Chapter 857: The Eight-headed Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (II)

A huge symbol descended from the sky, landing on Long Haochen. The triangle formed by the three demon gods rapidly revolved as well, preventing Long Haochen from locking onto them.

This was the first time that the Sealing Array of Sun, Moon and Star had appeared on the Shengmo Dalu. This was also the first time that the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God and Star Demon God had worked together. They all knew that as long as the huge sealing symbol landed on Long Haochen, he would be dead for sure. Even gods would die to it, because the sealing array itself was something created to target gods. It was also called the God-slaying Array.

The seventy-two demon gods did not belong to this world. So what was the reason for their appearance in this world? Only the demon gods themselves knew. After six thousand years of evolution, the demon gods ranked lower down might have forgotten what had happened in the past, but the Demon God Emperor, Moon Demon God and Star Demon God who ranked in the top three knew it as clear as day.

The three demon god pillars appeared in the air when they began revolving. They connected to the sun, moon and star in the air, while the descending symbol shone brighter and brighter as well.

But it was also at this moment that the purplish golden light and translucent white light became brighter than ever before. Long Haochen’s flickering figure locked onto the Star Demon God Vassago first.

The Moon Demon God Agares’ cultivation might had been greater than Vassago’s, but Long Haochen had always feared the Star Demon God the most after the Demon God Emperor. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the trap in the Star Demon Pagoda originated from the Star Demon God.

Vassago was not afraid at all, because he refused to believe that Long Haochen could still possess the power to attack the three of them while located within the Sealing Array of Sun, Moon and Star. He had once personally experienced this terrifying pressure. The array had once kill real gods in the world where the demons came from as well! Long Haochen was very powerful, but Austin Griffin had yet to awaken fully after all. Long Haochen was nowhere close to becoming a god either.

Long Haochen’s Armour of Eternity and Creation even began to produce sounds of breakage as the descending symbol grew closer and closer. Although this was false, in that the armour was not actually breaking, it was more than enough to demonstrate just how great the pressure within the array was.

However, Long Haochen continued to lunge towards Vassago without any hesitation at all, as if the revolving triangle failed to get in the way of his judgement at all. In the next moment, Vassago suddenly felt an indescribable sensation of coldness engulf his body.

No, this was impossible.

Indeed, even something that Long Haochen himself felt was impossible happened.

There was a flash and the orangey-red star in the sky suddenly dimmed. Long Haochen who had been trapped in the triangular array immediately vanished as well.

He had passed by Vassago just like that, silently appearing over three hundred meters behind Vassago. It was beautiful with how it only took up a split second. He also appeared over three hundred meters outside the array.

The Demon God Emperor was stunned, Agares was stunned, while Vassago’s face remained in disbelief, just like before.

He murmured to himself, “My prophecy’s right. It wasn’t wrong. The Heavenly Wrath has already descended upon us. I- I…”

His voice halted there. Vassago’s originally young appearance began to age at a shocking speed. In the blink of an eye, he had become wrinkled with white hair. When his final shred of vitality vanished, he actually turned into dust and vanished then and there. Only his demon god crown produced a flash and merged into his demon god pillar as a speck of starlight.

All of the human powerhouses who had witnessed this could not help but gulp. At the same time, indescribable shock flooded their faces.

W- what kind of strength was that! Was their chairman still human? Using his own strength, not only did he remain entangled against the Demon God Emperor the entire time, he had even killed the Star Demon God instantly while being surrounded by the Demon God Emperor, the Moon Demon God and the Star Demon God. He had successfully broken out of the three demon gods’ array.

Could a human really achieve that? However, regardless of what they believe, the Star Demon God Pillar in the air gradually dimmed, which demonstrated the true death of Vassago.

With Vassago’s death, unprecedented fear appeared in Fengxiu and Agares’ eyes. It was also at this moment that the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword in Long Haochen’s hand shone brightly with purple light. A devastating aura suddenly erupted from the sword. What Long Haochen failed to notice was a grey flash between the eight heads that formed the sword guard.

His attack that had claimed Vassago’s life came from Xiao Huo. It was the second move out of the three moves he had learnt from Xiao Huo. It was called Fleeting Youth.

The move was originally called Fleeting Flory, but Long Haochen merged it with his domain technique of being able to control life, forming a move that was more suitable for him. As a result, he changed the name to Fleeting Youth.

The Star Demon God had died because his youth had instantly vanished. However, Long Haochen never thought his battle prowess could reach such a level. It did not seem to be power that belonged to him.

When he used Fleeting Youth earlier, he could clearly sense that the Sword of Eternity and Creation in his left hand did not unleash much power at all. All of the might of the attack basically came from the Purplish God Haoyue Sword. Haoyue and he were mentally linked, so Haoyue would obviously understand techniques he knew. Such a perfect attack could be described as the strongest attack Long Haochen had launched in his life so far.

Instinctively, the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword swept through the air and its terrifying purple light that possessed an arua of destruction filled the entire air.

WIthout the Star Demon God’s support, the huge symbol that descended from the air before began to collapse. When the purple light from Long Haochen’s swing landed on it, the terrifying explosion almost ripped up the entire sky.

Fengxiu and Agares basically descended from the sky immediately, landing on the ground. At that moment, both of their eyes actually displayed some despair.

That’s right. The peak powerhouses of the demons who had reigned over the continent for over six thousand years was actually experiencing despair right now.

Long Haochen was currently in no mood to think about how his power had become so great. He chose to pursue the Demon God Emperor with basically no hesitation at all.

At the end of the day, his impression of Agares was still rather positive. If it were not for the timely information that Agares’ organisation had provided to the Temple Union, it was impossible for them to achieve such a great victory over the battles of the Southeastern Fort and the Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, nor would Long Haochen have been able to control the entire pace of the holy war. Moreover, the death of the Demon God Emperor was critical to this holy war. If the Demon God Emperor died, the holy war would end. It would also mean that the age of darkness over the Shengmo Dalu would finally end!

Long Haochen turned into a purplish golden streak of light in the air and immediately descended. In that moment, all of the powerhouses, whether demon or human, were basically at the edge of their seats. They all held their breaths.

The demon powerhouses were in utter shock, while the human powerhouses were ravishing in joy and disbelief.

Was the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu just about to die like this?

It was also at this moment that an aggrieved scream rang out from the walls of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, “No, you can’t kill him.”

The battlefield was very large. Several hundred ninth step powerhouses fought there. Spanning several dozen kilometers from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, all of it was their battlefield. However, the battlefield had fallen silent in that moment because of Long Haochen’s pursuit of the Demon God Emperor. It was also because of the hoarse scream that the silence was broken.

If it was just a simple scream, it definitely would not have been able to impact Long Haochen’s decision. However, the voice was just far, far too familiar to him. At the same time, when the owner of the voice screamed out, she leaped off the walls of the Dragon Resisting Mountain pass.

No matter how great of a leader Long Haochen was, he was still a normal human at the end of the day! Killing the Demon God Emperor was definitely important, but to him, his mother’s life was far more important.

The purplish golden streak of light immediately changed direction in the air, catching the white figure that had leaped off the walls with great precision. It brought her to the ground slowly.

Indeed, the hoarse scream had stopped Long Haochen from killing the Demon God Emperor. It was Bai Yue who had returned to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.

When Bai Yue saw Long Haochen become surrounded by the three demon gods, her eyes were already filled with despair. However, the battlefield was always unpredictable. In the moment before, her son was in great danger, but in the next moment, he broke out and possessed a complete advantage over his opponents.

Bai Yue knew very well that she should not have screamed out. She should have watched Long Haochen kill the Demon God Emperor. However, her feelings that had been suppressed in her heart for several decades all erupted in that moment. When she produced that scream, she had already lost all rationality. Her face was already covered in tears. When she produced that scream, she was no longer able to endure the pain in her heart, so she leapt off the walls.

Long Haochen caught his mother, but his mother’s eyes were closed tight. His extremely firm beliefs began to waver in that moment. The words that the Demon God Emperor had told him before the battle began to gnaw on his head like an insect. In that moment, no matter how powerful Long Haochen was, he could not help but tremble gently.
