Chapter 868: The Final Battle (I) (2/2)
Compared to Agares, the Demon God Emperor had an advantage as a half-god. While his wounds were extremely heavy such that he bled from all the apertures of his head, he still managed to climb out of the deep pit in the ground. He basically stood up at the same time as Long Haochen.
Currently, the Demon God Emperor’s eyes were filled with disbelief. He looked at Long Haochen beside him, “Why would this happen? Why would this happen to Austin Griffin?”
Long Haochen raised his head to look at the intense battle between the nine heads. He murmured, “He’s not just Austin Griffin. He’s also my Haoyue! Haoyue is my brother, my companion. My suicide attempt seemed to have awakened their consciousness. Haoyue’s returned. I want to help him. I’m going to help him.”
As he said that, Long Haochen rose up once again. However, the Demon God Emperor grabbed him by the shoulder with a flash.
Long Haochen looked back at the Demon God Emperor. They were grandfather and grandson, looking each other in the eyes. This was the first time they had looked at each other from so close without any hostility.
At this moment, when all the demon god pillars were destroyed, Fengxiu actually smiled. His smile was one of relief, as well as one of indescribable liberty.
“I’ll help you.”
As he said that, the dense aura of darkness on Fengxiu quickly subsided. With a flash, he turned into a ball of dark golden light, hovering before Long Haochen. Surprisingly, this was the Devil Dragon Sword. However, the Devil Dragon Sword no longer depended on the Devil Dragon Pillar. Instead, it came from Fengxiu’s body. What shocked Long Haochen even more was that he could not sense any aura of darkness from the Devil Dragon Sword at all. In particular, there did not seem to be any element at all about the hilt.
There was no time for hesitation or thought. Long Haochen did not have a weapon he could use. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was heavily damaged by Austin Griffin, so it could not be used anymore. Even though it could repair itself, it would take a very long time before it recovered the powers of a supra divine tool.
Raising his hand, Long Haochen gripped the Devil Dragon Sword firmly and raised his head at the sky once again. The dense aura of light combined with the power of Haoyue’s bloodline immediately covered his body in a layer of purplish golden flames. The six wings of his back flapped hard and Long Haochen took off into the sky with the Devil Dragon Sword that Fengxiu had transformed into.
“Will doing this bring you any benefit at all? If I die, you will die as well,” Austin Griffin roared out in a panic.
Dense, grey light surged in the air. There was an ear-splitting rip and Austin Griffin’s head of destruction had actually been forcefully ripped from the centre under the combined effort of the other eight heads.
The grey light immediately drifted off into the distance. At the same time, its colossal body shrank at a surprising rate.
Its head of destruction had been ripped off, but it clearly would not just die like that. It was where the soul of the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin, lay!
As the huge, grey head rotated in the air, it quickly assumed a human form. It was just like before, similar to Long Haochen, but his body no longer had any purple colour anymore. All that was left was a greyness filled with the aura of destruction.
After biting off the huge grey head, Haoyue’s eight heads all seemed extremely exhausted. Under the full-blown attacks of the power of destruction, each of their mouths bled with blood coloured the same as their elements. However, the light in its eyes were still so determined and resolute.
“Brother, don’t let him escape. Kill him.” Haoyue’s voice rang out from the bottom of Long Haochen’s heart. In the next moment, its colossal body turned into a purple streak of light as it charged towards Long Haochen. At the same time, the purple light that had stopped the destructive elemental storm immediately withdrew, forming a huge purple bubble, enveloping Long Haochen and Austin Griffin.
The dense, purple light from Haoyue immediately engulfed Long Haochen, dyeing him purple all over. This was fusion, a fusion between Haoyue and Long Haochen. Indescribably tremendous power filled every pore in Long Haochen’s body as a magnificent purplish golden armour covered Long Haochen’s body.
The purplish golden armour was rather similar to the Armour of Eternity and Creation from before. However, its colour was much more gorgeous and dazzling. There were also many places that differed from the Armour of Eternity and Creation.
Firstly, the purplish golden armour did not have a sculpting of an angel and a dragon. What it did have was Haoyue’s eight heads in metal.
On the two shoulders were Little Thunder and Little Gold, while on the chest was Little Light and Little Flame, covering the left and right side respectively.
