Chapter 787: Entering where the Eternal Heroes Slumber (III) (2/2)
Long Haochen slowly stood up straight and struck his left chest with his right first, performing the knight’s salute once more, “For the sake of the alliance, for the sake of mankind, the predecessors have done many things. It only makes sense for me to show respect.”
The stiff voice rang out once more, “Did you just say you’re the Divine Knight of Glory of Leadership? Where’d that kiddo called Yang Haohan go? He seems to be nearing a hundred years in age. Has he died to the hands of the demons? If I recall correctly, he should be the Divine Knight of Defence and Planning.”
Long Haochen said, “Temple head Yang isn’t dead. He’s just handed me the right to communicate with the seniors.”
The voice grew slightly more serious, “Looks like something’s happened to the alliance. It’s the first time that a Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership has appeared for the Knight Temple, and there’s a special case where our existence has been passed down without someone passing away. Tell me, why have you come this time? Hmm, hold on. Before you tell me, prove to me your status as a divine knight. From your brimming vitality, you should be in your prime. Has the Knight Temple gained a genius it’s never seen before?”
Long Haochen said politely, “Junior’s name is Long Haochen. I will be twenty-six in three months’ time. What I inherited is the power of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation out of the six great divine thrones.”
“What?” The stiff voice suddenly became elated. Afterwards, Long Haochen felt a tremendous pressure. The pressure did not push him outwards. Instead, it pulled him in.
However, Long Haochen remained standing there without moving at all. He did not even unleash his spiritual energy outside his body.
Scrape, scrape… A strange sound rang out and a green flame lit up near Long Haochen.
The flame did not burn particularly brilliantly, but Long Haochen did find that it was rather difficult for his eyes to adjust now that light had suddenly appeared in this pitch-black place.
The green fire had appeared in someone’s hand. The person stood over two meters tall and he was extremely skinny. His grey robes were tattered in many places, revealing his ashen skin.
His eyes moved about stiffly as a grey light seemed to flash through them.
He was not a human. More correctly, he should have been a zombie. However, his body was maintained very well, without any part rotting.
He slowly approached Long Haochen. The scraping sound from before came from when he walked. His movements were very stiff, while his knees could no longer bend. As a result, he walked very slowly. However, Long Haochen could sense that this corpse was filled with an aura of danger. He had drawn this conclusion through his sense according to his cultivation.
In terms of age, he remained the same when he had died as he had been turned into a corpse, so around fifty to sixty years old. He did not appear to be too old. Any other person would have probably begun to scream in fright if they came across a zombie in such a dark cavern. However, when Long Haochen saw him, he only showed even more respect.
“Hello, senior.”
Long Haochen bowed politely.
“Let me see the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the zombie said excitedly.
After a slight hesitation, Long Haochen said, “Senior, this might not be the most appropriate place for me to do that. I’m afraid of affecting the slumber of the other seniors here. I might even end up having them.”
The light element hidden within the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was so powerful that once the supra divine tools powers were unleashed here, it would be highly likely that these Eternal Heroes would be harmed no matter how powerful they were!
However, the zombie smiled instead.
“Kakaka, young man, are you thinking your powers of light will harm us? Although I hate how I am right now very much, I just say that the necromancer who created the Scroll of Spiritual Transformation is the greatest genius I know of. Not only did his scroll turn us info undead, it’s retained the element of our powers when we were still alive. Do you think that as the founders of the six great temples, any of us would possess the darkness element?”
Long Haochen gained a new recognition of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux. No wonder the Scroll of Spiritual Transformation was labelled as a supra forbidden spell!
“If that’s the case, please be careful, senior.” Long Haochen took a few steps back and his eyes lit up first.
A gentle, golden light appeared in his clear eyes. Afterwards, a holy aura filled with dignity immediately expanded from him. A huge silhouette of light appeared behind him, except in the narrow corridor, the silhouette of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was unable to appear properly.
