Shen Yin Wang Zuo-Chapter 840: Fighting the Demon God Emperor (II)

The huge, golden sword shone with eight-coloured light. Its aura was no weaker than the Sword of Eternity. With the two swords in hand, Long Haochen’s aura rose once more. His domain clashed with the Demon God Emperor’s.

As translucent, white domain and the dark golden domain clashed together, Long Haochen shuddered slightly, while the Demon God Emperor floated in the air without moving.

The clash of their domains produced an ear-piercing rubbing sound as sparks flew when they made contact. Looking from below, black and white light flashed in an alternating manner, like day and night constantly replaced each other.

Whether it was Long Haochen or the Demon God Emperor, their auras rose at a shocking rate. The struggle between the domains was only the beginning to their decisive battle. It remained like that if they stayed where they were, but if they did move, it definitely would have been utterly devastating.

Just as Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor faced each other, the battle before the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass reached a white-hot intensity.

The Bright Glimmer of Hope demonstrated their great battle prowess to the powerhouses of the union once again.

After the test of the Great Temples’ Gathering and the baptism in the world of black and red, everyone from the Bright Glimmer of Hope had improved by different amounts recently. Particularly after receiving the guidance of the Eternal Heroes, both their control and person cultivation had increased noticeably.

Before the vice chairwoman of the Temple Union, the head of the Warrior Temple, the Bloodthirsty Wargoddess Wang Yuanyuan was the Force Demon God Barbatos who ranked eighth.

Although Barbatos was called the Fore Demon God, he wore a green hat and a grey cloak like a bowman. He carried a long, dark golden bow in his hand. With every arrow he launched, it would strike Wang Yuanyuan in the form of a magical beast. His attacks were extremely powerful.

Wang Yuanyuan did not show any weakness on the other hand. She wielded the Gigantic Divine Soul Shield in her left hand and the Bloodstorm in her right while she was covered by the Blood Domain. She seemed like a huntsman under the dense, bloody killing intent. She constantly pursued Barbatos and killed the magical beasts he shot out one by one. She even seemed to have gained the upper hand slightly.

However, only Wang Yuanyuan herself knew whether she had an advantage or not. Her cultivation was still at the third rank of the ninth step, while her opponent had reached the fifth rank. Barbatos was clearly holding back. He did not borrow a lot of power from his demon god pillar either. As he fought against her, he constantly shot arrows in other directions. Although he ran about, he was actually at great ease.

Wang Yuanyuan did not seem to understand this, continuing to follow Barbatos around. However, she never launched a ranged attack. It seemed like she only wanted to keep Barbatos busy.

Compared to Wang Yuanyuan, Chen Ying’er was much more proactive. Her opponent was the Demon God of Wisdom Gusion. He ranked eleventh among the demon gods and was a demon god that purple used magic. He had attained great master in darkness magic, such that it was almost neverending.

However, he had used his demon god transformation against Chen Ying’er and only then did he barely manage to deal with her attacks.

Chen Ying’er wore the Spiritual Saint Robe as she stood in the air boldly. There was not a single enemy within several hundred meters of her, because a total of six, huge dragons surrounded her.

They were not earth dragons, but real, gigantic dragons.

There was a fire dragon that spat wire, an ice dragon that spat frost, an earth dragon that shone with the lustre of diamonds, a smaller green dragon that was surrounded by winds, a purplish black darkness dragon and a light dragon shining with golden light.

These dragons had come close to extinction a long time ago, yet Chen Ying’er had actually managed to summon six of them. Her Beast God Domain provided them with an almost perfect boost, while she herself rode McDull who had turned into a four-headed chimera, taking on the Demon God of Wisdom. Gusion did not lose the upper hand in that battle either, having undergone the demon god transformation.

Aside from Long Haochen and Cai’er, the person who had improved the most within the Bright Glimmer of Hope was Chen Ying’er. As the Spiritual Saint Girl, she received special care from a few summoners amon the Eternal Heroes. She gained a completely new understanding of her Spiritual Bestowal ability. At the same time, she was able to manipulate the tremendous spiritual energy within the Spiritual Saint Robe with much better proficiency as her own. Not only did she summon six gigantic dragons right now, she had opened the thirty-six Creature Summoning Gates over the walls of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. The thirty-six summoned beasts of the ninth step took up a certain area on the battlefield, keeping four Devil Dragon groups busy. They played a huge role on the battlefield.

In terms of overall strength, Chen Ying’er might not have been as great as Cai’er, but she was extremely close. The advantage that summoners possessed went without saying.

In individual battles, summoners required time to perform summoners, so they did not possess a particularly large advantage. However, on the battlefield, she would obviously have enough time to unleash her full strength under the protection of many companions. As the Saint Spiritual Girl chosen by the Beast God, she demonstrated her extraordinary abilities.

Lin Xin’s opponent was the demon god who ranked ninth, the Angel Demon God Paimon. Paimon flapped his six black wings as he fought against Lin Xin. The clash was completely based on magic.

If he was just a regular fire mage, he definitely would suffer at the hands of this demon mage of darkness. However, Lin Xin used the Heart of Fire, so his element was on the same level as his opponent. Coupled with the boost from his two immortal grade equipment and his personal domain techniques, he matched the Angel Demon God evenly. However, Paimon did not seem to be using his full strength. At least, he had yet to use the demon god transformation.

Sima Xian’s opponent was the tenth demon god Buer, who was known as the Lightning Demon God. He seemed to be half-human, half-praying mantis. He was completely dark green and seemed a little like a shrunken green Dual Bladed Demon. His attacks were extremely fierce and fast as lightning. Sima Xian was barely able to maneuver about against him using the size of the Gigantic Ball of Lightning, but he had completely lost the upper hand. If it were not for the power of his domain and the might of the Spiritual Stove of Godly Purple Thunder, he really would have struggled against the demon god.

Han Yu and Zhang Fangfang’s situations were slightly better. They were both divine knights. After Long Haochen had drawn the Demon God Emperor away, the five divine knights all entered the battlefield. Aside from Long Xingyu who fought against Amon, the other divine knights fought demon gods beyond the fifteenth rank, so it was much easier for them.

Cai’er faced against three demon gods alone. Under the support of the twelve holy guards, she was actually able to claim the upperhand somewhat.

The three demon gods surrounded by her were the twelfth demon god, the Demon God of Emotion Sytry, the thirteenth demon god, the Sound Demon God Beleth and the fifteenth demon god, the Snake Spear Demon God Eligos.

The reason why she had chosen these three demon gods was because the Demon God of Emotions Sytry and the Sound Demon God Beleth were both skilled in large scale attacks, boosts and jinxes. If they were allowed to act freely, they would definitely make the entire situation worse. As for the Snake Spear Demon God Eligos, he was extremely powerful and skilled in using snake venom. Fighting all three at once, Cai’er actually managed to suppress the demon gods to a point where they could not divert their attention elsewhere under the support of the twelve holy guards, the Tower of Eternity and the Sickle of the God of Death. The Snake Spear Demon God had even used his demon god transformation. Although Sytry and Beleth held back, they were clearly waiting for a good opportunity to use it.

Overall, the Bright Glimmer of Hope was slightly weaker than the demon gods they faced, but the difference was not particularly large. Coupled with how most of the demon gods were not using their full strength, they could maintain a balance.

It was nothing strange that the demon gods did not use their full strength. This was a battlefield, not individual battles. To these high-ranking demons, protecting their own lives mattered more than killing their opponents. While the demons did possess an advantage in overall strength, they were forced to watch out for the magic cannons that constantly blasted out with light, so they obviously needed to hold back.

The Eternal Heroes played a great role on the battlefield as well. Over thirty domain wielding powerhouses had basically stopped a third of the demons’ forces. Apart from the Bright Glimmer of Hope and Long Xingyu, the other demon gods were stopped by them, allowing the divine knights to free up and deal with the Devil Dragon squads.

Killing demon gods was difficult, but dealing with the other demons was much easier. With the addition of the Eternal Heroes, the demons still outnumbered the humans in terms of powerhouses, but the humans had an advantage in terms of quality.

However, no matter how intense the battle became, both sides would constantly gaze up. The battle between Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor would be the most important factor that controlled the entire battlefield.

The demons were all waiting for the Demon God Emperor to kill Long Haochen and return. Once that happened, the humans would not be able to put up much resistance. While the powerhouses of the Temple Union were not hoping for Long Haochen to defeat the Demon God Emperor, they did hope he could stop the Demon God Emperor. With the might of the magic cannons, the more drawn out the battle became, the greater role these powerful weapons would play. They were not particularly effective against ninth step powerhouses, but they were more than enough to deal with the eighth step demons. The demon cannons powered by demon god crowns in particular possessed unmatched might. Their constant firing added quite a lot of pressure to the demons.

Besides Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor’s battle, the most eye-catching battlefield was obviously where the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God resided. As the demon gods that ranked second and third, their strength was evident.

However, their opponents were not weak. As leaders of the Eternal Heroes and the first temple heads, Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao’s strength went without saying, and they possessed rich battle experience as well. This was why they were evenly matched against the two demon gods.

Casualties and injuries constantly appeared, but it primarily appeared among the seventh or eighth step powerhouses. In just a short while, over a dozen of the one hundred and eight Mythril Foundation Knights had died. The Mage Temple and Assassin Temple had lost many powerhouses as well.
