Blood Pact Fusion Enters the Body (Part One)

Just as Long Haochen had envisioned when making his arrangements, the Demon Hunt Squad elites were fired up by the prospect of Merit Points.

However, the blaze also concealed most of the battlefield's overall situation. Each Demon Hunt Squad could only attend to what was happening around them. As for Long Haochen's side, at most they could see the formidable power of Chaos Element Su Ke Li erupting. It was obvious that it had come from Long Haochen's team, but they had yet to notice the crisis Long Haochen and the others were facing.

After knocking Cai'er back, Bloodthirsty Beta had become crazed. It hated the humans before it, especially Long Haochen, who was drawing it in with the Saint Origin Spiritual Stove. It also knew that unless it killed Long Haochen, it would be unable to kill anyone else. This time, rather than spitting out light, it charged straight at Long Haochen in a flash of blue-black radiance.

The pounce was incomparably swift. At the same time, a dense layer of blue-black light spread from its body, taking the form of an identical figure that lunged ahead of it.

Terrifying pressure bore down upon him. What did the seventh rank signify? It meant more than ten thousand points of Inner Spiritual Power! Long Haochen had only two thousand. Though this Bloodthirsty Beta was far inferior to Gao Yingjie, its all-out burst still possessed five times Long Haochen's spiritual power. That was already beyond what Divine Obstruction could withstand, much less when this was Bloodthirsty Beta's full-power strike.

Facing Bloodthirsty Beta's locked-on pounce, Long Haochen remained calm in the face of danger. He used the Pull skill on Haoyue, who was not far away, borrowing Haoyue's immense weight to generate a backward force that instantly shifted his body sideways.

Although Bloodthirsty Beta had locked onto Long Haochen, this was a physical attack and naturally could not change direction on its own like an energy attack. Its four limbs sprang off the ground as it lunged at Long Haochen again.

At that moment, Wang Yuanyuan had finished equipping the Giant Spirit God Shield, and Chen Yinger's Gate of Living Beings had finally completed its summoning. Cai'er and Sima Xian chased after Bloodthirsty Beta, while Lin Xin and Han Yu poured every defensive skill they had onto Long Haochen.

The entire scene looked somewhat chaotic, yet Long Haochen's mind was incomparably clear at this moment. A direct clash meant certain death. That was the answer Long Haochen gave himself. Even with his companions' defensive skills supporting him, he absolutely could not withstand an all-out strike from a seventh-rank demon.

What should he do? Just as Long Haochen was preparing to make up his mind and fight to the death, a furious roar formed from three voices suddenly rang out behind him.

The ear-splitting roar, mixed with a faint purple hue, passed through Long Haochen's body and struck Bloodthirsty Beta.

Long Haochen only felt his entire body heat up, as though the blood within him had been completely ignited. Immediately afterward, he clearly felt a powerful force slam viciously into his back.

The others saw it even more clearly.

As Long Haochen drew on Haoyue's body to make himself retreat diagonally, Haoyue's three heads abruptly lifted. Amid its roar, its massive body actually turned entirely into a crystalline purple. With that roar, a purple halo instantly burst forth, enveloping Long Haochen's body before passing through him to strike Bloodthirsty Beta.

The blue-black radiance released by Bloodthirsty Beta actually dissolved just like that. Its body also came to an abrupt halt in midair. That pounce had actually been blocked by the purple mist-like aura. Even the bloody flames burning in Bloodthirsty Beta's eyes from its fury dimmed, replaced by a trace of terror.

Haoyue's crystalline purple body moved along with the purple light it had released, crashing into Long Haochen from behind at lightning speed.

To everyone's horror, Haoyue's body, over four meters long, actually merged directly into Long Haochen's body, shrouding his entire figure in a layer of purple radiance.

His originally black hair instantly turned purple, as did Long Haochen's left eye. One of his clear, crystalline golden eyes had suddenly turned purple. What an utterly bizarre sight.

Scorching heat! That was all Long Haochen felt at this moment. It was as though an incomparably vast energy had appeared within his body, stimulating it to grow wildly. He had originally been less than 1.7 meters tall at fourteen years old, but he grew in an instant. His bones and muscles seemed to be affected by that immense power as well. Amid the swirling purple light, he transformed in the blink of an eye into a slender young man over 1.9 meters tall.

Purple hair draped over his shoulders, while golden and purple light burst from his two differently colored eyes, captivating the soul. Long Haochen's Sheng Lingxin Armor truly deserved to be called a Spirit-Demon Grade set. As his body grew larger, it expanded along with him.

Long Haochen had always been handsome, but he had been only a boy before this, and at first glance had even looked somewhat like a girl. Yet at this very moment, surrounded by purple light, even a girl as masculine in temperament as Wang Yuanyuan stared blankly. Gold and purple seemed like the fusion of justice and evil. His peerlessly handsome face resembled a sculpture meticulously crafted by the Creator God, while his fair skin gave off a noble purple glow. His whole body even floated slightly in midair.

His purple eye was noble and bewitching, while his golden eye was pure and kind. The fusion of those two contrasting temperaments turned Long Haochen into a massive magnet, drawing the attention of every living creature around him. Even Bloodthirsty Beta, his mortal enemy, was stunned as it watched Long Haochen's body transform so rapidly and did not immediately launch another attack.

Chen Yinger's Gate of Living Beings had already completed its summoning. Unfortunately, fate did not favor her. What crawled out of the Gate of Living Beings this time was actually a chubby, round little pig.

The little pig was barely over a foot long, its fair skin carrying a somewhat crystalline sheen. It was looking curiously at everything around it. But when its gaze fell upon Long Haochen, whose entire body gleamed with purple light, it reacted as though it had seen a ghost. With a whoosh, it spun around and dove straight into Chen Yinger's arms, trembling all over. So terrified was it that its pig snout even bit Chen Yinger's hand. Chen Yinger merely felt a slight prick of pain in her palm and paid it no mind. At that moment, her eyes were filled with sparkling starlight...

"Too handsome! Is this what Haochen will look like when he grows up? So handsome! Unbeatablely handsome!" Heart-shaped lights continuously blossomed from her eyes. She felt as though her heart had been forcibly stolen away in an instant. A lovestruck state of mind unlike anything she had ever experienced nearly emerged beyond her control.

Cai'er's feelings differed from everyone else's. Because she could not see, she was unable to witness what was happening outside, but her senses were sharper than anyone's. She felt that Long Haochen had changed. The Haochen she knew seemed to have vanished, and his aura was increasing geometrically. An indescribable presence was rapidly transforming. What made Cai'er's expression change in horror was that the Reincarnation Spiritual Stove and Reincarnation Sword within her body suddenly erupted with an incomparably intense killing intent, as though a chilling murderous aura born entirely from self-protection.

Since obtaining the Reincarnation Spiritual Stove and the Reincarnation Sword, this was the first time they had undergone a change of their own accord. Could Long Haochen's aura alone have made them feel threatened? Or even afraid?

The entire transformation sounded slow in description, but it had actually taken only an instant. A pair of crystalline purple wings suddenly unfurled from Long Haochen's back. They were not especially broad, with a wingspan of only a little over three meters. They could not compare at all to the spiritual-power wings Long Xingyu had displayed years ago. Yet these purple wings seemed to have been carved from amethyst. They had no feathers, but were filled with a crystalline texture.

Spiritual-power wings... a Radiant Knight?

The shock in the hearts of the Soldier Grade One Demon Hunt Squad was beyond words. No one knew why Long Haochen had suddenly undergone such a tremendous transformation, nor did they even know whether it was good or bad. But one thing was certain: spiritual-power wings were the hallmark of a Radiant Knight. Moreover, Long Haochen was likely far more than an ordinary Radiant Knight now.

The Holy Spirit Sword quietly vanished into the Forget-Me-Not Ring, leaving only Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light in Long Haochen's hand.

Dazzling golden and blue radiance erupted instantly. Long Haochen made an upward-supporting motion with his left hand, and the gold and blue transformed into two streams of light that circled above his palm.

Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light rose while surrounded by a faint glow like rippling water. A misty golden-blue radiance spread forth, and the heavy sword in Long Haochen's hand simply vanished. Gold and blue were distinctly separated, like two ribbons of light shooting out in an instant. The two streams intertwined with one another in midair.

The bloodthirsty gleam in Bloodthirsty Beta's eyes gradually turned to fear. It was not only because of Long Haochen before it, but also because an overwhelming killing intent had suddenly erupted behind it.

Endless black spread across Cai'er's body. Some Double Blade Demons charging over from nearby even collapsed directly to the ground beneath that overwhelming killing intent, completely losing the light of life.

Yes, driven by the dual transformation of Long Haochen's body and aura, Cai'er's Reincarnation Spiritual Stove had been activated. Even without Long Haochen drawing it forth, Cai'er would have done the same in order to save her man. It was simply that, under the influence of that strange aura, her simultaneous eruption with Long Haochen had become even more harmonious. One before and one behind, the two seemed to merge as one.

Black as ink, Cai'er's long hair floated up on its own, actually forming a disc behind her head. The heaven-shaking killing intent caused even the air around her to twist into black.

It formed a stark contrast with the purple surrounding Long Haochen on the other side.

On one side was crystalline, noble purple; on the other, blackness like endless devouring. The powerful Bloodthirsty Beta was now like the cream filling in a sandwich cookie.
