Chapter 637: Sima Xian Burns (II) | Throne Of Seal [Trans]
Throne Of Seal [Trans] - Updated on March 18, 2025
This time, there was no need for Chen Ying’er to activate Elemental Decomposition again. Cai’er followed closely behind, her Death Scythe carrying a crystalline grey light, ending the fire mage’s life.
Saint Guard Six and Saint Guard Five returned to the Eternal Melody.
The people of Dawn of Light were completely dumbfounded. When they saw that their opponents in the fourth level trial were two ninth-tier powerhouses appearing simultaneously, they felt very heavy-hearted. In their opinion, passing this level would be very difficult, and it would be hard to complete without paying a huge price.
But who would have thought that Chen Ying’er’s full-power attack would be so terrifying, almost single-handedly turning the tide and defeating the two powerful ice and fire mages.
Her delicate body slowly landed, Chen Ying’er’s pretty face already as pale as paper. She couldn’t help but spit out another mouthful of blood, her body swaying, and she fell into Yang Wenzhao’s arms. Before fainting, she murmured, “I’m counting on you all for the rest…”
Even though she was a Soul Saint Daughter, even though she wore the only divine artifact of the Soul Temple, her essence was only a seventh-tier summoner! Using seventh-tier power to kill a ninth-tier and completely restrain another ninth-tier was not just an extraordinary performance, but a complete overdraft of her own potential.
In order to give Long Haochen more chances for resurrection, Chen Ying’er couldn’t care about much else. The团长 (Tuanchang – Captain/Leader) had done so much for her, she wouldn’t regret losing her life here.
Elemental Prison was a magic spell created by Chen Ying’er, but in reality, this spell had broken away from the category of summoning magic. It was inspired by Haoyue’s chaotic element separation. And to truly control this magic as if it were an extension of her own body, she would have to wait until her cultivation reached the ninth tier. With her current cultivation, she could only cast Elemental Prison once, and its power wouldn’t be as strong as it was just now.
However, Chen Ying’er forcibly unleashed the strongest power of Elemental Prison by overdrafting her potential. Not only did it resist the fire mage’s attack, but it also directly killed the ice warrior with Elemental Prison.
Elemental Decomposition is the next ability of Elemental Prison. Chen Ying’er would not have been able to cast it at all if she hadn’t been overdrafting her potential and life force. But she still used it forcibly, and the backlash she suffered was unimaginable. In addition, she forcibly activated Elemental Prison again. This time, it could be said that her foundation was damaged.
Elemental Prison is not actually an invincible skill. It targets the six types of elemental magic it contains. It only has powerful restraining power, but it does not have powerful attack power in itself. Moreover, this restriction can only last for a very short time.
In other words, if Chen Ying’er failed to kill the ice warrior within the duration of Elemental Prison after restricting him, then once he recovered, he would not have suffered any damage. And the defense of a ninth-tier ice warrior, even if Cai’er attacked with all her strength, might not be enough to kill him in one attack. This is why Chen Ying’er desperately used Elemental Decomposition. The fire mage was a mage, so his defense was naturally not comparable to that of the ice warrior, and Cai’er’s response was timely enough. That’s how they succeeded in one fell swoop and passed the fourth level trial.
Chen Ying’er was able to successfully complete the self-created skill of three consecutive Soul Imbues with the support of the Soul Saint Garment’s vast spiritual power. However, the spiritual power provided by the Soul Saint Garment must be within the range that her body can bear. If it exceeds her body’s endurance, she will eventually explode and die.
Speaking of which, she had to thank Lin Xin’s Senluo Body Tempering Pill. This pill increased her external spiritual power by tens of thousands, greatly increasing the toughness of her body. Otherwise, she would never have survived that kind of load. Even so, Chen Ying’er, who suffered serious injuries, would not be able to recover in a short period of time, and she would no longer be able to participate in the subsequent battles.
The six earth dragons had each returned to their light gates, and the light gates had disappeared along with them. Maike, as her life-bound summon, was anxiously jumping around Chen Ying’er, clearly sensing Chen Ying’er’s weakness at this moment.
Cai’er had already turned around and stood beside Chen Ying’er. She silently watched Chen Ying’er for a moment, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: “Yang Wenzhao, you stay and take care of Ying’er. Everyone else, follow me to the fifth level.”
Yang Wenzhao was using light-based magic to heal Chen Ying’er. He nodded when he heard this. Although he was extremely heartbroken, he fully understood Chen Ying’er’s reason for doing so. If it were him, as long as he had the ability, he would never be stingy.
The passage from the fourth level to the fifth level was at the very front. The trial of this fourth level seemed very simple. Their speed of passing was even faster than when they were on the third level. But in reality, if it weren’t for Chen Ying’er’s strong outburst, it wouldn’t have been so easy for them to pass the level under the joint attack of the ice and fire saint guards. It would have been easier when Long Haochen was around, with him blocking the attacks head-on. But now, what they lacked most was a powerful guardian who could block the opponent’s attacks head-on!
What would they face on the fifth level?
Cai’er had already used the Death God’s Seven Absolutes granted by the Samsara Spiritual Stove once a day, but she had no intention of stopping to rest at all. She led her companions to the end of the fifth level and stepped into the teleportation light.
Eternal Tower, fifth level.
With a flash of light, Cai’er, Wang Yuanyuan, Sima Xian, Lin Xin, Han Yu, Zhang Fangfang, and Duan Yi appeared simultaneously in a completely new world.
Unlike the previous four levels, when they first entered the fifth level, they immediately felt a huge pressure like a mountain squeezing their bodies strongly. Under this heavy pressure, each of them had to release their own spiritual power with all their might to feel a little more relaxed.
Cai’er stood there without moving, her eyes burning as she looked forward.
This fifth level of the Eternal Tower looked no different from the previous fourth level. It was empty, with stone pillars neatly arranged on both sides, extending inward. Unlike the fourth level, this time their vision could not reach far. They could only see a straight line of about fifty meters, and beyond that, it was a hazy light and shadow.
Cai’er said in a cold voice: “The fourth level was ice and fire, the same as the first level, except that the warrior and mage professions were swapped. Then on this fifth level, it is very likely that we will face earth and wind. Everyone be careful.”
After the third and fourth levels, they had lost the Soul Saint Daughter Chen Ying’er. At the same time, Lin Xin, who had used Blue Fire Phoenix, would also have his strength greatly reduced. Having reached this point, they could only fight with all their might.
However, each trial of the Eternal Tower was more difficult than the previous one. What exactly would they encounter here? They would only know after the opponent appeared.
“You stay here, I’ll lure out the opponents of this level.” As she spoke, Cai’er held the Death Scythe and slowly moved forward. As she walked, she looked up at the grey light and shadow that was still flashing above her head.
Compared to the light and shadow on the third level, it was a little dimmer and more illusory now, but the core was brighter. After passing the fourth level, she could have let everyone rest again, but she didn’t do so. If they rested again, the Death God’s light and shadow might disappear. Only in a combat state could the existence of this light and shadow be maintained.
Cai’er was not walking fast, but every step she took gave people a sense of illusion. It was obviously a special footwork exclusive to assassins.
The pressure in the air seemed to be constantly increasing. Just as Cai’er took her tenth step, suddenly, a yellow pillar of light fell sharply from the sky, and a tall yellow figure also appeared in the pillar of light.
A huge yellow skeleton, more than four meters tall, looked even stronger than the black knight before. In its hands were two giant hammers. The moment it appeared, the surrounding air suddenly became heavy.
An earth-based warrior.
This time, only one examiner appeared. Two saint guards did not appear together, but Cai’er not only did not relax, but her emotions became even more tense.
The test on the fifth level was definitely more difficult than the fourth level, but the examiner who appeared was only one, and it was an earth warrior as she had judged. But would the test be so easy?
The next moment, this earth warrior told them what the content of the test was on this fifth level of the Eternal Tower.
The earth warrior, who was more than four meters tall, instantly retracted the yellow light around his body. His right foot suddenly stomped on the ground, and suddenly, a terrifying shock force burst out, and a huge earthquake wave rushed towards everyone like a landslide and tsunami.
Led by Cai’er, the members of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad undoubtedly all rose up and spread their spiritual wings to avoid this earthquake wave.
However, they soon saw that the earthquake wave actually materialized after rushing to their feet. The earth-yellow halo flowed, and a huge suction force came from below. Even Cai’er, who had the strongest cultivation base, was instantly pulled back to the ground. The huge suction force frantically pulled at their bodies, causing them to sink rapidly as if they were in mud.
“Domain.” Han Yu’s exclamation called out the ability that the earth warrior was using at this time.
Yes, in this level, the opponent they had to face was only one, but it was a ninth-tier powerhouse who could use domain!
What is a domain? It is the trademark ability of a ninth-tier powerhouse. Only by truly possessing a domain can one become a peak powerhouse.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for a ninth-tier beginner to possess domain abilities. And any one person’s domain must have its own characteristics. Even if they are strong men of the same element, no two people’s domains are exactly the same.
In one’s own domain, the strength of a ninth-tier powerhouse can be multiplied and greatly restrict the opponent. And generally speaking, possessing a domain also means that one’s spiritual power is at least over 200,000.
