Chapter 720: Long Haochen’s chance encounter (II)
Elder Ling’s smiling expression became more and more pronounced. Long Haochen’s domain integration not only made the domains of the three of them even purer, it also gave great benefits to their cultivations. Also, the six people’s united domains gave rise to a stronger side, putting them into an invincible position. This way, even if in the end the Priest Temple was eliminated earlier on, they could still perhaps surpass the Knight Temple and Mage Temple! This could be called a great opportunity, as they were originally supposed to get eliminated soon.
This was Long Haochen’s secret trump that he thought of after Long Tianying gave him a detailed description of the contest to take place within the Saint Bead.
His Light God Domain commanded all holy spiritual energy. In this domain contest, although gaps existed between the Six Great Temples’ powerhouses, these gaps were not too wide. By uniting with another side, he was sure to be the last remaining one. Bright Glimmer of Hope was originally in the top three of this domain battle in strength, but in a direct clash they wouldn’t necessarily achieve victory against the Knight Temple and Mage Temple. But with the addition of the Priest Temple, they gained a gargantuan advantage.
Long Haochen actually had several more choices. They could have relied on the Warrior Temple as well, after all Qiu Yonghao was also a light user. But the Warrior Temple’s three used different spiritual energy attributes, and relied on Qiu Yonghao’s stripping their fields to force things between them. This complicated things: the situation within the Spiritual Bead was frantic, and Long Haochen did not have such a wide energy. So he had no other choice but to give up on that option.
The next pick available were the Knight Temple and Priest Temple. The Knight Temple’s three powerhouses were also light users, and pretty close to Long Haochen. But don’t forget that these three were really strong. Long Tianying had his Divine Throne’s amplification and Yang Haoyu had the Starry Sky Domain. Long Haochen wouldn’t be able to subdue them so easily with his Light God Domain. And, the other Temples could very likely show dissatisfaction.
So Long Haochen finally figured he may as well pick the Priest Temple. The three priests’ gentle domains would show the least rejection in front of his Light God Domain, and the Priest Temple was originally in a weak position amongst the six Temples. Pulling them to his side would not affect the struggle between the Knight Temple and Mage Temple.
Long Haochen chose a timely decisiveness, right when the Priest Temple was about to get eliminated. This way, the Priest Temple showed a much higher acceptance toward his Domain’s assimilation.
This avoided them the embarrassment of having to quit.
Long Haochen’s plan was without doubt a success. Seeing the smile on elder Ling’s face relaxed him greatly. Their new state of stability and benefitting from the Light God Domain’s amplification stabilized the three priests’ domains. The verdict was clear.
Long Tianying shot a glance to Long Haochen with a gloomy feeling, secretly thinking, This brat is actually taking advantage of the Priest Temple in such a way. Even if he couldn’t unite with Brother Yang’s domain, he should have consulted us ahead of time, just have Brother Yang quit and that’s all.
However, his gloominess only continued for a short time before he returned to normal. He secretly found the situation funny: if his grandson really did so, they could be afraid that the other five Temples’ would show a collective disagreement. This guy was really intelligent!
The domain battle kept going with no suspense, and an hour later, the Assassin Temple and Spiritual Temple withdrew in succession.
The Knight Temple, Mage Temple, and the side formed by Long Haochen and the Priest Temple stood in confrontation.
This time, neither of the three parties gave a way out. Long Haochen calmly and relaxedly controlled the united domain’s defenses, showing no traces of panic. Neither the Knight Temple nor the Mage Temple would, upon contact with their domain, induce a large consumption.
However, he had some bias in him after all. When the Knight Temple’s side rammed in, because they were light element users as well, they had far smaller consumption than the Mage Temple’s united magic side. When Long Haochen and Cai’er’s mixed domains occasionally appeared, every one of the Divine Purification Light’s attacks ecffectively weakened these two Temples. The fact that the Priest Temple’s three powerhouses had loosened control over their domain to hand its control over to Long Haochen really gave him the strongest backing possible.
Under these circumstances, the outcome came with no suspense. When the day was dimming, the three powerhouses form the Mage Temples were finally expelled from the Saint Bead.
The Mage Temple having having already gotten beaten, the Knight Temple had no reason to keep persisting, anyway they had no way to stand above Long Haochen’s group.
Therefore the three knights simply gave up directly.
Afterwards, Long Haochen’s three and the Priest Temple separated their union, and the three powerhouses from the Priest Temple voluntarily renounced with no hesitation, Long Haochen, Cai’er and Chen Ying’er finally departing the Saint Bead at the end.
The match being over, results were announced. When the Warrior Temple’s head Qiu Yonghao returned to the field, his complexion was just as unsightly… twenty-four points was simply the lowest score in history.
The chief referee Chen Zidian announced, “The domain battle of the Temples’ Great Gathering has ended. Number one is Bright Glimmer of Hope, number two, Priest Temple, number three, Knight Temple, number four, Mage Temple, number five, Spiritual Temple, number six, Assassin Temple, and number seven, the Warrior Temple.
