Chapter 865: Haoyue’s Counterattack (I) (2/2)
It was also at this moment that a huge, purple figure of light lit up behind Long Haochen. It was a strange hexagram. The hexagram shone with purplish golden light. All of the elements in the air, even including Austin Griffin’s aura, gathered towards the hexagram at an alarming rate. Long Haochen began to shine with intense light, as the tough aura even seemed like it was going to rip his own body to pieces.
Austin Griffin’s expression finally changed and he finally moved. With a flash, he arrived before Long Haochen and planted a palm strike on Long Haochen’s chest.
Long Haochen smiled instead. He had been waiting for this moment. The purple hexagram behind him lit up and the final attack out of the Three Moves of Brahm?, the World’s Ultimate.
The purple hexagram suddenly became illusionary, revolving as it distorted, forming a huge purple swirl. In that moment, the world seemed to lose all colour and everything seemed to merge into one. At the same time, in the world without the rays of the sun, moon and stars, a ball of nine-coloured golden light shot out from Long Haochen’s left wrist, fusing with the purple light, before hurling towards Austin Griffin who was just centimeters away.
Long Haochen was set hurtling towards the ground by Haoyue’s palm strike, landing heavily in a deep pit. However, anyone with discerning senses could tell that Austin Griffin did not use much force against him at all. Although Long Haochen smashed into the ground, he leapt back up in the next moment.
However, Austin Griffin’s situation seemed slightly worse. He was covered in nine-coloured light as a small hole that penetrated his body appeared on his chest.
The attack of the World’s Ultimate combined with the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon pushed all the powers that Long Haochen could unleash to the limit. Before such a strong attack, even the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin, was injured.
However, just when everyone was taken aback by surprise and joy, Austin Griffin’s wound closed up rapidly with a ripple, as if nothing had happened in the first place.
He looked at Long Haochen on the ground coldly, “My master, do you really plan on discarding our ties of companionship? Unfortunately, you’re nowhere close to being powerful enough. I’ve said that in this realm, there is nothing that can threaten me. Do you really think you can manage just by yourself?”
Some misery appeared in Long Haochen’s eyes. He sighed, “That’s true. Of course I can’t harm you with my power. However, you’ve devoured Haoyue’s spirit, so no matter the price, I have to destroy you. You’ve said that I’m the chairman of the Temple Union, the Knight of Glory and Leadership. As the leader of the humans, I must protect the humans. I must protect this realm from you. You can begin, grandfather.”
The Demon God Emperor’s heart shuddered when he heard Long Haochen refer to him as grandfather. He glanced at Long Haochen in some disbelief. What he saw was the determination in Long Haochen’s eyes.
The Demon God Emperor immediately raised the Devil Dragon Sword. With his cultivation as a half-god, Austin Griffin was unable to subdue him using his pressure alone.
It was also in the moment the Demon God Emperor raised his Devil Dragon Sword that he seemed to illuminate the world. The purpleness in the sky finally changed, while Austin Griffin’s expression changed drastically as well. He finally sensed an existence that could threaten him. Afterwards, all the demon god pillars in the distance lit up. With a single movement, the Demon God Emperor immediately vanished, while the dark golden Devil Dragon Pillar expanded at an alarming rate.
It was not just him. Agares did the same, unleashing the power of his own demon god pillar as much as possible. In that moment, the demon god pillars all lit up before the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass and quickly flew into the air. Even the demon god pillars that no longer had demon gods shone as brightly as they could in that moment.
Long Haochen’s attack earlier was not to defeat Austin Griffin, because he knew he did not have that ability. By communicating with the Demon God Emperor through their gazes and their souls, he knew what he needed to do. His attack against Haoyue was to cover the Demon God Emperor, to make enough time for him.
Who would have thought that the humans and demons who had opposed each other for over six thousand years, who were just enemies a moment earlier, would actually work together now. It was exactly beause Austin Griffin had not imagined this that he ended falling into the trap that the Demon God Emperor had prepared.”
