Chapter 815: Stand-off at the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass (III)

Long Haochen remained standing there, but around him, a giant’s figure was produced before the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation. The figure stood over five hundred meters tall. It was Long Haochen. Even though it was just a projection, the moment the huge figure sat down on the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, everyone from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, regardless of vocation, performed the most courteous solute towards Long Haochen. Enthusiasm replaced their fear.

The demons have their invincible Demon God Emperor, but we humans have the Divine Knight of Leadership and Glory, chairman Long Haochen!

By releasing the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, Long Haochen had revived the morale of the mountain pass, which also increased at an astonishing rate.

As if it was stimulated by the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation’s aura, the Demon God Emperor’s Devil Dragon Pillar suddenly shone brightly with golden light. It also gradually expanded under the golden light, only stopping upon becoming the same size as Long Haochen’s figure.

A huge, dark golden dragon appeared behind the Demon God Emperor, turning into a huge dragon’s throne that was even larger than the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation to hold the Demon God Emperor’s body.

“You really have surprised me with your growth rate. Failing to kill you in the battle five years ago was my greatest mistake.” Despite being over two dozen kilometers away, the Demon God Emperor’s voice remained clear, like he was just beside Long Haochen.

Long Haochen said indifferently, “A mistake’s a mistake. I’ve heard that the Star Demon God Vassago’s once prophesied that it was your only opportunity to deal with me. Having failed, it means that your Demon race will decline. Aren’t I right?”

The Demon God Emperor’s expression changed and his reply also halted for a moment. Vassago’s Great Prophecy Technique was one of the greatest secrets of the demons, so how did Long Haochen know? Even most demon gods had never heard about it before.

“The Demon race will decline just by you?” Fengxiu sneered. He did not retort Long Haochen. As the Demon God Emperor, he was always disdained to lie. However, for some reason, he felt a sense of unease after being reminded by Long Haochen. Yeah, didn’t Vassago say that time that this was their only opportunity in deal with Long Haochen and if they missed this opportunity, Long Haochen would definitely grow to become a threat to the entire race?

“Just by me,” Long Haochen answered the Demon God Emperor with utmost confidence. He clearly could not show any weakness at a time like this.

Fengxiu suddenly smiled,’ Very good. You really are the youngster who’s caught my eye. Whether it’s my race or your humans, there probably won’t be anyone who can exceed your talent and luck among your generation. You really have become a threat now.”

Was the Demon God Emperor praising Long Haochen? Despite being enemies, the human powerhouses from the mountain pass could not help but feel somewhat proud after hearing that. This came from the Demon God Emperor! An invincible existence, the greatest powerhouse of the demons.

“It’s not up to you to judge whether I’ve become a threat or not. Since this holy war is unavoidable, I believe this will be the war when we humans turn the situation around,” Long Haochen said coldly.

The Demon God Emperor smiled indifferently, “I’ve praised you from the bottom of my heart. You really are outstanding, but you are still too young. I can kill you once, so I can kill you another time.”

Long Haochen suddenly widened his eyes and a cold gaze shot out. The huge figure immediately appeared extremely threatening, like a drawn bow, ready to erupt with the most powerful attack at any time.

“You are welcome to try it right now.” As Long Haochen said that, he stood up from the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation.

He had actually taken the initiative to provoke the Demon God Emperor? Let alone the human powerhouses of the mountain pass who had leapt in fright, even the other nineteen demon gods in the distance were left at a loss. Long Haochen was just too arrogant, to actually provoke the Demon God Emperor.

However, the Demon God Emperor did not become angered. He did not seem to be thinking of fighting. He smiled, “You have more bark than bite. I say you can’t, which means you can’t. You have surprised me by defeating Ah’Bao, but the difference between us is still tremendous. Since I’ve seen you here, you’re already mine. However, I don’t actually want to kill you. I’d like to ask you a question. Is Austin Griffin still alive?”

Long Haochen smiled. His smile was rather disdainful, “If you’re so confident in being able to kill me, what’s there to be afraid of? Of course Haoyue is alive. It’s living well.”

The Demon God Emperor smiled as well, “It seems like you’ve already answered me. That’s right, I can’t deny it. Austin Griffin does pose a huge threat to us demons. However, it is bound to you by a blood pact. You’ve already died, so how can it still be alive?”

Long Haochen burst out in laughter, “I’m dead? Then who’s standing right in front of you?”

The Demon God Emperor said coldly, “Just an undead.”

Long Haochen shook his head gently, “Your majesty, you are too confident in yourself. Most of the times, it isn’t as you have imagined. Do you have any evidence to say I’m an undead?”

The Demon God Emperor chuckled, “Evidence? Of course not, because you’re no longer an undead anymore. However, you once were one.”

Long Haochen also smiled, “Your majesty’s contradictions really are hilarious.”

The Demon God Emperor shook his head, “No, they’re not hilarious. I can confess to you that whether it’s me or any other demon god, they all fear Austin Griffin. However, your situation has already told me that it really is dead. Back in the Star Demon Pagoda, I shattered your heart and you died. If I’ve guessed correctly, the reason why you are able to stand before him once again is due to some kind of treasure you carried back then which prevented your soul from dissipating. Perhaps, Austin Griffin was not exactly dead back then. Afterwards, you used necromancy to revive yourself. However, you were only an undead at that time, not truly alive. You could maintain your soul, but Austin Griffin could not. It would only grow weaker until death. You’ve become a human once again, because you’ve stolen the remnants of the Goddess of Nature from me. You’ve reconstructed your heart through the power of the Goddess of Nature, but it’s already been five years since I’ve killed you. In those five years, Austin Griffin should be deader than dead.”

Listening to the Demon God Emperor’s detailed analysis, Long Haochen could not help but become surprised. It really was like that! According to the rules of the blood pact mentioned by the Demon God Emperor, Haoyue should have died when he survived using the Heart of Eternity, unless he was not an undead back then. However...

Even he himself did not know what kind of existence he was before his heart had been reconstructed. The wondrous Heart of Eternity created by Elux was no different from a normal person’s head. It did not even affect his cultivation. In that moment, Long Haochen was filled with doubt.

His reaction had verified exactly what the Demon God Emperor said in the Demon God Emperor’s eyes.

“Since Austin Griffin is already dead, then the greatest difference separating us is actually gone.” The Demon God Emperor’s smile grew slightly thicker, “Although your body possesses Austin Griffin’s bloodline, the bloodline will gradually vanish with its death. Since that’s the case, I can give you a chance.”

Long Haochen roused from his thoughts. He seemed to grasp a few matters after the short moment of pondering. Was the Austin Griffin that the Demon God Emperor knew really the same creature as his Haoyue? No, not exactly. The most simple reason was that when Haoyue was still weak, it could survive on the Shengmo Dalu all because of Long Haochen’s blood pact. Long Haochen’s bloodline did not just flow through Haoyue’s body. At the same time, his head that should have been of the darkness element had be changed to light. As a result, everything might have been different now.

Long Haochen’s guess was completely correct. Exactly because of the change in attribute, Haoyue was able to survive, allowing it to gradually recover from its original wounds and evolve once more.

Light and darkness were powers of exact opposite. The Little Light out of Haoyue’s eight heads was basically the closest to Long Haochen, because all of its power came from Long Haochen.

When Elux revived Long Haochen, he used the Heart of Eternity and retained everything human about Long Haochen, so he was not exactly an undead. He was half-human, half-undead at most. The Heart of Eternity was also created from the tremendous power of light by using his physique as a Scion of Light as a foundation. It was the crystallisation of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux’s life’s work.

No matter how great the Demon God Emperor’s cultivation was, his understanding about necromancy was insufficient, nor did he know that the person who had helped revive Long Haochen was a terrifying existence on par to himself. This was why his guess was wrong.

Long Haochen did not correct the Demon God Emperor as he listened to his easy voice and insistence on Haoyue’s death. What he needed the most right now was time. With each passing day, his cultivation would grow by a certain degree. At the same time, the situation at the Southeastern Pass and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass would develop one step further.

It was very unlikely that they could repel the Demon God Emperor and all of the terrifying powerhouses he had brought with him outside the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. His objective was to keep the demon powerhouses busy here, hopefully until the battles at the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass had wrapped up. Once that happened, the Eternal Heroes and powerhouses of the six temples would be able to rush over to assist them. That would be the final moment when he fought the Demon God Emperor to the death.
