Divine Seal: God Descends, Holy Priest Riding a Black Dragon

Chapter 54 The Authority of the Dead

The piercing shriek made the entire cave tremble violently.

Long Haochen could only use the Holy Light Shield skill to block the shrill howl as much as possible, while circulating his own spiritual power to cover his entire body and resist the invasion of the howl.

The two used their unique abilities to resist the terrifying roar.

It was clearly visible to the naked eye that Long Haochen's holy light shield seemed unable to hold out for long; it had already shattered three times in a row with a series of "cracks".

Long Haochen vaguely grasped some kind of inspiration, and with the impact of the shriek, a strong sense of excitement surged within him.

And Wen Tai was no different.

His entire body radiated a jade-like light, with a faint golden hue swirling within his internal organs. Wen Tai was using the terrifying howl to temper his body.

Wen Tai makes no attempt to protect himself, allowing his body to develop cracks and then be repaired.

When the shrieking sound disappeared, the two of them felt a sense of lingering satisfaction.

Long Haochen opened his eyes as if he had a sudden realization, and then he saw Wen Tai, who was radiating a magnificent light. Every strand of his hair was crystal clear, like a god who had descended to the mortal world.

"Wen Tai, how are you feeling?"

Wen Tai slowly opened his eyes, his calm gaze almost pulling Long Haochen into a deathly silent world.

"I'm fine," Wen Tai said, his eyes regaining their sparkle.

"It's good that you're alright. I've used up 20% of my spiritual energy. How about you?" Long Haochen asked.

"Spiritual power……"

Wen Tai assessed the situation and said, "I think I have a little too much."

Long Haochen looked completely bewildered.

How can there be more? This is strange, really strange!

Long Haochen said, "Let's go let our friends know we're safe first, and then we'll discuss what to do next."

“Okay, let’s use the contract teleportation directly,” Wen Tai said.

Austin and Haoyue were both left outside so that they could be moved at any time.

A pure black and pale purple light flickered out of thin air, and then the two living people disappeared.

The people outside had painstakingly carved out a simple stone cave, and the sudden appearance of these two startled the eleven of them.

"Don't do anything, it's us."

Everyone stared wide-eyed in shock and horror. It wasn't surprising that Wen Tai had such a skill, but the real question was, Long Haochen, how could a knight have so many fancy moves?

Wen Tai smiled to himself. Long Haochen's words just now inexplicably reminded Wen Tai of the "Imperial Army, don't fire" meme.

Afterwards, Long Haochen told his companions about the situation inside the cave.

“That’s the situation inside. I plan to go in again with Wen Tai, and this time I will use the detection gem to record the whole process,” Long Haochen said.

Wen Tai added, "Of course, if any of you feel capable of protecting yourselves, you can come down with us."

The others shook their heads; none of them had the ability to save their own lives, so they didn't go down and cause trouble.

After Wen Tai and Long Haochen recovered their spiritual power, they began their second cave exploration.

Having learned from their first experience, the two quickly arrived at the deep crevice in the cave. However, instead of rushing down, they sat on a nearby rock and waited for a while.

Not long after, the fourth shriek arrived as expected.

This time, Long Haochen only activated one layer of holy light shield, but this holy light shield underwent some change, greatly enhancing its defensive capabilities.

Wen Tai used the same old method, but the tempering effect was far less than the last time. To give an example, the pressure of the shriek on Wen Tai last time was 10, but this time the pressure of the shriek on him became 7.

Wen Tai's physique has improved.

After the fourth fierce howl subsided, Wen Tai said, "That's enough, Hao Chen. Let's hurry up and make the most of this time."

"Wings of the Wind".

Wen Tai pointed a beam of azure light at Long Haochen, and azure wind wings immediately extended from Long Haochen's back.

Seraphim wings unfurled from Wen Tai's back, and the two slowly descended beneath the rift.

A radiant light hung beneath their feet as the two descended slowly.

The deeper one goes, the more one can feel a ferocious spiritual energy fluctuation, a ferocity tinged with a deathly stillness. Unlike Cai'er's killing intent of reincarnation, this deathly stillness can only be emitted by death.

The depth of the crack was unknown, but Wen Tai and Long Haochen dared not speed up.

During their descent, they also discovered the corpses of several large demons hanging on jagged rocks.

They rushed as fast as they could, and landed on the ground just before the fifth shriek erupted.

The profound darkness here compressed all the light, turning the blazing orb into a wisp of candlelight that quickly went out.

Although the radiance is gone, it is not without light.

A faint gray halo appeared in front of them; in the infinite darkness, the gray was still quite conspicuous.

The two exchanged a glance, and although they couldn't see each other's eyes, they still took a step forward at the same time.

"Woo——"

"Woo——"

A series of faint, sharp whistling sounds rang out, as if rehearsing for the impending whistling.

After walking about 300 meters, the originally faint gray light suddenly became bright, and the grayish-white light was like the moonlight on a grave.

Wen Tai's expression shifted slightly; he already knew what was below, so he wasn't shocked.

The only one who was shocked was Xiaolong. He subconsciously took a step back, raised his shield, and assumed the standard defensive stance of a guardian knight.

The situation before us was simply too shocking!
A hundred meters away in front of them was an extremely open space. The huge cave was cone-shaped, and the cave walls were as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a faint gray light.

This wasn't the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing was that in front of them, there appeared a tall tower of bone-white and silver-gray, with seven stories and a height of over a hundred meters.

The style is reminiscent of a glorious era, radiating a rich gray aura from all directions and filled with terrifying, deathly spiritual energy fluctuations.

This tower occupies the very center of the cone-shaped cave. Layers of gray light flow down from the top of the tower, each drop of light being formed from terrifying spiritual power, exuding immense pressure.

This tower...something's strange!!!
A strange chill rose in Long Haochen's heart; this was the first time in his life he had felt fear.

Around the tower, countless pale lights and shadows swirled around it like moths to a flame, rushing towards the top.

Undead, haha.

Wentai was no stranger to necromancy. Although he had no lineage to inherit it, Uriel, one of the seven archangels, was a powerful angel who ruled the underworld and governed hell.

It can be said that He is the source of necromancy, and controlling the undead is His authority, so He does not need magic to pass it on.

Suddenly, a fierce howl erupted without warning, and the undead shadows swirling around the gray tower also went berserk, scattering in all directions.

The terrifying necromantic energy transformed into a ferocious torrent of skeletons that rushed towards the tiny Wen Tai and Long Haochen.
