Chapter 719: Long Haochen's chance encounter (I)
When two hours had passed, Qiu Yonghao finally let out a deep sigh, retiring alongside his two mates. A powerful surge of power was expelled from the Saint Bead, pushing them to the edge of the stadium. The Warrior Temple's situation was now irreversible. So far, they had fewer than thirty points in total.
Qiu Yonghao's unsightly complexion reached almost the point of bleeding. He did not keep watching, turning around to leave the stadium, heading back to sulk in his terrace.
With one less competitor, the clashes inside the Saint Bead not only did not reduce, but instead became even more frantic.
In particular, after the Mage Temple's domain gradually united, its power expanded more and more, with the fusion of wind, darkness and earth. Their domain was like magic, and the overlaid boosts on it looked no weaker than the Knight Temple. It was because of their increasingly domineering performance that the Warrior Temple was forced to back down.
The Assassin and Spiritual Temple were approaching a crisis, shaking violently on every one of their clashes with the Knight Temple or Mage Temple's domain, sustaining heavy shaking.
Bright Glimmer of Hope's side was better off. The three of them kept their domain stabilized, contributing under Long Haochen's guidance to their own part. Although Chen Ying'er had a large consumption, their situation was rather good still.
After the Warrior Temple fell down, the Priest Temple became the most endangered side. They were neither expert in attacking nor defending, and although the three great domain wielding powerhouses under elder Ling's lead were coordinating pretty well, they were unable to come up with effective countermeasures to the repeated clashes, and thus naturally had their consumptions going faster than the other Temples. Right now, the three priests had very unsightly looks on their faces, looking about to possibly retire from the competition at any time now.
Now that it was midday, Long Haochen who had been staying calm so far along suddenly lifted his head slowly, with his eyes flashing with an especially clear brilliance.
The instant his head was lifted, his momentum first affected Yang Haoyu and Li Zhengzhi, whose cultivations were the highest out of everyone present, and were the ones following Long Haochen with the most attention.
Catching sight of Haochen's glistening eyes, Yang Haoyu felt a chill. They both understood that something was going to happen.
Just as expected, Long Haochen's next action shocked all the domain wielding powerhouses present, even including Chen Zidian who almost lost his voice in alarm.
A drizzling brilliance flared out from the chaotic domain of Long Haochen's group of three.
This golden light was characteristic of Long Haochen's Light God Domain, and it had a congealed white color on its outer part.
Is he going mad?
In the seven parties' domain clashes, each parties were to stabilize their domains' union, strongly defending their positions, while doing their utmost to avoid excessive consumption.
But right now, Long Haochen was unexpectedly spreading out his domain within the Saint Bead. Although it looked as though his domain was integrating Cai'er's domain well, even this way his unleashed domain would become a public target of all the Temples' attacks: It would very possibly lead next to their elimination.
But a scene that shocked everyone present followed. After the Five Great Temples' union domains clashed with this golden white radiance, they were expelled. This radiance contained very special fluctuations of spiritual energy. That seemed to be a paramount existence, in front of which the colliding domain felt as if encountering a totally red-hot piece of metal in the midst of melting. So the powerhouses from the other five Temples had no other choice but to contract their domains, so as to avoid further collision.
Were they using magic fusion? Li Zhengzhi was astonished: he did not expect the fusion of Long Haochen and Cai'er's domain to actually show such a powerful might.
But, in reality, the domains' influence was mainly exerted from Long Haochen and Cai'er's domain union. Only Bright Glimmer of Hope knew about the associated level of amplification.
Long Haochen and Cai'er's domains were already at a very high level; the Light God Domain's incomparable purity could be called number one of the whole continent with no hesitation, whilst Cai'er's Domain of Purification had the power of purifying all negative things, especially the powers of darkness and death.
When the purest Light God Domain encountered the most purifying Domain of Purification, a mystic change was produced. Its light received a reaction of fondness from the purifying energy, just like the love between Long Haochen and Cai'er, devoid of any estrangement. After the two parties' mutual integration, it became a domain of divine light of purification, boosting the purifying force with light's amplification to make it reach an astonishing level. This instant, it actually managed to suppress the attacks of all five other united domains.
Of course, in this state of union, Long Haochen and Cai'er's consumption went up severalfold, and increased the stronger the other domains' attacks were.
After a short time of shock, Li Zhengzhi couldn't help but purse his eyebrows. Despite the short time he had dealings with Long Haochen, he had a good understanding of his character. To his knowledge, despite his young age, he showed a far steadier character than his contemporaries, and wouldn't make any move without an aim. His sudden expansion of the domain surely had some basis. But, what could he be planning? Such a large expansion was an easy thing to accomplish, but hard to undo. Even they shouldn't find it easy to withdraw it after such an expansion.
Very rapidly, a reply came from him. After shaking the other domains, the Light God Purification Domain's purifying white suddenly disappeared. In other words, only Long Haochen's Light God Domain remained. So this way, in the next encounter he would have to resist over ten other powerhouses' domains on his own.
But a shocking scene took place this instant.
Those golden light rays suddenly retracted, and Long Haochen suddenly exerted a forceful control of his Light God Domain. The others were unable to exert control within the Saint Bead, but he managed it. His Light God Domain was compressed like a golden rope, and lightly connected with the Priest Temple's united domain which looked like it could quit at any time now.
The instant the two domains made contact, the Priest Temple's three powerhouses had looks of unbelief. Immediately, the three domains were unable to keep control, and joined the side of Long Haochen's three. These three priests' domain union was compressed in a flash, blending within Long Haochen's Light God Domain.
This...
The emergence of this scene left the three powerful knights of the Knight Temple full of disbelief. Who could have thought that Long Haochen would make such a shocking move to forcefully integrate the Priest Temple's three powerhouses' domain within his own? This way, his domain incorporated six domains' strength!
Don't think the Knight Temple and Mage Temple are invincible because of their powerful displays. They were in the end only three people. Long Haochen's side had integrated the three priests' domains, thus causing a sharp increase of its power, completely surpassing the Knight Temple and Mage Temple's two sides.
The three priests immediately understood the situation after a short period of shock. Furthermore, while under the Light God Domain's wrapping, their domain benefited from a mutual integration of higher perfection. And after the three priests got a clear feel of their domain within the Light God Domain, they felt it become more and more pure.
This gave them a wide joy. They realized this time the extent of the Long Haochen's domain. Perhaps his cultivation was still lacking, but his domain's grade was perhaps unmatched within the whole Alliance.
The three priests very rapidly steadied their feelings, and elder Ling even had a thin smile on his face. He vaguely guessed that Long Haochen was exchanging gifts! The favor of letting them have the qualifications to enter the Illusory Shrine of back then, this youngster was now repaying it.
Amidst the Temple's Great Gathering, even after so many rounds, there had yet to be such a situation where two Temples' united domains joined together. Not due to unwillingness, but lack of capability.
Long Haochen's conduct looked simple, but actually, this was something even the number one powerhouse of the Alliance, Yang Haoyu, was not able to reproduce.
Controlling one's domain within the Saint Bead was just far, far too hard. The factors of Long Haochen's success were, for one, the assistance of Cai'er's Domain of Purification, but also because of his domain's high grade, and his own high mental force. But even so, he had to first deploy the domain to a high enough scale, before retracting it back. A great trick was used up in the midst of the later process: when compressing it back, he had to create a connection with the Priest Temple's side, to compress theirs as well. Relatively speaking, this wasn't too difficult with control, but wasn't doable by any other Temple's domains.
Moreover, and more importantly, Long Haochen's Light God Domain was able to instantly achieve assimilation and fusion with the Priest Temple's domain.
Under the Light God Domain's gentle domination, the priests' domain did not show any resistance. Even these three Priest Temple powerhouses were pulled to Long Haochen's side due to the domain's attraction.
Just by relying on these two things, Long Haochen managed to gain the use of the Priest Temple's three great domains.
