Divine Seal: From a Heavy Sword to Slicing Through the Holy Demon Continent

Long Haoyu nodded in agreement, "Indeed, several top experts have arrived, and things have become somewhat tricky. What stage has Haoyue's evolution reached, and how long will it take to end?"

"I don't know, I feel it will take quite a while," Long Haochen said frankly.

Long Haoyu's heart sank as he fully realized how thorny the situation had become, and he sensed a dangerous undertone in his younger brother's words.

The arrival of the Lich King and the Necromancer Knights will certainly prevent Haoyue from continuing to evolve; they wish they could grind Haoyue, this god of divine retribution, to dust.

Three ninth-tier powerhouses were simply beyond the reach of the two brothers. Even the Lich King and the Bone Dragon, both ninth-tier beings, could have annihilated them thousands of times over.

The final Necromancer Knight, or rather, the Undead Knight, remembered clearly that the opponent was the true ruler of this world of darkness and fire.

To be honest, the other party is the strongest in this world right now; every move he makes is earth-shattering.

After all, this was someone he knew from history, whose younger brother, after obtaining the throne of the God of Eternity and Creation, was able to fight against him.

"Humans, get out of the way!"

"Austin must die!"

The Necromancer Knight spoke.

A voice filled with loneliness echoed in Long Haoyu and Long Haochen's ears, its penetrating power seemingly shattering their eardrums.

The Lich King's chilling voice followed: "Wait a minute, take a good look at the bloodline in that human!"

The Necromancer Knight, reminded by the Lich King, turned his gaze to scrutinize Long Haoyu. Seeing the coldness in Long Haoyu's eyes, he realized what was happening.

He nodded slightly, signaling the Lich King to continue with what he needed to do.

The Lich King stepped forward slightly, his eyes, glowing with crimson fire, continuing to scrutinize Long Haoyu: "Human, you come from the world they went to?"

Long Haoyu did not respond to the Lich King's words, but gently placed a hand on Long Haochen's shoulder: "You go back to Haoyue's side first, I will handle things here."

Upon hearing this, Long Haochen immediately refused, saying, "No, I'll stand with you, brother!"

He knew very well that Haoyue's evolution would take some time, and if Long Haoyu stayed here alone, facing three ninth-level experts by himself, he would ultimately perish here.

Long Haoyu's intention was clearly to buy himself and Haoyue some time. As long as Haoyue could complete her evolution, he could leave safely.

Knowing this outcome, how could he possibly abandon his brother and choose to live a life of ignominy alone?

Sensing his younger brother's emotional fluctuations, Long Haoyu's voice softened slightly: "Do as I say, and I'm confident about what's to come."

"And after that assessment incident, you know I don't want to see a similar situation happen again."

"Now, you go to Haoyue right now!"

Long Haochen's expression changed slightly. Seeing that Long Haoyu was obviously much more serious about this matter, he took several deep breaths.

The dusty air suddenly didn't have as much of an impact as it had at the beginning; his mind was now entirely focused on Long Haoyu.

"Okay, brother, I'll go to Haoyue's place!"

Long Haochen made a difficult decision, knowing that his brother did not want to see his rival fall into danger again because of him.

After saying this, Long Haochen did not hesitate any longer. He leaped into the air and sped towards the cave where Haoyue was, quickly disappearing into the darkness of the cave.

The Lich King witnessed the entire event, and the crimson flames in his eyes slowly shifted from Long Haoyu to Long Haochen.

A chilling voice echoed once again throughout the land.

"It seems you little human aren't going to tell us the answer so easily!"

"I will come back to ask you about your affairs after I have destroyed Austin!"

The Lich King had not forgotten that his primary purpose in coming here was to eliminate the reincarnated Austin. As he spoke, he looked toward the cave where Long Haochen and Haoyue were.

A purple bubble suddenly formed on the mountain where the cave was located, and the mountain began to melt away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As expected, once the mountains completely melt away, Long Haochen and Haoyue, who were inside the mountains, will be completely destroyed.

At the current speed, it won't be long before this mountain range is completely reduced to nothingness and ceases to exist in this world.

Long Haoyu had no intention of letting the Lich King destroy Haochen and Haoyue here so easily. His eyes, which had shrunk to the size of pinpoints, shot out beams of cold light.

"Give it to me, stop it!"

Long Haoyu roared angrily.

With no weapon in his hand, he plunged it fiercely into the ground.

His aura surged wildly in that instant, and the bloodline of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Clan within him was unleashed to its fullest potential.

In the shadow space, he had been cultivating demon-controlling abilities, while also figuring out how far he could go in demonic possession without losing his mind.

At this moment, he unleashed all the heaven-defying demonic dragon bloodlines he could currently control.

As these bloodline powers were developed, his words seemed to carry the majestic roar of a dragon.

"Roar--"

A true dragon's roar erupted from Long Haoyu's throat, and his tiny pupils began to fill with a blood-red hue, as if he had entered a profound and bloodthirsty state.

A phantom suddenly appeared as his bloodline was developed to its current limit. It was a giant, dark golden dragon phantom, its entire body filled with a terrifying aura.

Looking at it from all angles, one cannot discern just how enormous this colossal dragon phantom truly is; it appears to stretch across the entire universe.

It appeared immediately upon the mountain where Long Haochen and Haoyue were located, and the purple bubble that the Lich King used to dissolve the mountain burst into nothingness.

Finally, the phantom of the giant dragon coiled around the mountainside, its massive head looking towards the Lich King and the Necromancer Knight.

The dragon eyes, almost identical to Long Haoyu's at this moment, exuded supreme majesty.

And, a disregard for life.

Chapter 158 Truth Lies Only on the Edge of the Sword

The sudden change caused both the Lich King and the Necromancer Knight to become much more serious.

Their gazes met at that moment, meeting the majestic eyes of the illusory demonic dragon, and their auras surged.

The Lich King remained indifferent, showing no fear as he stared at the dark golden dragon phantom; instead, he displayed a hint of anger.

The same was true for the Necromancer Knight. As he looked at the golden dragon phantom, he pulled out the greatsword, which was taller than him at 2.5 meters.

He stood up, his massive body held horizontally beside him, unleashing an aura even more terrifying than that of the Lich King.

"Have you betrayed our world?"

"After you went to other worlds, did you forget your duties?"

"Back then, you wielded the Pillars of Seal, fighting on the front lines against Austin, sacrificing your lives!"

"Now, you're actually siding with Austin?"

The deep voice of the Necromancer Knight rang out.

Facing the dark golden dragon phantom, his voice carried a hint of anger.

At this moment, he seemed ready to take action at the slightest provocation.

What he saw before him was a sore spot in his heart.

Austin's divine curse is something that none of them, living in this world, want to continue facing.

If there is even the slightest chance, even if it means sacrificing some of their strength, they must destroy Austin.

They have persisted for over six thousand years. If they succeed this time, they will only need to persist for another two thousand years to completely eradicate Austin, the divine punishment that brought them destruction and darkness.

Therefore, no matter who is protecting Austin, he will not hesitate to draw his sword.

Although the Lich King's aura was not as strong as that of the Death Knight, he was not idle; the dark clouds surrounding him began to boil.

Crimson flames danced in his eyes, reflecting the same view as the Necromancer Knight: to destroy Austin at all costs.

Just as both were about to make their move, two beams of black light shot out from the eyes of the golden dragon phantom.

Soon, it was as if dark clouds were pressing down.

The black light enveloped the Lich King, the bone dragon, the necromancer knight, and Long Haoyu.

It was as if they were isolated from this world, existing in a small, separate world.

The Lich King and the Necromancer Knights were not intimidated by this and remained highly focused.

After staring at the dark golden dragon phantom for a while, and confirming that it was just a power dormant within the bloodline, they still couldn't get the answer from the phantom.

Both sides' patience had been exhausted at this moment.

The Necromancer Knight raised his greatsword, and terrifying power began to gather on it.

As Long Haoyu sensed the terrifying power that the Necromancer's Judgment Knight's sword would possess if it were truly unleashed, a calm voice rang out at that moment.

"They did not betray your world; they and you have always upheld the idea of ​​destroying Austin."

"Although they are not in the same world, Austin is still a thorn in their side, they just haven't succeeded yet."

Long Haoyu spoke calmly, and after developing his bloodline power to this extent, his voice carried a touch of the majesty of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Clan.

The Lich King and the Death Knight were not surprised by the change in Long Haoyu's voice, but they looked at him with great incomprehension.

The Demonic Dragon Clan didn't betray this world? And those departed races didn't betray their world either? Then how do we explain what's happening now?!

"Descendant of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Clan, tell me your reasons!" the Death Knight declared. "You claim they haven't betrayed you, that you possess their bloodline, so why stand with Austin? Why protect Austin?"

“Because Austin became my brother’s blood partner, I have to protect my brother, so naturally I have to protect him too!” Long Haoyu replied.

The Necromancer Knight coldly snorted: "Bearing the bloodline of the Heaven-Defying Demonic Dragon Clan, a descendant of the most powerful race in the past, yet you want to protect Austin? That's the funniest joke I've heard in thousands of years!"

"As long as divine retribution is not averted, the world will never have peace! You have no idea what terrifying existence you are protecting!"

Long Haoyu replied, "Of course I know, but I can assure you that he will not continue to bring divine retribution and destroy the world in the future!"

The Necromancer Knight said no more, and the Lich King was too lazy to speak. Even the bone dragon riding the Necromancer Knight made a cracking sound, mocking Long Haoyu's behavior.

The Necromancer Knight raised his greatsword, and the power he gathered gradually reached its peak, locking all his energy onto Long Haoyu and the mountain behind him.

He intended to wipe out the entire area with a single blow, ensuring that Long Haoyu, a descendant of the heaven-defying demonic dragon race, and Austin, who had been reborn once more, would be utterly annihilated within this tiny space.

Long Haoyu's expression remained unchanged. He never expected that his words would make the Lich King and the Necromancer Knight give up their attack.

Only strength speaks volumes.

Only when one's strength reaches a certain level can one engage in conversation with the other party on equal terms, just like his stubborn grandfather.

There have been real-life examples of this in the future. He remembered that his younger brother had done something similar, using his absolute strength to gain people's trust.
