Chapter 727: Bright Glimmer of Dawn Equipment Changes! (III)

Wang Yuanyuan had changed into an armor of epic tier, and got a plentiful store of spatial crystals.

After the last time she had utilized that Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, the spatial crystals were all used up. With this fix-up, the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield once again glowered with the light of the epic grade, or rather, it should be the immortal grade, that would be reached upon inserting seven spatial crystals into the Gigantic Soul Shield.

Lin Xin’s harvest was even greater. The robe Glorious Holy Fire’s Praise was one thing, but he also gained a Fire Dragon Crystal, an immortal grade staff drawing power from a fire dragon’s crystal, to bring along.

Sima Xian did not choose any equipment, however. Feng Ling’er had expressed that she had prepared a set fitting him the best from the Alliance’s Great Auction House.

Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang did not choose any equipment either, and both had looks of determination. Although they did not express it, everyone could guess their goal. Just like Long Haochen, they were aiming for the full-set covering and defense called Divine Thrones.

Not choosing any equipment from the Demon Hunt Squads’ Transaction Center was just like burning their boats so that they had no leeway left.

In comparison, Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi chose equipment for their own after a lot of hesitation. Under Long Haochen’s deliberate arrangements, Yang Wenzhao chose a pair of heavy swords of epic tier for his own, while Duan Yi had a shield of epic tier plus a heavy sword of epic tier. The equipment on these two alone used up over six million contribution points.

The individual equipment aside, Long Haochen also purchased some team gear and medicine. Among them were two pills for improving domain comprehension, to be used at the ninth step, which were for Lin Xin and Sima Xian.

Bright Glimmer of Hope’s original setup already had four domains out of seven, with Han Yu aiming next for a Divine Throne. As such, Haochen naturally showed some more consideration to Lin Xin and Sima Xian who already reached the ninth step. Zhang Fangfang also reached the ninth step, but was in a similar situation as Han Yu, and took the initiative of giving up in the struggle for the medicines.

The team gear was to Long Haochen’s greatest liking. Called Domain of Instant Flash, it was a necklace which would look very ordinary if not for its orange glint symbolic of the epic tier. It was a simple-looking silver necklace with a transparent crystal with the look of a snowflake, yet giving off a very unique feel.

The name of Domain of Instant Flash was because this piece of equipment of epic tier had, in some sense, a domain ability attached.

The user could pour mental force into it so that the Light of Instant Flash would get attached onto him. Then, in times of battles, he would be able at anytime to teleport one’s ally to his side in a time of battle. Light of Instant Flash really reached the scope of a domain, in other words, even if the ally was trapped within a domain’s enemy, the teleportation ability would still work.

But Light of Instant Flash had some limitations as well, such as the need for acceptance of its owner for them to connect.

With this team gear added onto Long Haochen’s powerful mental force, he would be able to transfer his comrades at anytime, reinforcing his position as core of the team.

One could say that this gear change had caused a qualitative leap to all Bright Glimmer of Hope’s strength. Afterwards would come the tests of approval of the Divine Throne in the Knight Temple, as well as Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi’s Pure Gold Foundation Knight tests. An unprecedentedly strong Demon Hunt Squad was being born.

In the evening, the group bade farewell to their relatives, and in bright morning they left Holy City alongside the rest of the contestants of this Temples’ Great Gathering from the Knight Temple’s side, proceeding for the Knight Temple’s Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

In the meantime, the new Union was already operating at full speed. Li Zhengzhi and Long Tianying had remained in Holy City, responsible for training the new Alliance’s number one and two legions. The Six Great Temples were already transferring their practitioners of all vocations to Holy City for uniting. Even part of the powerhouses that took part in the Temples’ Great Gathering had remained behind.

As the two initial legions of the new Union, they naturally put all their strength into becoming the strongest existence possible. This proved, in some way, the correctness of the decision of the Union’s formation, and also further reinforced the people’s trust in the new entity.

Demon race, Modu. Demon Emperor Palace.

“What? Long Haochen did not die?”

The Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu grabbed his seat with strength. The throne he pinched let out cackling sounds, but didn’t show any traces of damage. This throne was said to be made of the first Demon God Emperor’s bones, becoming a symbol of the Demon God Emperor’s might with a high significance for demonkind.

In front of the Demon God Emperor was seated a calm Ah’Bao, his purplish black hair draping over his shoulder. Compared to several years ago, his current appearance was far more steady. As a whole, he looked just like a sculpture, though his handsome face clearly became pale. Hearing the name of Long Haochen, his calm eyes suddenly sharpened, just like two bolts of lightning striking through the Demon Emperor Palace. Even the Demon God Emperor slightly narrowed his eyes.

In five years’ time, Ah’Bao’s demeanor had changed totally. His character became far more introverted and very taciturn. But no one else besides the Demon God Emperor knew how much Ah’Bao had paid in these five years. Even the one known as Berserk Demon God, Ananda, was unable to compare with Ah’Bao’s hard work.

Being the Demon God Emperor’s son, in his body flowed the Devil Dragon’s pure blood. Add to that his newly arisen persistence and assiduousness, and his cultivation had encountered an earth shattering change.

Standing in deference, the commander Black Dragon’s Imperial Guard Huang Shuo was making the report.

“Yes, Your Majesty. According to our spies in the Temple Alliance, he not only didn’t die, but furthermore led his Demon Hunt Squad in participating in the Temple Alliance’s Temples’ Great Gathering, and furthermore became champion. He showed an extremely great strength in the gathering, already mastering a domain of his own,” Huang Shuo deferentially reported.

Ah’Bao listened with all his attention, seemingly calm, but unaware both his hands had clenched into fists.

The Demon God Emperor furrowed his eyebrows, declaring sternly, “I have personally killed Long Haochen. How could he resurrect? With his heart destroyed, even the strongest human priest in existence couldn’t possibly bring him back to life. There’s surely an issue with the information. Huang Shuo, mobilize all our spies in human territory. Gain more information at any cost. Hurry!”

“Yes. Your Majesty, could that be a false trail launched by humans?” Huang Shuo asked.

“That’s not impossible. Or else, could there be a mistake in that I killed Long Haochen personally? But why would humans resort to such a conduct? Could it be that they still haven’t learnt enough from the lesson they had over four years ago?”

“Royal father, please let me make a trip to the human side. If Long Haochen is still alive, I will bring back his corpse.” There was only one immense target of hatred in Ah’Bao’s heart, and that was Long Haochen who had personally crushed his confidence, as well as causing him to lose his most beloved girl. He also created an obsession in him that his strength was insufficient, and everything was a lie. So he frantically trained in these years, for the sake of getting ready to take over the Demon God Emperor’s position.

“Out of the question. There is no need to do so either. Long Haochen is certainly already dead. Huang Shuo, invite the Star Demon God, I need to have a talk with him.”

“Yes.” Huang Shuo’s respectful response came swiftly.

Ah’Bao asked sternly, “Royal father, I don’t understand, why didn’t you destroy his corpse also at that time, instead of letting his teammates go off with it?” He had always been confused regarding this point, not understanding the Demon God Emperor’s acts.

Right now, the Demon God Emperor had a somewhat unsightly complexion, as he let out a cold snort, “This matter has nothing to do with you. I have my own view, so there’s naturally a goal behind whatever I do.”

Ah’Bao didn’t speak further, and lowered his head in silence.

Along with the increase of his strength, his status among demonkind also became more and more elevated. The same went for the past generations: while they were crown prince their statuses within the Devil Dragons would grow steadily, until, surpassing the previous Demon God Emperor, or upon the latter’s death, they succeeded to the crown.

In demon history, there had even been a case of the later generation’s Demon God Emperor killing the former one to rule.

A short time later, the Star Demon God Vassago accompanied Huang Shuo back to the Demon Emperor Palace.

“Boss, you looking for me?” Vassago respecfully bowed to the Demon God Emperor, while sending his greetings to Ah’Bao.

Ah’Bao only made a slight polite gesture, but remained silent, not even standing up.

The Demon God Emperor asked, “Third brother, Huang Shuo should have told you everything. News came from humankind about Long Haochen’s revival. How do you view this matter?”

Vassago lost the smile on his face, “That’s just a rumor. Don’t forget, Boss, you are the one who personally killed Long Haochen. Furthermore, after he died, I immediately went to predict our race’s future. Although I only used the simplest Prophecy Technique, I only saw a radiant future for our race. The earlier threat is already thoroughly erased. Although I don’t know why humankind would do such a thing, I can affirm that Long Haochen has already died at that time, bringing that Austin Griffin to death alongside him.”

Hearing Vassago’s confirmation, the Demon God Emperor relaxed for a bit, and nodded, “Then that’s for the best. I’m just afraid about the case that humans would have had some extraordinary ways to bring him back to life.”

This time, Ah’Bao suddenly blurted out, “Third uncle, if you were to once again utilize the Great Prophecy Technique, would you be able to predict Long Haochen’s condition?”

The Demon God Emperor wrinkled his eyebrows, “Don’t talk drivel Ah’Bao. Do you think Great Prophecy can be used at anytime? It’s not as if you don’t know for how long your third uncle has been in a weak state after utilizing Great Prophecy. It’s only recently that he has recovered.”
