Chapter 696: Haoyue, First Demon God in existence? (I) (2/2)
Yang Haoyue heaved a smile, “No need to think on it too deeply, old Chen. Although we don’t understand Haoyue’s antecedents clearly, we can be sure that he will be of great use. Could it be that you don’t understand the binding of a blood contract? He’s simply akin to a part of Haochen’s body.”
Hearing this, Chen Zidian finally revealed a look of relief. Since that was the case, with the binding of the contract, there was no shortcomings in getting Haoyue as strong as possible.
Yang Haoyu told Long Haochen, “It looks that with those two huge bulges on the two sides of this magical beast’s neck, he has the possibility of growing even more heads. With six heads, he’s already at the peak of the eighth step, so once he evolves, wouldn’t his strength rise to an unimaginable measure? As long as his cultivation reaches roughly the third rank of the ninth step, he will be certain to possess a domain ability. And then, with him joining with you, I will completely be no opponent for you, making you the real number one powerhouse of the Alliance at that time. Haochen, try to hurry the matter and help him achieve his breakthrough.”
Long Haochen nodded. Actually, over this period of over four years, Haoyue had not only recovered from all his wounds, but moreover his strength made huge leaps: in those years, a part of the spiritual energy he absorbed from the Tower of Eternity was passed on to Haoyue, who had an incredible accumulation of power. Since his accumulation was sufficient, he could already make a breakthrough at anytime.
But, Haoyue told him by mental transmission that this breakthrough would very possibly draw out the strongest existences of his realm. Those powerhouses had long since taken the greatest measures, knowing that if they couldn’t stop Haoyue from evolving this time, they would never possibly restrict Haoyue.
So, Long Haochen needed to take absolutely safe precautions as this related greatly to Haoyue and his team’s life or death. After this Temples’ Great Gathering terminates, Long Haochen wanted to strive for acquiring a Divine Throne’s approval before helping Haoyue make his breakthrough to raise the certainty of managing to help Haoyue make his breakthrough.
Yang Haoyu declared, “Apart from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, all five of the other’s can only be called reproductions. Although they all reach the level of divine tool, they are on completely different levels compared to the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. With your talent and cultivation, you are bound to gain the approval from these five Divine Thrones, making you directly able to become a Divine Throne. But to really become the owner of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, you must undergo its trial. Back then, I failed to pass it.”
“Trial?” Long Haochen asked curiously, “Grandpa Yang, what is the trial of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation about?”
Yang Haoyu replied, “This is what I wanted to tell you about, the primary reason for my failure of that time was...”
Long Haochen, Yang Haoyu and Chen Zidian had a private discussion for over one hour before exiting the Demon Hunt Squads’ Mission Pagoda. Yang Haoyu told him about a lot of miraculous aspects of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, while enlightening him a lot on the subject of domains, giving him plenty of benefits.
The chaos of Holy War gradually appeased, and thanks to the hard work of the powerhouses from the Six Great Tempels, the social state of Holy City returned to normal.
The Temples’ Great Gathering was in the midst of getting restored. At least a thousand artisans were involved, but by chance the defensive formation inside didn’t suffer any damage, so only outside repairs were needed. Under the joint efforts of so many artisans, it took a day to finish restoring it all.
Second day, morning.
When Long Haochen led Bright Glimmer of Hope to return to the Temples’ Great Gathering, they almost instantly became the focal point of all powerhouses from the Six Great Temples.
The last three matches were rapidly undertaken, and twenty-four contestants came out of the lot.
After the termination of the third round, every winning contestant had gained four total points. After these matches went on, the Knight Temple only had five contestants left, with six for the Mage Temple, three for the Spiritual Temple, two for the Assassin Temple, and only one left for the Warrior Temple. Bright Glimmer of Hope was the greatest black horse, with a total of seven people left.
After three rounds, some variations were seen in the total scores. The Knight Temple had sixty-six points, the Mage Temple sixty-five, Bright Glimmer of Hope, fifty-six, the Spiritual Temple, forty-two, the Assassin Temple, thirty-four, and the Warrior Temple had twenty-four.
With only ten contestants, Bright Glimmer of Hope had actually risen to the third place after three rounds, and, although a gap still separated them from the top two, catching up wasn’t feasible. Only a gap of one point remained between the Mage Temple and the Knight Temple as well.
The individual competition was already at its final climax. The fourth round was bound to change the final rankings the most greatly: these matches would enable every contestant to gain a worth of over eight points. Without a doubt, Bright Glimmer of Hope had already become the hottest topic in vogue: up to seven of the twelve matches would involve them.
