Chapter 839: Fighting the Demon God Emperor (I)
Long Haochen’s violently trembled, trembled… He refused to believe this was true. Standing before him was his greatest enemy. How could it have been his father? He refused to believe it. He refused to believe it no matter what! How was he supposed to face his companions, all of his human clansmen if that was true? How was he supposed to fight the Demon God Emperor with his full strength?
Just as the grief and resentment in Long Haochen’s heart spiralled more and more out of control, the Demon God Emperor’s expression suddenly changed.
This was because the two droplets of blood that had merged together suddenly split back apart, floating the air separately. They were no longer fused like before.
“H- how is this possible?” The Demon God Emperor looked at the separated droplets of blood in a dumbfounded manner.
Long Haochen was also dumfounded, the sorrow and resentment in his heart slowly subsided. At the same time, he quickly retreated to a hundred meters away, raising the Sword of Eternity once again.
The droplets of blood did not merge. That meant that he did not possess the Demon God Emperor’s bloodline. No matter what the Demon God Emperor had babbled earlier, the truth had been presented before him and Long Haochen’s emotions quickly returned under his control.
“No, this is impossible! You possess my bloodline. That cannot be wrong,” the Demon God Emperor roared out angrily as he was unwilling to accept this. With a wave of his right hand, the two droplets of blood arrived before him. He tried to use his own power to make the droplets of blood fuse. They merged as soon as they came into contact with each, but after a short moment, they separated firmly once again.
The Demon God Emperor finally became flustered. Something had happened to the thing he relied on the most, which impacted him just as much as what Long Haochen had gone through earlier.
“No, this can’t be right. Something must have happened somewhere. That has to be it.” The Demon God Emperor suddenly looked at Long Haochen, “What did you do? Why has the power of my bloodline become so thin in your blood, even close to vanishing? Tell me! What did you do?”
Long Haochen said coldly, “I’ve done nothing. Demon God Emperor, your exaggerated lie has been exposed. Let’s do it.”
As he said that, Long Haochen clutched the Sword of Eternity with both hands firmly as his eyes shone brightly. His fury and emotions had reached the limit after the psychological impact from before. At the same time, his firm beliefs allowed his emotions to stalise, while he became even more determined.
The ball of seven-coloured light in Long Haochen’s surroundings suddenly rushed into the gemstone on his chest. SHortly afterwards, the seven-coloured light was refracted by the gemstone, illuminating the Sword of Eternity, causing it to shine bright with the same colours. Long Haochen’s Armour of Eternity turned into the same colours as well.
A weak aura of life appeared from the Sword of Eternity, but soon afterwards, it strengthened rapidly, becoming extremely terrifying. The figure of the divine gigantic dragon appeared behind Long Haochen in the form of light, illuminating the entire sky.
“Receive my second sword technique of eternity, Creation of the Living.”
Multicoloured light exploded in the air, immediately enveloping the Demon God Emperor as well. The figure of the divine gigantic dragon behind Long Haochen suddenly consolidated and it let out a loud roar, charging towards the Demon God Emperor as the Sword of Eternity slashed out.
In that moment, Long Haochen’s strength was unprecedented, while the Demon God Emperor was in shock. He struggled to believe what happened before him.
“Piss off!”
The Demon God Emperor roared angrily and threw his right fist. The figure of a dark golden dragon appeared behind him, but in just a moment, it was enveloped by the seven-coloured light. Seven-coloured clouds appeared in the sky as it rumbled.
The Demon God Emperor was actually completely swallowed up by the attack of Creation of the Living.
Long Haochen ran a little out of breath after launching that attack. At the same time, he calmed down. He thought about everything rapidly and drew his own conclusions from what the Demon God Emperor said earlier.
“You bastard. How dare you lay your hands on me!” The Demon God Emperor’s furious voice was also rather frantic. When he ripped through the seven-coloured light and reappeared, he no longer seemed as composed anymore.
A streak of purple blood had appeared at the corner of the Demon God Emperor’s mouth. At the same time, his clothes were tattered as he forced seven-coloured out from the apertures of his head, dispersing as haze. Even his neat, black hair seemed rather dishevelled.
Under the strike from the Creation of the Living, the Demon God Emperor was actually injured.
Long Haochen looked at him coldly, “Why can’t I lay my hands on you?”
The Demon God Emperor also looked at Long Haochen coldly, “Do you think I was just spouting lies earlier?”
What surprised the Demon God Emperor was Long Haochen shaking his head, “No, I believe you.”
Surprised, the Demon God Emperor asked, “Then you’re admitting it?”
Long Haochen shook his head once more, “No. Believing it is one matter, but admitting it is another. I believe that you won’t lie in consideration of your identity. My body does indeed possess your bloodline. However, do you remember everything that happened in the Star Demon Pagoda? Even if my life contained a portion from you, even if your bloodline flowed through my body, you had killed the past me when you shattered in the heart back then. Regardless of my relationship with you prior to that, it was all reduced to nothing in that moment. We will only be enemies. The reason why your bloodline no longer exists in me is because you have killed me once before. When I was revived and I was recognised by the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, your bloodline had been completely purged. As a result, the current me is Long Haochen, the Long Haochen that belongs to the Temple Union, the Long Haochen that is the Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership, while you are only my enemy.”
The Demon God Emperor frowned, “What are you blabbering on about? Your loss of bloodline was only an accident. After all, we were connected by blood in the past. Even if something happened to it now, it doesn’t count. I can help you recover your bloodline. As for what happened in the Star Demon Pagoda, you should have been able to tell that I was in great pain as well. However, I had no other choice. Austin Griffin’s existence poses a fatal threat to my race. As the ruler of the demons, I must place my race over my family, which forced me to kill you.”
Long Haochen smiled. After listening to the Demon God Emperor, his emotions had completely stabilized. Regardless of what the Demon God Emperor had said earlier, he no longer cared now. The Demon God Emperor’s bloodline did not flow through him. It also made him remember the resolute strike from the Demon God Emperor back in the Star Demon Pagoda.
Long Haochen forcefully expelled all random thoughts. Regardless of how close he was supposed to be with the Demon God Emperor, their relationship had been completely severed the moment the Demon God Emperor had personally killed him in the Star Demon Pagoda. There were no longer any ties binding the two of them.
“How impressive, killing family for the sake of the race. You are the leader of the demons, able to kill your family for the safety of your race. However, I am the leader of the humans now, so why can’t I kill family for the sake of the humans? Come, Demon God Emperor. We can only be enemies. Today, you either kill me a second time, or I act on behalf of heaven and lead the humans out of this era of darkness, allowing the glimmer of hope to descend.”
As he said that, Long Haochen’s aura surged. The translucent white light on the Armour of Eternity shone brighter and brighter, while the three balls of light around him revolved more quickly.
A scorching, white light gradually expanded from Long Haochen’s body towards the Demon God Emperor. This was the fusion of the Domain of Eternity and Light God Domain. Long Haochen had already pushed his domain to the limit.
The gaze of the Demon God Emperor gradually coldened. Long Haochen’s earlier attack had made him furious, “In other words, you plan on being obstinate and remain as my enemy?”
Long Haochen said proudly, “We were always enemies. I’d like to see whether you’re able to kill me a second time today.”
The Demon God Emperor nodded. His gaze seemed to pierce through the air, “Very well then. I’ll destroy your confidence first, and then I’ll make you kneel before me for repentance.”
Even now, the Demon God Emperor still did not plan on killing Long Haochen. When Long Haochen mentioned everything that happened in the Star Demon Pagoda, his heart ached for some reason. It was true! He had killed his family for the sake of the demons in the past, so even Long Haochen knew he possessed the Demon God Emperor’s bloodline, how could he yield so easily with his current status among the humans? The only way about it was to defeat him first and they destroy the humans, before taking him back to the demons and coming up with a plan slowly.
With his mind made up, the Demon God Emperor no longer held back. A layer of dark golden light slowly expanded from his body. At the same time, the clear roar of a dragon rang out from behind the Demon God Emperor. The thousand-meter-long dragon tore through the seven-coloured clouds in the air, unfurling its huge wings behind the Demon God Emperor.
Long Haochen was very calm right now. He knew that if he wanted to defeat the Demon God Emperor, he had to force the Demon God Emperor to use all of his trump cards. Currently, the Demon God Emperor only used his domain. He had not used the demon god transformation, let alone the Demonic Collapse Technique.
Currently, Long Haochen had already made up his mind about dying. Even though he was already calm, he was still unwilling to admit that he was once connected to the Demon God Emperor by blood for some reason.
He knew very well that an insurmountable difference existed between him and the Demon God Emperor in terms of cultivation. Only by staking his life could he completely kill the Demon God Emperor. That was doing down together.
Having made up his mind as well, Long Haochen became especially calm in that moment. With a wave of his left hand, a golden crack appeared in the space there and a huge, golden sword landed in his hands.
