from comparing with the pure awe-inspiring power of the Scythe of the God of Death.
The feeling the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon gave Long Haochen was like that of a bottomless abyss. His spiritual energy was rapidly drained, and in the meantime, the spiritual energy coming out from his Golden Foundation Armor started pouring out in torrents, passing through Star King’s Star Domain to be injected into the shield.
Although the Divine Snail Shield had yet to give any response up to now, Long Haochen was glad to see that on the horizon, white light was starting to appear. The sun was gradually showing its first rays.
Be it at times of dusk or dawn, the times when the sun and moon cross are very short. Only after such times could Long Haochen use the Divine Snail Shield’s force. And the shield at its epic tier form combined with God’s Descent was ample to deter the enemy, and boost their own troops’ morale.
War was already being carried out all around: the demon army was rapidly sweeping through, and in the fortress, the soldiers in the teams under the Brilliant Angel Knights were risking their lives and tenaciously suppressing the Dual Bladed Demons’ advance towards the fortress, preventing them from climbing through.
Far off, in the demon armies’ ranks, Dual Headed Eagles and Birdy Demons were rushing at a frightening speed. The sky was clouded in darkness. With the support of the six great demon gods from the rear, these flying demons became all the more terrifying. On the ground, a large amount of middle levelled demons were mixing among the Dual Bladed Demons’ ranks, and approaching the fortress. In the meantime, the many Demonic Eye Soldiers and Blazing Devils were already preparing their magic.
The Emo Demon God Sytry was in total fury. This time, she violated the Demon God Emperor’s orders and launched an all-out attack to avenge the two demon gods. Her plan was simple: she wanted to destroy the Exorcist Mountain Pass and occupy it, so that the demons would be able to advance into the Temple Alliance’s territory at any time. Of course, she wouldn’t continue to march, otherwise this would really be a challenge towards the Demon God Emperor’s authority, which she didn’t dare do.
