However, the demons suffered greater losses compared to before. With the support of the magic cannons and the wave of fire at the beginning, the demons had lost a lot of their original advantage. There was an individual person controlling each magic cannon, targeting the opponent and then firing. When the third wave of cannonfire was complete, over five hundred demons had already fallen to the cannons. Although the latter two rounds of fire were weaker, they would still be demons that could not dodge in time or could not block the attack. At the same time, with the threat of the magic cannons present, even the Devil Dragon squads composed of three great powerhouses each were affected to a ceratin degree.
Up in the air.
The clash between Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor’s domains had already reached the limit. A black hole around thirty meters wide appeared between the white light and dark golden light. The edge of the black hole to one side was white, while the other was dark golden. The tremendous pressure from the dark hole assaulted Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor.
The difference in cultivation was very clearly presented at this moment. The two swords in Long Haochen’s hands clearly trembled, while the Demon God Emperor remained calm. He did not use any weapons or equipment either.
However, the Demon God Emperor no longer said anything else to Long Haochen. He had already made up his mind to defeat Long Haochen first and then find a way to make him yield.
What Long Haochen said earlier caused his deep pain. That was when he killed Long Haochen in the Star Demon Pagoda. The Demon God Emperor had already pondered this issue. As the leader of the demons, he possessed many secret techniques. One of them was to embed his will on people. He knew that it was impossible to make Long Haochen directly yield, so he just took a step back. He could rebuild his character and soul, so he could become his successor.
He had to defeat Long Haochen, and then erase his memories and his will but keeping his cultivation. Once that had happened, the Demon God Emperor woudl channel the power of his bloodline back into Long Haochen. At the same time, he would remove Ye Xiaolei’s powers and make it into his own.
The final result would be that the Demon God Emperor himself would become a true god, while Long Haochen would inherit the position as the leader of the demons after gaining a new soul, replacing him as the new ruler.
Without a doubt, this process would be extremely complicated and difficult, but the Demon God Emperor was very confident in himself. Not only was it because of his sufficient abilities, he had sufficient time as well. Nurturing Long Haochen who already had such a high cultivation was much better than waiting for Ah’Bao to recover. And, Ah’Bao’s character made him unsuitable to inherit the position of Demon God Emperor.
Long Haochen obviously had no idea what the Demon God Emperor was thinking. After the intense surge of emotions earlier, he had completely reconsolidated his confidence. No matter what, he had to keep fighting for humanity. Even if his body contained the Demon God Emperor’s bloodline, he could not shy away from this battle, so humanity could regain control of the continent and break out of the age of darkness that had restrained them for six thousand years. Whether it was killing his direct relative like his father or offering up his own life, he would all be willing.
As a result, Long Haochen became even more resolute. Determination flooded his eyes such that even the Demon God Emperor found it rather unsettling.
Long Haochen could not afford to maintain this stalemate anymore. He let the black hole created from the clash of domains expand and grow beyond the range of his control. With a twirl of his swords, dense, golden light erupted once more.
The black hole between the two of them immediately erupted with Long Haochen backing out. It was only thirty meters in width, but that was because it had not fully expanded under the two domains. Now that Long Haochen had pulled out, the entire black whole exploded completely and the sky immediately darkened.
As the Demon God Emperor maintained his domain, the power of the black hole expanded in Long Haochen’s direction. If Long Haochen was unable to resist the explosive power of the black hole, he would be completely devoured by it.
However, Long Haochen remained calm. In the moment he had pulled out, he had already come up with a way to deal with it.
Pointing the Sword of Eternity forwards, he used the translucent, white ball of light among the three balls of light that revolved around him for the first time. The white light landed on the gemstone on his chest silently and afterwards, Long Haochen vanished.
Without a doubt, the green ball of light represented the representative of the lords of nature, the king of Easton, the seven-coloured ball of light represented the divine gigantic dragon, while the translucent, white ball of light represented the Angel of Eternity.
These three powerhouses that existed within the Domain of Eternity represented the power of nature, the power of the living and the power of stars within the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation.
Now, Long Haochen was using the strongest of them all, the power of stars.
Although it was not the final attack among the three sword techniques of eternity, it was one of the greatest abilities that the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had granted him.
In the moment he vanished, the black hole actually came to a halt.
The Demon God Emperor suddenly experienced a strange sensation, as if Long Haochen had become the sky there. A strange, distorting feeling shocked him greatly due to his cultivation. He erupted with everything he had been hiding before. Dark, blue lightning immediately turned into a shield in front of him.
It was also in the next moment that the black hole in the air actually reversed. Instead of travelling towards Long Haochen, it completely erupted against the Demon God Emperor.
The terrifying power landed on the Demon God Emperor’s domain, which immediately made him shudder. The erupting black hole was completely different from when it was restrained by domains. The Demon God Emperor clearly did not imagine Long Haochen would possess an ability like this, which caught him off-guard.
However, the Demon God Emperor was still the Demon God Emperor. The huge, dark golden dragon behind him rose up and the Demon God Emperor retreated in the face of the black hole.
The black hole expanded extremely rapidly, but it was still slower than the dark golden dragon. The dragon completely blocked the black hole and crushed it inwards, forcefully stopping its expansion and also repaired the ripped space bit by bit.
It was also at this moment that Long Haochen appeared. He appeared where the Demon God Emperor would definitely pass by when he retreated. With the Sword of Eternity pointed at the Demon God Emperor, countless stars lit up simultaneously behind him.
The specks of stars formed the huge image of an angel, which completely filled the sky. Daytime had been completely replaced by night, while the stars gathered together like they were about to light up.
The Sword of Eternity that pointed towards the Demon God Emperor seemed to serve as a guide. The countless specks of stars immediately converged into one, before turning into a huge beam of light that hurtled towards the Demon God Emperor who had lost the protection of the dark golden dragon.
The Demon God Emperor finally became stern. This was the first time he had experienced such a heavy pressure. It was also in that moment that the colossal Devil Dragon Pillar emitted a ripple of dark golden light. It shrank rapidly.
A set of dark golden armour just appeared in the air like that. The Demon God Emperor took a step forward and the armour suddenly turned black. As it fshone with a dark golden lustre, it enveloped his body.
The dark golden armour was so magnificent that it even seemed to surpass Long Haochen’s Armour of Eternity.
A black headband with a dark blue, diamond-shaped gemstone tied up the Demon God Emperor’s black hair as the gemstone flickered with sparks. A neck guard rose up, protecting the Demon God Emperor’s slender, white neck. It continued to extend down, turning into shoulder guards. They were shaped as dragon wings as their two ends rose up in the air. The blackness continued to extend down, where the crests finally gathered on his chest, forming a huge, dark blue, diamond-shaped gemstone.
Sharp, black spines jutted out from his waist. Each spine shone with a strange, dark golden lustre. Some of the spines spiralled downwards, forming the Demon God Emperor’s kilt. Further downwards were dragon scales which protected the Demon God Emperor’s legs.
On the sides of his legs, dragon wings rose up just like his shoulder guards. There were no wings on the Demon God Emperor’s back, but a huge, dark blue cloak. It completely covered his slender figure.
He carried a huge sword on his back. The sword was actually even larger than his body, the blade over two meters long. The hilt was a meter long and the sword was almost a meter wide as well. The huge sword seemed simple, without any fancy adornments. However, how could it have been simple if the Demon God Emperor carried it on his back?
Faced with the final attack out of the three sword techniques of eternity, the Demon God Emperor had finally used the Devil Dragon Pillar to undergo his demon god transformation. Once the armour covered the Demon God Emperor, whether it was Long Haochen or the human and demon powerhouses below, all of them could clearly sense that a pair of terrifying eyes seemed to be watching them.
The Demon God Emperor did not use his sword. When the armour covered his body, his eyes lit up. They were actually the same as the gemstones on his chest and headband. They all shone with dark blue light.
He raised his right hand. Only then did Long Haochen see a diamond-shaped, blue gemstone in the centre of the Demon God Emperor’s gauntlet. It appeared before him as he raised his hand.
The dark, blue gemstone suddenly lit up and afterwards, a barrier of light created from a mixture of dark blue and dark golden colour appeared fron his hand. The barrier formed a hemisphere, only protecting the Demon God Emperor from the front.
Boom!
In the next moment, the entire sky turned white. The dense power of stars made the Starry Sky Holy Knight Yang Haoyue to raise his head in surprise. His Star Domain was immediately influenced by it, growing in power and forcefully tearing a ninth step Moon Demon to pieces.
The white sky shocked all the demons as well as their might decreased rapidly. Even the Moon Demon God and Star Demon Gods had to pull back, knocking away their opponents while looking at the sky.
