Chapter 623: Earth Dragon Liberation (III)
Distorted mental waves circulated noiselessly outside Long Haochen’s body. A mental probing ability of any kind would hardly find him out at this time, unless its spiritual energy surpassed his by over threefold, but even so, it would need to happen to lock on to his precise position.
This was the first time Long Haochen had set foot in the Star Demon Palace, but at present he was like an experienced visitor. Speeding along, he followed the outermost yellow walls, under perfect concealment and without making any sound.
The entire route through the palace had already been simulated many times during his planning with Yue Ye.
In his eyes, this place was unfamiliar but that route was incomparably familiar.
Long Haochen knew that he didn’t have much time. Regardless of whether he would succeed or not, his comrades and he only had a single chance. In case of failure, they would have to immediately retreat.
He was coming closer and close to the objective. Just like the Moon Demon Palace, the Star Demon Palace was also extremely wide, but even walking through all of it would not take much time at Long Haochen’s current speed.
One great building after another kept popping in to sight, but Long Haochen did not encounter any Star Demons. It looks like the Star Demons really deployed all their elites for the sake of coming to rescue of the Moon Demon Palace.
Found it. Long Haochen’s eyes abruptly focused ahead, and his walking pace slowed down accordingly. That was a pagoda-looking building, extremely tall, but without as many floors as the usual pagoda. The whole place was about thirty meters tall, but its volume was below five hundred meters, making it only look excessively tall.
The entire palace was glinting in orange, the orange color characterizing the epic tier, but carrying some traces of darkness element.
The orange radiance vanished slowly, then reappeared, varying like human breathing. At first sight, one could perceive an incorporeal pressure surging out from Long Haochen’s body.
This place inside the palace, the Star Demon Pagoda, location of the Star demon god pillar, was the destination of Long Haochen’s group.
Two Star Demons stood calmly outside the Star Demon Pagoda, looking upward with some hesitation on his face.
The two of them were clad identically in orange gowns and equipped with orange staves. From the aura coming out from them, one could tell out that these two guardians of the Star Demon Pagoda were powerhouses of the ninth step: Star Demons of the ninth step.
Although Long Haochen had already been informed by Yue Ye that the guardians of the Star Demon Pagoda were powerhouses of the ninth step, upon seeing them for real, he couldn’t help but feel uncontrollably nervous. Not because of the opponent’s strength, but due to the matter of time.
He had to dispose of these two Star Demons in the shortest time possible, rush into the Star Demon Pagoda, destroy the demon god pillar, and, finally, escape intact.
This place was Modu Core City, and he definitely didn’t have the time to get rid of these two Star Demons, and then enter the Star Demon Pagoda. They were powerhouses of the ninth step! In another place, he could command his comrades, and deal with those non-demon-god powerhouses with confidence. But there was no way for him to deploy all his strength to kill the enemy in here, and in addition, he had no way to stop the enemies from sending signals about an attack on the Star Demon Pagoda. It was a race against time.
In a flash of golden light, Long Haochen disappeared quietly. The instant he reappeared, he had his comrades at his side, but this didn’t include Haoyue. That’s because Long Haochen knew clearly that this was not yet the time to summon Haoyue, as his aura was just too familiar to demon gods.
These were only two Star Demons of the ninth step, but if Vassago was added to the lot, they would have no chances of winning. Even if Vassago was in his weakest state, he should be able to stall for some time. So the only way to succeed was to have Haoyue ready to teleport and launch his most powerful attack at once, right in front of the Star demon god pillar.
The current Haoyue was chanting an incantation in his own world. His purple bloodline force was already erupting to its peak force, and he was prepared to launch a fatal strike right after appearing.
When Long Haochen brought his group of comrades to be teleported here, those two Star Demons of the ninth step found out about his presence. The looks on their faces changed at once, as they lifted staves in their hand.
“Go!” Long Haochen shouted out, turning into a streak of light rushing straight to the two Star Demons. That was the fastest knight ability Lightspeed Flash.
