Chapter 870: The Final Battle (III) (1/2)

But now that all the problems had been problems had been resolved, what Haoyue faced was death. It would leave this world forever. It would leave Long Haochen.

Long Haochen’s heart was in intense agony. The indescribable pain made him tremble uncontrollably. Even if he had died, he did not want Haoyue to leave him forever!

Memories began to flash through his head.

Ever since he met Haoyue for the first time on the Knights’ Sacred Mountain, when he used his own blood to change Haoyue’s element, their fates had become connected.

Little Light appeared. Haoyue possessed two heads and had become his best companion.

As Long Haochen grew, Haoyue had always accompanied him, growing with him. Gradually, Haoyue’s third head, Little Green, grew out, followed by Little Blue with the butterfly-shaped horn. Afterwards was Little Purple, Little Yellow, Little Gold and Little Thunder. Haoyue would grow whenever Long Haochen grew himself.

Before today, Long Haochen had never suspected anything would happen to Haoyue, because Haoyue had always used its own power to protect Long Haochen, constantly assisting him in advancing forwards.

There was nothing wrong with Long Haochen’s trust in Haoyue. Even when it completely awakened and became the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, it was not Haoyue betraying Long Haochen. During the entire time, Long Haochen had been the person closest to Haoyue in his entire life! It was the same for Long Haochen. Haoyue had accompanied him as he grew, granting him even greater power. Yet, in this moment, Haoyue was actually dying because of him. How could Long Haochen accept this?

The Purplish Gold Haoyue Armour gradually vanished into the air. What replaced it was endless pain in Long Haochen’s heart. He desperately tried to grab the wisps of purpleness, but the purple light would only slip through his fingers.

“Haoyue, Haoyue!” Long Haochen called out loudly. However, there was nothing he could do now.

Finally, when the final strand of purpleness departed from his body, Long Haochen swayed and collapsed on the ground with a pale face. Haoyue had left. It felt just like his heart had been completely emptied out.

It was also at this moment that a gentle calling suddenly awakened Long Haochen from his sorrow. He raised his head and looked at the sky.

A purple figure gradually condensed out of light. Wasn’t that Haoyue?

The current Haoyue only had eight heads. Austin Griffin’s soul was not present. The eight heads, the eyes of different colour, all looked at Long Haochen gently, as if it was telling him something.

“Haoyue, don’t leave me,” Long Haochen called out. He wanted to lunge over.

But in that moment, Haoyue’s body suddenly became illusionary in the air. It gradually condensed into its centre as a purple swirl, before turning into a small, purple symbol that flew towards Long Haochen, landing in the centre of his forehead.

Long Haochen’s body shuddered in the air. When he fell back to the ground, he had completely fallen unconscious. The nine purplish golden markings on his forehead gradually vanished as well.

In the end, the nine markings turned into a tiny symbol there, before slowly vanishing into Long Haochen’s skin.

Haoyue’s figure and aura completely dispersed in that moment. Not a single trace remained.

Cai’er caught Long Haochen’s falling body. Her face was also covered in tears. She understood Long Haochen and Haoyue’s feelings for each other just too well. Haoyue’s death was just far, far too traumatic for Long Haochen. Fortunately, he was still alive. Her man was still alive. It was about time that everything ended.

Looking at the unconscious Long Haochen, the Demon God Emperor raised his hand and waved it at Bai Yue.

With a flash, Long Xingyu appeared in front of Bai Yue. He glared at the Demon God Emperor with red eyes, “What else are you trying to do?”

The Demon God Emperor smiled indifferently, “Long Xingyu, while I do look down on you very much because of what you did in the past and I’m not particularly willing to accept you as my son-in law, but you were willing to block that attack for Haochen earlier, so you’re still a man with some responsibility. Everything’s over. I just want to talk with my daughter a little.”
