"Hmph!"
The frantically fleeing Lord Demonheart naturally sensed the nine towering arrows behind him, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of fear.
His invulnerable form might not be of much use to Cheng Hao, but when faced with the attacks of the other major powers of the Three Realms, he truly didn't care at all. He was the Lord of the Demonheart, a stray dog, but not just any attack would be able to harm him.
His body transformed into a black river as he fled at high speed. Lord Demonheart didn't even try to block the nine arrows coming at him from behind. He simply allowed them to pierce through his body. The river flowed, and the nine arrows easily passed through it. Moments later, they pierced through Lord Demonheart's chest and flew off into the distance.
If you used a saber to break water, it would flow even faster. Arrows pierced through the water without leaving a single trace behind.
Slash slash slash. Lord Demonheart's face changed dramatically as a look of terror appeared on his face. The place where his chest had been pierced through by the arrows was suddenly being eaten away by a surge of mysterious power, causing the water droplets to evaporate into nothingness.
"Impossible. Impossible." A look of terror appeared on Lord Demonheart's face. "I've mastered my Revolving River and have an invulnerable form. Haotian's attacks are comparable to a World-level expert's. It's one thing for him to be able to injure me, but how is it that others are able to injure me as well?"
Lord Demonheart felt as though his worldview was about to shatter. He had just left the Three Realms, but he had already suffered a series of blows. The current Three Realms gave him an extremely unfamiliar feeling. It was as though peerless experts were hidden everywhere!
These nine arrows were known as the Godslayer Arrows. This was a secret art which the Heartforce Cultivator Houyi had created. It was a technique which could kill a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of his own. After the arrows struck the enemy, a special connection would be formed between the two parties' divine power and Primal Divinities, causing the two parties to constantly wear down each other's energy.
Heartforce Cultivators would use up their own divine power and Primal Divinities, but their enemies would use up even more divine power and Primal Divinity energy. Only when one party died would the connection disappear. This was a secret art which would never rest until one party died.
After being pierced by nine Skypiercing Arrows in a row, the black river formed by the Lord of the Demonheart began to shrink. As for Houyi, the one who had unleashed the arrows, his face was ashen. His entire body was drenched in sweat, and his aura was rapidly weakening.
Upon seeing Lord Demonheart being stopped by Houyi's Godarrows, Cheng Hao no longer hesitated. He transformed into a streak of golden light that streaked through the skies in a dazzling arc. In a few breaths' worth of time, he caught up to Lord Demonheart's speed..
"I don't want to die! I don't want to die!!! "
Lord Demonheart....... Lord Demonheart's's.............................................................
"Ahhh! I can't accept this! I can't accept this! I can't accept this! "
Lord Demonheart had completely lost his mind. He could sense Cheng Hao's Undying Emperor's Fist behind him, and the despair in his heart drove him insane. He'd waited for countless years, spent countless thoughts, and finally obtained his freedom. Now, the day of his freedom would be the day of his death. How could he accept this?
BOOM!
The Undying Emperor's Fist glowed with tri-colored lotus light. As Lord Demonheart roared with fury, it finally slammed into the black river he'd transformed into. Instantly, waves rose into the air, transforming into a black mist that was instantly vaporized into nothingness by the terrifying fist light.
"I can't accept this …. Back then, Nüwa was suppressing me. Now, you, Haotian, have joined us. I can't accept this …."
As the Lord of the Demonheart murmured resentfully, the black river completely vanished. Not a single trace of it remained. Aside from the trillions of kilometers of space which had been shattered by Cheng Hao's punch, as well as the crumbling planets of the Three Realms, everything was now completely silent.
Nüwa's camp and the Seamless Gate's camp both came to a halt. Now that the instigator of the calamity, Lord Demonheart, was dead, what was the point of continuing to fight?
The members of the Nuwa Alliance stared silently at the figure who stood there in midair, his entire body wreathed in golden light. He looked down upon the Three Realms with disdain, as if he was a sovereign of the world.
As for the Seamless Gate's forces, they were completely silent. The Lord of the Demonheart, whom they both loved and hated, had died. He had died at the hands of the former Lord of the Celestial Court, the current Emperor Clearsky. They could already foresee the future. The fate of the Seamless Gate would most likely be an abnormally tragic one.
"Perhaps this is fate." Lord Windfiend sighed softly.
Lord Demonheart had stirred up all of this in the dark, causing Lord Windfiend, who stood aloof from worldly affairs, to feel rage in his heart. But after all, they were already at odds with Nüwa's camp. There was no turning back, and all they could do was follow Lord Demonheart in annihilating the Nüwa's camp.
But now, Lord Demonheart was dead. He was truly dead. He'd survived the war that ended the ancient times, but now he was dead.
Last time, he'd been able to fuse with the Heavenly Dao. But now that he'd escaped from the Heavenly Dao, there was no way the Heavenly Dao would allow him to fuse with it again. Therefore, there was no way he could escape from Emperor Haotian's punch that could even shatter the Three Realms.
"Emperor!"
Taking advantage of the temporary pause between the two camps, Lord Windfiend avoided Lin Xi and stood in the void, looking at Emperor Haotian who'd descended upon the Three Realms.
"Your Majesty, the outcome of this battle is very clear. This calamity is caused by the inner demon in order to escape from the Heavenly Dao.
As for the Heavenly Dao of the Three Realms … the reason why it intentionally lured us in is because there are simply too many living beings. We've already suffered quite a few casualties in this battle, and the burden on the Three Realms has probably lessened significantly. As I see it … let's call a truce. "
"Call a truce?" Elder God Gonggong of Nüwa's camp was the most impatient of them all. He immediately barked coldly, "Are you telling me that the Seamless Gate still wishes to return to the Three Realms?"
"The Three Realms is the home of the Seamless Gate." Lord Windfiend sighed, then turned his gaze back to Cheng Hao. "Emperor, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Standing in midair, Cheng Hao exchanged a glance with Three Purities, Tathagata, and the other major powers, then waved his hand.
"We'll talk about the Seamless Gate later. Right now, let's deal with the other threat first!"
With that, white light began to emanate from Cheng Hao's left eye. His gaze came to rest on a certain spot in the void, quietly staring at the empty skies. He seemed to be able to see something that ordinary people wouldn't be able to see.
"Old Man Yuan, you've been watching for quite some time. It's about time for you to show yourself, right?"
With that, an old man dressed in long white robes slowly walked out of the void, a complicated look on his face as he stared at Cheng Hao.
