The Holy War was inevitable, and the war between humans and Demons had just begun.
After a simple sweep of the battlefield, Long Haochen quietly disappeared with his companions at the end of the sky. Including the Black Dragon Guard Commander Huang Shuo, a total of twenty Black Dragon Guards perished in the previous battle.
Long Haochen did not delay for even a moment. He quickly took his companions back to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. At the same time, he let Cai Er, who was the fastest, immediately catch up with the Vanguard Corps in front, ordering them to speed up and rush back to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.
Although the Demons' vanguard was destroyed, Long Haochen's mood was not relaxed at all. This was just the beginning. Yue Ye's information was confirmed to be correct, but it also confirmed the accuracy of her other information. The Demon Emperor was leading nearly two hundred Rank Nine Demons to besiege and kill him. He could only choose to retreat now, quickly return to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, and defend it with the strength of the impregnable pass.
To completely defeat the Demons was not something that could be done in a single battle. What Long Haochen needed was to wait and persevere.
When the Demon Emperor saw A Bao, his face was so ugly that it almost dripped blood.
A Bao's appearance was really too embarrassing. He did not even fly in the sky, but walked on the ground in a daze. At this time, he was like an ordinary human, staggering. The Demon Emperor felt it the moment when A Bao was defeated by Long Haochen. However, the seal on A Bao's body was not opened, so he thought that Long Haochen and A Bao were mutually wounded, because he could not think of any reason for Long Haochen not to kill A Bao.
But when he saw his son walking alone in the wilderness, the Demon Emperor realized that he was wrong. He knew A Bao too well. If A Bao and Long Haochen were mutually wounded, he would definitely not have this expression. He would definitely try his best to heal himself and quickly bring the news to him. But now, he was completely like a walking corpse. On A Bao's face, there was no longer the domineering and confident expression from before. His dull eyes and slow steps made him look like a puppet.
"Pa …" The Demon Emperor slapped A Bao and sent him flying. If it were not for the Moon Demon Agares who hurriedly caught him, his right hand would have slashed down.
A Bao was sent flying tens of meters away by this slap, slamming hard on the ground. He spat out mouthfuls of purple blood and blood clots and directly fell into a coma. The Demon Emperor was also shocked. He naturally knew when to stop. A Bao was his successor, his biological son. The seemingly forceful slap was actually more of a physical force, but A Bao's situation was clearly not that simple!
Without needing the Moon Demon Agares to persuade him, the Demon Emperor's figure flashed and appeared beside A Bao. He waved his right hand at A Bao, and A Bao's body slowly floated in front of the Demon Emperor. A layer of dark purple light enveloped the father and son.
After a moment, the dark purple light dissipated. Agares clearly saw that the dark golden light in the Demon Emperor's eyes flickered three times in an instant. He understood that this was a sign that the Demon Emperor's anger had reached its peak.
For a moment, whether it was the Moon Demon, Star Demon, or the other 20 Demon Gods, they all kept quiet out of fear. They did not even dare to breathe loudly. The Demon Emperor looked at Agares and said in a deep voice, "A Bao is crippled."
"What?" Although Agares had already guessed that A Bao's situation was not good, when the word "crippled" came out of Feng Xiu's mouth, he was still extremely shocked.
A Bao was the Demon Emperor's only heir. Ever since A Bao's cultivation had broken through to the ninth rank, the Demon Emperor had already begun paving the way for his succession.
How could he be crippled just like that? It wasn't just Agares. All the Demon Gods turned pale with fright. The crown prince had left with 20 Black Dragon Guards. Now, he was the only one left, and he had been crippled. Where were the Black Dragon Guards? Could the strongest of the Demons not even be able to protect their Crown Prince? Moreover, A Bao's strength was not weak, but he could not escape unscathed.
"How could this be? His Highness the Crown Prince is connected to you by blood. When necessary, he can borrow your strength! "Agares said in confusion.
Demon Emperor Feng Xiu said coldly, "He sealed the aura connection between me and him. After using the Demon Disintegration Technique, he was still seriously injured. Even if I personally heal him, he will not be able to recover to his previous state for at least 20 years. He will never be able to cultivate to my level in his lifetime, Asmodeus."
"Your Majesty." Among the 72 Demon Gods of the Demons, Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus, ranked 32nd, quickly stepped forward and responded respectfully.
At that time, he had once made Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi suffer a huge loss, and even annihilated their respective Demon Hunt Squads. It was Long Haochen who rescued the two from his hands, but it was also from then on that he began to fall into the trap of the Demon God Emperor and the Star Demon God.
"Bring him back to Heart City, then bring Leng Xiao to see me." As he spoke, the Demon Emperor handed Feng Xiu to Asmodeus. The dark golden light in his eyes flashed again.
Asmodeus carefully took over A Bao. All the Demon Gods present were silent. They understood the meaning of the Demon Emperor's words. This was the end of the possibility of A Bao inheriting the throne. The Demon Emperor only had one son and one daughter. If he brought Leng Xiao here, wouldn't it mean that he wanted her to replace A Bao as the next Demon Emperor's heir?
Indeed, even if Leng Xiao's talent was not as good as A Bao's, 20 years was enough for her to leave A Bao far behind. Moreover, the Demon Emperor's anger was not only because of her strength.
"Father …" Just as Asmodeus was about to turn and leave, A Bao slowly woke up from his coma. After the Demon Emperor's treatment, his injuries had barely stabilized. At least, there was no threat to his life.
Feng Xiu looked at her son coldly and said, "You disappoint me too much."
A Bao's mouth revealed a trace of bitterness. "Father, I lost. I lost to Long Haochen. Even if I used the Demon Disintegration Technique and the power of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Pillar, I still couldn't defeat him."
The Demon Emperor's heart stirred. "Tell me the whole story. Also, where are Huang Shuo and the others?"
A Bao's eyes were hollow. "I don't know where Huang Shuo and the others went. At that time, I only had eyes for Long Haochen. My opponent was also Long Haochen. I released the power of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Pillar …"
"… In the end, Long Haochen asked me to tell you that he was waiting for your arrival. The six thousand years of the Dark Age is about to end. He also said that he didn't kill me because he owed you a favor for not killing his companions in the Star Demon Tower."
The Demon Emperor slowly took a deep breath. The dark gold color in his eyes slowly disappeared. In the depths of his eyes, there was an extremely special fluctuation of emotions, complicated and struggling.
Agares had been silently observing the Demon Emperor. The other Demon Gods didn't dare to disturb him.
After a long while, the Demon Emperor waved at the Dragon Rider Demon God Asmodeus. Asmodeus understood and carried A Bao away. He really didn't want to stay in front of the Demon Emperor for too long. The pressure was too great.
"What a pity." The Demon Emperor didn't get angry. Instead, he let out a sigh.
"Your Majesty, are you feeling pity for A Bao? His Highness the Crown Prince still has a chance to recover. After this war is over, I am willing to do my best to assist Your Majesty in treating the Crown Prince. "The Moon Demon Agares said.
The Demon Emperor shook his head and said, "I'm not feeling pity for him. A Bao's personality is stubborn. His lack of vision of the overall situation has always been his fatal weakness. I wanted to influence him subtly, but he still couldn't get out of his own nightmare. That's why he lost today. He no longer has the qualifications to become the future Lord of Demons. What I'm feeling pity for is that the conflict between me and Long Haochen is completely irreconcilable. Otherwise …"
At this point, the Demon Emperor paused. Agares' body suddenly trembled. He thought of a possibility because he suddenly remembered what the Demon Emperor had said in the Star Demon Tower.
The Demon Emperor waved his hand and said, "Let's go. I want to see how this Long Haochen will end the Dark Age." As he said that, he stepped out of the void and landed back in his dragon carriage. The ones responsible for carrying the dragon carriage were the 32 Black Dragon Guards.
More than a thousand figures set off again. Without the Demon Emperor's orders, their speed increased sharply and they went straight north.
The Moon Demon Agares was worthy of being the second-ranked Demon God. In the process of advancing, he had sent several Moon Devils to the capital of the six northern provinces to control the situation.
It seemed like he was taking power, but everything was given in front of the Demon Emperor, so he appeared to be open and aboveboard.
The Demon Emperor seemed to be completely unaware of all this. He just sat quietly in the dragon carriage, seemingly thinking about something.
Temple Federation, Southeast Fortress, Operations Department.
Qiu Yonghao sat at the head of the table. Although he had passed the position of Warrior Temple Master to Wang Yuanyuan, he was still the one in charge of the Warrior Temple at the moment.
On the left side sat the nine Eternal Heroes, and on the right side sat the powerhouses of the Warrior Temple.
From the way these powerhouses of the Warrior Temple looked at each other, it could be seen that they were extremely respectful to the nine Eternal Heroes. The reason was very simple. These nine Eternal Heroes were all warriors, and the inheritors they had chosen were also in this Southeast Fortress. They were the children of the Warrior Temple's higher-ups. Moreover, among these nine warriors, the highest cultivation base was Rank-9 Level 4, and the lowest was Rank-9 Level 3. Any one of them was an absolute powerhouse in the Warrior Temple.
Through this period of contact, the upper echelons of the Warrior Temple, from Qiu Yonghao down, could be said to be full of admiration for these nine Eternal Heroes. These nine experts of the previous generation had never revealed their identities to them, nor had they participated in any major decisions. They had always obeyed Qiu Yonghao's commands. At the same time, when they were teaching their successors, they were not stingy in passing on their own cultivation and combat experiences to other outstanding young disciples of the Warrior Temple. They were not stingy at all, only passing on some of their unique techniques to their successors.
It was foreseeable that with the teachings of these nine ancestors, the growth of the younger generation of the Warrior Temple would definitely be much stronger than that of Qiu Yonghao's generation. These nine Eternal Heroes had received the highest respect from all the higher-ups.
"The Demon God of Necromancy, Samikina, has led sixteen demon gods and commanded an elite army of five hundred thousand Demons. They are approaching us day and night. According to intelligence, they will arrive at the Southeast Fortress in about three days. Today, I've invited all of you here to discuss the specific countermeasures."
Qiu Yonghao's words made the atmosphere in the Department of War tense up. Although they had long guessed that as the fortress closest to Demonic City, the Demon Emperor would probably make them a priority target, the arrival of the Demon Army still made the higher-ups of the Warrior Temple very nervous.
After all, in the past, the Southeast Fortress where the Warrior Temple was located had received the most attacks. At the same time, it was also the weakest of the six major fortresses. This time, the Demon Army had come in a menacing manner. There were as many as sixteen demon gods. One could imagine how much pressure the Warrior Temple was under.
"Is the information accurate, Lord Qiu?" Among the nine Eternal Heroes, the old man sitting at the head of the table asked in a deep voice.
Qiu Yonghao nodded and said, "The information is very accurate. It was sent by the chairman. At the same time, according to the signs of the intelligence we've received, we've verified it with each other. The reliability of the information is very high. Senior Ye, do you have any suggestions?"
The old man with a cultivation base of level four was Ye Sanmi. He shook his head slightly and said, "We're only responsible for fighting. You can decide the strategy and tactics. However, I'd like to remind you that the current Warrior Temple is a mix of the six major professions. It's different from before. There should be some changes in the strategy and tactics."
"Yes." Qiu Yonghao replied respectfully. He was not afraid of the Undead Demon God Samikina now. Now in the Southeast Fortress, there were more than 100,000 of the six major professions and nearly 500,000 troops. In terms of numbers, they were not inferior to the Demons at all. Even if the Demons were an extremely elite army, the Southeast Fortress had received favorable policies from the Federation after the last Holy War. The defense was built to be stronger than before. There were also nine Eternal Heroes in charge. It was impossible to fight the Demons head-on on the plains, but Qiu Yonghao had great confidence and confidence in defending the Southeast Fortress.
A series of orders were quickly arranged. According to Long Haochen's overall strategic arrangement, if the Southeast Fortress was attacked by the Demon Army, there was only one goal, and that was to defend. That was to delay the Demon Army here and minimize their own losses as much as possible. That was enough.
The same strategic arrangement also appeared in the Wanshou Pass where the Soul Temple was located. The Wanshou Pass did not receive much military support, but the Jialing Pass where the Magic Temple was located had always been the most difficult to break through among the six major fortresses. In addition, after the profession change this time, the Wanshou Pass also had all six major professions. Chen Hongbo also had the support of nine Eternal Heroes. He was absolutely confident. Not only did he want to defend, but he also wanted to counterattack.
With the constant mobilization of the armies of the humans and Demons, the atmosphere of the entire Holy Demon Continent was getting more and more tense.
However, the first battle to break out was not the collision between the two armies, but the top forces of the thousands of Demons commanded by the Demon Emperor.
Relying on their powerful strength, they crossed almost half of the Demons' territory and arrived outside the Dragon Resisting Pass. The Demon Army commanded by the Necromancer Demon God and the Infernal Demon God had not yet reached their respective fortresses.
The Dragon Resisting Pass was already in sight. The Moon Demon Agares came to the side of the Demon Emperor's dragon carriage and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, should we attack immediately, or …"
The Demon Emperor said indifferently: "There is no hurry. Didn't that Long Haochen deliberately lure me here? Alright, I will see him first. Let's find a flat place to set up camp here. "
"Yes." Agares said and quickly conveyed the Demon Emperor's order.
Although the Moon Demon Agares was the second Demon God, he was now like the chief steward of the entire army. The will of the Demon Emperor was completely fulfilled by him.
This place was still fifty li away from the Dragon Resisting Pass.
In the biting cold wind, exquisite tents made of cowhide were quickly set up in the wilderness.
Strength was good, even the speed at which the tents were set up was very fast.
If it was in an ordinary army, a seventh-step powerhouse would already have a very high status. However, in this army, an eighth-step powerhouse could only do odd jobs. Among the thousands of Demons, there was no seventh-step powerhouse at all. The lowest cultivation base was at the eighth step. Over a thousand eighth-step demons, what kind of terrifying strength was this? Even the six major human Temples combined might not be able to gather such a number.
An eighth-step powerhouse could only share a tent with two people. Only a ninth-step powerhouse had the qualifications to have a tent alone. As for the Demon God's tents, they were all dark gold in color. The largest naturally belonged to the Demon Emperor.
Making the tent look like a palace, this was the best way to describe the Demon Emperor's tent.
Over a thousand Demons, in this windy and snowy northern region, when night fell, they were really not obvious. However, when all the tents were set up and the Demons moved in, the Dragon Resisting Pass was the first to notice them.
It was impossible not to notice them, because they were really too eye-catching.
Nineteen light pillars instantly lit up.
Each light pillar had a different color and size, but even the shortest light pillar was a hundred meters high, and the tallest purple light pillar was nearly a thousand meters high.
These were the demon god pillars of the Moon Demon God Agares and the other nineteen demon gods that came with the Demon God Emperor. When these nineteen demon god pillars appeared, their radiance blossomed in the wilderness, causing the entire Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass to shake.
Except for the Eternal Heroes, all the powerhouses in the Dragon Resisting Pass had never seen such a magnificent scene.
The nineteen Demon God Pillars represented the arrival of nineteen Demon Gods outside the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. More importantly, these nineteen Demon God Pillars were arranged in a circle, and in the middle of them, a dark golden light was faintly discernible, connecting the Heavens and the Earth, just like a heavenly pillar that supported the heavens. Although it was not clear, the majesty it exuded was something that the nineteen Demon God Pillars combined could not compare to.
Not to mention others, even the Temple Federation Chairman, the Light of Dawn Monster Hunters leader Long Haochen was deeply shocked when he saw this scene outside the Dragon Resisting Pass.
Knowing was one thing, but seeing it with his own eyes was another matter. Although he looked calm on the surface, in his heart, he still felt like he was suppressing something. The Demon Emperor, the invincible existence of the Holy Demon Continent, had finally arrived, and he would finally confront this terrifying existence.
The high-level Knights Templars of the Dragon Resisting Pass were all solemn at this time, and even the Eternal Heroes were no exception.
The news of Long Haochen leading the Dagger Corps and returning victorious from the Demons immediately spread to the Dragon Resisting Pass, and it was fully publicized to the entire Federation. As the Federation Chairman, Long Haochen's prestige skyrocketed, and coupled with the previous propaganda of the magic video, Long Haochen's influence was many times stronger than when he first became the Federation Chairman.
The humans and the Demons had been fighting for six thousand years, and they had never had such a great victory. But at this moment, looking at the twenty Demon God Pillars in the distance, the joy of the previous victory was swept away.
A stage victory and the final victory were never the same thing. As long as the Demon Emperor was still there, and he was still that invincible existence, then for the humans, there was almost no way to turn the tables.
On the surface, it seemed that the Demon Emperor had brought two hundred Ninth Order powerhouses, and more than a thousand Eighth Order powerhouses, but in reality, the biggest threat and deterrent to the Dragon Resisting Pass was only the Demon Emperor himself.
The power accumulated for thousands of years was not something that could be fully confident just by mustering up the courage. The atmosphere in the Dragon Resisting Pass was frighteningly heavy.
"Long … Hao … Chen …" A low and deep voice sounded, and the sound waves rumbled. The terrifying aura seemed to have caused the entire Dragon Resisting Pass to tremble slightly.
Seeing that the Demon Emperor and the Demons had set up camp in the distance, the high-level Knights Templars originally thought that he would not attack immediately, but at this time, when the voice reached them, everyone was subconsciously shocked, and their eyes all focused on Long Haochen.
Separated by fifty miles, the Demon Emperor's voice seemed to be right in front of them.
Long Haochen's eyes slightly narrowed, and a profound light shone in the depths of his eyes. His toes touched the ground, and his body floated up, the six golden wings on his back stretched out, and suddenly Yulong Pass was illuminated in a shining gold.
"Demon … God … Emperor …" Long Haochen's voice was very calm, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion, and similarly spread far away.
As he spoke, his body slowly flew higher into the sky, and at the same time, an intense lustrous white beam of light descended from the sky, falling behind Long Haochen.
The sky suddenly became as bright as daytime, and the lustrous white light instantly spread out, forcibly dispelling the darkness of the night. At least the Dragon Resisting Pass was completely covered by this pure aura, and also calmed the fear in people's hearts.
In the center of the lustrous white light, a nine-colored halo began to spread out. The nine colors were so dazzling, sacred, and noble, and even more so had a kind of high and mighty majesty.
In the center of this nine-colored light, a huge Throne of God more than a hundred feet high appeared in mid-air. The nine-colored light had a special aura, and the nine colors were shining, but there was not the slightest hint of chaos. Vaguely, behind the Throne of God, the nine colors gradually formed a circle of light, and the body of the throne gradually turned into the color of a white jade sculpture.
On the back of the throne, there were tiny reliefs everywhere, giving people a kind of indescribable beauty. At the top, there were the sun, moon, and stars, and in the middle, there were birds and beasts, and connected to the throne, there were scenes of nature.
On the armrests of the throne, there was a statue of a sacred dragon and a twelve-winged angel. Bathed in the light of the throne, the experts of the Dragon Resisting Pass felt the fear in their hearts disappear, and could no longer feel the pressure brought by the twenty demon god pillars in the distance.
Long Haochen's body was still standing there, but with his body as the center, a huge humanoid light projection was projected in front of the Eternal and Creative Throne of God. This figure was more than one hundred and fifty feet high, and it was Long Haochen himself. Although it was only a light projection, but the moment his huge body slowly sat on the Eternal and Creative Throne of God, in the Dragon Resisting Pass, regardless of profession, everyone used their most noble etiquette to pay respect to Long Haochen in the sky, fanaticism had already replaced the fear in their hearts.
The Demons have the invincible Demon Emperor, but we humans also have our leader and glorious Knight of the Seal, the Federation President Long Haochen!
Long Haochen's action of releasing the Eternal and Creative Throne of God restored the morale of the people of the Dragon Resisting Pass, and it was also increasing at an astonishing speed.
As if stimulated by the aura of the Eternal and Creative Throne of God, in the distance, the Demon Emperor's Heaven Defying Demon Dragon suddenly emitted a dark golden light. Under the illumination of the dark golden light, the Demon Emperor's body slowly grew, growing until it was the same size as Long Haochen, and then stopped.
A huge dark golden dragon emerged behind him, turning into a dragon throne that looked even bigger than the Eternal and Creative Throne of God, bearing the body of the Demon Emperor.
"The speed of your growth surprised me. Not dying in the battle five years ago was my biggest mistake." Although separated by dozens of miles, the Demon Emperor's voice was still so clear, as if it was right next to his ear.
Long Haochen said indifferently: "A mistake is a mistake. I heard that the Star Demon Vasak once prophesied that it was your only chance to deal with me. That time, it didn't succeed, which means that the Demons will inevitably go to decline, am I right?"
The Demon Emperor's face changed, his reply also slightly paused. The Great Prophecy of the Star Demon Vasak is the Demons' top secret, how did Long Haochen know about it? Even among the Demons, only a few high-level Demon Gods have heard of it.
"With just you?" Feng Xiu sneered. He didn't refute Long Haochen's words. As the Demon Emperor, he had never been one to lie, but for some reason, after hearing this reminder from Long Haochen, he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart. That's right, didn't Vasak say that it was their only chance to deal with Long Haochen? If they missed that chance, Long Haochen would definitely become a threat to the survival of the Demons.
"With just me." Long Haochen gave an affirmative answer to the Demon Emperor. He obviously couldn't show any weakness now.
Feng Xiu suddenly smiled and said: "Very good, you are indeed the young man I fancy. Whether it is my race or you humans, in your generation, there is indeed no one who can surpass your talent and luck. The current you has indeed become a force to be reckoned with."
The Demon Emperor was also praising Long Haochen? Although they were enemies, when the human powerhouses of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass heard his words, they couldn't help but feel proud. That was the Demon God Emperor, an invincible existence, the number one expert of the demon race.
"Whether or not I have become a force to be reckoned with doesn't need you to judge. Since this Holy War is unavoidable, I believe that this will be the battle that will change the fate of humanity." Long Haochen coldly said.
The Demon God Emperor calmly smiled and said, "I'm praising you. What I said is what I'm thinking. You're indeed outstanding, but you're still too young. If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time."
Long Haochen's eyes suddenly widened, two cold lights shot out from his eyes. His one hundred and fifty zhang tall body suddenly seemed extremely sharp, like a drawn bow, ready to burst out with the most powerful attack at any time.
"You can try now." While speaking, Long Haochen stood up from the Throne of God of Eternity and Creation.
He actually took the initiative to provoke the Demon Emperor? Not to mention the human experts of the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, even the other nineteen Demon Gods in the distance were shocked. This Long Haochen was too arrogant, he actually dared to provoke the Demon Emperor.
But the Demon Emperor didn't get angry and didn't seem to have any intention to attack. He smiled and said: "You look fierce on the outside but you are weak on the inside. I said you can't do it, so you can't. You being able to defeat A Bao surprised me, but the gap between you and me is still huge. Since I saw you here, you are already in my bag. However, I actually don't want to kill you. Let me ask you a question, is Austin Griffin still alive?"
Long Haochen smiled, and his smile carried a trace of disdain. "You're so confident that you can kill me, but are you afraid? Of course Haoyue is still alive, and he is living very well. "
The Demon Emperor also smiled and said: "It seems that you have already told me the answer. Yes, I don't deny that Austin Griffin is a huge threat to us Demons. Unfortunately, he is connected to you by the blood contract. If you are already dead, how can he still be alive?"
Long Haochen laughed and said: "I am dead? Then who is in front of you? "
The Demon Emperor said coldly: "Just an undead."
Long Haochen shook his head gently and said: "Your Majesty Demon Emperor, you are too confident. Many times, things are not what you think they are. You say that I am an undead, but what proof do you have?"
The Demon Emperor laughed and said: "Proof? Of course not, because you are no longer an undead. It's just that you were once an undead. "
Long Haochen also smiled and said: "Your Majesty's contradictory words are really laughable." The Demon Emperor shook his head.
The Demon God Emperor shook his head. "No, this isn't ridiculous. I can honestly tell you that no matter if it's me or any other Demon God, we are indeed afraid of Austin Griffin. However, your situation has already shown me that he is indeed dead. When I shattered your heart in the Star Demon Tower, you were already dead. If I'm not wrong, the reason you were able to stand in front of me again must be because you had some special treasure on you that could gather your soul and not disperse. Perhaps, Austin Griffin wasn't really dead at that time. Later on, you used the Secret Undead Technique to come back to life. However, you were just an undead at that time, not a truly living existence. You could preserve your soul and not disperse, but Austin Griffin couldn't. He could only die. You've now returned to being a human because you snatched the Divine Puppet of the Goddess of Nature from my hands and used the power of the Goddess of Nature to regenerate your heart. However, it has already been five years since I killed you. Five years, Austin Griffin should have long been dead."
Listening to the Demon Emperor's meticulous analysis, Long Haochen could not help but be stunned for a moment. Yes, according to what the Demon Emperor said and the rules of the blood contract, if he had survived by relying on the Heart of Eternity, Haoyue should have died, unless he was not an undead creature, but …
Even he himself did not know what kind of existence he should have been before his heart was regenerated, but the magical Heart of Eternity created by Electrolux made him no different from ordinary people, and even his cultivation was not affected at all. For a moment, Long Haochen's heart was filled with doubts.
In the eyes of the Demon Emperor, his expression undoubtedly seemed to verify what he said.
"Since Austin Griffin is dead, then in fact, our biggest disagreement is no longer there." The smile on the Demon God Emperor's face deepened a bit, and he said, "Although you have part of Austin Griffin's bloodline in your body, following his death, the power of this bloodline will gradually disappear. Since that's the case, I can give you a chance."
Long Haochen woke up from his thoughts, and in this brief moment of thinking, he seemed to have grasped something. Was the Austin Griffin that the Demon Emperor was familiar with really the same creature as his Haoyue? No, not entirely. The simplest point was that the reason why Haoyue was able to survive in the Holy Demon Continent when he was still weak was because of the blood contract with Long Haochen. Not only did Long Haochen's blood flow in Haoyue's body, but at the same time, one of his heads that should have been dark had been converted into light attributes.
In that case, perhaps everything was different.
Long Haochen's guess was completely correct. It was precisely because of the change in attributes that Haoyue was able to survive, gradually recover from his injuries, and later evolve again.
Light and darkness were two completely opposite forces. Among Haoyue's eight heads, Little Light could be said to be the one closest to Long Haochen, because its power was completely derived from Long Haochen.
When Electrolux resurrected Long Haochen, he used the Heart of Eternity to preserve all of Long Haochen's human characteristics, so he couldn't be said to be a true undead. At most, he could be said to be in a half-human, half-undead state. The Heart of Eternity, on the other hand, was formed by concentrating a huge amount of light energy from the constitution of the Son of Light. It was the crystallization of the Holy Law of Necromancy, the Necromancer Calamity Electrolux's lifelong research on necromancy. Under the support of the Heart of Eternity, Long Haochen's soul and bloodline were completely restored and even sublimated.
No matter how strong the Demon Emperor's cultivation was, he didn't have enough understanding of necromancy. He also didn't know that the one who resurrected Long Haochen was a terrifying existence whose strength was not inferior to his own. Therefore, there was a deviation in his guess.
Listening to the Demon Emperor's somewhat gentle voice and his insistence that Haoyue was dead, Long Haochen didn't refute. What he needed most now was time. With each passing day, his cultivation would increase by a considerable degree, and at the same time, his arrangements in the Southeast Stronghold and Myriad Beasts Pass would be further advanced.
Wanting to completely destroy the Demon God Emperor and his terrifying powerhouses outside the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass was extremely unlikely. His goal was to stall these demon powerhouses here, and the most ideal situation would be to stall them until the battle between the southeastern stronghold and the Myriad Beast Pass was over. At that time, the Eternal Hero Alliance as well as the powerhouses of the six Sacred Temples would be able to rush over to support him, and that would be the final moment to fight the Demon God Emperor to the death.
