Chapter 603: The Mental Scouting of the Demon God Emperor (II)

Although their voice was not loud, the surrounding comrades could all hear. Gathering their eyes on Long Haochen and Cai’er, all sorts of feelings welled up in their hearts. Even the strongheaded Wang Yuanyuan’s eyes couldn’t help but redden.

Will this day surely come to be? Demonkind is that strong. As members of a Titled Demon Hunt Squad, could they finally bring such a beautiful ending? Perhaps they would die in the next battle against demons. For a moment, they felt as if choking, but their hearts were in agreement in their feelings of longing.

For the sake of bringing this bliss to the most humans possible, they had to fight against demonkind: this great resolution became firm inside them.

Patting Cai’er’s back, Long Haochen supported himself into a straight sitting position thanks to her help. Getting up, he was thinking of just holding Cai’er to soak in that bliss! But he couldn’t do that: he just had far too many things to do. He told the group next, “It’s about time. I am going to scout the demons’ movements. The moment I can confirm that the Demon God Emperor’s group has arrived in the Exorcist Mountain Pass, we will immediately head out into demon territory, letting the Demon God Emperor know our rough whereabouts to relieve the Exorcist Mountain Pass from danger.”

Cai’er immediately opened her eyes and stood up, “Let me go. I can turn invisible, making it easier to scout.”

Long Haochen shook his head “It won’t do. In front of a mental probing at the Demon God Emperor’s level, your invisibility will hardly show effects. Let me go, if something goes wrong, I can immediately teleport back. I will be sure to take extra care.”

Cai’er was planning to reply, but had her shoulder pressed on by Long Haochen, who immediately teleported back after instructing everyone to keep cultivating.

In a flash of golden light, Long Haochen was back to the place they came from.

The surroundings were an absolutely empty wilderness. After a time of reflection, Long Haochen took off his Golden Essence Foundation Armor, putting on a large cloak. Without travelling by flight, he ran quickly toward the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

This was for the sake of reducing his release of holy aura. Either the Golden Foundation Armor or his spiritual wings would release far too much light essence.

After running for less than a thousand meters, an overwhelming mental might swept by. The instant Long Haochen was shrouded by this mental might, he felt his blood congeal.

A burst of purplish golden radiance burst forth from within him.

This was a boost Haoyue gave him after acquiring his sixth head. In some sense, his strength was already mixed with Haoyue’s blood suppressing force.

Without the slightest hesitation, Long Haochen instantly activated the Tower of Eternity, returning inside with a pale look.

Only a few minutes had passed from his departure to his return. Seeing Long Haochen coming back so suddenly, everyone was in great shock.

“It’s the Demon God Emperor.” Long Haochen affirmed with no hesitation, “I could sense his mental scouting. There’s no mistake, it’s surely him, I recognize that mental aura. What a powerful mental force. If he did that from the Exorcist Mountain Pass, his strength is really far too terrifying. We are at least at a distance of three hundred kilometers from there, but his mental force came very near.”

That irresistible feeling was just too terrifying. Long Haochen just felt as if he was violently suppressed by an almighty presence, still feeling dizzy even until now.

Seeing his pale look, everyone couldn’t help but exchange looks. To be able to inflict such heavy damage to Long Haochen—who had already killed several low ranked demon gods—with his mental probing alone at a distance of several hundred kilometers, just what kind of strength could the Demon God Emperor have? Although his evaluation of the Demon God Emperor was already very high, he had after all never crossed hands with this number one of the demon race. Now everyone couldn’t help but look at each other in dismay, feeling full of shock.

“What should we do next then, Boss?” asked Sima Xian.

Long Haochen had arleady calmed down, and replied with seriousness, “Penetrate deep into demon territory with no delay. Just now, I made no prior preparations due to not thinking that the Demon God Emperor’s mental probing could reach such a long distance and didn’t protect myself with mental force. At such a long distance, even if he sensed my existence, he couldn’t possibly recognize me in such a short time. Remain in the Tower of Eternity, everyone. I am the main instigator of the teleportation so it will take place where I am for everyone. Even if the Demon God Emperor is even more powerful, his mental probing must have some limitations of range. I will immediately set out, and use mental force protection on myself. Let’s see to the rest after entering into demon territory. As long as we pass this hurdle, we can let the Demon God Emperor know that we are deep in demon territory and draw him back there.”

Actually, letting them remain in the Tower of Eternity and cultivate was the best method. The Demon God Emperor was surely expending quite a lot force to launch a mental probing of such a large scale and naturally could not launch it permanently. Choosing to move when it’s off was the safest.

But it won’t do! What if the Demon God Emperor takes out his anger on the Exorcist Mountain Pass, due to my absense? Let alone an Assassin Temple, even the addition of the Knight Temple may not necessarily stop the advance of the Demon God Emperor. The Demon God Emperor’s aim was Long Haochen and Haoyue, so only their personal appearance in demon territory could attract the Demon God Emperor’s attention.

“Boss, isn’t that too dangerous?” Chen Ying’er asked in worry.

Long Haochen replied, “No problem. Even if the Demon God Emperor confirms my presence, as long as I don’t cross hands with him and immediately teleport back, there won’t be too much danger. If it is only me alone, I can already complete instant teleportation back to the Tower of Eternity. Cultivate here at ease, I will be alright. For the sake of the Alliance, I will be extremely careful.”

No one tried to persuade him, as Long Haochen always handled matters reliably, and would make very few uncertain decisions. He had already proved this on countless missions. Although everyone was worried for his safety, they also held absolute confidence towards him.

In a flash of golden light, Long Haochen teleported back once again, this time covering his whole body with the protection of his mental force. Right after stepping toward Shengmo Dalu, he immediately rushed frantically toward the opposite direction, making way inside demon territory.

If they were to contest in mental force, Long Haochen was far from being an opponent for the Demon God Emperor. But all he was using his mental force for was to protect his body. At such a large distance, the awareness the Demon God Emperor would have of him wouldn’t be too strong.

While rushing at full speed, Long Haochen tried his utmost to perceive the degree of intensity of the Demon God Emeror’s mental scouting. Very rapidly, he understood how the Demon God Emperor managed to miraculously reach over three hundred kilometers distance with his mental scouting.

The Demon God Emperor’s mental scouting wasn’t multidirectional, but only aiming in one direction, like a light beam shot horizontally. This way, his mental force would be fully gathered in one direction, naturally covering a much greater scouting range. However, even so, the terrifyingness of the Demon God Emperor caused Haochen to have chills, shaking a bit of his self-confidence to defeat him in the future.

These recent years, Long Haochen’s strength had been growing at high speed. But at this very moment, he found out shockingly that the gap between the Demon God Emperor and him was still sky high! No wonder his grandfather gave him such an assessment.

Long Tianying had told Haochen before that the present age’s Demon God Emperor was the most powerful to appear since the descent of the demons six thousand years ago. He very possibly broke through the million spiritual energy for real, reaching the peak of the ninth step, and close to reaching the legendary boundary of the tenth step.

What’s the tenth step? That is a god’s boundary! And since the demons were originally not from his world, they weren’t subjected to the limitations imposed by this world’s gods. There are not even records of this level of attainment, because there had never been a human reaching this level.

The heavy matter of vanquishing the Demon God Emperor is still far off… While thinking so, Long Haochen sped along. Just as he estimated, although the Demon God Emperor’s mental scouting would land onto him at some intervals, it couldn’t go through the surface of his body. It felt as if Long Haochen was a rock, which the mental scouting only swept past.

The Demon God Emperor’s mental scouting didn’t get stronger from beginning to end, which means that he shouldn’t have found out about Long Haochen’s presence. But even so, he didn’t dare loosen his vigilance in the slightest, still focusing all his attention on the nearby changes. As soon as some wind blows along the surrounding grass, he would immediately teleport back to the Tower of Eternity.

Demon camp outside the Exorcist Mountain Pass.

In a deep green tent having just been established, the Demon God Emperor sat, cross-legged and shutting his both eyes, making special movements with both his hands.

This huge tent’s surface was at least of five hundred square meters, extremely wide. But inside the tent were only the two almighty demon gods known as Demon God Emperor and Moon Demon God.

The Moon Demon God Agares was seated calmly behind the Demon God Emperor, a wavering look on his face, as his look swept occasionally through the surroundings.

Situations of human Demon Hunt Squads ambushing the Demon God Emperor were already not a rare matter. Although in front of him, these humans’ had insufficient strength to be considered a threat, they had inexhaustible killing methods, so even the Demon God Emperor had no choice but to be careful.

The terrifying mental force of the Demon God Emperor first went through the tent to reach high altitude, before spreading to the surroundings. Otherwise, if the demons in this camp were swept by this terrifying mental force, all would stand limp and wouldn’t dare budge.

As the second demon god, Agares’ strength was the closest to the Demon God Emperor in all demonkind. But right because of that, he understood how terrifying the Demon God Emperor’s strength was. His strength already overbounded the demon category since long, and was closer to the divine category.
