Chapter 869: The Final Battle (II) (2/2)

The first temple head of the Knight Temple, the Eternal Hero Xiao Huo began to tremble violently in that moment. He was an undead, so basking in the light brought him intense pain, regardless of how powerful he was. However, in that moment, he choked with sobs instead under the sunlight that grew warmer and warmer.

Even though he did not have tears, he had become more emotional than he had ever been in his entire life.

It was not just him. Every single Eternal Hero, every single human powerhouse present all stared blankly at the sunlight that grew more and more dazzling. However, they would not close their eyes no matter what.

The sun seemed to be telling them that the darkness had all ended. The first rays of dawn had arrived.

The age of darkness that had engulfed the Shengmo Dalu for over six thousand years and finally come to an end. It was all over.

Purplish golden light descended from the sky, landing on the ground softly just like the dazzling sunlight.

From that moment on, he was no longer just a legend. He was a hero of legends and epics. He had finally lead the humans in creating history, breaking out of the darkness, reducing destruction to nothingness.

He was the Scion of Light, the God of Light among the humans, the chairman of the Temple Union, the one in possession of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the Divine Knight of Glory of Leadership, the hero of legends and epics, Long Haochen.

Plop. Long Haochen landed on the ground softly. The armour that Haoyue transformed into did not have a helmet, so everyone could see that Long Haochen’s handsome face was rather pale. He had completely killed Austin Griffin and the humans had finally broken free from the binds of the age of darkness, but there was no joy on his face at all. Instead, there was sorrow.

“Haoyue!” Long Haochen yelled out while choking back sobs.

The eight-headed Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword in his hand had vanished when it landed on the ground. His armour turned into strands of purple light that wafted and flowed away…

Long Haochen pressed his hands on his body, as if he was desperately trying to grab something, but he was unable to. Haoyue’s aura grew weaker and weaker. It gradually dispersed in the air.

There was a flash of dark golden light and the Demon God Emperor appeared five meters away from Long Haochen. The remaining demon powerhouses quickly gathered over, surrounding the Demon God Emperor and protecting their strongest ruler.

However, faint black mist constantly dispersed into the air from the demons, while their auras began to rapidly weaken as well.

All seventy-two demon god pillars had now been destroyed. The foundations of the Demon Race had been eradicated. All of the power from that other realm began to disperse from the demons with the destruction of the demon god pillars. Their cultivations decreased as their darkness and powers from the other realm dispersed. It was not just the regular demons. The same thing even happened to the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu and the Moon Demon God Agares. As a matter of fact, their powers flowed away even more quickly.

Fengxiu’s face was much paler than Long Haochen’s. Dark purple blood constantly flowed from the corner of his lips. When he transformed into the Devil Dragon Sword earlier and unleashed the power of a god, he had actually used all of his power to suppress his darkness element, to prevent any influences over Long Haochen. Moreover, he had to endure and convert the tremendous spiritual energy with the pure power of light that Long Haochen had channeled into the weapon. Just how difficult was that! However, the Demon God Emperor managed to endure all of that, until Austin Griffin was completely destroyed.

Currently, this leader of the demons’ face was filled with relief, as if the great burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He raised his hand to signal all of the demons to fall silent. He just stood there, silently looking at the devastated Long Haochen as purple light gradually flowed from his body.

Haoyue’s aura grew weaker and weaker, while Long Haochen’s face was already covered in tears. He could not even sense the slightest trace of Haoyue’s life anymore.

The God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin, was right. The head of destruction was connected with the eight other heads. In the moment when the eight heads lead by Little Light and Little Flame bit it off, Haoyue had already offered his life to Long Haochen. Unless they allowed Austin Griffin to reattach himself where the wound was, Haoyue’s life would only flow away as time went on.

As the very core of Austin Griffin, it was impossible for the head of destruction to die if nothing attacked it, but Haoyue would definitely die as well upon losing his core!

But in the last moment, Haoyue still used his full power to assist Long Haochen to kill Austin Griffin. This obviously was not because of how much it liked humans, or how much it pitied this realm. It was all just for Long Haochen alone!

The only thing it was afraid of was that Long Haochen would be injured. It was afraid that its master, its brother’s life would be under threat, which was why it used the last of its powers to help Long Haochen nullify all possible problems.
