Chapter 284: Pitfall of the Seventh Rank (1) | Throne Of Seal [Trans]
Throne Of Seal [Trans] - Updated on March 15, 2025
A vast amount of healing light sprinkled through the air. The collective healing from the priests greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers defending Zhennan Pass, who had been struggling. For a time, the demons could no longer advance.
“Boss, let’s charge!” Having suddenly lost his opponents, Sima Xian’s bloodthirsty eyes revealed intense unwillingness.
After a moment of thought, Long Haochen said, “Advance thirty meters. Wedge formation.” As he spoke, he once again released the Glorious Holy Shield and led his companions forward.
They could retreat back at any time from thirty meters. Although the situation on the battlefield had changed to some extent, the demons’ offensive was still fierce. Since they had entered the battlefield, they had to ease the burden on their allies. Advancing thirty meters would make them a target, but it would also attract the demons to attack, naturally reducing the pressure on their allies.
The thirteen people, like a sharp blade, charged forward along the wide street. Sima Xian was on Long Haochen’s right, and his Light Grenade became the most effective weapon for offense. Its powerful attack paved the way with overwhelming force, and low-level demons could not stop them at all.
Long Haochen also took this opportunity to release the Spirit Gathering Halo to help his companions recover their spiritual energy. The combat power of the thirteen people exploded completely as they charged into the demon ranks.
Han Yu, at the rear, was very steady, relying on Light Reflection and the Light Punishment Long Haochen gave him, integrating offense and defense, and focusing his main energy on defense. He protected the rear very steadily. At this time, because of Lu Xi, the genuine priest, he did not need to worry about healing. In fact, now Lu Xi only needed to cast a few buff spells; he didn’t need to do any healing.
Long Haochen’s charge immediately met with a strong counterattack from the demons. The death of the Demon Lord certainly shocked the demon army, but at the same time, Long Haochen and his team also attracted the attention of the demon army.
Several sixth- and seventh-tier demon powerhouses charged towards them, standing with Long Haochen and his team.
Long Haochen stopped after only advancing thirty meters. As the core of the team, he needed to pay attention to the overall battlefield situation. He used the Glorious Holy Shield to block and parry, and with the Holy Attraction Spiritual Stove, he drew the strongest enemies to himself. With his solid defense, he didn’t give them a chance to threaten his companions.
Whether it was the 21st or 22nd General-level Demon Hunter Team, both teams had experienced life and death in the encirclement of the demon army. Therefore, their cooperation was quite tacit. More importantly, there was only one voice in these two teams, and that was Long Haochen. Every command from Long Haochen was carried out immediately. The thirteen people were integrated, and no matter how the demon army charged, they could still stand firm thirty meters deep in the enemy’s battle formation.
Boom—Three dark purple rays of light struck Long Haochen’s Glorious Holy Shield, shattering the Holy Shield Technique. Long Haochen also retreated slightly. Not far away, three particularly tall Demon Eye Sorcerers focused their fire on him.
Because of the impact of a large number of demon troops, these Demon Eye Sorcerers didn’t need to worry about Long Haochen’s attacks threatening them. They all had ten eyes on their heads, and their cultivation levels were all at the early sixth tier.
In front of Long Haochen, there was also a powerful sixth-tier demon, the Golden Dual Blade Demon. In theory, the strength of the Golden Dual Blade Demon was far inferior to that of the Demon Lord, but its speed was faster, and it was extremely cunning. Once caught by Long Haochen’s Holy Attraction Spiritual Stove, it would immediately turn around and retreat, not giving Long Haochen and his team a chance to attack it in a concentrated manner. Long Haochen couldn’t do much about it without being able to advance rashly.
In addition to the Golden Dual Blade Demon, Long Haochen also faced a greater threat, which came from the air: a particularly huge Two-Headed Demon Vulture, constantly diving down towards him, pouring down dark and fire dual-element magic.
Long Haochen had to devote most of his energy to the Two-Headed Demon Vulture. Whenever the Two-Headed Demon Vulture launched an attack, he had to use the Holy Attraction Spiritual Stove to guide the Two-Headed Demon Vulture’s attack to himself as quickly as possible.
In this way, he alone had to withstand the collective attack of a seventh-tier and four sixth-tier demon powerhouses. Even with Long Haochen’s strength, it was difficult to support.
However, it was precisely under this powerful pressure that Long Haochen showed extraordinary strength. In the eyes of his companions, he was like an indestructible fortress, standing firm no matter how the enemy charged.
Long Haochen pushed the defensive power of the Glorious Holy Shield and Glorious Holy Armor to the extreme. Sometimes, when the shield was too late to defend, he would use his body to resist the enemy’s attacks. The two sixth-tier defensive skills attached to the equipment played a great role, allowing him to stand firm and not retreat even half a step.
Long Haochen’s reaction was honed in the Ant-Lion Nest. Therefore, even if the crisis was near, he could respond accordingly. He was like a ball of golden light and shadow, moving within a small range, but bearing all the attacks of the strongest enemies.
Of course, if it were just him alone, he would still be unable to withstand so many powerful attacks. Behind him, there was also strong support from his companions. Haoyue’s three heads worked together. Little Fire and Little Green were responsible for attacking the particularly powerful Two-Headed Demon Vulture in the air, preventing it from attacking Long Haochen with all its might. Little Light continuously placed buff spells and defensive shields on Long Haochen.
In addition to Haoyue, there was also Ya Ting’s powerful auxiliary ability.
It should be known that although Long Haochen’s Glorious Set had the Glorious skill to save spiritual energy, Long Haochen was almost constantly using the Holy Shield Technique and Holy Spirit Guard. His total amount of spiritual energy was only 4,000, but it was as if he would never run out. He cast one powerful skill after another, but he never showed signs of running out of strength.

Moreover, because of Ya Ting, Long Haochen’s ordinary attacks often turned into Holy Sword and Radiant Sun Slash, which were powerful attacks. He was not only defending against the five major powerhouses, but also occasionally killing some middle- and low-level demons.
Lu Xi had already begun to cast healing magic in the rear, mainly on the members of their 22nd General-level Demon Hunter Team. This was by no means because he was biased, but because the seven members of the 21st General-level Demon Hunter Team had not been injured at all. Even if someone was attacked, it was shared by the seven members through the Soul Chain Life Sharing. As long as Long Haochen, the anchor, was not shaken, it was almost impossible for the enemy to truly injure their team.
Han Yu’s performance in the rear was also commendable. The Light Reflection and Light Punishment were quite powerful, and the two Glorious-level equipment gave him wings. Even a sixth-tier enemy could be temporarily blocked. After all, he was a pure Guardian Knight. Apart from cultivation and skills not being as good as Long Haochen, he was not much weaker than Long Haochen in other areas.
The city of Zhennan Pass was very large. Because of the demon invasion, the battlefield could be said to be everywhere. Long Haochen’s position was in the central area of the city. In a short while, their movements attracted the attention of friendly forces.
The strongest demon in this battle was the seventh tier. Similarly, on the human side, the strongest was only the seventh tier. It was unknown whether the eighth-tier and above powerhouses had all discussed it, but they did not appear in the street fighting. Of course, everyone knew that those who could reach the eighth-tier cultivation level were desperately fighting in the high sky. The battle there was more critical. Whichever side gained an absolute advantage in the air would mean the end of this war.
Since the strongest enemies in the street fighting were only seventh-tier, most of the battles took place between powerhouses from the third to the seventh tier. Long Haochen and his team had successively solved several sixth-tier and above demons, so how could they not attract attention? What’s more, they were now attracting five sixth-tier and above demon powerhouses.
What a powerful Demon Hunter Team! Are they Commander-level? Many people had doubts in their hearts. However, if they were a Commander-level Demon Hunter Team, why didn’t anyone use Spiritual Energy Transformation Wings?
Long Haochen naturally didn’t know the friendly forces’ feelings about them. At this time, the pressure he was under was quite huge. Under the pressure, his own potential was squeezed out bit by bit, but his own spiritual energy consumption was also very huge.
This situation had to be changed, otherwise, if it continued, his spiritual energy would be exhausted sooner or later.
Retreat? Retreating would definitely reduce the pressure. However, if they retreated like this, wouldn’t all their previous efforts be in vain? The pressure on the friendly forces would increase again. If there were fewer enemies, it would be better.
Although the Two-Headed Demon Vulture in the air was annoying, there was only one after all. If Long Haochen could concentrate on dealing with it, even if he couldn’t shoot it down, he could at least ensure that the team members would not be attacked by it. But the most annoying thing was the three ten-eyed Demon Eye Sorcerers in the distance. Their attack power was extremely strong. The combined attack of the three Demon Eye Sorcerers could break Long Haochen’s Holy Shield Technique once, and it had to be combined with Divine Domain Block to barely block it, which made Long Haochen more and more difficult to cope with.
Although Wang Yuanyuan and Sima Xian wanted to rush out, if they really rushed over with their strength, even if they could injure those Demon Eye Sorcerers, they probably wouldn’t be able to come back alive. Therefore, Long Haochen issued a strict order that no one could leave the formation. Only by maintaining the wedge formation could they withstand the heavy pressure from the demons.
What to do? Just give up the previous efforts?
Just then, the pressure suddenly decreased greatly. In the sky, five figures suddenly descended like lightning, their target pointing to the location of the three Demon Eye Sorcerers.
