“Hearing Long Haochen’s words, Crocell raised his eyebrows, but instead smiled, “A small eighth-level knight, also trying to challenge the majesty of a ninth-level? I know what you’re thinking, I don’t have the assistance of the Demon God Pillar here, right? But even without the Demon God Pillar, how could you possibly be my opponent? Subjugation or death, you only have one choice.”

As he spoke, Crocell suddenly raised his right-hand longsword, and a jet-black light blade shot towards Long Haochen.

This light blade wasn’t very fast, but the moment it was unleashed, Long Haochen felt completely locked on by Crocell, and no matter which direction he dodged, he wouldn’t be able to avoid this strike.

Crocell’s eyes had turned dark blue; the Insight Demon God was more than just a title. During battle, his insight could also play a crucial role, even anticipating the enemy’s next move and judging their next action. In this situation, his attack would definitely produce the maximum effect.

None of the seventy-two Demon God Pillars of the Demon Race were simple. Whether in strength or wisdom, that was the case.

Crocell’s strike was meant to intimidate, but also to test. He couldn’t figure out the extent of Long Haochen’s cultivation.

Long Haochen took half a step back, and as his body suddenly solidified, he made a movement like drawing a longbow, holding the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield in both hands.

“Clang—” A clear hum echoed violently in the first floor of the Eternal Tower. Long Haochen’s feet slid backward against the ground, stopping only when he hit the edge of the Eternal Tower. A series of intense orange-red halos shone on the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield, and golden light flashed on Long Haochen’s body, with different colors of light causing a series of tremors in the surrounding space.

After withstanding this blow, Long Haochen’s face was filled with shock. He could feel that Crocell’s inner spiritual power was around 100,000, definitely not reaching the level of a ninth-level, second-grade. But even with this level of cultivation, he couldn’t completely block the attack with Divine Protection. Although the golden light on him earlier contained the Light of Revenge, it also contained the golden light produced by the Soul Chains and Life Sharing. In other words, Long Haochen was injured, although not severely. But with the defense of the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield and the sharing of his partners, he still suffered some slight concussive injury, which shows how powerful Crocell is.

“The light of a firefly dares to talk big to me.” Crocell pressed his advantage, and after landing a blow, he slashed another longsword towards Long Haochen, the black light rushing towards Long Haochen like lightning in the air.

His sword was not ordinary, and he was using a similar ability to Spiritual Qi. This was the judgment Long Haochen made instantly after receiving the first blow.

What he didn’t know was that among the demons, a single demon god, compared to those with a race, was far inferior in power. However, the Demon God Emperor, in order to encourage these demon gods, would often prioritize powerful equipment to them. Therefore, the combat power of single demon gods was relatively stronger.

And Crocell, the Insight Demon God, although ranked relatively low in strength among single demon gods, couldn’t have reached the forty-ninth position if his overall strength wasn’t up to par. A true ninth-level powerhouse, coupled with insight, might be able to enter the top thirty-six if he could cultivate a domain.

In this test, Long Haochen was at a disadvantage from the start.

However, as a favored one of the gods, he couldn’t be at a disadvantage forever. Seeing the opponent’s second attack arriving, Long Haochen’s body disappeared strangely. Disappeared strangely without any warning.

“Boom—” Crocell’s attack landed directly on the Eternal Tower, causing a series of buzzing sounds. He couldn’t help but be stunned. With his insight, he couldn’t see how Long Haochen left.

Of course, Long Haochen couldn’t really teleport back to the Saint Magic Continent. Teleportation through the Eternal Tower required a buffer time, and he absolutely couldn’t leave Crocell alone here. Otherwise, if Crocell were to explore the mysteries of the Eternal Tower and gain something, it would be a disaster.

With a flash of light and shadow, Long Haochen reappeared in his previous position, along with a mountain-like Haoyue, a five-headed Haoyue.

In addition to the teleportation of the Eternal Tower, Long Haochen also had the Blood Pact Teleportation from Haoyue! Fighting Crocell in this Eternal Tower, Long Haochen’s biggest advantage was that he could fully display all his abilities without any scruples. Even if he couldn’t kill Crocell, Crocell couldn’t escape the Eternal Tower either.

“Roar—” Haoyue’s five heads simultaneously let out a deafening roar, and a thick purple aura erupted from Haoyue’s body, enveloping Crocell.

Immediately, the previously arrogant and complacent Insight Demon God retreated in panic as if encountering a ghost, his face already changing color with horror.

“You, you are…, you are…” For a moment, he couldn’t even say a complete sentence.

Long Haochen, of course, knew that the other party had recognized his identity. He retracted the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield, and with a point of his right hand in front of him, a golden light separated from his body. Yating appeared smartly in front of Long Haochen, holding two heavy swords in her arms.

“Master.” Yating bowed slightly, handing the two heavy swords to Long Haochen.

Long Haochen took the Aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Light Hibiscus. Instantly, his temperament underwent earth-shattering changes, and a fierce sword intent erupted from his body without any reservation, his aura more than doubled.

“You are that human, you are that human…” Crocell retreated more than ten meters before steadying himself. His eyes were fixed on Haoyue, and fear from the depths of his blood was spreading throughout his body. For a moment, his brain was completely unable to maintain the calm it had before.

The demons of the Demon Race have also been passed down for many generations, but not all memories have been passed down. The stronger the demon god, the more perfect the inheritance of his predecessors’ memories. Therefore, the Demon God Emperor could directly call out Haoyue’s other name, but Crocell, the Insight Demon God ranked forty-ninth, couldn’t call it out. However, the instinct derived from his bloodline was still there. Although he couldn’t call out who Haoyue was, he could deeply feel the terrifying threat that Haoyue posed to him, and he was genuinely afraid because of this feeling.

The last time Long Haochen killed Qing Yaoqi Mo Xier, he had teleported to the space where Haoyue was, immediately causing Haoyue to armorize and fuse with his Adamantine Foundation War Armor. But that time, he didn’t have time to see Haoyue’s changes clearly, he just felt that Haoyue had become stronger. Looking at it again at this time, Haoyue’s length had exceeded fifteen meters. His aura had become more condensed, and faintly, a unique majesty was released from him.

In Long Haochen’s perception, Haoyue’s cultivation was still less than eighth level, inferior to him, at around the peak of seventh level. But why was it that Haoyue’s seventh-level peak aura could make even the ninth-level powerhouse, Crocell, the Insight Demon God, fear him?

Long Haochen had also tried to ask Haoyue before, but Haoyue always avoided talking about it, and sometimes even showed obvious blankness, as if he couldn’t even remember anything himself. Moreover, when he followed Long Haochen, he only had one head, and only evolved the second head with the help of Long Haochen’s blood. What could such a small Haoyue know?

In Long Haochen’s guess, what could truly pose a threat to the Demon Race was likely Haoyue’s predecessors, including those in Haoyue’s space. In other words, Haoyue’s race was very powerful and must have more room for growth in the future. That was Long Haochen’s judgment. So, it was normal for Haoyue himself not to know what his situation was.

Haoyue’s current five heads have the attributes of light, fire, wind, water, and poison respectively. Among the five big heads, Little Light is in the very middle, adjacent to it are Little Fire and Little Wind, and on the outside are Little Blue and Little Purple. The five big heads all have cold gazes on Crocell, vaguely exuding a strong aura of hatred. Just like how the demons would feel fear when they encountered Haoyue, Haoyue would also have a strong hatred when he encountered the demon gods.

Could it be natural bloodline suppression? Long Haochen didn’t understand this point either. After all, Haoyue wasn’t an existence of this space! Why did he have so much hatred for the demons? It was probably the disharmony of bloodline suppression.

At the base of Haoyue’s thick neck, there was another bulge at this time. This bulge was already very large. According to Long Haochen’s understanding of it, a bulge of this degree was likely to break out of the body at any time. In other words, Haoyue might evolve again. This might be its sixth head.

Haoyue let out another low roar. From his body, a thick fighting intent radiated. He was actually asking Long Haochen for permission to attack, wanting to directly attack Crocell.

Of course Long Haochen wouldn’t let him do that. Haoyue was only at the peak of seventh level after all. Long Haochen would feel so sorry if he was seriously injured in the enemy’s attack!

After a brief mental exchange, Long Haochen had already soared up, falling from Haoyue’s back. Yating stayed there, standing on top of Little Light’s head, holding her staff high, and began chanting spells.

Long Haochen didn’t summon the Star King here. There was a strong aura of death spirits in the Eternal Tower, and he didn’t want the Star King to be affected.

But, did Long Haochen have no other power besides Haoyue and Yating? Of course not. Although he was reluctant to use this power, he couldn’t care so much when facing a demon god. The strength that Crocell had shown before made Long Haochen deeply afraid, so he didn’t dare to hold back anything.
