Chapter 865: Haoyue’s Counterattack (I)
Long Xingyu and Long Haochen looked at each other. What Long Haochen saw was a light of relief within his father’s eyes. Long Xingyu’s lips even curled slightly into a smile. Even with the protection of the Divine Throne of Doom and Slaughter, it was impossible for him to block Austin Griffin’s attack, let alone the fact that the only reason why he had arrived by Long Haochen side was because he had separated from the divine throne. He was completely unprotected. Under Austin Griffin’s attack, only one fate awaited him.
But in that moment. Long Xingyu happened to be smiling. He did not feel any regret at all. His heart was even filled with joy, because he could finally do something for his son, even if it meant throwing his life away.
“No!” Long Haochen roared as the nine purplish golden markings on his forehead suddenly lit up. It actually allowed him to break free from Haoyue’s restraints immediately. He raised his two arms violently to huge his father, immediately turning around in the air.
Long Xingyu’s smile immediately froze. In the next moment, the purple ball of light landed viciously on Long Haochen’s back.
Boom! Long Haochen’s body violently shook in the air. At the same time when he was hit, he had already pushed Long Xingyu away, pushing him back onto the ground. Without the support of the divine throne, he would not be able to break free from Haoyue’s pressure again.
The Armour of Eternity and Creation flickered with intense white light, while the purple ball of light from Austin Griffin seemed to meld into it in a single moment. A violent rumbling was constantly emitted from Long Haochen’s body. Finally, with a great boom, the Armour of Eternity and Creation became covered in tiny cracks.
If he continued to let the purple light that was filled with the aura of destruction run amok, the supra divine tool would probably be destroyed completely! This was more than enough to demonstrate Austin Griffin’s strength. Just like what the Moon Demon God Agares had said, even real gods were not Austin Griffin’s opponent.
Long Haochen’s body curled up. Including the Sword of Eternity and Creation, the power of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation immediately turned back into thirteen balls of light and was absorbed by Long Haochen. He did not want this supra divine tool to be destroyed. Perhaps at a certain time, it would be his final hope.
Long Haochen erupted at the same time when he stowed the divine throne away. He spread his arms and two streaks of purplish golden light quickly extended along his arms, turning into two heavy swords. They were completely created from his personal spiritual energy. Not only did this spiritual energy possess Haoyue’s aura, it also possessed his most pure power of light. In that moment, they were the most powerful weapons Long Haochen could condense with spiritual energy.
In the next moment, Long Haochen turned into a streak of purple light in the air, directly charging towards Haoyue. All the light on him had completely become purplish golden. The pressure from Haoyue was unable to influence him at all. That’s right, in order to oppose Haoyue, Long Haochen completely ignited the power that belonged to Haoyue within him. Only by using Haoyue’s bloodline could he oppose Haoyue.
After Haoyue gained its ninth head, Long Haochen’s strength had actually increased drastically as well due to the blood pact, but Austin Griffin had suppressed this increase. Now that Long Haochen ignited his own bloodline, this power seemed to be ignited as well, such that his aura was at least seventy percent similar to Austin Griffin’s.
With a flash, Long Haochen arrived before Austin Griffin like a bolt of lightning. He used the Eye of Brahm? right from the start.
A huge, purplish golden vertical eye appeared in the air. Countless streaks of purplish golden light gathered into one, blasting towards Austin Griffin.
Long Haochen had already understood the moment Austin Griffin attacked him. Haoyue was no longer present. It could even be said to be devoured by Austin Griffin. Currently, all that was before him was the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin, who wholeheartedly wanted to destroy everything. He was no longer Haoyue. As a result, he could not allow Austin Griffin to succeed no matter what. He knew he was not Austin Griffin’s opponent, yet he still launched an attack. Long Haochen happened to be extremely calm in that moment, because there was definitely a purpose to his attack.
Austin Griffin frowned, as if he was still rather unwilling to attack Long Haochen. He allowed the attack from the Eye of Brahm? to land on him. He did not even try to dodge.
As the purplish golden light landed on Austin Griffin, all it created was a brilliant haze of light. It failed to harm him at all.
In the next moment, the huge eye turned into a streak of purplish golden light, sweeping past Austin Griffin. It was the second move of the Three Moves of Brahm?, the Fleeting Youth that Long Haochen had partially created himself. Before, he had used this attack to kill the Star Demon God Vassago. Now, he was using it on Austin Griffin.
Austin Griffin remained where he was. Long Haochen’s attacks did not seem to affect him at all. He only frowned as he turned and looked at Long Haochen.
It was also at this moment that a huge, purple figure of light lit up behind Long Haochen. It was a strange hexagram. The hexagram shone with purplish golden light. All of the elements in the air, even including Austin Griffin’s aura, gathered towards the hexagram at an alarming rate. Long Haochen began to shine with intense light, as the tough aura even seemed like it was going to rip his own body to pieces.
Austin Griffin’s expression finally changed and he finally moved. With a flash, he arrived before Long Haochen and planted a palm strike on Long Haochen’s chest.
Long Haochen smiled instead. He had been waiting for this moment. The purple hexagram behind him lit up and the final attack out of the Three Moves of Brahm?, the World’s Ultimate.
The purple hexagram suddenly became illusionary, revolving as it distorted, forming a huge purple swirl. In that moment, the world seemed to lose all colour and everything seemed to merge into one. At the same time, in the world without the rays of the sun, moon and stars, a ball of nine-coloured golden light shot out from Long Haochen’s left wrist, fusing with the purple light, before hurling towards Austin Griffin who was just centimeters away.
Long Haochen was set hurtling towards the ground by Haoyue’s palm strike, landing heavily in a deep pit. However, anyone with discerning senses could tell that Austin Griffin did not use much force against him at all. Although Long Haochen smashed into the ground, he leapt back up in the next moment.
However, Austin Griffin’s situation seemed slightly worse. He was covered in nine-coloured light as a small hole that penetrated his body appeared on his chest.
The attack of the World’s Ultimate combined with the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon pushed all the powers that Long Haochen could unleash to the limit. Before such a strong attack, even the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin, was injured.
However, just when everyone was taken aback by surprise and joy, Austin Griffin’s wound closed up rapidly with a ripple, as if nothing had happened in the first place.
He looked at Long Haochen on the ground coldly, “My master, do you really plan on discarding our ties of companionship? Unfortunately, you’re nowhere close to being powerful enough. I’ve said that in this realm, there is nothing that can threaten me. Do you really think you can manage just by yourself?”
Some misery appeared in Long Haochen’s eyes. He sighed, “That’s true. Of course I can’t harm you with my power. However, you’ve devoured Haoyue’s spirit, so no matter the price, I have to destroy you. You’ve said that I’m the chairman of the Temple Union, the Knight of Glory and Leadership. As the leader of the humans, I must protect the humans. I must protect this realm from you. You can begin, grandfather.”
The Demon God Emperor’s heart shuddered when he heard Long Haochen refer to him as grandfather. He glanced at Long Haochen in some disbelief. What he saw was the determination in Long Haochen’s eyes.
The Demon God Emperor immediately raised the Devil Dragon Sword. With his cultivation as a half-god, Austin Griffin was unable to subdue him using his pressure alone.
It was also in the moment the Demon God Emperor raised his Devil Dragon Sword that he seemed to illuminate the world. The purpleness in the sky finally changed, while Austin Griffin’s expression changed drastically as well. He finally sensed an existence that could threaten him. Afterwards, all the demon god pillars in the distance lit up. With a single movement, the Demon God Emperor immediately vanished, while the dark golden Devil Dragon Pillar expanded at an alarming rate.
It was not just him. Agares did the same, unleashing the power of his own demon god pillar as much as possible. In that moment, the demon god pillars all lit up before the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass and quickly flew into the air. Even the demon god pillars that no longer had demon gods shone as brightly as they could in that moment.
Long Haochen’s attack earlier was not to defeat Austin Griffin, because he knew he did not have that ability. By communicating with the Demon God Emperor through their gazes and their souls, he knew what he needed to do. His attack against Haoyue was to cover the Demon God Emperor, to make enough time for him.
Who would have thought that the humans and demons who had opposed each other for over six thousand years, who were just enemies a moment earlier, would actually work together now. It was exactly beause Austin Griffin had not imagined this that he ended falling into the trap that the Demon God Emperor had prepared.”
