Chapter 868: The Final Battle (I)

Due ot the intense pain, Austin Griffin’s colossal body writhed. Its terrifying body was still under the control of the head of destruction, while the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens finally gave way at the same time.

Boom!

Light exploded in the air as the demon pillars collapsed one after another before Austin Griffin’s terrifying power. Its colossal body forcefully broke out of the cage as well.

Just how terrifying was that! It was so terrifying that even with over sixty demon god pillars combined, they were unable to contain it any further. However, Austin Griffin currently faced unprecedented danger. Even when it was sealed within the world of black and red, it had never experienced such a great problem before.

The God of Heavenly Wrath right now was no longer the God of Heavenly Wrath of the past. Little Light’s existence had replaced darkness, while a portion of the blood running through Austin Griffin belonged to Long Haochen. It was the bloodline of the Goddess of Light! The desire for destruction had been diluted by the bloodline. Not only did Austin Griffin’s eight secondary heads possess their own minds and souls before the head of destruction had awakened, they were extremely close to Long Haochen as well! Under these circumstances, how could they just watch Austin Griffin destroy Long Haochen, their master, their elder brother who had given them life and risked his own life for them countless times.

“Brother, don’t die. We’ll help you,” voices appeared one after another in Long Haochen’s head. In that moment, he only sensed that his blood had completely riled up, while his body was enveloped by an indescribable sense of familial love.

Just how touching was it when a person had been saved from the jaws of death by familial love? Long Haochen suddenly bellowed out, “Haoyue, I will fight alongside you.”

As he said that, Long Haochen suddenly leaped up and charged towards the battlefield in the air.

It was also at this moment that the greyness in the eyes of the others heads on Haoyue’s two sides receded. Little Green that represented wind was the third to awakened, followed by Little Blue who represented water with the butterfly-shaped horn. Afterwards was Little Purple with the poisonous, chrysanthemum-shaped horn and Little Yellow who represented earth with the tomato-shaped horn. The last ones to awaken were Little Gold who represented metal and Little Thunder who represented lightning.

The eyes of the eight heads all shone with different colours, but in that moment, they all had a single target, which was the head of destruction in the centre.

Roar! The head of destruction roared violently as it constantly let out breaths of greyness. Its colossal body struggled desperately, destroying even more demon god pillars. However, all of the heads that had recovered lunged towards it, biting the head of destruction’s thick neck. No matter how powerful the head of destruction was, it was actually unable to break free from the combined mauling of the eight heads. Large chunks of flesh mixed with a grey gas was ripped off.

Before Long Haochen had managed to get close, he was blown away again by the terrifying power unleashed by the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens when it finally shattered. He landed heavily on the ground.

But this time, he was not protected by the Armour of Eternity and Creation, so blood immediately spurted out from his mouth when he hit the ground.

Boom! Boom!

Two other figures landed near Long Haochen. All of the demon god pillars had been crushed in the air. The terrifying elemental storm seemed like it had ripped open the entire space there, making the purple sky dark.

If this terrifying storm managed to descend, then let alone the Dragon Resisting Mountain pass, even the Shengmo Dalu would suffer irrevocable damage.

At this moment, the awakening of Haoyue’s consciousness played an extremely important role.

Light of nine different colours poured from the colossal body in the air. Just as the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens was completely destroyed, Haoyue seemed to have gained control over the main body. A dense, purple light was suddenly emitted from its colossal body, forming a huge, purple screen, forcefully blocking out the ravaging storm. It also forced the storm into a gaping spatial crack.

The figures that had landed near Long Haochen were the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu and the Moon Demon God Agares. The six other demon gods who were still alive earlier had all been crushed during the battle of the seal, passing away with their demon god pillars.

Long Haochen could clearly see that while Fengxiu and Agares were still alive, their auras declined at an alarming rate. The destruction of the Devil Dragon Pillar and Moon Demon God Pillar had affected them heavily.

Agares had a relatively weaker cultivation, so his wounds were much worse. He was basically on his last breath. Who knew how many injuries he had. He could just barely maintain his own vitality. However, for a powerhouse on his level, he would not die as long as he still had a breath left. However, with the destruction of the Moon Demon God Pillar, his cultivation would definitely fall drastically even if he managed to survive.

Compared to Agares, the Demon God Emperor had an advantage as a half-god. While his wounds were extremely heavy such that he bled from all the apertures of his head, he still managed to climb out of the deep pit in the ground. He basically stood up at the same time as Long Haochen.

Currently, the Demon God Emperor’s eyes were filled with disbelief. He looked at Long Haochen beside him, “Why would this happen? Why would this happen to Austin Griffin?”

Long Haochen raised his head to look at the intense battle between the nine heads. He murmured, “He’s not just Austin Griffin. He’s also my Haoyue! Haoyue is my brother, my companion. My suicide attempt seemed to have awakened their consciousness. Haoyue’s returned. I want to help him. I’m going to help him.”

As he said that, Long Haochen rose up once again. However, the Demon God Emperor grabbed him by the shoulder with a flash.

Long Haochen looked back at the Demon God Emperor. They were grandfather and grandson, looking each other in the eyes. This was the first time they had looked at each other from so close without any hostility.

At this moment, when all the demon god pillars were destroyed, Fengxiu actually smiled. His smile was one of relief, as well as one of indescribable liberty.

“I’ll help you.”

As he said that, the dense aura of darkness on Fengxiu quickly subsided. With a flash, he turned into a ball of dark golden light, hovering before Long Haochen. Surprisingly, this was the Devil Dragon Sword. However, the Devil Dragon Sword no longer depended on the Devil Dragon Pillar. Instead, it came from Fengxiu’s body. What shocked Long Haochen even more was that he could not sense any aura of darkness from the Devil Dragon Sword at all. In particular, there did not seem to be any element at all about the hilt.

There was no time for hesitation or thought. Long Haochen did not have a weapon he could use. The Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation was heavily damaged by Austin Griffin, so it could not be used anymore. Even though it could repair itself, it would take a very long time before it recovered the powers of a supra divine tool.

Raising his hand, Long Haochen gripped the Devil Dragon Sword firmly and raised his head at the sky once again. The dense aura of light combined with the power of Haoyue’s bloodline immediately covered his body in a layer of purplish golden flames. The six wings of his back flapped hard and Long Haochen took off into the sky with the Devil Dragon Sword that Fengxiu had transformed into.

“Will doing this bring you any benefit at all? If I die, you will die as well,” Austin Griffin roared out in a panic.

Dense, grey light surged in the air. There was an ear-splitting rip and Austin Griffin’s head of destruction had actually been forcefully ripped from the centre under the combined effort of the other eight heads.

The grey light immediately drifted off into the distance. At the same time, its colossal body shrank at a surprising rate.

Its head of destruction had been ripped off, but it clearly would not just die like that. It was where the soul of the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin, lay!

As the huge, grey head rotated in the air, it quickly assumed a human form. It was just like before, similar to Long Haochen, but his body no longer had any purple colour anymore. All that was left was a greyness filled with the aura of destruction.

After biting off the huge grey head, Haoyue’s eight heads all seemed extremely exhausted. Under the full-blown attacks of the power of destruction, each of their mouths bled with blood coloured the same as their elements. However, the light in its eyes were still so determined and resolute.

“Brother, don’t let him escape. Kill him.” Haoyue’s voice rang out from the bottom of Long Haochen’s heart. In the next moment, its colossal body turned into a purple streak of light as it charged towards Long Haochen. At the same time, the purple light that had stopped the destructive elemental storm immediately withdrew, forming a huge purple bubble, enveloping Long Haochen and Austin Griffin.

The dense, purple light from Haoyue immediately engulfed Long Haochen, dyeing him purple all over. This was fusion, a fusion between Haoyue and Long Haochen. Indescribably tremendous power filled every pore in Long Haochen’s body as a magnificent purplish golden armour covered Long Haochen’s body.

The purplish golden armour was rather similar to the Armour of Eternity and Creation from before. However, its colour was much more gorgeous and dazzling. There were also many places that differed from the Armour of Eternity and Creation.

Firstly, the purplish golden armour did not have a sculpting of an angel and a dragon. What it did have was Haoyue’s eight heads in metal.

On the two shoulders were Little Thunder and Little Gold, while on the chest was Little Light and Little Flame, covering the left and right side respectively.
