Chapter 790: Is this a Test, or is it Imparting Knowledge? (III)

The liquid flowed and two huge golden swords also appeared in Xiao Huo’s hands. Compared to Long Haochen’s swords condensed from spiritual energy, his swords were dark golden with their aura completely hidden away. When the two swords were formed, even his aura of light had vanished completely, as if that was just a set of metal armour, unrelated to spiritual energy.

However, just when the aura of light vanished, Long Haochen could clearly sense that even was even more terrifying. It was even a little like when he faced against the Demon God Emperor. This predecessor’s strength had actually surpassed the Knight of Judgement of the Dead!

“Use your full strength,” Xiao Huo’s voice rang out in Long Haochen’s head, and then he moved.

Although he was the predecessor, he showed no intentions of going easy. With a flash of golden light, he crossed his swords and slashed out. A dark golden cross basically arrived before Long Haochen instantly.

Long Haochen was experienced in battle. From the moment Xiao Huo had moved, he had responded. He took half a step back with his left foot and swung his right sword at the same time. Xiao Huo’s cross slash arrived before him like it had been delivered there, while his attack just happened to strike the centre of the cross.

Golden light as resplendent as the sun shone from Long Haochen’s right sword. Shining Solar Strike, fourth step knight technique.

Golden light merged in the sky. Long Haoche did not retreat. When the cross slash was destroyed, he had stabbed out with this left sword as well. He used the Demon Wiping Flash he had created himself.

Countless flashes of the sword enveloped Xiao Huo like a golden mist under a special rhythm. There were no ear-piercing sounds. Each attack was just like a strand of light.

Many of the spectating Eternal Heroes nodded secretly to themselves. From Long Haochen’s fluid movements and his self-created technique, they could tell this young man was outstanding. His achievements were supported by firm strength.

Xiao Huo’s actions were slightly delayed. Faced with the Demon Wiping Flash, he could not dodge it. He placed his two swords before him in a strange stance. As soon as his stance was completed, the Demon Wiping Flash arrived.

Even though Long Haochen’s weapons were not particularly powerful, the Demon Wiping Flash was created through the combination of the Lightning Thrust and his self-created Light Ripples. Just how powerful was it now that it was powered by a cultivation at the ninth step?

However, all of the golden light silently vanished when it was thirty centimetres away from Xiao Huo. There was not even the slightest ripple when it vanished. The attack was useless. What surprised Long Haochen the most was that his attack did not even seem to touch his opponent.

What was this power? Was it a domain?

When he thought about domains, Long Haochen subconsciously unleashed his Light God Domain. Gentle, golden light immediately enveloped the battlefield.

After the recent high level battles he had gone through, Long Haochen’s control over his Light God Domain became better and better. His Light God Domain did not lose any power, but it did not affect the other Eternal Heroes in the surroundings either.

The Light God Domain could be described as the nemesis of all other light element domains. Long Hoachen believed that now his domain had been used, combined with the strengthening from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, he should possess the upper hand no matter what. At least, he would be able to force Xiao Huo into using some stronger attacks to reverse the situation.

However, he realised he was wrong. When the Light God Domain collided with Xiao Huo, Long Haochen almost cried out. His domain was useless.

That’s right, his Light God Domain was completely ineffective against Xiao Huo. Light surged while Xiao Huo stood unmoving within the stream like a rock. The power of Long Haochen’s Light God Domain flowed by his side like water.

It was also at this moment that Xiao Huo launched his second attack from his strange stance.

What Long Haochen saw was a huge golden eye. When Xiao Huo launched the attack, he completely vanished. Afterwards, an overwhelming power appeared before him.

In that moment, Long Haochen only felt his body tremble controllably. Countless golden rays of light appeared on his Armour of Eternity. Every ray of golden light gave him a slight stinging pain. The light basically covered every inch of his body, but he was unable to do anything about it at all. He swung his swords and no matter how he used his spiritual energy, it was completely useless against the huge, golden eye. It was like his spiritual energy and all his abilities had become useless in that moment.

Boom!

Long Haochen was launchd far away, just like he had been blown away by the gaze of the huge, golden eye. He struck the stone wall in the distance and slowly slid to the ground.

The golden eye vanished and Xiao Huo reappeared. He wore the same golden armour as his two swords shone with a faint, golden light.

“Is that all your power? How are you supposed to contend with the Demon God Emperor like this?” Xiao Huo said indifferently, without any particular emotion. However, it made Long Haochen’s face burn when he heard it.

The strike before did not cause him any damage, because the force when the countless rays of light landed on his body was not particularly great. Coupled with the powerful defence of the Armour of Eternity, he was only launched away.

Long Haochen was not injured, but his heart stung.

Ever since he had obtained the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation and Haoyue had evolved, he felt like he had the ability to challenge the Demon God Emperor. This was why he held the meeting in the union so confidently, wanting to fight the Demon God Emperor to the death.

However, what happened just now was like a fierce slap across his face, waking him up from his overconfidence. He did not understand how he had lost at all, nor did he understand why his swords, his spiritual energy and Light God Domain all became useless. Was this predecessor immune to light element abilities?

Long Haochen slowly climbed to his feet and looked at Xiao Huo who stood there. He took in a deep breath and calmed himself down. Afterwards, he raised his swords slowly and said politely, “Please give me guidance, predecessor.”

He would climb up wherever he fell. Only through battle could he understand the exact reason for his failure. Tenacity formed a great part of his personality. Although he had been easily defeated by Xiao Huo, he did not become depressed. Instead, he was wary.

Without a doubt, the Demon God Emperor would definitely be much stronger than this predecessor. If he could not even deal with the predecessor’s attacks, how great of a chance at victory did he have before the Demon God Emperor? Where was the issue? He could only look for it himself.

He had even contemplated using Haoyue’s power here. However, despite Haoyue’s power, if he was not strong enough, how was he supposed to fight against the Demon God Emperor with Haoyue?

Xiao Huo said nothing. He only raised his two swords slowly and stood in the same stance as before. He still did not give off any aura of light.

This time, Long Haochen directly used the Light God Domain. Dense light element gradually appeared as nine-colored golden light in his surroundings. This was the consequences of the combination between the Domain of Eternity and Light God Domain. When the translucent, white Domain of Eternity and the clear, golden Light God Domain combined, iridescent light appeared as white appeared within the golden colour. Its aura also seemed to subside, no longer as powerful as before. However, the spectating Eternal Heroes could clearly sense a tremendous pressure from Long Haochen. Eternal Heroes with slightly weaker cultivations even backed up further away, while Shu Yongxiao’s blood-red eyes shone strangely. Clearly, she was very interested in the transformation of Long Haochen’s domain.

The multicoloured golden light rapidly revolved around Long Haochen. He directly used his domain technique, the Divine Light Waltz.

After some quick thinking, Long Haochen understood that the reason for his failure was because his domain became useless. He did not know why his domain had become useless, but he had to find a reason for it, or he still would not be able to block Xiao Huo’s attack.

As a result, he pushed the power of his domain to the limit this time, and he fused it with the power of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, just to understand the secrets of his opponent’s domain through an even stronger domain.

Long Haochen moved very slowly. He used the Divine Light Waltz and slowly approached Xiao Huo. The reason why he did this slowly was because he could get a closer glance at his opponent’s movements, and also to give Xiao Huo enough time to react. He did not want to injure this predecessor!

However, Xiao Huo continued to stand there without moving, remaining in his strange stance.

His stance seemed very simple. His left leg did not move, while his right foot was placed half a step in front. He was on his toes on his right foot with the knee bent. His left sword was placed before his lower abdomen, while his right sword was placed before his chest. Both of the swords pointed outwards.

The Divine Light Waltz grew closer and closer. The domain technique’s power could not be compared to just releasing the domain, not to mention the strength of Long Haochen’s domain had basically increased by several fold this time.

Long Haochen had already expanded his senses as much as he could. He could clearly detect even the slightest changes to spiritual energy.

The Divine Light Waltz was just about to arrive before Xiao Huo.

Just when they collided, Long Haochen caught a strange change.

Xiao Huo’s figure suddenly became illusory, just like his body had trembled for a split second according to the special rhythm of the Light Ripples. In the next moment, the Divine Light Waltz slowly parted an inch before him. However, it did not completely slide past him this time. It pressed up against Xiao Huo.

Before Long Haochen could ravish with joy, Xiao Huo moved once more. He immediately vanished and the golden eye appeared once more. However, the golden eye appeared above the Divine Light Waltz this time.

An indescribable power pressure down on the centre of the Divine Light Waltz, actually directly pushing the power of the domain technique down into the ground. Afterwards, the huge, golden eye opened.
