I want to challenge you! Those simple words from Haochen’s mouth were resonating with force.

The heretofore extremely serene Star Demon God Vassago couldn’t help but reveal astonishment after hearing his statement.

For him to have the courage to say such a thing in such desperate straits, and when facing such an irresistible enemy, he couldn’t help but gain a whole new level of respect for Long Haochen.

“Alright.” The Demon God Emperor shouted abruptly, shutting his eyes. Two resplendent cold flames surged from these eyes gazing at Long Haochen ardently. A deep sadness and appreciation could be seen in those eyes: this complex expression now carried a tint of resolution.

“You deserve to be called someone I care about. I will give you this honor,” the Demon God Emperor said loudly, and in a flash, his figure landed twenty meters away from Long Haochen.

Long Haochen placed his right fist on his chest, striking it in the middle, and showed the Demon God Emperor a knight salute, “Thank you. I hope you will abide by your promises.”

Xiufeng gave Long Haochen a deep glance, “If I had the choice, I’d rather hope that you wouldn’t die here. But it’s already late to say that. You should realize that asking to die by my hand is also a matter of terrible cruelty.

“I will be killing with my own hands my own…”

At this point, he cut his speech, becoming silent. An unnatural looking smile then appeared on his face, “There are some matters you should better not learn. I hope you can die without any regrets. Come with your strongest attack, so that I can see just what level you have finally reached.”

Long Haochen nodded. Right now, he didn’t have any more tears falling, only strong attachment. A strong attachment of his very own.

Standing here, Long Haochen didn’t immediately make a move. Seemingly in a mystical state, his eyes gradually gained a grim look. The penetrating golden color of his eyes had just become pure beyond compare.

A faint light fog arose around his body, shrouding him in a totally white fog. Long Haochen’s Aria of the Goddess of Light and Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, which were previously separated were slowly lifted above his head, and Yating re-appeared behind him.

As Long Haochen’s elemental fairy, in case Long Haochen died, due to her close link with him she’d hardly survive. But the current Yating didn’t have any sad look, only a look of tenderness and dedication. She didn’t give a single look to the Demon God Emperor, focusing her gaze from beginning to end on Long Haochen himself, unwilling to waste time with any other matter.

Orange and green crossed in midair, as the gold colored Yating became the catalyst for their fusion. A brilliance full of white heat filled with intense divine aura once again ascended from this Star Demon Pagoda, and became one with the white fog surrounding Long Haochen’s body, bursting out with intense incandescent flames.

Without a doubt, the Long Haochen currently reached the greatest peak he had ever attained in his life. Even his eyes had turned into an incandescent color.

The Demon God Emperor Fengxiu watched Long Haochen attentively. The look on his eyes didn’t change from beginning to end; the sadness and appreciation in his eyes was pulsing from the deepest parts.

Long Haochen moved, his left feet striding forward abruptly. The heavy sword grasped in his hands struck slowly; his movement looked very slow, but looking at this sword strike, even powerhouses of the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God’s levels couldn’t help but react in alert.

Long Haochen’s sword did not follow any trajectory, only full of dedicated sword intent. This was not a sword intent of terrible might, but it was impossible to dodge, harmonizing with that divine tool Sword of Creation and Life which had already surpassed the level of an ordinary divine tool. The sword intent inside that sword of his had already risen to the peak, and that instant, he acheived a state of communion with the sword. He was his sword, and his sword was him in the meantime. His sword and he were made one in the truest meaning.

Fengxiu did not move, only calmly looking at Long Haochen as his sword slowly approached the top of his head. The interior of the whole Star Demon Pagoda already had turned into an incandescent color due to Long Haochen’s sword strike, and massive fluctuations of spiritual energy moved rhythmically in the air. All the darkness essence was actually crushed upon contact with Long Haochen’s sword, and even the Star Demon God surrounded himself with starlight that instant, involuntarily launching his powerful aura to resist all the holy light spiritual energy contained in his sword.

At Long Haochen’s back appeared slowly a pure white image, the Goddess of Light.

This sword strike looked simple, but already contained everything Long Haochen had. His divine tool, God Descent, sword intent, and all his will and spiritual energy. That was his strongest state since birth, and very possibly his final attack.

The Demon God Emperor showed a slight emotional reaction, slowly waving his right hand. His movement appeared slow, and as he moved, not the slightest elemental essence was released, giving off the feeling that he was just an all the more ordinary person, simply and unhurriedly lifting his hand.

Fengxiu slowly pointed one of his fingers forward, and that finger as fair as any female’s nimbly made contact with the sharp end of the Sword of Creation and Life.

But with this bit, all the incandescence instantly dispersed. No release of mighty darkness essence in the Star Demon Pagoda followed, but just from that, Long Haochen’s body shook violently.

The terrifying sword intent finally flared out the next instant, but was not directed toward the Demon God Emperor Xiufeng, but dispersed to all directions of the Star Demon Pagoda. The incomparably sharp sword intent moved rhythmically all around, making all members of Bright Glimmer of Hope feel as if they had returned to the Desolate Hissing Cavern from that time.

This flare out of sword aura and sword intent gradually dispersed after a whole dozen breaths’ time, and the incandescent colored brilliance gradually vanished. Fengxiu slowly withdrew his right hand then waved his fingertip forward. Long Haochen still remained in the same position, unmoving. As if his whole person was poured into the previous sword strike, his look was still the same determined one, but appeared totally static.

Fengxiu’s fair fingertip leaked a drop of blood, soaked in an intense golden color.

“Very good, very good.” Fengxiu suddenly revealed a smile, a large and hysterical smile. As he howled with laughter, the whole Star Demon Pagoda shivered, and the Moon Demon God and Star Demon God couldn’t help but stimulate their spiritual energy to defend their own bodies. But all the members from Bright Glimmer of Hope sustained its terrifying pressure and were sent flying to the Star Demon Pagoda’s walls. That instant, Cai’er was awakened in Wang Yuanyuan’s arms.

“Haochen!” Right when opening her eyes, Cai’er immediately shouted. She saw in a glance the unmoving Long Haochen standing there, as well as the Demon God Emperor laughing frantically.

The Demon God Emperor’s power was just too terrifying. Even if that was just laughter, it suppressed everyone present, making them totally unable to move.

“Goodbye, youngster.” The Demon God Emperor’s laughter stopped suddenly, and in a wave of his hand, that drop of dark red blood wrapped in intense golden light shot toward Long Haochen like an arrow, marking his chest.

_Pop._ In a spurt of blood, a small hole appeared on the location of Long Haochen’s chest, and immediately, a bursting sound was heard, and a fist sized bloody hole appeared around the area that had been pierced.

Strangely, there was not even a single drop of blood. But a bloody hole was left in Long Haochen’s chest, making it visible that his heart had disappeared. The Golden Foundation Armor was actually of no use at all.

No one was able to assist Long Haochen: the restrictions in this Star Demon Pagoda were arranged not by the Star Demon God Vassago, but by the joint effort of the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, the Moon Demon God Agares, and the Star Demon God Vassago. Even a supra divine tool’s power would be unable to pass through space in there.

“No…” Cai’er charged forward frantically, but was unable to budge in the slightest due to the unbendable power of suppression released from the Demon God Emperor’s body.

Seeing in person the scene of her beloved man’s heart getting smashed, Cai’er instantly felt totally blank. As a mouthful of blood was spurted out from her mouth, she lost consciousness in Wang Yuanyuan’s embrace.

A blank space, full of memories.

Shattering sounds resounded in Cai’er’s brain, and bit by bit, all kinds of memories surged in Cai’er’s mind.

_“Are you okay?”_

_“_ _I can’t speak, bad people are chasing me, they will arrive soon. Sister, save me!_ _”_

_“It is brother, not sister.”_

_“_ _I feel their presence, they will arrive soon. They can track my scent. Go, quickly! Otherwise, it will be too late!_ _”_

_“Out of the question! As a man, I must protect you.”_

_“Little sister, where are you going? I’ll help you.”_[c]

_“There’s no need.”_

_“Let me help you, please. I will escort you home.”_

_“I told you there’s no need.”_[d]

_“Hey…”_

—

_“_ _Can you escort me for a little while, please?”_

_“Yeah.”_

_“Where do you live?”_

_“250 meters forward, then 120 meters after turning right and, finally, we’ll arrive 60 meters after turning left.”_

_“You, what’s your name?”_

_“Eh?”_

_“My name is Long Haochen. How about you?”_

_“My name is Cai’er.”_
