Sealed Divine Throne

Chapter 575: Wrath of the Lich King (I)

But just as the Lich King’s domain was restricted by Long Haochen, the shield transformed from the starlight divine beast had an extreme resistance against any death and darkness magic. That purple blister didn’t have a very great force of impact, but its powerful darkness element corroding effects silently withered away in front of the Divine Snail Shield.

Having managed to block the enemy’s attack, Long Haochen took a small breath of relaxation. This Lich King was certainly very strong, but seemed to be suppressed in the elemental aspect. Furthermore, due to the use of the Spiritual Cojoined Pills, Long Haochen’s current cultivation reached an astonishing level.

His mates were all powerhouses of the seventh step exceeding 100,000 spiritual energy. Put together, the five of them exceeded a total of 600,000, and adding that to his own spiritual energy, even without Golden Foundation Armor, that made a powerhouse of the ninth step. With the supply provided by his armor, his total spiritual energy was already over 150,000. Add to that his entire set of equipment at least at the epic tier, and the Lich King wouldn’t have an easy time to kill him.

With a cold snort, the Lich King once again made that strange incantation from before, causing purple blisters to be unceasingly emitted from her staff. Some were big and some small, and as they flew past Long Haochen, pitch-black twisted marks were left. On the trajectory of their flight, space was unexpectedly shredded, and this was done solely with the corrosive power of the blisters. That’s just how terrifying they were.

Long Haochen’s eyes were glinting golden, parrying the enemy’s attack through the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon. But, those blisters consumed his spiritual energy at a considerable speed. At this rate, he won’t last for very long.

“Yating!” Long Haochen shouted loudly.

Yating and him were mentally interconnected. His most powerful spiritual stove, which absorbed a great amount of energies from her fusion with the Saint Spiritual Stove, evolved to such an extent that Long Haochen had never heard of such a thing before.

The lich king’s unfathomable strength reached an estimate of at least 300,000. And furthermore, in this realm, her strength was bound to be greatly amplified. Yet Long Haochen didn’t know how much longer Haoyue needed to remain. At this rate, they would only be able to wait for death, so he had to think of a way to contend with the enemy.

Yating kept herself flying alongside Long Haochen all the time. Hearing his call, she lifted up her golden staff. Then one could see a golden flash of light shoot out from the staff, aiming straight at the lich king.

At the same time as this shooting light, a small furnace appeared faintly in front of Yating.

The lich king once again extended her left hand, pointing it at this shooting light.

Speaking of a strange thing, the flash of light in question wasn’t affected by the pointing finger. As it landed on the lich king, one could see clearly that light tightening up around the lich king’s waist, pulling her toward Long Haochen’s direction.

What’s that? Let alone the lich king, even Long Haochen’s group didn’t know what ability Yating was using. Actually disregarding the enemy’s defense to pull her in directly, even someone with the lich king’s degree of power didn’t manage to resist it.

This success greatly overjoyed Long Haochen. An intense multicolored light abruptly burst out from the Divine Snail Shield smashing the purple blisters one after another, and the Aria of the Goddess of Light reappeared in his right hand.

Instantly, Long Haochen made himself one with the divine sword. A sharp sword intent surrounded his body, as the surroundings looked completely distorted. A sharp ringing sound pierced through the skies, as a glistening orange brilliance was shot at the lich king.

As it turns out, in the short time he crossed hands with the lich king, Long Haochen came to understand that this enemy was similar to a human mage manipulating departed spirits. Her magic was really powerful, the most powerful that Long Haochen had seen in his life. Even when relying on his Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon and a spiritual energy exceeding the count of 150,000, resisting that was very difficult. However, her magic being so strong, her physical ability would naturally not be too great. A direct attack on her body would probably be decisive.

The golden light shot from Yating’s staff was a powerful ability born from the new evolution of the Saint Spiritual Stove. After absorbing the gem left by the Demon God of Clear Vision, a change appeared in the Saint Spiritual Stove. Although it didn’t increase the range of the Saint Spiritual Stove, and didn’t gain an ability like Clear Vision’s Godly Pull as Long Haochen imagined, it gained an extremely special annex ability, of the same category as the Saint Spiritual Stove. As a matter of course, it completely became part of Yating, because the Saint Spiritual Stove originally became part of her. This ability is called Absolute Foundation.

Absolute Foundation only applies on the Saint Spiritual Stove’s Pull ability, and as long as Yating activates it, no matter how powerful the enemy is, this enemy will still be pulled to some extent, and arrive in front of Long Haochen.

This ability has a range of one hundred meters, which is to say that upon entering within a hundred meters range from Yating, the target can be pulled unconditionally. This ability of Absolute Foundation is still far weaker than Clear Vision’s Godly Pull, but don’t forget that Clear Vision’s Godly Pull won’t necessarily succeed, and has a lot of limitations. Although this ability of Pull is limited in terms of range, it is now even comparable to a divine artifact within a range of a hundred meters. Of course, the premise is that Long Haochen can definitely win against the opponent. And furthermore, this ability gained after evolving can be activated only up to three times a day.

The lich king coldly spread to Long Haochen’s mind the thought, “Wishful thinking!”

Did Long Haochen’s divine sword strike reach out? It did reach out, however, it only struck an expanse of deep purple fog.

At the time the lich king arrived in front of Long Haochen, the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove lost effectiveness, therefore the last blow filled with sword intent didn’t have effects either. The lich king unexpectedly turned into fog and let the Aria of the Goddess of Light pass through.

_Fog transformation? No, this enemy is actually a specter-like existence!_

Long Haochen was greatly startled, and almost unconsciously made an instant reaction. A strong multicolored golden light was abruptly shot from the Divine Snail Shield, to land onto the fog issued from the lich king.

Immediately, a mournful scream was heard. The purplish black fog streaked over a thousand meters away at rapid speed, before retransforming into the lich king’s looks. But her body was clearly unstable floating in the sky, visibly wounded.

As a divine tool transformed from a Starlight Divine Beast, the shield held the purest light attribute. Indeed, without a physical body, the lich king is immune to any physical attack, but the illumination of holy light can wound her. But it requires it to reach a sufficient level of power of course. And the Divine Snail Shield had such an ability.

An intense multicolored golden light travelled through the sky, as Long Haochen finally loosened his breath. Having finally wounded the enemy, he didn’t chase further: the most important thing was to protect Haoyue.

“Looks like I was really underestimating you.” The lich king’s voice was even colder, and this coldness contained an extreme rage.

She was far from using her full power to handle Long Haochen, because of sensing the huge gap separating the enemies and herself. She wanted to keep the most power possible to deal with Haoyue; there’s no way Austin Griffin would be so easy to destroy.

Having already grown his sixth head, even an existence such as the lich king didn’t have an absolute certainty in front of him. But she didn’t expect Long Haochen to actually be so hard to cope with. Being blessed with a spiritual energy of extreme purity and a divine tool such as the Divine Snail Shield, he really managed to hold up the lich king.

At the current time, Haoyue’s purple hexagon started to darken in the sky. His body becoming glittering. One could see his current self to be closer to a giant dragon, instead of a lizard. The six heads looked much closer to dragon heads as well, and he had gained wings similar to a dragons’. His aura also became much more dignified. This evolution was about to complete before long.

Even a powerhouse whose cultivation reaches such a degree as the lich king had, had a great rancor toward Haoyue, and couldn’t help but feel nervous due to that. Having previously experienced the overwhelming battle from that time, she understood the terrifying nature of Austin Griffin the best.

They couldn’t let him escape once again after evolving successfully. Otherwise, there’s no way to know whether they’ll be able to take care of him the next time.

Reaching this point of thought, the lich king let out a screech after looking up, and, immediately, countless balls of light of over one meter diameter each appeared, just like a purple rain of meteors, shooting towards the direction of Long Haochen’s group, including Haoyue and his purple hexagon.

The lich king pointed her staff forward as she chanted continuous raging incantations. In the sky started to appear series of cracks, while a black fog rose all around her.

One could see that after that ascension of purplish black fog, the aura coming out from the lich king became extremely weak. She was indeed wounded by the previous burst of multicolor golden light, having looked down too much on Long Haochen, underrating this god’s chosen one. At this very moment, the lich king came out with her true full strength.

Long Haochen didn’t dare show carelessness. Flying backwards with his comrades at great speed, he got right before Haoyue. Being a single individual, he couldn’t attend to caring for the purple hexagon in the sky, and could only focus on defending Haoyue.

The multicolor golden light once again blossomed, as Shield Wall reconstructed. In the meantime, Long Haochen chanted an incantation alongside Yating. It was for Light Reflection.
