Chapter 867: Haoyue’s Counterattack (III)
The Demon God Emperor’s voice resounded out, but Austin Griffin suddenly seemed to realise something and his originally peaceful body began to struggle crazily.
The nine huge heads were like nine supra divine tools, violently colliding against the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens.
The power of the God of Heavenly Wrath was just too terrifying, so terrifying that even the combined power of over sixty demon god pillars was still not enough to oppose him. Under the pressure, the powerful demon god pillars gradually collapsed. The first pillars to become cracked were the three in the centre, the Devil Dragon Pillar, the Moon Demon God Pillar and the Star Demon God Pillar.
With the appearance of the cracks, Austin Griffin struggled even more violently. The terrifying aura of destruction seemed like it could break free at any time.
Long Haochen raised the purplish golden heavy sword in his hand. He looked calmly at the terrifyingly powerful God of Heavenly Wrath that spanned over ten thousand meters in the distance and murmured, “Haoyue, I was the one who brought you to this world. Now, I’ll take you away. Perhaps in the next world, we can still be brothers. Xiaolei, come out.”
With a green flash of light, the fairy of god Ye Xiaolei immediately emerged from Long Haochen’s chest. Her petite face was also covered in tears in that moment, but she had no intention of stopping Long Haochen, because she knew that this was the only method that could work now.
Long Haochen nodded at Ye Xiaolei and said gently, “Xiaolei, you’ve already fused with my power of light. Even if you don’t attach yourself to someone else, you will still be a fairy of god. You won’t die due to the different environment. Take care.”
As he said that, he raised his right hand and a layer of purplish golden light enveloped Ye Xiaolei, blocking out the pressure from Austin Griffin and the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens for her. It gently sent her to Cai’er’s side.
“Perhaps, this is the best ending,” Long Haochen smiled. In that moment, everything and everyone he had once associated with no longer seemed so important. He was filled with reluctance, with unwillingness, but he had no other choice now.
The purplish golden heavy sword condensed from the power of Haoyue’s bloodline was slowly raised. Long Haochen glanced at the struggling Austin Griffin deeply and said coldly, “You’ve stripped Haoyue of his soul, so I’ll strip you of everything.”
As he said that, the heavy sword had left his hands. It was directly thrown into the air. The sword turned into a streak of purple light when it flew thirty meters into the air. It flew downwards, with the target being Long Haochen’s own head!
That was correct. When Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor’s eyes met, he had already made his decision. Through the pulses of their souls, the Demon God Emperor told him that there was nothing in this world that cuold defeat Austin Griffin. Even if the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens reappeared, it was impossible to kill Austin Griffin again when he was appeared. The only weakness that Austin Griffin possessed was Long Haochen. Only Long Haochen’s blood pact with him formed his only restraint. It was also the final hope.
As a result, when Long Haochen rose into the air and launched a suicidal attack against Austin Griffin, his plan with the Demon God Emperor had already begun. Long Haochen attacked Austin Griffin to make time for the Demon God Emperor, so the Demon God Emperor could use the incomplete God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens, while the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens was not to kill Austin Griffin. It was so the Demon God Emperor could make time for Long Haochen, time for him to commit suicide!
Long Haochen and Austin Griffin were connected to one another by a blood pact. As long as Long Haochen died and ended the connection of the blood pact, Austin Griffin would die. This was also why Austin Griffin did not harm him at all when he attacked Austin Griffin with his full strength. It was not became Austin Griffin was benevolent, but rather that the blood pact made him cautious, unwilling to harm Long Haochen. It was possible to say that Long Haochen was the God of Heavenly Wrath’s only weakness.
Currently, the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens had restrained Austin Griffin, just so he could not interfere or stop Long Haochen from committing suicide. The array combined the power of over sixty demon god pillars and they had sealed up Austin Griffin in the past as well. Even though they were incomplete now, unable to recreate what happened in the past, they could retrain Austin Griffin for a period of time at the very least. This was enough for Long Haochen.
Long Haochen’s mind was empty. Everything that had once bothered him was gone now. He was about to depart. No matter how reluctant he was, this was his only choice for the sake of all the lives on the Shengmo Dalu.
Purple light shone. Under the full force of Long Haochen, as long as the great power of destruction penetrated his head, it would be impossible to save Long Haochen even if the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux was revived.
Countless sobs of sorrow rang out from below. While only the closest people to Long Haochen understood what he was doing when the powerhouses of the Temple Union saw this sight, all of them could sense Long Haochen’s sacrificial spirit. In that moment, he seemed so fraile, yet also so determined. In that moment, all of the human powerhouses who had once come into conflict with Long Haochen could not help but feel ashamed about themselves. As chairman of the union, he completely deserved his title!
“Brother, don’t!”
Just as Long Haochen was in peace and the purple streak of light was about to touch his head, an urgent voice that he found to be extremely familiar and indescribably close rang out from the depths of Long Haochen’s soul. The purplish golden heavy sword over his head seemed to be frozen by some kind of power. The tip of the sword had penetrated Long Haochen’s scalp, but it did not fall any further.
Long Haochen suddenly opened his eyes and cried out, “Haoyue!”
Indeed, the voice belonged to Haoyue. It did not come from Austin Griffin.
No matter how powerful Austin Griffin who was currently trapped in the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens was, he was unable to stop Long Haochen at a time like this. What stopped Long Haochen’s suicide attempt was the power of his own bloodline.
It was also in that moment that Long Haochen could clearly sense that the partial bloodline that belonged to Haoyue in his body had completely surged up. The purplish golden sword in the air immediately turned into a streak of purple light, merging into his body again, but it refused to harm him. What shocked him the most was that Austin Griffin’s colossal body began to twist violently at this moment and Long Haochen saw a pair of familiar eyes.
The pair of eyes were golden, the kind of gold that represented light, while the head which the eyes belonged to rose up suddenly and smashed against Austin Griffin’s central, grey head viciously.
Little Light. It was Little Light.
That’s right. The one who had called to Long Haochen earlier was Little Light, the one who had originally born from Long Haochen’s bloodline! It had actually broken out of Austin Griffin’s control forcefully, allowing its mind to clear up. It rammed into the side of Austin Griffin’s head, but its eyes remained fixed on Long Haochen.
Within its eyes, Long Haochen could see panic, worry and deep sorrow, while the same emotions rose u from Haoyue’s bloodline within his body.
Long Haochen’s suicide attempt had actually awakened the sliver of consciousness that Haoyue had left behind in his bloodline. It was also because of the consciousness’s existence that the heavy sword had stopped when Long Haochen faced death, because the bloodline belonged to Haoyue in the first place!
Could it be Austin Griffin’s scheme? Long Haochen pondered over many things in that moment. What if Austin Griffin had temporarily awakened Little Light to prevent him from dying, so he could break out of the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens and control him again? If that really was the case, Long Haochen would not be able to resist at all with Austin Griffin’s great power. He would only become a puppet under the God of Heavenly Wrath’s control in the future.
However, Little Light used his actions to prove Long Haochen wrong very quickly. Austin Griffin’s head of destruction that had been knocked aside let out a furious roar and turned around, glaring at Little Light. A dense, grey light enveloped Little Light.
However, what Little Light did made the head of destruction fear. It opened its huge mouth and bit the end of Austin Griffin’s neck, forcefully ripping out a large chunk of flesh and scales.
When Austin Griffin evolved, his head of destruction was obviously not the only one that had evolved. All of the heads had evolved to the level of the God of Heavenly Wrath. Little Light’s sudden attack could be described as a backlash of its body.
Roar!
The head of destruction roared out in pain, but under the attack of its grey light, Little Light’s head began to tremble violently, as if it was struggling with something.
At this moment, a pair of red eyes broke out of the restraint of destruction to the other side of the head of destruction. A dense and fiery aura immediately erupted, viciously biting the othe side of the head of destruction’s neck.
Little Flame. It was Little Flame! With Little Light’s awakening, Little Flame had awakened as well. Out of Haoyue’s nine heads, Little Light and Little Flame were the closest to him, without a doubt. One of them had been saved by Long Haochen, while the other one had been given life from Long Haochen’s bloodline. In that moment, when Long Haochen was determined to sacrifice himself in order to destroy Austin Griffin, Little Light and Little Flame’s consciousness had awakened. In order for Long Haochen to survive, they both did everything they could to attack the head of destruction.
