Chapter 870: The Final Battle (III)

But now that all the problems had been problems had been resolved, what Haoyue faced was death. It would leave this world forever. It would leave Long Haochen.

Long Haochen’s heart was in intense agony. The indescribable pain made him tremble uncontrollably. Even if he had died, he did not want Haoyue to leave him forever!

Memories began to flash through his head.

Ever since he met Haoyue for the first time on the Knights’ Sacred Mountain, when he used his own blood to change Haoyue’s element, their fates had become connected.

Little Light appeared. Haoyue possessed two heads and had become his best companion.

As Long Haochen grew, Haoyue had always accompanied him, growing with him. Gradually, Haoyue’s third head, Little Green, grew out, followed by Little Blue with the butterfly-shaped horn. Afterwards was Little Purple, Little Yellow, Little Gold and Little Thunder. Haoyue would grow whenever Long Haochen grew himself.

Before today, Long Haochen had never suspected anything would happen to Haoyue, because Haoyue had always used its own power to protect Long Haochen, constantly assisting him in advancing forwards.

There was nothing wrong with Long Haochen’s trust in Haoyue. Even when it completely awakened and became the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, it was not Haoyue betraying Long Haochen. During the entire time, Long Haochen had been the person closest to Haoyue in his entire life! It was the same for Long Haochen. Haoyue had accompanied him as he grew, granting him even greater power. Yet, in this moment, Haoyue was actually dying because of him. How could Long Haochen accept this?

The Purplish Gold Haoyue Armour gradually vanished into the air. What replaced it was endless pain in Long Haochen’s heart. He desperately tried to grab the wisps of purpleness, but the purple light would only slip through his fingers.

“Haoyue, Haoyue!” Long Haochen called out loudly. However, there was nothing he could do now.

Finally, when the final strand of purpleness departed from his body, Long Haochen swayed and collapsed on the ground with a pale face. Haoyue had left. It felt just like his heart had been completely emptied out.

It was also at this moment that a gentle calling suddenly awakened Long Haochen from his sorrow. He raised his head and looked at the sky.

A purple figure gradually condensed out of light. Wasn’t that Haoyue?

The current Haoyue only had eight heads. Austin Griffin’s soul was not present. The eight heads, the eyes of different colour, all looked at Long Haochen gently, as if it was telling him something.

“Haoyue, don’t leave me,” Long Haochen called out. He wanted to lunge over.

But in that moment, Haoyue’s body suddenly became illusionary in the air. It gradually condensed into its centre as a purple swirl, before turning into a small, purple symbol that flew towards Long Haochen, landing in the centre of his forehead.

Long Haochen’s body shuddered in the air. When he fell back to the ground, he had completely fallen unconscious. The nine purplish golden markings on his forehead gradually vanished as well.

In the end, the nine markings turned into a tiny symbol there, before slowly vanishing into Long Haochen’s skin.

Haoyue’s figure and aura completely dispersed in that moment. Not a single trace remained.

Cai’er caught Long Haochen’s falling body. Her face was also covered in tears. She understood Long Haochen and Haoyue’s feelings for each other just too well. Haoyue’s death was just far, far too traumatic for Long Haochen. Fortunately, he was still alive. Her man was still alive. It was about time that everything ended.

Looking at the unconscious Long Haochen, the Demon God Emperor raised his hand and waved it at Bai Yue.

With a flash, Long Xingyu appeared in front of Bai Yue. He glared at the Demon God Emperor with red eyes, “What else are you trying to do?”

The Demon God Emperor smiled indifferently, “Long Xingyu, while I do look down on you very much because of what you did in the past and I’m not particularly willing to accept you as my son-in law, but you were willing to block that attack for Haochen earlier, so you’re still a man with some responsibility. Everything’s over. I just want to talk with my daughter a little.”

Long Xingyu was surprised. The Demon God Emperor who was always seemed so surmountable in his eyes no longer possessed his dignified manner of the past. All that was left was calmness and gentleness.

Bai Yue stumbled slightly out from behind Long Xingyu. Long Xingyu quickly when to support her, but Bai Yue did not look at him. She glanced at Long Haochen who was in Cai’er’s arms with concern first, before turning her eyes towards the Demon God Emperor.

“What do you want to say?”

The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu smiled warmly, “Child, I know that you’re unwilling to accept me. You’re not wrong. I haven’t been a proper father, much less a proper husband. No matter what happened in the past, I have an inescapable responsibility for the tragedy that it ended in. However, I must tell you again that in my heart, your mother’s the only woman I’ve ever loved. Even in her last moments, Lingxuan remembered me. When I heard her last words, do you know what I was thinking?”

Bai Yue said nothing. She only stared at the Demon God Emperor with her reddened eyes.

Fengxiu sighed, “The only thought that I had was that at least I wasn’t a failure in this life. Just a short while ago, I always set my targets on breaking through in my cultivation. I also once took great joy in becoming the most powerful Demon God Emperor in history. But only when I heard Lingxuan’s last words did I discover that none of that actually mattered. What mattered was that in my life, I loved, and I had been loved. It’s just like what your mother said, I do not regret my love.”

Bai Yue could not control her emotions any further when she heard the Demon God Emperor say that. She cried painfully.

The Demon God Emperor took in a deep breath, “Lingxuan, the seventy-two demon god pillars are already destroyed. No matter how many bad things we demons have done to humans, no matter how many grievances there are, it’s time to put a fullstop to all of it. Without the demon god pillars, all of the powers from the demon god pillars will disperse within three years. The Demon Race that did not belong to this realm will self-destruct, while the other races that were converted into demons will gradually turn back to normal. You humans don’t have to do anything at all. You only have to wait a little and the Shengmo Dalu will return to your control again. I only hope that you won’t redirect your wrath towards my clansmen who had lost their powers. Agares is still alive. I believe he will retrain those clans. In less than a century, the Demon Race will completely become history. Everything will be integrated into the new world ruled by you humans.”

“Alright, I’ve said everything I’ve wanted to say. Please tell Long Haochen for me that no matter what, our Demon Race had also expanded everything in order to prevent the destruction of this realm in the final moments. Based of that, I believe he will agree to my final request.”

Reaching there, Fengxiu suddenly laughed. He laughed very happily. Intense pulses of spiritual energy expanded in the air. The Demon God Emperor of the generation slowly unfolded his arms and looked at the sky.

“I am the Devil Dragon Emperor, the greatest ruler in demon history, but the demons will end with me. No one can kill me, not even Austin Griffin. The only one who can end my life is myself.”

Bai Yue suddenly realised something. She cried out, “Don’t...”

But, she had still spoken a little too late. A dagger had appeared in the Demon God Emperor’s right hand at a certain time, or more correctly, a dagger condensed from his own energy. It plunged viciously into his own heart.

However, his laughter continued. His gaze shifted to Long Haochen.

“You damned brat. I killed you once by shattering your heart. Now, even your grandfather’s returned. Do you know that when you called me grandfather, I actually felt very happy? That was the first time I felt happiness ever since Lingxuan had parted with me.”

“Don’t...” Bai Yue sobbed as she charged towards the Demon God Emperor. However, Long Xingyu did not stop her this time. Ever since Bai Yue leapt off the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass for him, the Demon God Emperor understood that his position as a father existed within Bai Yue’s heart.

“Don’t come over!” The Demon God Emperor called out. Bai Yue fell over on the ground when he called out.

Intense, purplish black light combined with dark blue sparks began to scatter in all directions. He was clearly afraid of injuring his own daughter!

Looking at Bai Yue, the Demon God Emperor’s gaze became extremely gentle. He said softly, “Yue’er, my daughter, I know you’re reluctant to accept me as your father. I don’t have the right to be your father either. However, as my life is approaching its end, I have a request. Can you give your mother’s letter to me, so I can leave without regret, so I can follow the sscent of the blood she left in the letter to go find her? Please.”

No matter how much Bai Yue hated the Demon God Emperor, he was still her father! Especially when she saw the Demon God Emperor’s life that was on the level of a half-god leak away at an alarming rate, Bai Yue felt no resentment at all.

“Father!” Bai Yue called out sorrowfully, throwing herself at the Demon God Emperor without any regard for herself at all.

Long Xingyu appeared behind her in time and hugged her. If he let her come in contact with the Demon God Emperor’s terrifying aura of darkness, Bai Yue’s body definitely would not be able to endure it.

The Demon God Emperor smiled, “You dumb girl. What are you crying for? This is good! I’m not dying. I’m going to go find Lingxuan. You should be happy for us. Moreover, if I don’t leave, you’ll still be troubled. Father can’t do anything more for you. This is all I can do. I felt really happy when I heard you call me father. With how you and Haochen called me, I’m very happy. It’s worth it. As it turned out, the emotions of humans can be so lovely! You should give it to me. Your mother’s waiting for me.”
