As the bluish-gold and gray light rays dispersed, the aerial forces of the two sides dispersed at great speed, as if struck by a typhoon, and landed on the ground. No one dared remain in the sky. If their movements were just a bit late, they would sustain the shock from that monstrous airflow spreading violently in the sky.

The clash between the two commanders caused an earth shattering impact, which is also why they wouldn’t lightly intervene. If the ravages from a battle between them spread to the armies fighting below, the destruction that would be caused would be no joke.

But to the surprise of all watching, at the moment the dual colored light rays came into contact with the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, it dispersed without a sound, not affected in the least.

_What is happening?_ This was the thought all the powerhouses present shared! Right, how could the aftermath from the clash between the two commanders-in-chief be stopped like that? Although it had weakened with time, even the powerhouses of the eighth step fled from it immediately! Yet that rainbow-colored light stopped it just like that.

The seven-colored light was starting to weaken, vanishing gradually, but only bones were left of those two Fiend Commanders, and even those bones started reducing to ashes.

This wasn’t an instant kill, but appeared even more terrifying than an instant kill in the demons’ eyes. Although the two Fiend Commander brothers uniting hands weren’t at the level of a true powerhouse of the ninth step, their full-power attack already reached this level. Yet they died like that, without any way to hit back, and unable to even struggle against the opponent.

Han Yu, who was originally prepared to make his move, floated at Long Haochen’s side with a blank face, completely speechless for a moment. historical

_Is that the true might of the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon?_ Originally, when Long Haochen obtained this shield from the Starlight Divine Beast, Han Yu was also at his side, and therefore understood the origin of this item well. But did this bright seven-colored light really come out from a piece of epic equipment? The epic tier really is too strong!

The bright seven-colored light finally disappeared, and all that was left was Long Haochen and Han Yu, as well as the magical crystals from the two Fiends of the eighth step.

A strange silence followed, spreading to the whole battlefield. It didn’t persist for too long, and about ten seconds later, loud cheers broke out on the side of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. They had personally witnessed a miracle, the power of their own powerhouses.

Could anyone else than a Divine Knight be stronger than this Gold Essence Foundation Knight?

“The Knight Temple is invincible!” In the midst of these cheers, every knight seemed to have gained in vigor, frantically charging against the Demonic Knights and Demonic Bears.

The Airborne Knight Regiment also rallied, taking the initiative to attack the aerial enemies.

Without a doubt, the drive of the Knight Temple had risen to its peak.

As their commander, how could Long Tianying let such a good opportunity go by? He immediately gave the order to launch the counterattack.

All of the ninth-step powerhouses from the Knight Temple rose to the sky, placing an insurmountable pressure on the enemies that they slowly approached.

“Retreat.” Saminaga gave this order with a cold look, lifting up his right hand.

An intense glow spread out from the eight demon gods, and their eight demon god pillars started to glint, enveloping the demon armies in their range, in order to bring them back to their camps.

“Boss, what’s happening?” Han Yu asked Long Haochen in a low voice.

Long Haochen shook his head with a bitter smile, “I don’t know either. It seems that the red skull we encountered previously infuriated the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon, which led to this. It acted totally by itself. There’s no way I could have such a powerful ability at my disposal! Luckily, I had the Gold Essence Foundation Armor, since that move used over 50,000 of my spiritual energy. Yet, I felt that the bright seven-colored light from before had yet to display its true might, as if restricted somehow.”

Han Yu became silent. _If it is so powerful when restricted, I don’t dare imagine what could be its true power._

Long Haochen didn’t know, and Han Yu didn’t either. But on the other side, the Demon God of Death Saminaga gave an answer.

“A divine tool. The Knight Temple actually had such a divine tool in reserve.”

The same answer came to Long Tianying’s mind. _That shield must be a divine tool. When did Haochen get such a shield?_ In fact, the Divine Thrones were the Knight Temple’s divine artifacts, yet even amongst them, there never appeared a divine tool ranked shield! And this shield was not as simple as a defensive-only item. Just what could that bright seven-colored light from before be?

Even Long Tianying and Saminaga didn’t have the confidence that they could remain unscathed in that light.

Divine tools have always been the most unpredictable weapons. That’s because the power of a divine tool is like a part of a god’s power. Different divine tools would absolutely be completely different. And amongst divine tools, the most feared kind is those that can unleash an absolute power. And who knew what ability Long Haochen’s shield could have?

With the disappearance of the bright seven-colored light, Long Haochen and Han Yu’s spiritual energy returned to a liquid state. The process of this transformation was slow. In fact, if they wanted to use Spiritual Highland in battle, they could at least keep their spiritual energy in this state for ten minutes.

The spiritual energy belonging to Long Haochen that changed into this form didn’t include the part coming from the Gold Essence Foundation Armor. This feature seemed like the amplification of ability that Star King gives him, while being not totally the same. That’s because having the spiritual energy in one’s body be in Spiritual Highland state makes it a lot easier to control, and inevitably a lot more powerful. That’s the true meaning of reaching the ninth step for a powerhouse.

With this time’s transformation, Long Haochen and Han Yu gained in comprehension regarding Spiritual Highland.

Long Haochen didn’t release his spiritual wings. Getting hold of Han Yu’s shoulder with his right hand, Haochen borrowed his help to return to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Once back, Han Yu turned back to look at Long Haochen, face to face. The two of them had astonished expressions.

Although their first battle back together took only an instant to finish, they still eventually got to fight together! This was already sufficient.

“Captain, I already heard the news. The Temple Head decided to have us gather ten million contribution points before letting our team re-form.”

,

Long Haochen nodded to him with a smile on his face, “Yeah! We will slowly gather these ten million points. In a year, at most two, as long as this Holy War goes on, we can certainly obtain them.

“Certainly! Right, Captain, I have things for you from Lin Xin. And, I have gotten news from everyone.”

Hearing his last sentence, Long Haochen immediately looked interested, “Is everyone well?”

Han Yu nodded with a smile on his face, “Our 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad is divided, but we won’t die so easily. Now, everyone is actively participating in the Holy War with their own temples. From what I heard, Yuanyuan has already amassed enough contributions to be a regimental commander. And Sima is about the same. Only Cai’er seems to not be participating actively, training secretly in the Assassin Temple instead.”

Hearing from Han Yu about the others’ safety, Long Haochen relaxed enormously. This was what he most wanted to know. This piece of news gave him an increased confidence and motivation to complete that mission of gathering ten million contribution points.

“The most important is that everyone is safe and sound.”

Han Yu continued, “Captain, after we are back, I will hand you the pills Lin Xin prepared. It includes Forest Boa Training Pills and other kinds of medicine.”

Long Haochen shook his head with a smiling expression, “I have no need for these, just keep it for your own. Forest Boa Training Pills are certainly good things, but my external spiritual energy is already at a bottleneck. If I cannot increase my internal spiritual energy further, my external spiritual energy won’t be able to keep progressing.”

The period of deep meditation brought Long Haochen much understanding. His external spiritual energy was indeed much more powerful than the others, mainly because of his constitution as a god’s chosen one and the benefits brought by Haoyue. Forest Boa Training Pills were appreciably potent, but wouldn’t be able to compare with the amplification brought by Haoyue. Moreover, Long Haochen didn’t want to keep relying on pills to progress.

Coordinating the progress of his internal and his external spiritual energy was his current priority. In other words, he was unwilling to produce too huge a gap between them. Besides, now that he reached the eighth step, the priority became to train his internal spiritual energy, which would automatically get cleansed through his spiritual cavities. Long Haochen didn’t have any need to worry about his spiritual energy’s impurities affecting his body, and just needed to continuously cultivate.

Under these circumstances, pills would indeed not be of much use to him. His current priorities were set in training and in amassing points.

Han Yu didn’t insist. This place being the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, he had to wait for when they return to persuade him.

The demon armies having retreated like a tide, only corpses from their deceased remained, as they escaped through the gap created by the demon gods.

This battle went for about two hours, and therefore, large quantities of corpses were left on the battlefield. On the side of the Knight Temple, the order to clean the battlefield was immediately given. It wasn’t about burying the corpses, but bringing as many as possible back to their base in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

The corpses in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass were mainly demons. After bringing them back, their magical crystals will be extracted, and then the useable parts will be kept, and the useless ones burnt.

This was inevitable. If the demons had a sufficient advantage, they would be the ones to bring these corpses back, but only to use them as food. As long as they retained a sufficient food supply, their races with good resistance to cold would be able to continue fighting. Although their numbers kept going down, the Knight Temple’s losses were also astonishing! Letting these losses continue would only mean a diminishment of the Six Great Temples’ future.
