Chapter 856: The Eight-headed Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (I)
The resonant phoenix’s cry rang through the entire battlefield in a dominating fashion in the next moment. A black phoenix that was over thirty meters long emerged from the sun.
The blue phoenix had completely become black. A dense, dark blue haze revolved in its surroundings.
After the black phoenix appeared, it arrived before Lin Xin and nodded its head with great intelligence. Afterwards, it spread its wings and lunged towards the battlefield below. Black flames also descended from the sky in the next moment.
After using this spell, Lin Xin’s face paled completely. He closed to his eyes to rest and recover magic, while the others were the same. The spell earlier had actually drained two thirds of everyone’s spiritual energy. In other words, the black phoenix was basically condensed from a million spiritual energy! It was obvious just what it could do on the battlefield.
Under Shu Yongxiao and Xiao Huo’s lead, the human powerhouses began their full scale counterattack.
None of them had thought Long Haochen would actually overwhelm the Demon God Emperor, even drawing over the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God to team up against him. The powerhouses of the union would never let such a good opportunity slip. With the support of the black phoenix, the battlefield became a one-sided battle instantly.
The black phoenix flew onto the battlefield and spread its wings, enveloping an area of several thousand square meters in black flames. Even the demon gods had to flee hurriedly before these black flames. Once the other demons came in contact with that, they would suffer horrifically even if they managed to survive.
The outcome of the battle of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass had been determined, while the fierce battle between the four in the sky had only just begun.
Long Haochen was extremely stern, but he had never felt so confident before at the same time. In the moment Haoyue turned into the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword, he suddenly experienced more confidence than he had ever felt before. When the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God entered the battle, the only emotion he sensed from Haoyue was derision. This was also why Long Haochen did not let his companions below assist him. He believed in Haoyue’s judgement of the enemy’s strength. Even though he knew Haoyue with eight heads was at the seventh grade of the ninth step, it had to be mentioned that even the Demon God Emperor was reluctant to face him directly when Haoyue only had six heads, instead killing Long Haochen for it to die. That was how fearful the demons were of Haoyue.
Faced with the current situation, Long Haochen was composed. He was surprisingly calm against the three greatest powerhouses that the demons had to offer. Tremendous amounts of spiritual energy poured into his body from the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword, allowing him to recover his peak condition very quickly. A purplish golden ring of light had appeared below Long Haochen as well. Whenever the ring of light flashed, all of the elements that had been reduced to pieces in the surroundings gathered towards Long Haochen, transforming into his own power. This also happened to the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword in his hand. Transformed from Haoyue, the sword itself could absorb energy from the outside world to strengthen itself.
Dark gold, purple and orange. The three streams of light gradually faded in the air and finally they vanished. A sun, a moon and a star appeared above the three demon gods.
In the sky, the three colours merged together and illuminated everything. An indescribably tremendous pressure crashed down on Long Haochen, such that he struggled to endure it even with his cultivation at the peak of the ninth step and the might of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. The Armour of Eternity and Creation actually squeaked under the pressure.
What was this power? Was this a magic array? The Demon God Emperor and the other two could actually use a magic array, and it boosted their strength to such a terrifying level?
Just when Long Haochen even struggled to raise his swords, a layer of purplish golden light returned to his body from the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword, adding a layer of purplish gold to the Armour of Eternity and Creation.
All of the pressure vanished in a single moment. Purplish golden light rippled from Long Haochen and his pupils became purplish golden as well.
Haoyue’s power really could restrain demons. Long Haochen was overjoyed. He understood that Haoyue’s restraint over demons was similar to how Cai’er’s power of purification restrained the Demon God of Death. It might have even been more effective. Otherwise, the Demon God Emperor would not have suffered under the Eye of Brahm?, nor would he summoned the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God into battle.
Long Haochen did not look at the Demon God Emperor. Instead, he turned to Agares on his left, “Senior Agares, with how far with come with our cooperation, we’re close to completion, so why must you do this? As long as we work together and kill the Demon God Emperor, I will definitely honour my promise. Don’t you believe my promise to Yue Ye?”
The Demon God Emperor’s face darkened when he heard Long Haochen’s words. Guessing it was one matter, but hearing it personally from Long Haochen was a whole thing altogether. The Demon God Emperor was furious at the thought that his greatest support had betrayed him. However, he did not rebuke or curse Agares, surprisingly.
Agares was no longer calm. He frowned as he gazed at the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword in Long Haochen’s right hand with shining eyes.
“Long Haochen, our cooperation has already ended. Austin Griffin’s death was the condition and foundation for our cooperation. Even if his majesty blames and even sentences me to death after killing you today, I must work with him against our common enemy, you, in order to completely kill Austin Griffin.”
Long Haochen was surprised. He had said this to Agares obviously to weaken the relationship between the Moon Demon God and the Demon God Emperor. The combination of the three great demon gods caused him great pressure. He could not afford to be defeat. Defeated meant the destruction of humanity. This was why he had spoken to test Agares, but he had never expected Agares to answer with such resolution.
Vassago did not say anything, but it was possible to tell from his gaze that he thought of the same thing as Agares.
Long Haochen asked in doubt, “Why? Is killing Haoyue really that important to you?”
Agares said sternly, “I was willing to help you, to help your humanity because I hoped that my race could continue thriving like humans, possessing the power of creation, so they can lead an even better purpose for existence. However, Austin Griffin’s existence symbolises destruction, utter destruction. When destruction truly descended, even you won’t be able to control it. Long Haochen, there’s nothing more we should say. Either you kill all of us today, or we destroy Austin Griffin.” As he said that, he pointed his blades at Long Haochen and the purple moon in the sky immediately lit up.
The Demon God Emperor and the Star Demon God also pointed their weapons at Long Haochen. In that moment, Long Haochen endured unimaginably tremendous pressure. Within the triangle formed by the three demon gods, the space had already begun to fold and shatter. If someone else had been standing in there, they probably would have been crushed to dust by the terrifying pressure a long time ago.
Within the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.
A white-clothed woman currently stood below the walls, gazing at the sky. She had already been there for a while now. She was so beautiful, like someone who did not belong in this world. However, her eyes were currently filled with tears, while her hands were clenched so tightly that her nails stabbed into her palm. Blood flowed through the gaps between her fingers.
Her black hair drifted behind her as she suddenly gritted her teeth and climbed up the walls using the steps.
There were no longer many human powerhouses left in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. All those left behind were the gunners handling the magic cannons. Aside from them would be the people fighting outside the walls. The appearance of the woman in white was extremely unexpected, but if Long Haochen happened to see her, he would have definitely called out in shock, “Mother.”
Indeed, the woman in white was Bai Yue. When she knew the holy war was about to begin, Bai Yue retreated with the others, but after just partially retreating, she quietly looped back. The people escorting her obviously wanted to stop her. However, she was the mother of the current chairman of the Temple Union Long Haochen, as well as the spouse of the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial Long Xingyu. How could a few guards stop her over something she had made up her mind amount? Her reason was very simple. She wanted to live and die with her husband and son.
In the end, under the gazes of admiration from the people escorting her, she returned to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. She also happened to arrive there at this exact moment.
Looking at Long Haochen who was surrounded by the three demon gods in the air, Bai Yue’s eyes were moist. Soon afterwards, tears flowed down her face constantly. She constantly asked herself a single question inside, “Why...”
Long Haochen obviously did not know that his mother was currently climbing up the walls. His heart had completely settled down. Gripping the two swords firmly, he gradually fused his consciousness with Haoyue’s.
He received a terrifying aura from Haoyue’s bloodline. Long Haochen suddenly felt that nothing in the world could stop him.
This feeling had appeared very suddenly, but it also felt so convincing, such that when he raised the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword in his right hand, he actually failed to sense what had happened to his body.
In the next moment, Long Haochen moved. His body actually moved under the influence of the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword.
A purplish golden figure flickered in the sky. That’s right, flickering. It flickered from the left side first. As it began flickering, the sky actually dimmed, while the three demon gods attacked Long Haochen simultaneously in response.
The sun, moon and star in the sky lit up at the same time. The auras of the three demon gods formed a special sealing domain.
