Chapter 770: Eight-headed Haoyue (III)
Green light gushed into the air as pillars, before slowly dissipating.
The ground trembled and the forest groaned. Cracks just appeared in the air out of nowhere.
The Demon God Emperor stood among the green pillars of light quietly as he looked at a green, illusory figure in the distance.
“Stop struggling. I’ve already destroyed the Illusory Shrine. The Illusory Paradise will collapse very soon. The fairy dragon has died to my hands as well. Even if you’ve taken away its fairy heart, it’s useless. The fairy dragon’s fairy heart is the best recovery medicine there is; it basically can bring you back from the dead. However, it’s useless to you. I know that you are the god left behind by the Goddess of Nature. It is an honour for you to be able to fuse with me soul.”
The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu’s voice was very gentle. Even though his surroundings were filled with spatials cracks, they did nothing to him. The green figure in the distance became clearer and clearer as the aura of life from the pillars of green life grew weaker and weaker.
“Quit dreaming. Even if I have to blow it up, I won’t give it to you,” Ye Xialei’s cold voice was filled with hatred. Her home had been destroyed and the fairy dragon that had guarded the Illusory Shrine for all these years had been killed as well. Her hatred for the Demon God Emperor had reached the limit.
The Demon God Emperor smiled, “Do you think you can blow up the god? Before me, anything you try is useless. I’m already half a god. Even if you blow up the god, I can reconstruct it and absorb it. I am the one in charge here. You’re just using the spatial cracks that have appeared after the Illusory Paradise has shattered to make some time. I’ve waited for all these years, so I do have the patience to wait a little longer.”
Ye Xiaolei fell silent. She knew that the Demon God Emperor was telling the truth. He was just too powerful. When he had killed the fairy dragon, he actually became in control of everything.
When Ye Xiaolian who slumbered in the Illusory Shrine felt the fairy dragon fall in battle, everything was already too late. The Illusionary Paradise was her home. Her roots were here. She was like a fruit growing on a great tree. If the tree died, then she would only be picked away or she would have to die as well. Without a doubt, the Demon God Emperor had come to pick her.
Can he save me? Ye Xiaoling was filled with sorrow. She did not know either. Even if he had really come, how was he supposed to save her from the Demon God Emperor? The Demon God Emperor was so powerful such that even if the Goddess of Nature was brought back there, she would not necessarily be able to defeat the Demon God Emperor. After all, the Goddess of Nature was not a god adept in battle!
The Demon God Emperor stood with his hands behind his back as he silently felt the aura of life that the Illusory Paradise gave off. His cultivation of spiritual energy had already reached a state where he had returned to simplicity; even though the aura of life conflicted with his darkness, it did not affect him at all.
It was possible to see from high up in the sky that a faint layer of violet-black colour enveloped the entire area fifty kilometers away. No aura could pass through this barrier. As a result, even the nearby Southern Mountain Pass was unable to discover anything going on here. But even if they did find out, so what? Who could stop the current Demon God Emperor?
Looking at the distant horizon, the Demon God Emperor suddenly felt rather agitated, because his emotions actually became momentarily mixed.
Was he really still alive? He thought about this piece of shocking news. Although the Star Demon God had guaranteed a second time that Long Haochen’s aura was already gone, for some reason, his heart continued to weigh heavily after he had heard of this.
Of course, he did not believe Long Haochen was still alive. He knew just too well whether he really did blow up Long Haochen’s heart with that gesture of his finger with his cultivation. It was impossible for any accidents to happen.
Did a necromancer resurrect him as undead?
The Demon God Emperor could help but let a fierce gleam of light flash through his eyes when he thought of that. No matter how much he wished Long Hoachen to die, he still felt a special feeling towards Long Haochen. Only he was able to harm him. If a necromancer really had brought him back as undead, the Demon God Emperor would definitely make him understand the meaning of wishing he was dead. He would make the pain last for a thousand years, tempering his soul until death.
After all, he was that outstanding! When he thought of Long Haochen, the Demon God Emperor felt very helpless. He could even get Austin Griffin to form a blood pact with him. This was no longer something talent could achieve. Although the Demon God Emperor was not familiar with the process involved, he knew that Long Haochen must have succeeded under special circumstances.
If it were not for Austin Griffin, would he be able to persuade him to return to the demons in the end or even become his successor as Demon God Emperor?
Perhaps not. He was just too stubborn. If he had known earlier, he should have taken Long Haochen back to the demons with him the first time he had seen him and begin twisting his thoughts back then. Only then would there be a chance.
Thinking about this, the Demon God Emperor suddenly experienced a relieving sorrow., because he suddenly thought about how when Long Haochen died, he could clearly sense the bloodline that belonged to him flowing through Long Haochen’s body gradually grow thin and die out as well. Even until now, he could not sense it at all.
As the emperor of the demons and the head of the devil dragons, The Demon God Emperor had a very strong connection to his bloodline. For example, Ah’Bao and Leng Xiao remained within his senses. As a matter of fact, the Demon God Emperor could sense as they grew stronger or weaker. The bloodline aura from Long Haochen had already vanished completely.
He was dead after all! However, the news of his appearance was still worth investigating. Perhaps the humans had really allowed the existence of necromancers and let these necromancers use Long Haochen’s body? No, that shouldn’t be the case.
The more he thought, the messier the Demon God Emperor’s thoughts became. However, he was a powerhouse after all. He already had a foot planted on the level of god. He calmed down very soon and returned his focus back to the situation before him.
He had waited for this day for a very long time now. Ever since his cultivation broke through a million spirit energy, he had been searching for a god. Only by borrowing the god could he completely remove the backlash of god that he suffered, and thus become a true god that was not bound to this realm. Once that happened, nothing could restrain him, so to him, this was an important opportunity. Even if the humans of this world cultivated to a million spiritual energy, they would only become god by themselves and upon doing so, their minds would gradually disperse across the world. They would be able to sense everything and govern everything, but they would no longer possess a body, nor could they influence the balance of the world.
However, he was different. The demons came from other realms, which gave him the possibility of ignoring the principles of this world. However, he could not become a god by himself.
Thinking about this, the Demon God Emperor was suddenly overcome by a burning desire. He had to succeed today. Once he succeeded, he would become an unprecedented god of this realm. By then, it would no longer be possible for the humans to keep resisting. After he had unified the world, it might be time for him to return to his original realm. Who knew what it had become now.
The green light gradually dimmed, while the pure and cute Ye Xiaolei gradually appeared from the green light completely. She was a hundred meters away from the Demon God Emperor.
The spatial cracks began to close up and vanish, as the tremendous aura of life silently permeated the vast forest. However, it was unable to break through the Demon God Emperor’s seal.
“What comforting aura of life! Unfortunately, it doesn’t suit me,” the Demon God Emperor smiled and walked towards Ye Xiaolei.
Ye Xiaolei stood there quietly as she stared at the Demon God Emperor coldly. Her soft, white hands became tightly clenched unknowingly, as she bit her bottom lip gently. She watched the tall, handsome and enchanting figure walk over step by step, while she remained where she was.
The Illusory Shrine was destroyed and the Illusory Paradise was gone. From that moment onwards, she had completely lost her home. When she thought about the reluctance in the consciousness of the fairy dragon before it had died, two droplets of tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
It was gone. It was all gone.
The Demon God Emperor slowly arrived ten meters before her and stopped. He extended his hand towards her, “Come, come with me. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. You just need to want to become my god from the bottom of your heart and I can even leave your memory intact. Come with me. I will let you witness many wonders and marvels. It’ll also give the Shengmo Dalu a true god.”
Ye Xiaolei stared at the Demon God Emperor with her moist eyes. She could see a hint of sincerity in the depths of his eyes. Upon reaching his cultivation, the Demon God Emperor had already let go of all darkness. To him, many things that ordinary people found to be important no longer mattered. The things he wanted had already reached a completely different level.
“I’ve waited for a very long time now. I don’t want to keep waiting. I hope to obtain a god with self-consciousness. That way, I won’t have to be lonely in the future millenia to come. What do you think? Actually, joy and sorrow is only temporary most of the time. Time will dilute it all. Once you have witnessed many different worlds with me, you will end up forgetting the past. Come, come with me. I think you won’t regret it.”
The Demon God Emperor spoke very softly and he maintained a slight smile the entire time. His gaze was filled with gentleness, just like a father calling for his daughter.
Ye Xiaolei’s gaze gradually became lost. Finally, she raised her left foot and took a step forward slowly. Afterwards, she began to walk towards the Demon God Emperor just as slowly.
The Demon God Emperor’s smile grew deeper. Fusing with an obedient god was much easier than one that resisted, and the benefits that it would bring to the stability of his cultivation would obviously be different as well. Of course, everything he said to Ye Xiaolei came from the bottom of his heart. It was all sincere. It was exactly because of that that he was able to confuse her the most. He never treated Ye Xiaolei as a threat in the first place. Once she had merged into his powers, she posed even less of a threat. So what if her consciousness remained?
