Chapter 570: Haoyue’s battle for evolution (I) (2/2)

This could be called a matter of luck; but also a matter of strength. The death of one of the seventy-two demon gods in battle and without retrieval of his Demon God Crown would be a loss that can’t be regained for ten years. This was really a direct blow for the demons.

After killing the Demon God of Clear Vision, Long Haochen asked himself if the contribution he had made for the Southeastern Fort was sufficient, and concluded that they could immediately leave from the Southeastern Fort to keep gathering the others. But Long Haochen was not hasty at all, because he had another important matter to handle before that, and this matter would require focusing his time on recuperating first.

Maybe it was because Crocell’s death inflicted high damage on the demons, but they seemed to have ceased and didn’t keep launching attacks. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

In these seven days, Long Haochen came to experience the terror of the technical ability called Sacrifice. This ability gave him the strength to defeat Crocell, but similarly, he was weakened enormously and took seven days to regain his vigor.

Experience in fighting demon gods being extremely important, Long Haochen meticulously narrated to his team the whole process, including Zhang Fangfang in the group.

Wang Yuanyuan informed him of how much Zhang Fangfang sacrificed for her. This captain having lost his Demon Hunt Squad could be said to have gained the complete trust of Long Haochen’s group. Zhang Fangfang’s circumstances were not the same as Li Xin as he was now all alone in this world. Being a knight, he could call himself carefree, so after discussion, Long Haochen decided to temporarily let him into the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad.

Although it exceeded the Demon Hunt Squads’ limitation, this was a choice Zhang Fangfang made on his own. Long Haochen just had to not report to the Demon Hunt Squads’ Mission Tower about this special aspect of their team. He had no worries on the side of the Knight Temple either, as he was now a Provisional Saint Knight Head who could transfer a Temple Knight to follow him without needing to report to anyone.

“Is everyone ready?” Long Haochen looked at the others standing beside him.

At this time everyone was fully clad in martial attire. Having gone through a week of rest, Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang were already fully recovered. At this time, she was in great spirits and her cold murderous spirit vanished. Compared to two years ago, her cultivation, determination and body had all matured.

Zhang Fangfang was rather introverted. His calm disposition was something Long Haochen himself concluded that he didn’t have. After all, due to the difference in age, Zhang Fangfang had even more solid foundations.

In response to Long Haochen’s question, everyone nodded. At this time, they formed a circle around Long Haochen, prepared to be thrown into battle at anytime.

Long Haochen declared, “Haoyue is about to undergo another evolution, very possibly giving birth to a sixth head. Although the previous evolutions went very smoothly, we still cannot lower our guard. Let’s start.”

Confirming the others’ acceptance, Long Haochen’s eyes flickered in golden light, activating the Eternal Melody, and leading everyone inside the Tower of Eternity. Then he transported himself through his blood pact with Haoyue.

That day when he battled the Demon God of Clear Vision Crocell, Long Haochen found out that Haoyue was already on the verge of evolving. With the progress he made thanks to Crocell’s Demon God Crown, he surely would have no trouble evolving. But at that time, he could sense from Haoyue’s feelings that this time’s evolution won’t be as smooth as the time his fifth head came out. That’s why Long Haochen temporarily stopped at the Southeastern Mountain Pass, so that his strength recuperated totally. The first concern was to help Haoyue complete his evolution before planning their next move.

Without need for an explanation from Long Haochen, his comrades understood the importance of Haoyue’s evolution. To say nothing of the close relationship between Haoyue and Haochen, his ability to destroy demon god pillars alone was like a killing weapon in the hands of the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad.

In a flash of purple light, Long Haochen reappeared in that world of darkness and flames. Haoyue was, like before, inside a cave, and Long Haochen’s arrival made him extremely excited. His five large heads immediately expressed their affection, and the pair of huge wings on his back spread out.

As his body became larger, Haoyue became visibly bolder and more powerful. Although his cultivation was merely at the peak of the seventh step, Long Haochen had the feeling that Haoyue’s true force was far from something so simple.

“Haoyue, have you finished making your preparations?” Long Haochen rubbed Haoyue’s heads as he asked.

The five heads led by Little Light nodded, full of excitement, but seemingly quite nervous.

“Be at ease, I will do my utmost to protect you well!” Long Haochen comforted him.

Haoyue transmitted a thought to Long Haochen, asking to be brought outside the cave to undergo his evolution.

Although this was strange, Long Haochen didn’t ask much. Haoyue must have his own reasons to do that.
