Chapter 458: Ambush! (Middle) | Throne Of Seal [Trans]
Throne Of Seal [Trans] - Updated on March 17, 2025
Unfortunately, the Spore Demon’s skill was used on the wrong target. If Long Haochen were still using his old Glorious Holy Shield, then there’s no doubt this powerful slowing skill would have taken effect immediately. But what kind of existence is the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield? Even ninth-tier powerhouses would find it difficult to break its defense.
It could be said that Long Haochen, as a Child of Light and a Temple Knight, now has his strongest ability in defense, not offense.
Green slime fell, and the gentle elasticity of the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield was immediately activated. Whether it was liquid or spiritual power, under the influence of this gentle elasticity, within a ten-meter radius centered on Long Haochen and Yating, no slime could fall. All of it was repelled by the Shield Wall skill.
This was the first time Long Haochen used the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield on the battlefield, and the effect was undoubtedly excellent.
At this moment, led by an eighth-tier Demon Lord, the demon squad had also arrived.
The pure and powerful light element released from Yating’s body was enough to shock, even terrify, any demon. The completely internalized and potentially explosive terrifying spiritual power fluctuations could be felt as a threat by any demon with a little intelligence.
That’s why an eighth-tier powerhouse was sent to lead the Greater Demons to investigate. After all, the ninth-tier Demon King, the commander-in-chief, couldn’t personally take action.
The Demon Lord didn’t allow his subordinates to test the waters first. His perception was the strongest, so his sense of urgency was also the greatest. The dark red heavy sword in his hand brought a shocking rainbow of light, directly slashing at the shield wall set up by Long Haochen.
“Boom—” Dark red light scattered everywhere, and the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations shattered all the coniferous trees within a hundred square meters around. The terrifying dark element even suppressed the Greater Demons, making them afraid to approach.
However, the Demon Lord’s attack was in vain. Long Haochen, inside the shield wall, was glowing with golden light. The spiritual power injected into Yating’s body had become even stronger, thanks to the Light’s Retribution brought by Divine Obstruction.
Shield Wall plus Divine Obstruction is the strongest defensive combination skill for a Guardian Knight to protect himself and his companions. Moreover, Long Haochen was using the epic-level Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield!
Long Haochen was now a seventh-tier cultivator, and he had the strength to challenge eighth-tier demon powerhouses in a head-on confrontation. When he fought A’Bao before, he didn’t fall behind much. He only suffered later because his cultivation was too far behind A’Bao.
When the Demon Lord’s attack landed on the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield, Long Haochen could clearly feel that his attack power was immediately dispersed by the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield. The original single attack seemed to become a group attack, penetrating into the shield as a whole.
The gentle elasticity of the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield vibrated sixteen times in a row. Each vibration greatly resolved the attack power, and the vibration that truly reached Long Haochen’s hand was negligible. In other words, even if Long Haochen didn’t use Divine Obstruction, the Shield Wall alone would have been enough to withstand the Demon Lord’s attack. This was something Long Haochen hadn’t expected.
Of course, it’s not that anyone can use the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield to withstand attacks from powerhouses. Wouldn’t that be heaven-defying? First of all, the Sun Moon Divine Snail has only appeared three times in history. To gain its recognition, one must be a Child of Light.
Secondly, the Child of Light recognized by the Sun Moon Divine Snail must have enough strength to control it and unleash its power. Long Haochen’s seventh-tier cultivation, equipped with the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield, was just enough. Even so, he still couldn’t unleash the full power of the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield.
In other words, seventh-tier strength is the bottom line.
If other seventh-tier powerhouses had an epic-level shield, it wouldn’t be surprising for them to block an attack from an eighth-tier powerhouse. It’s just that the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield is more compatible with Long Haochen’s attributes, so it’s easier to defend against.
After these days of acclimating to the shield, except for the times when the shield can’t be used at dawn and dusk, Long Haochen didn’t find any other problems. Instead, he discovered some strange things about the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield. The size of the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield can be changed, it can be large or small. The largest it can be is a hundred meters in diameter, and the smallest it can shrink to is the size of a palm. The most powerful thing is that even when it’s at its largest, the decrease in defense isn’t particularly noticeable, and when it’s shrunk to its smallest, the astonishing defense is probably comparable to a divine artifact.
The Demon Lord’s attack was blocked, and his body was also delayed in the air before landing on the ground. The recoil force of the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield wasn’t very strong, but it still surprised him. It also made him feel the strength of the enemy protected by this shield even more.
At this time, a group of Greater Demons had surrounded them and launched an attack on Long Haochen together without needing to be told.
However, Long Haochen had a bit of a “let him be strong, like a breeze caressing the mountains” attitude. The shield wall formed by the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield was like a majestic mountain, unshakable no matter how the enemy attacked.
Of course, with the enemy attacking, the spiritual power consumed by Long Haochen to maintain the shield wall increased. But epic-level equipment is epic-level equipment. The only ability of the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield is defense. It consumes very little of Long Haochen’s spiritual power. At least in the current situation, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to let these Greater Demons attack for several hours.
“Roar—” The Demon Lord roared to the sky and waved the heavy sword in his hand towards the sky first, emitting a sharp red light. The red light soared into the sky, and the light blade quickly rose and agitated. This was his signal to the main force that the enemy was tricky and difficult to deal with.

Immediately afterwards, the Demon Lord changed to holding the sword with both hands, and the rich dark element quickly condensed into his body. The Greater Demons also quickly ran behind him, lining up one after another. Isn’t this the demon race’s spiritual power enhancing ability? You should know that Lin Xin used the Demon race’s crystal cores to research the spiritual power enhancing pill.
Instantly, the Demon Lord’s aura increased exponentially, and intense dark element spiritual power fluctuations surged wildly. The light on the dark red heavy sword in his hand became more and more intense, gradually turning into dark red flames rising and burning on it. The firelight soared into the sky for more than ten feet. It was truly fierce and terrifying!
Long Haochen was unusually calm at this time. He knew very well that even if this Demon Lord obtained the spiritual power enhancement from his subordinates, his overall cultivation couldn’t break through the ninth tier. The ninth tier is a huge bottleneck, unless it’s like the Snake Demon God Andromalius, who relies on the powerful power of a demon god pillar to amplify his power, it’s difficult to break through. Therefore, the Demon Lord’s next attack would at most be at the peak of the eighth tier.
With the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield, Shield Wall, and Divine Obstruction, Long Haochen was confident that he could block another attack from him.
After this series of entanglements, plus the time it took for these demons to arrive, Long Haochen could clearly feel that Yating’s magic was about to be completed.
The dark red flame suddenly constricted, turning into a huge light blade in the air. Wherever the light blade passed, there were explosions in the air like rolling thunder. Large swaths of air were forcibly torn apart, and the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations caused the ground around Long Haochen and Yating to collapse.
“Boom—”
The huge dark red light blade slammed hard on the orange-like shield wall. A strange scene appeared. A circle of orange-red and a circle of dark red spread out almost in parallel. A sound like a lazy dragon’s roar also sounded in the air.
All the demons behind the Demon Lord were knocked out in the next moment. This was caused by the Demon Lord passing the huge recoil force to them. The Demon Lord himself also took six or seven steps back before stabilizing himself. The hands holding the heavy sword were numb.
He never thought that he had already increased his strength to the peak of the eighth tier, but he still couldn’t break through the opponent’s defense. Moreover, in the next moment, he saw in horror that a stream of brilliant golden light soared into the sky like fireworks.
Yes, not one stream, but streams of light. The golden light erupted like a geyser, going towards the high sky with dazzling halos and incomparably dense light elements. Each stream of golden light expanded at a terrifying speed during the ascent, so that their volume didn’t seem to shrink due to the height when they rose into the air.
With a flash of golden light, Yating had already merged into Long Haochen’s chest and disappeared. She had completed her magic, but she no longer had the energy to see the effect of the magic.
The orange-red light converged, and Long Haochen coldly glanced at the Demon Lord. His four wings flapped, and his figure flashed, and he had already fled into the distance.
Of course, the Demon Lord didn’t want to let Long Haochen go like this. With a sharp roar, he immediately flapped his huge demon wings and chased after him.
In the previous attack, although Long Haochen repelled the enemy, he himself was not well. That was, after all, an attack at the peak of the eighth tier. The Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield was indeed powerful. With the combination of Shield Wall and Divine Obstruction, Long Haochen didn’t suffer any shock. However, the corresponding thing was the consumption of spiritual power. The previous attack caused Long Haochen’s spiritual power to plummet.
The more he used it, the more Long Haochen realized the magic of the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield. He vaguely understood that with the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield’s ability, the enemy probably wouldn’t be able to cause any harm to him before his spiritual power was exhausted.
However, now was obviously not a good time to fight this eighth-tier Demon Lord. He still had to meet up with Holy Guard Nine, and assisting Yating in casting magic before had also consumed a lot of his spiritual power. Choosing to fight the enemy at this time, and when the enemy still had reinforcements, would be foolish.
