Chapter 833: The Demon God Emperor’s Wrath (I)

The humans had achieved victory in the two battles in three short days. The Demon God Emperor’s calculations were extremely accurate. Unfortunately, he calculated what would happen at the start, but he failed to calculate the end result.

Long Haochen clenched his hand firmly, “It’ll be up to us next. If we can defeat the Demon God Emperor’s army of elites, then the situation between us and the demons will reverse.”

He was right. An army of a million demon elites had been defeated and seven demon gods had died as well. That was enough to shake the foundations of the demons. In particular, the heavy losses of the Fiends, Hell Demons and Bear Demons formed an incalculably great blow to the demons. If they could deal a blow to the Devil Dragons, Moon Demons and Star Demons here, then the bright glimmer of hope really would have arrived.

Yang Haohan said sternly, “Haochen, there’s something I must warn you. Before we completely defeat the Demon God Emperor, we can’t say that victory’s already been determined. As long as the Demon God Emperor hasn’t been defeated, then we still can’t break out of this age of darkness completely. Are you really confident that you can achieve this?”

Long Haochen shook his head, but his face gradually shone with a special light, “In the past, the Scion of Samsara used his life to heavily injure the Demon God Emperor back then, leading to his early death. I don’t think I’m any weaker than the Scion of Samsara back then and I also possess advantages that the Scion of Samsara didn’t. I have no confidence in defeating the Demon God Emperor. My cultivation is nowhere near enough for me to by his opponent. However, if it really comes to that point where he wants me to die, I will do whatever it takes to pull his demon god pillar down with me. Once the Devil Dragon Pillar is destroyed, the demons will definitely fall.”

He said this firmly. The determination in his eyes even shocked Long Tianyin and Yang Haohan.

“Hangchen, you…” Long Tianyin only felt like there was a lump in his throat, but he was unable to say anything.

For the greater picture, he completely supported Long Haochen, but Long Haochen was his only grandson after all! He was also the only child of the Long Family. Long Xinyu and Bai Yue had produced no one else besides him. If Long Haochen died in battle, then that would be the end of their Long Family!

However, as the chairman of the union and the Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership, he had an inescapable duty to face the Demon God Emperor. No one could replace him. The most crucial battle would depend on his ability.

The light in Yang Haohan’s eyes flickered, “Good, good, chairman. With what you’ve said, there’s no reason for me to value my old life. If I die, I have to die before you. Our Knight Temple has gathered all six divine knights, so I refuse to believe that we can’t defeat the Demon God Emperor.”

Long Tianyin recovered from his sorry, “Yeah, old Yang’s right. When time comes, we’ll all die in battle. All three generations. If we have to die, then let’s completely uproot the Long Family. Let’s die on the battlefield together.”

Long Haochen took in a deep breath, “Grandfather, Grandfather Yang, you should go. I think Yue Ye’s side won’t be able to hide the news much longer. It never rains, but it pours. Once the Demon God Emperor takes action, it’ll definitely be a battle that determines victory overall. It’ll also be the battle determining whether we can break out of this darkness.”

The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was constructed in a mountain range. Three days ago, when the Demon God Emperor lead his nineteen demon gods here, the mountain pass was filled by a killing aura. Now, the aura had grown thicker and thicker.

Woooooo! War horns rang out in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass as figures emerged from the mountain, standing on the walls of the fort.

Not a single regular warrior or mage appeared. The people that could stand on the walls were powerhouses of the seventh step at the very least.

The temple head of the Mage Temple, Li Zhengzhi, had come with his strongest wind mage squad and all nine Eternal Heroes sent to protect the Mage Temple. As soon as the battle at the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass had begun, he had lead his army of mages and Eternal Heroes over.

Apart from Li Zhengzhi, the higher-ups of the Assassin Temple that was the closest to the Knight Temple came as well. Personally lead by Sheng Yue, there were thirty-six Hidden Heroic Assassins of the eighth step, eleven Heroic Assassins of the ninth step and six Eternal Heroes.

The strongest force obviously came from the Knight Temple itself. With Long Haochen in the lead, the six divine knights stood in a single line in the centre of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

The master of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership, Long Haochen.

The master of the Divine Throne of Terror and Sadness, the Divine Knight of Destruction and Forgiveness, Han Yu.

The master of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter, the Divine Knight of Adjudication and Trial, Long Xingyu.

The master of the Divine Throne of Protection and Mercy, the Divine Knight of Defence and Planning, Yang Haohan.

The master of the Divine Throne of Wisdom and Spirit, the Divine Knight of Knowledge and Legacy, Zhang Fangfang.

The master of the Divine Throne of Order and Law, the Divine Knight of Control and Restraint, Long Tianyin.

The six divine knights were all in robes, but everyone knew that as soon as the battle began, their divine thrones would immediately appear on the battlefield.

Behind the six divine knights were the thirty-six Golden Foundation Knights lead by the Starry Sky Holy Knight Yang Haoyu and the hundred and eight Myrthil Foundation Knights. They were the core as well as the strongest force the Knight Temple possessed.

Aster becoming the Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership as well as the chairman of the union, Yang Haoyu took over the position of Saint Knight Head. It was possible to say that this was the strongest formation of the Knight Temple over the past six thousand years.

The powerhouses of three temples gathered here along with over a hundred powerhouses above the seventh step from the Warrior Temple, Priest Temple and Spiritual Temple. Although the demons still outnumbered them, they neared a thousand people.

At least in terms of domain wielding powerhouses, the humans were not outnumbered. It was just that their overall strength was weaker than the demons.

The Demon God Emperor had basically brought all of the forces his three strongest clans had to offer, two hundred ninth step powerhouses, over a thousand eighth step powerhouses, the Devil Dragon Clan, the Moon Demon Clan and the Star Demon Clan. This would be a battle of unprecedented size between the humans and demons. The outcome of the battle would decide the future of the Shengmo Dalu.

Long Haochen stood in the very centre sternly, while the Bright Glimmer of Hope stood beside the six divine knights. After all, Wang Yuanyuan and Chen Ying’er were both on the level of the six temple heads and they were also vice-chairwomen of the union. The others were also assemblymen of the union, so they possessed enough status to be standing there.

Long Haochen gazed at the demon camp in the distance. The demons were still peaceful. It was completely pointless for humans below the seventh step to take part in this battle. It would be no different than sending them to their deaths. As a result, once the Demon God Emperor had arrived, the union had come up with a battle tactic of using elites against elites after a meeting, to minimise their losses as much as possible. If they all perished on the battlefield, then it would not be too late to flood the enemy with people.

“Lin Xin, what’s the situation with Cai’er and the others?” Long Haochen asked Lin Xin who stood nearby.

Before all these people, Lin Xin replied extremely politely, “Chairman, vice-chairwoman Cai’er and the others are currently recovering their strength. Please do not worry. They have the support of my medicine. Vice-chairwoman Cai’er will be able to return to her peak condition before long.”

Cai’er was the one who had brought back the news from the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. However, as soon as she returned, she ingested the medicine provided by Lin Xin to heal.

Cai’er’s injuries were heavy and she had completely over exhausted herself. She had played crucial roles on the battlefields of the Southeastern Fort and the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, especially when she personally slew Samigina.

Cai’er was not the only one to return. She even used the Tower of Eternity to bring all the Eternal Heroes from the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. Apart from the nine that fell in battle, another twelve Eternal Heroes returned. Coupled with the twelve holy guards revived from all the aura of death Cai’er had purified from the battlefields, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass’s gained over twenty more ninth step powerhouses.”

It was possible to say that the Temple Union had gathered all of its primary forces to deal with the Demon God Emperor, apart from leaving behind the people they needed to for the other forts. This was also what Long Haochen wanted to see the most. Whether they could defeat the Demon God Emperor would be the final decider of victory.

“Chairman, everything’s been prepared,” Yang Haoyu arrived beside Long Haochen and whispered.

Long Haochen nodded. With a flash, he flew ten meters away from the wall. He turned around and faced the powerhouses on the walls.

“Predecessors of the six temples, seniors, Eternal Heroes, the moment that decides whether we can break out of this darkness has arrived. For the better future of our descendents, for us humans to become the rulers of the Shengmo Dalu once more, many of us may never see the sunlight of tomorrow ever again in this battle. However, I, the first chairman of the Temple Union, Long Haochen, will die without regrets. I take deep pride in being able to fall in battle with you all against the demons.”

“Among us, basically every single person holds deep grudges with the demons. Recently, the Demon God Emperor slew over a dozen of our legendary heroes from two titled demon hunt squads. This time, the Demon God Emperor is even trying to destroy us completely, forcing us to take a step closer to slavery. However, they will never succeed.”

“Perhaps some seniors do not know that the demons have sent armies amounting to a million in total to other battlefields, lead by the Demon God of Death Samigina and the Hell Demon God Marbas, to attack the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass simultaneously. The two armies mobilised a total of thirty-four demon gods and launched an unprecedented, full scale holy war. However, I must give you good news. Because of our sufficient preparation and appropriate battle tactics, the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass have both achieved a decisive victory in this holy war.”
