Chapter 849: The Rhythm of Terror and Sadness (II) (1/2)
The influence of the deaths of other ninth step demon powerhouses affected the battlefield in a less significant manner. Coupled with the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God supporting their respective clans, the scales of victory still ended up tipping towards the demons gradually due to their original difference in strength. However, as the differences in strength was not too great and the Star Demon God and Moon Demon God had always been going easy on the battlefield, they were able to achieve a balance.
Three thousand meters in the air, the most important battle between Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor entered another level as well.
When Long Haochen opened his eyes again, it ws the first time he felt he had the power to truly challenge the Demon God Emperor. Before the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation had awakened, he actually did not kow that this supra divine tool had such power.
The Devil Dragon Pillar behind the Demon God Emperor stood like a pillar holding up the sky. Under its influence, the Demon God Emperor’s aura rose to an unprecedented level of terror.
The huge, black sword slowly descended in the air, stopping before the Demon God Emperor. The light from the inscriptions on the sword were gradually withdrawn into the sword. However, the inscriptions remained dim.
The Demon God Emperor’s eyes had become completely dark golden in that moment. He raised his right hand and held the hilt of his sword in a reverse grip. He looked at Long Haochen coldly, “Ever since my spiritual energy surpassed five hundred thousand, I haven’t encountered a single opponent that’s enough for me to use my full strength. Very impressive. As the inheritor of my bloodline, you actually do have the strength to challenge me. Actually, it’s a kind of joy for a powerhouse like me to encounter an opponent like you. Just let me see just what level you can reach and how much strength you can force out of me. This sword is called the Devil Dragon Sword. It originates from a piece of dragon bone from my body. It possesses its current power from being forged for several hundred years in my body. The sword, the Devil Dragon Pillar and I are one.”
As he said that, the hilt of the Devil Dragon Sword revolved around in the Demon God Emperor’s right hand and the blade now pointed upwards. The Demon God Emperor held it in a standard grip, pointing it to his side. The huge sword that seemed disproportionate to his size immediately lit up with a dark, blue light, while the inscriptions of the sword shone with dark golden light.
Long Haochen also raised his right hand and slowly gripped the Sword of Eternity and Creation right before him. In that moment, many wondrous sensations filled his body. It was not powerful, but it made him feel like he could cut through all obstacles and create a miracle.
The nine symbols on the Sword of Eternity and Creation all lit up the moment he gripped the sword, while the lines on Long Haochen’s Armour of Eternity and Creation also seemed to come alive.
His body gave off a noble spirit. Against the Demon God Emperor that had the Devil Dragon Pillar as his background, the noble spirit actually pushed back the aura of darkness from the Demon God Emperor. Not only did it match it evenly, it even showed signs of gaining the upper hand.
The Demon God Emperor’s gaze seemed rather stern. Even though there was only a sliver of aura from the creator god that remained in the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the creator god was still the greatest god who had created the entire world and the countless realms! In a certain sense, a realm was a part of the creator god’s body, while the principles that bounded the entire world were created by the creator god as well.
Even if Long Haochen’s supra divine tool only possessed a sliver of the creator god’s aura, it was still extremely terrifying to any opponent, including a powerhouse like the Demon God Emperor.
The battle began in the next moment, Long Haochen charged forwards first. With a flash of white light, he appeared before the Demon God Emperor in the next moment. Because he wielded the Sword of Eternity and Creation in a reverse grip, he directly flicked it sword upwards.
If someone was watching the battle, they would have witnessed the magnificent scene that Long Haochen had created. A long streak was left behind in the area that Long Haochen had just flashed past. The streak was composed of countless figures of light. These figures of light depicted the sight of nature growing, and even the illumination from the sun, moon and stars.
The Demon God Emperor immediately blocked with his sword and parried Long Haochen’s attack. The two supra divine tool swords had finally clashed under their strongest state.
In the moment the two swords collided, the inscriptions on the Devil Dragon Sword produced a resounding dragon’s roar, while all nine symbols on Long Haochen’s Sword of Eternity and Creation shone brilliantly.
Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor had engaged in close combat once again. However, Long Haochen was no longer the one completely overpowered by the Demon God Emperor.
Clang! With an ear-splitting explosion, Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor were both knocked away. They were actually evenly matched in that clash. None of them managed to do anything to their opponent. However, the Demon God Emperor’s Devil Dragon Sword produced a gentle thrum after the clash, which made the Demon God Emperor’s expression change slightly.
Although it was just a clash and Long Haochen and the Demon God Emperor were unable to determine victory through it, the strength separating the two swords was completely brought to light.
Long Haochen’s cultivation had reached the ninth rank of the ninth step, but he was still not as great as the Demon God Emperor’s one million spiritual energy! However, they were evenly matched. This demonstrated the advantage the Sword of Eternity and Creation possess over the Devil Dragon Sword, while the gentle thrumming from the Devil Dragon Sword demonstrated its weakness.
With a flip of his hand, the Sword of Eternity and Creation was now wielded in a standard grip. He brought his left hand to the hilt as well as he looked at the Demon God Emperor calmly. The gemstone on his chest shone with resplendent green light as the sliver of aura from the creator god immediately erupted.
