Chapter 812: The Intelligent Spiritual Stove’s Version of Nature’s Bloom (II)
As soon as the Heaven Startling Slash of the Purple Emperor came in contact with the Nature’s Bloom, it tore through it like it was unstoppable. It bisected the green swirl, both sides blown a hundred meters away from Ah’Bao. The brilliant, purple slash directly shot towards Long Haochen.
In that moment, both Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao could not help but grow nervous. However, despite their cultivations, they were no longer able to interfere with the battle. It would all be up to Long Haochen now.
The Bright Glimmer of Hope could not help but cry out in the distance. At least from what it seemed like, Long Haochen had completely lost the upper hand!
Long Haochen hovered there without moving. The Sword of Eternity had already vanished from his hand and the purple slash was about to land on him.
“No-” Cai’er cried out in despair, but her voice halted half wave through, because the Long Haochen there vanished as a green wisp of smoke.
Only then did they realise that while Ah’Bao’s Heaven Startling Slash of the Purple Emperor had slashed Long Haochen’s Nature’s Bloom in half, the tremendous, green colour had completely intruded his Devil God Domain.
The gentle green light immediately condensed. In the next moment, the sky suddenly cleared up. The Devil God Domain had actually vanished after being suppressed. Even the image of the Devil Dragon Pillar was surrounded by an aura of light.
Green light erupted in the next moment. A strange scene of lushness, teeming with greenery, seemed to unfold in the sky. There were countless plants growing in the sky, blooming and bearing fruits.
All negativity was swept away by the dense vitality. Long Haochen’s companions were the ones who experienced the greatest impression from it. Every single one of them felt like they had returned to the Illusory Paradise, where everything in the surroundings had become greenery teeming with life.
Xiao Huo and Shu Yongxiao looked at each other. They both experienced intense shock as seen through their soulfires.
As it turned out, this was Long Haochen’s true strength! The might that the Nature’s Bloom had erupted with in that instance had probably reached the eighth rank of the ninth step or even higher. Even though he had used the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to achieve that, the supra divine tool was a part of him, so even the supra divine tool was unable to amplify his strength so much. It was Long Haochen’s intelligent spiritual stove that had played a crucial role there.
The Nature’s Bloom had fused with Ye Xiaolei’s power, while the Devil Dragon Pillar in the air gradually faded and shattered.
When Long Haochen reappeared before everyone, Ye Xiaolei’s figure that had been magnified countless times happened to stand behind him. In that moment, Ye Xiaolei’s eyes were misty. She seemed to have seen her homeland again, which also reminded her of when her homeland was destroyed.
Ah’Bao was the son of the Demon God Emperor, so his aura was extremely similar to the Demon God Emperor’s. How could she not assist Long Haochen in delivering this final attack with her full strength?
The green light gradually faded and the dense aura of life all flowed back into Long Haochen’s body, disappearing into the gemstone on his chest in the end. Ye Xiaolei’s figure also faded away.
Ah’Bao was right before Long Haochen. However, he no longer possessed the third of a demon god transformation brought on by the Devil Dragon Pillar. Even most of his natural dragon armour had shattered, as terrifying wounds covered his body, flickering with dim, green light.
Ah’Bao’s gaze was extremely dim, without any light. He still clutched the Purple Dragon Sword of Startling Heaven in his hand, but it was only a third of its original length now.
He had been defeated. Even when he used the Demonic Collapse Technique to increase his strength, he had still been defeated by Long Haochen. He had been defeated by the Nature’s Bloom. The wounds on his body could not be compared to his internal pain.
“Kill me. Kill me!” Ah’Bao suddenly began to roar at Long Haochen. He did not know why Long Haochen was sparing him. He clearly could have killed me earlier, but he did not. Does he want to humiliate me?
With his roar, all of his wounds burst open, Ah’Bao’s body had already been dyed purple by his blood. However, the recovery of the imperial clan of the Devil Dragons truly was powerful. Only seconds after bursting open, the wounds automatically stopped bleeding. However, Ah’Bao’s internal injuries would not heal as easily as that. The backlash from the Demon Collapse Technique was rapidly devouring the very core of his body.
Long Haochen looked at Ah’Bao coldly. He knew that from this moment on, this crown prince of the demons would no longer be able to pose a threat to him. He obviously had his reason for sparing Ah’Bao.
“Last time in the Demon God Pagoda, the Demon God Emperor spared my companions. I will be returning that favour to him right now. When you return, tell the Demon God Emperor that I’ll be waiting for him. The era of darkness which has lasted for six thousand years is about to end.”
As he said that, Long Haochen waved his hand and a great force rammed into Ah’Bao’s body, pushing him away and sending him flying into the distance.
Watching Ah’Bao vanished, Long Haochen’s heart gradually settled down. It had not been an easy victory. As he knocked Ah’Bao away, a streak of blood flowed out from the corner of his lips.
Ah’Bao’s final attack had injured him, but Long Haochen had successfully hidden some of his greater powers at the same time. He was facing against the crown prince of the demons and not the Demon God Emperor. He would rather suffer injuries that lay out all of his trump cards, especially when he had no intention of killing Ah’Bao.
Five years ago, Long Haochen had no idea why the Demon God Emperor did not kill his companions, but it was equivalent to sparing them. If the Demon God Emperor had killed all of them in that moment, it would have been impossible for him to be revived. He would only reunite with his companions in the afterlife. Regardless of the Demon God Emperor’s reason for sparing them, Long Haochen had spared Ah’Bao to return this favour, and to let Ah’Bao tell the Demon God Emperor that the next time they met would be their battle to the death.
What Long Haochen did not know was that Ah’Bao’s body bore the seal of the imperial clan of the Devil Dragons. If he really did kill Ah’Bao, then the same thing that had happened to the Illusory Paradise would have occurred once more.
Looking into the distance, the flames in his heart gradually subsided. Cai’er had already arrived by his side at a certain time. She slapped his shoulder forcefully, before throwing himself into his arms and hugging him firmly.
