Chapter 857: The Eight-headed Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword (II) (1/2)
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.
