Chapter 825: The Seventh of the Reaper's Seven Absolutes (Middle) | Throne Of Seal [Trans]
Throne Of Seal [Trans] - Updated on March 21, 2025
It was utterly shocking to all the demons that a being as powerful as the Necromancer God had been killed in this war, especially after he had unleashed his God-form and the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.
The demon race, which had been attacking furiously, seemed to have suddenly lost the effect of some ability-enhancing drug. The four Demon Kings immediately ceased their assault and flew back towards the Necromancer God Pillar.
With the death of the Necromancer God Saminagina, a new Necromancer God would inevitably be born from among the four of them. This opportunity was likely to be once in a lifetime for them. Who would bother to deal with the humans at this point?
With their retreat, what combat power could the remaining demon race, bathed in the Holy Rain, possibly have? Their offensive instantly collapsed, and the remaining fewer than five thousand demon experts quickly retreated, flapping their wings towards the main demon army.
The experts of the Southeast Fortress pursued them for several miles, eliminating nearly a thousand more demons before returning to the fortress.
Cai’er did not return to the Southeast Fortress. After using the final move of the Seven Absolutes of the God of Death, she descended directly from the sky, disappearing into the Eternal Tower. The Eternal Tower landed out of thin air in front of the Southeast Fortress. The hundred-meter-tall tower shimmered with a faint purifying light, purifying the souls of the dead on the battlefield, and also channeling this purifying power into the tower for Cai’er to heal and recover.
“Cease the attack and set up camp.” The remaining Demon Gods in the distance issued orders to their respective armies almost simultaneously. They retreated twenty miles and established a fortified camp.
Beside the shock, they all had their own calculations.
This battle was a failure, a major defeat. The demon race suffered the greatest losses, nearly total annihilation, and even the commander of their army, the Necromancer God Saminagina, was killed in battle. Naturally, the responsibility for this defeat would fall on the Necromancer God.
Clearly, the Southeast Fortress was a super tough nut to crack. They had all seen that terrifying magic array! Who would dare to lead an army to charge up again? Moreover, the demon army was now exhausted and demoralized to the point of near mutiny. The dozen or so Demon Gods could only gather their troops, rest and reorganize before making further plans.
The only thing they could do now was to send the battle report to the Demon God Emperor as soon as possible and ask him to make a decision. At the same time, they were all very clear that this Southeast Fortress was probably impregnable.
In stark contrast to the demons, the Southeast Fortress was now a sea of joy. Almost all professions of humans were shouting the names of Long Haochen and Cai’er. The heroes in their hearts had saved the Southeast Fortress and killed the Necromancer God. In an instant, the two positive and negative chairmen had been elevated to almost totemic figures in the hearts of the soldiers of the Southeast Fortress.
Although the Southeast Fortress suffered considerable losses in this battle, its strongest forces had not been greatly diminished. With the demon morale deflated, it would not be easy to repeat today’s battle situation.
Qiu Yonghao was so excited that his cheeks were flushed, and his tiger eyes were filled with tears. This great victory truly showed him the hope of mankind breaking through the darkness.
The Eternal Heroes also had a glint of light in their eyes. A great victory also gave them a glimpse of the dawn of the day.
…………
Dragon Pass.
With a muffled groan, Long Haochen woke up from meditation. The Eternal Armor on his body transformed into thirteen streams of light that merged into his body. With a flash of golden light, Long Yating also transformed from the King’s Sword back into human form.
Earlier, Long Haochen had blocked Saminagina’s final counterattack by using the Brahma Eye, wielding the Eternal Sword and the King’s Sword transformed by Long Yating, two near-divine artifacts, combined with the fusion of the Eternal Domain and the God of Light Domain.
With a slightly pale face, Long Haochen closed his eyes again and immediately entered a meditative state to cultivate.
Yating came behind him and sat down, pressing her palms against his back and pouring her pure light element into Long Haochen’s body to help him recover.
Traveling through space and continuously using the Brahma Eye and the Holy Rain also put a significant burden on Long Haochen.
Although he did not expect Saminagina to be so difficult to deal with, he finally achieved his goal by killing the Necromancer God thanks to his backup plan. The only pity was that he did not destroy his God Pillar at the same time. However, with Saminagina’s death and the God Pillar severely damaged, it would be impossible for a new generation of Necromancer Gods to possess his original power for at least a century.
Why was Cai’er able to appear in the Southeast Fortress, far away from Dragon Pass? This had to do with the Holy Temple Federation’s accumulation over thousands of years. Among this accumulation was a spatial treasure called the Positioning Teleportation Scroll. It could only teleport one person to a fixed location at a time. There were only three such spatial teleportation scrolls, and Cai’er arrived at the Southeast Fortress with the help of this scroll, which helped her withstand the most powerful Necromancer God.
She could have brought more people with the Eternal Tower, but Long Haochen, considering the deployment of the Southeast Fortress and the huge pressure on Dragon Pass from the Demon God Emperor, decided to let Cai’er go alone.
After Cai’er recovers her cultivation, she will have to use the second space teleportation scroll to return. Moreover, Cai’er’s mission is far more than that.
And the light magic arrays that played a decisive role in this war and reversed the tide by destroying the main force of the demon race were the work of the Eternal Heroes.
The Eternal Heroes have been asleep for thousands of years, but they are not sleeping all the time. After all, they themselves have a thousand years of undead life. Among them, some mages have used their long time to study some of the ancient elven magic left behind by the elves. Believe it or not, they really did figure out some of the tricks, the biggest gain of which was the existence of something called a magic trap.

The principle of magic traps is very simple. It is to solidify a magic in a certain position and equip it with a guiding device that is triggered in different ways. It can be triggered immediately when an enemy enters the trap range, or it can be triggered by remote control.
Relatively speaking, as long as there are sufficient materials, making magic traps is even more convenient than making magic scrolls. However, it involves many ancient elven magic secrets that have long been lost in modern times.
The Eternal Heroes brought this magic secret back to the human world and also used it on the battlefield. However, only three mages know how to set up magic traps. After weighing the pros and cons, Long Haochen decided to have them all set up their traps on the Southeast Fortress side. Although the six major occupations have been allocated to each other, the highest-end strength of each fortress still originally belongs to the temple of this fortress. The Warrior Temple and the Soul Temple are much less capable on the battlefield. In addition, the demon race under the Necromancer God Saminagina is too powerful. Rather than dispersing the ability of the three mages to set up traps, it is better to concentrate their power to give the Necromancer God a surprise, and thus completely lay the foundation for the battle of the Southeast Fortress.
Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, Long Haochen’s combat objective was finally achieved. With the accurate intelligence guarantee from Yue Ye, he managed to give the demon race an unprecedented heavy blow, which also completely disintegrated the demon army’s vigor. It would be almost impossible for them to break through the Southeast Fortress again.
In Long Haochen’s entire plan against the demon race, the battle of the Southeast Fortress was the most important. Only by winning this battle could the foundation for all subsequent strategies be laid. If he hadn’t been worried that the Demon God Emperor might launch an attack at any time, he would have even considered going to the Southeast Fortress himself.
…………
Night fell, but the Southeast Fortress was still brightly lit, and the strong festive atmosphere even caused fireworks to be set off inside the fortress. Under Qiu Yonghao’s orders, the soldiers even set up large pots on the city walls, cooking fragrant chunks of meat. The soldiers guarding the city were allowed to eat as much meat and rice as they wanted, except for drinking alcohol.
Yes! How could they not reward the three armies after such an unprecedented great victory?
On the demon side, things were much more miserable.
After a long-distance raid and a day and night of continuous battle, the demon race, the only force that could be considered a fresh force, was almost completely wiped out. The four Demon Kings are still fighting for the Necromancer God Pillar. The remaining 300,000 troops, although large in number, were exhausted to the extreme.
More importantly, in order to travel at full speed, and with Saminagina’s absolute confidence that he could break into the Southeast Fortress in the shortest possible time, the supplies carried by the army were quite limited.
Seeing that they had entered a rhythm of long-term combat, the dozen or so Demon Gods had no choice but to carefully distribute the limited military food after discussing it. While quickly reporting to the Demon God Emperor, they also sent people back to the central province to collect supplies. But this process would take at least half a month to a month. However, the military food they carried was only enough for ten days at most. They still had to tighten their belts.
Therefore, even though the demon army was exhausted to the point of near death, each demon only ate food equivalent to a bowl of porridge and a bun for humans after completing the camping. Not to mention meat, there wasn’t even meat soup.
After experiencing such a big battle, the morale was already at an extremely low point, and they couldn’t even get enough to eat. The indignation of the various races in the army was imaginable. However, a mutiny would not occur after all, because there were more than a dozen Demon Gods suppressing it here, and the demon army was too tired. Therefore, after eating the meal that didn’t even half fill their stomachs, most of the demons immediately fell asleep in their tents. Some demons even didn’t have tents and simply fell asleep in the wilderness.
Fortunately, this was the Southeast Fortress and not Dragon Pass, otherwise, the weather alone would probably cause the demon army to rapidly decrease in number.
The Demon God Emperor’s strategy was actually very correct and effective. He concentrated the strongest elite force on Dragon Pass, but the number was small. With the strength of all above the eighth rank, the environment would not have any impact on them at all. Long Haochen certainly attracted the Demon God Emperor, the Moon Demon God, and the Star Demon God, the strongest demons, to that side, but at the same time, the Demon God Emperor also believed that he had similarly attracted the human ninth-rank powerhouses to Dragon Pass. He was not in a hurry to launch an attack. One of his goals was to give Long Haochen time to mobilize human ninth-rank powerhouses. The Demon God Emperor definitely had this confidence.
