Chapter 382 - The Tower Master in White Robes

Chapter 382: Chapter 137: The Tower Master in White Robes"Boss, don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you!"

Just as the Commoner Demon King’s fist was about to hit, the Holy King shouted and a heavy light hammer burst out from the Space Ring.

Upon collision, the Commoner Demon King was forced to repeatedly retreat, the Holy Light scorching his right hand, emitting a large amount of purple-black Demonic Qi, and in the blink of an eye, the demonic claws hidden under the human disguise revealed themselves.

"Immaculate Holy Light!" The Commoner Demon King let out a low shout, seemingly understanding that the Holy Light was the greatest restraint against demons, no wonder Bai Ling feared the Holy Light.

In earlier years, the reason why the demons conducted research on Bai Ling must have been with the intention to decipher the power of the Holy Light and resolve the threat it posed, guiding his downfall.

"I had thought that after the Third Holy King, the Immaculate Holy Light would be thoroughly consigned to history, but it turns out I was wrong, today is a good day to completely eradicate this lingering threat." Although Holy Light restrained demons, due to the evident disparity in combat power, this restraint did not faze the Commoner Demon King, who became even more determined to kill Lu Hong.

Lu Hong also felt a numbness on his scalp, demons were just demons, how could there be a Demon King-level powerhouse condescending to hide in the heart of the Alliance.

The four Dukes had withdrawn early, probably thinking the same incessantly vulgar thoughts as Lu Hong.

As the tide-like army poured in, the Commoner Demon King was not in a hurry, in his eyes, these lower beings couldn’t restrain him.

"Boy, you have ruined my plans, if I don’t mutilate you a thousand times, I can’t quell the hatred in my heart." The Commoner Demon King was furious, he had really been lurking within the Alliance for a very long time, ever since the era of Bai Ling. Although the demons were powerful, initially thinking that overthrowing the Holy Court would be enough to sweep through the Alliance, as he deepened his understanding of the Alliance, he discovered the Axis of the World, this super Divine Artifact, a piece capable of solidly challenging the ancestral spirits of the demons.

Moreover, if the demons were to march out from the Death Zone, it wouldn’t be easy; first leaving the Death Zone, their strength would diminish, coupled with the mysterious Axis of the World, it was uncertain whether they could destroy the Alliance. The Commoner Demon King voluntarily proposed to infiltrate the Alliance to find a way to capture the Axis of the World, and the Alliance wouldn’t activate this artifact unless it was a matter of life and death. This was why, after the Bai Ling incident erupted, the Commoner Demon King, after waiting in hiding for ten thousand years, saw hope, a hope nobody would want to miss; once his proposal was adopted, the demons would have the opportunity to occupy the eight axial wheels, taking control of this super artifact, overturning the Alliance would be as easy as flipping one’s hand.

"Boss, hurry up and run? This guy seems even more formidable than Bai Ling," the Holy King weakly suggested, clearly injured from the impact just now.

"Is retreat possible?" Lu Hong bitterly smiled, ill-fated, always running into top-tier terrifying opponents wherever he fought.

"Die!" The Commoner Demon King struck again, taking a step and closing the distance to Lu Hong’s side with a speed so fast that Lu Hong’s nerves couldn’t react in time.

At this moment, the Commoner Demon King’s subordinates also clashed with the Alliance army rushing to suppress them, the outcome unsurprisingly one-sided, as the demons left within the Alliance were all elite forces, each a Great Demon, with strength comparable to the late stages of the Third Transition, or even the pinnacle.

Just as the Commoner Demon King was about to capture Lu Hong, a bolt of lightning crossed the sky, with a pure gold sword piercing the heavens, heading straight for the Commoner Demon King’s forehead.

The Commoner Demon King was shocked, the golden sword harbored terrifying fluctuations, if he took that hit, he would undoubtedly die.

Ignoring Lu Hong, the Commoner Demon King retreated repeatedly, his rolling Demonic Qi formed a demonic face that swallowed the sword from beyond the skies.

Unfortunately, it was only a moment before the golden light pierced through layers of Demonic Qi, illuminating the entire sky.

The Commoner Demon King, feeling the power contained within the golden sword, like Lu Hong, began to feel his scalp tingle, and he cried out in a faltering voice, "Immaculate,,,,,Immaculate Holy Light?"

At that moment, a cold and majestic voice came from the sky, "Ignorant lower being, this is the Divine Fire, granted by the Great Bright Heavenly God, disrespect towards the Divine Fire shall be punished!"

Looking up, a six-winged angel was stepping through the air. Behind him, followed a man in a white long robe.

Who was that? A hidden powerhouse of the Alliance? In any case, Lu Hong had no impression of this person.

Lu Hong’s lack of recognition didn’t mean others didn’t recognize him, the appearance of the six-winged angel intimidated all the demonic powerhouses, who were extremely wary of the suddenly arriving angel, quickly retreating and gathering around the Commoner Demon King.

"That is the Supreme in White! The strongest first Tower of the Sacred Empire, the Master of the Sky Tower!"

With a gasp, the identity of the robed powerhouse was revealed—Brahman, the mysterious Master of the Sky Tower of the Sacred Empire, finally made his appearance.

The Tower Master had mysteriously disappeared during the most challenging times of the empire, and now his sudden appearance in the heart of the alliance seemed to herald a significant event.

Having infiltrated the alliance for many years, the Commoner Demon King was well-aware of the seven towers of the empire. It was rumored that the Master of the Sky Tower might be a Demigod. His profession was a sacred beacon, a hidden Priest class, currently under the Sky Tower alone in all of Star Sea. As for the unique feature of this class, it summoned high-ranking Angels by using himself as a spatial coordinate from the divine realms of the Heavenly Gods. The six-winged Angel before them was Asmandi, the high Order Sacred Flame Archangel, from the Great Bright Heavenly God’s dominion—a peak Demigod!

"That golden sword is something extraordinary," remarked the Holy King, unable to contain his appreciation. To his senses, it wasn’t a solid weapon, but one condensed from highly purified Holy Light, the golden divine radiance wrapped within the white Holy Light, showing a striking Jin Guang under intense condensation.

After learning the opponent’s identity, Lu Hong breathed a sigh of relief; regardless of the mysterious Tower Master’s intentions, the Commoner Demon King finally had a match.

"Commoner, you have finally revealed yourself," Brahman sprang onto the shoulders of the six-winged Angel and spoke, "The Demon Race daring to leave the Dead Zone and attempt to invade the Human Race’s territories, violating the Divine Covenant, must be eliminated!"

"The Divine Covenant?" laughed the Commoner Demon King heartily. "Under the Star Sea, how many Heavenly Gods are still there? They all ran off to the upper realms to enjoy their blessings, you are just the abandoned playthings of the gods, whereas my Demon Race will eventually rule the entire Star Sea!"

"Possibly? However, I think... you won’t be able to see that," Brahman paused slightly, smiling faintly.

As soon as these words fell, the six-winged Angel, pointing its sword at the Commoner, sent down three strikes of Sword Qi sweeping across.

The Commoner summoned a towering Demonic Qi, transforming it into a claw that met the attack head-on.

Unfortunately, the gap in strength decided everything.

Being a Demigod, the six-winged Angel was inherently superior by a sliver, which equated to a chasm that couldn’t be bridged.

The three strikes of Sword Qi swept invincibly across the Commoner, who then vanished afterward.

Without sparing a glance at his opponent, the six-winged Angel turned to Brahman saying, "I shall return. Should the Demon Race continue to violate the covenant, call upon my true name." With that, he transformed into a beam of pure Holy Light, shooting straight into the sky and disappearing into the clouds.

Following the departure of the six-winged Angel, looking again at the once invincible Commoner Demon King, under the burning of the Sacred Flame, he turned into a pile of ashes. The Demon Race’s powerhouses nearby, merely grazed by the remnant radiance of the Sacred Flame, also perished on the spot. The might of a Demigod was truly terrifying.

With the Commoner subdued, the four Dukes sighed in relief, emerging from their robust defenses, and clasped their fists towards Brahman in the air, "Thank you, Tower Master, for your righteous rescue."

Brahman smiled, "No need for thanks. If you were attacking the empire, perhaps I would’ve waited for you all to die before showing up."

The four Dukes’ hearts skipped, interpreting this as a warning to the Eagle Alliance.

From this declaration, it seemed that the Master of the Sky Tower still cared about the Sacred Empire.

"Tower Master, our alliance is still in great trouble, with an unmatched old demon causing havoc in the north. I wonder if you could lend us some aid so we can regroup and assist the empire’s current crisis," Nuoshan stepped forward, proposing a deal to Brahman. Help us deal with Bai Ling, and I will help save the empire by resisting the Sea Clan.

It was a highly favorable trade, as Bai Ling was much weaker compared to the Commoner. Merely summoning the six-winged Angel again would quickly handle the opponent.

Yet, Brahman shook his head, "Bai Ling is still of the Human Race, after all. I cannot summon the six-winged Angel, and with the current chaotic state of the Dead Zone, I am commanded by the Heavenly God to suppress the out-of-bounds Demon Race, and I cannot afford to be distracted. You will have to sort out Bai Ling’s matter yourselves."

Seeing the four Dukes looking grim, Brahman continued, "You’ve been living in comfort too long. Since the Demon Race felt Bai Ling’s anomaly, they began planning their invasion, and I’ve been blocking external threats for you. If the Eagle Alliance is to survive, shouldn’t you contribute something too?"

Brahman’s implication wasn’t hard to grasp. When the empire’s Tower Master was ambushed, Brahman likely received the Heavenly God’s command to travel to the Eagle Alliance in the Land of the Far East, to block the Demons thinking of invading from the Dead Zone. His return was also in anticipation of the Demons’ intentions, leading him back to the Sevenfold Floating World, where he killed the Commoner.

"Well, I should also leave. The situation in the Dead Zone is quite bad. You should take care yourselves," said Brahman, then turning to Lu Hong, he smiled, "Kid, you’re quite impressive. I’ve heard about you. Danni is not in mortal danger, but you need to grow quickly because... changes are coming." seaʀᴄh thё Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
