There was just a gentle speck of pitch-black annihilation. It was completely silent. As for the golden light, it immediately transformed into a huge eye, shining brilliantly.
In that moment, Huang Shuo finally realised just what kind of opponent he was up again. Nine words immediately crossed his head: Movement through space, seventh rank of the ninth step.
Assassins had a special way to hide in the shadows and travel through space to a certain degree. However, if a knight could achieve that without being discovered by him, this was the only explanation that existed.
Despair immediately welled up in his heart. Huang Shuo let out a furious bellow and launched the final attack in his life. He wanted to take his enemy down with him.
Ah’Bao could not see what Huang Shuo was doing, nor could he hear Huang Shuo’s voice. After spitting out the purplish red blood, it did not fuse into his domain like before. Instead, it turned into a purplish red symbol in the air.
The symbol appeared to be rather distorted, like a worm that had been folded over itself several times. There were also some strangely sharp points on it.
The purplish red symbol immediately returned and landed on Ah’Bao’s forehead gently.
Immediately, Ah’Bao’s forehead lit up. The purplish red colour became translucent like a gemstone and streaks of light were refracted from his forehead. The Devil God Pillar behind him immediately became much clearer.
Long Haochen’s expression changed upon seeing this. He had fought against demon gods many times, so of course he could tell what Ah’Bao was attempting to do. This was the final trump card that demon gods possessed.
“You’re actually using the Demonic Collapse Technique?”
Ah’Bao stared at Long Haochen coldly as his aura skyrocketed. The lightning created from the terrifying pressure in his surroundings immediately ripped open space. The terrifying power distorted and twisted his entire body slightly. His swollen muscles and thick blood vessels all began to toughen up under the Demonic Collapse Technique.
Long Haochen had never imagined that Ah’Bao would be so obsessed with defeating him. Normally, demon gods would never use the Demonic Collapse Technique unless they had completely run out of options. Even if they managed to survive after using this technique, their cultivation would drastically plummet and injure the very core of his body.
Ah’Bao had inherited the imperial bloodline of the Devil Dragon Emperor and might have been able to recover in the future, but it would be impossible for him to return to his current level of cultivation in the next decade after using the Demonic Collapse Technique. He only had a single objective in using this technique under these circumstances, which was to push his strength to the utmost limit and kill Long Haochen.
A smear of coldness appeared in the depth of Long Haochen’s eyes. He also raised the Sword of Eternity high over his head as white light shone above him. Long Haochen’s aura also rose at an astonishing pace. Just like before, the sound of a heartbeat appeared once more.
Lubdub, lubdub, lubdub…
A ball of green light in Long Haochen’s chest constantly emitted this powerful sound. The green light was refracted through the gemstone on Long Haochen’s chest, which made it seem even more magnificent. With every beat of his heart, his cultivation seemed to lurch upwards. His aura actually rose at roughly the same pace as when Ah’Bao used the Demonic Collapse Technique.
Ah’Bao’s gaze was very cold. He did not seem to see Long Haochen’s cultivation rise. Instead, he seemed to see when Yue Ye broke off their engagement. He seemed to see Long Haochen being defeated by him.
If he could not succeed, then he would die trying. In that moment, Ah’Bao had already forgotten all the responsibilities he possessed as the crown prince of the demons. In his heart, the only obsession that lingers was to defeat the opponent before him and tear him to shreds.
The Purple Dragon Sword of Startling Heaven gradually became a blueish purple colour as the terrifying lightning gradually became tangible, condensing on the sword as symbols of lightning.
As their auras surged, their domains began an intense clash as well, pushing each other back further and further.
The calmness in Long Haochen’s eyes formed a clear contract with the hysteria in Ah’Bao’s eyes. They both knew that the next clash would be utterly devastating. It would also decide the victor of the battle.
Huang Shuo’s corpse floated in the air silently, held by Xiao Shuo. After dying, Devil Dragons would return back to their original form. Huang Shuo’s body was almost fifty meters long, but unfortunately, it no longer gave off any aura at all.
It was a joke that he wanted to take down two powerhouses of the seventh rank of the ninth step with him, particularly two powerhouses who had lived for over six thousand years and possessed unmatched experience. As the strength that came with first temple heads of the temple alliance, would Xiao Shuo and Shu Yongxiao give him this opportunity?
The reason why Xiao Shuo never fought and Shu Yongxiao only engaged in keeping her opponents busy was to prevent Huang Shuo and Ah’Bao from discovering the battles elsewhere, as well as to pin them down here. With Huang Shuo taking action, it meant that the nine battles elsewhere had come to a close already.
The Eternal Heroes remained hidden away, but the Bright Glimmer of Hope quickly hurried back from different directions. They just happened to see Long Haochen clash with Ah’Bao.
With a gentle wave of the Sword of Eternity, the green ball of light landed on the tip of the sword and immediately, green light flowed down the sword, dyeing the Sword of Eternity the same colour.
The gemstone on Long Haochen’s chest almost emitted the same green colour, immediately turning the Armour of Eternity into the same colour as well. Even the Domain of Eternity was influenced by the Armour of Eternity, becoming green as well.
A dense aura of life expanded. Even Ah’Bao found it comforting when eh sensed it.
Currently, Long Haochen was no longer akin to a human. Instead, he was more like a God of Nature that had descended from heaven. The dense aura of nature was enough to rival the Illusory Paradise of the past.
“Receive my attack.” Long Haochen said seriously. Green light immediately surged through the air as the Domain of Eternity turned into an enormous, green swirl. With the tip of the Sword of Eternity leading the way, it stabbed towards Ah’Bao.
Nature’s Bloom.
However, this attack differed drastically from the original Nature’s Bloom, because the attack filled with the aura of life and nature also possessed a portion of the Goddess of Nature’s power. It was the power of the intelligent spiritual stove!
Basically at the same time as Long Haochen, Ah’Bao launched his attack as well. His move was much simpler and straightforward. He swung his sword.
“Heaven Startling Slash of the Purple Emperor.”
A great streak of purple light shot forth like a stream from the slash. Terrifying purple colour filled the air. It no longer seemed like spiritual energy, but an energy extension of glimmering, cut gemstones.
