Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 423 Extra Chapter 8: Beneath the Dragon Pass, Gods Confront Each Other!

Austin Griffin made an appearance.

In the Moon Demon God's narration, Austin Griffin, the symbol of destruction and ruin, the destroyer of many planes, the god of divine punishment, the nine-headed chimera, appeared. His appearance was a complete replica of Long Haochen, the only difference being his hair. Long Haochen had black hair, while Austin Griffin, or rather Haoyue, had noble and eerie purple hair.

With the appearance of the bright moon, both the Demon Emperor and the Moon Demon God showed expressions of despair. An indescribable pressure instantly appeared on the entire battlefield. Whether human or demon, everyone was overwhelmed by this pressure.

Haoyue then began to tell his story, recounting how, as the companion of the Creator God, he witnessed the Creator God creating this world, and how he perished in the process of creation. Before his demise, the Creator God even went to the trouble of sealing him, his twin brother, away, because of his inherently destructive nature! Therefore, Haoyue was enraged. He vowed that once freed, he would destroy all the planes created by the Creator God!

And that's exactly what he did. From the day he escaped, he began his journey of destroying the plane. Everything went smoothly until he encountered the plane that had used up the power of the entire plane to set up the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens God-Destroying Array, which stopped his pace of destruction.

What happened next was clear: Austin Griffin was sealed again by the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens God-Slaying Array, forcing him to reincarnate once more. However, he was unable to escape that plane, which was filled with only darkness and fire and even the abyss despised him. He was hunted down time and time again by the undead creatures born in that plane. Until the last time, he saw hope. Long Haochen's contract brought him to the Holy Demon Continent, allowing him to successfully overcome his weakest period under Long Haochen's protection.

Now, he, the symbol of destruction and annihilation, the destroyer of many planes, the god of divine retribution, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin, has returned in full force. In return, he will destroy this plane. Of course, he will first destroy the demons, and then the humans.

"Brother, should we go down and help?" Jiang Nannan asked Zhu Ziyang, her face showing reluctance.

"No rush." ​​Zhu Ziyang calmly shook his head. He could sense Austin Griffin's strength; he was a God-King level, not above the level he had guessed. Thinking about it, that made sense. If Austin Griffin truly possessed the strength of a Creator God, how could he have been so easily sealed away by the Creator God of this world? This was fine too. An ordinary God-King, even a primordial god, was still somewhat insignificant to Zhu Ziyang, a peak God-King.

He wasn't in a hurry to join the fight. He sensed something different about Long Haochen. This senior brother of his had extremely strong luck, so he obviously wouldn't be defeated so easily.

However, things don't always go as planned. Austin Griffin didn't immediately deal with the Demon Emperor and the Moon Demon God, nor did he make things difficult for Long Haochen. He even ignored their petty actions. Instead, he raised his head, his gaze piercing through the clouds and pointing directly at Zhu Ziyang and Ilex high in the sky. This startled Zhu Ziyang and Ilex, who then exchanged a wry smile, marveling at the keenness of this God of Divine Punishment.

"Gentlemen in the sky, you've finished watching the show, shouldn't you come out and greet your master?" Austin Griffin said. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of Long Haochen, the Demon Emperor, the Moon Demon God, and the others. They were all taken aback, their small movements ceasing as they all looked in the direction Austin Griffin was looking, their faces full of doubt and wariness. Someone in the sky?

"Haha, since we've been discovered, let's go down," Electrox said with a laugh. "We'll have to go down sooner or later anyway."

"Alright, I didn't want to get involved, but this Austin Griffin is just too impatient. I hope he won't regret it," Zhu Ziyang said, waving his hand helplessly.

Thus, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of beings on the battlefield of Yulong Pass, the clouds in the sky slowly parted, and seven humanoid beings walked down from the sky as if strolling in a garden, landing on the open ground ten meters away from Austin Griffin to the astonishment of everyone.

"You..." Long Haochen stared blankly at Zhu Ziyang and his group of seven. He hadn't expected that there would actually be people in the sky, and seven of them at that: a handsome young man, a kind old man, and five women whose looks and temperament were no less than Cai'er's. More importantly, he could only vaguely sense the strength of two of them, both of whom were stronger than him. He couldn't sense the other five, especially the young man and the old man who were in the lead. Their auras were as deep and vast as the ocean, making people's hearts tremble with fear.

"Hello, senior brother, nice to meet you. My name is Zhu Ziyang!" Zhu Ziyang said to Long Haochen with a smile.

"Senior brother?" Long Haochen was stunned when he heard Zhu Ziyang's address. Sheng Cai'er behind him, Haoyue in front of him, Demon God Emperor, and Moon Demon God were also stunned. Everyone's eyes were on him, wanting to see his reaction.

"Haochen, do you know them?" Sheng Cai'er asked softly.

"I don't know him!" Long Haochen shook his head blankly and denied it.

"Your aura is wrong!" Austin Griffin frowned, his eyes flashing sharply. "You don't belong to this world, not even to this starry sky! I don't care who you are, leave now, and I might overlook your trespassing!"

The moment Austin Griffin saw Zhu Ziyang and Electrolux, he felt a pang of regret. He could sense that the two were no less powerful than him, and the young man was even more powerful than him, giving him a sense of pressure that he had only felt when facing the Creator God!

"No wonder you were sealed away by the Creator God," Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but sneer upon hearing Austin Griffin's words. "As a born god, you're the worst I've ever seen. You're actually controlled by your own divine nature instead of completely mastering it. You're truly pathetic!"

"You...shut up!" Austin Griffin, as if struck by a wound, immediately snapped, "I am the God of Divine Retribution, how could I possibly be controlled by my own divine authority? What a joke!"

"Whether it's a joke or not, you know it in your heart." Zhu Ziyang's tone was calm, but his words were like a steel needle, deeply embedded in Austin Griffin's heart.

"You deserve to die!" Austin Griffin roared, a purple aura emanating from his body as he clenched his fists, seemingly ready to attack Zhu Ziyang at any moment.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Zhu Ziyang chuckled and said, "You know very well that you are no match for me. If you were a qualified born god, I would naturally back down. Unfortunately, you are not. You are just a loser, hehe!"

"Shut up!" Austin Griffin was truly on the verge of losing his guard this time. A purple-gold radiance shot out from his hand and struck straight at Zhu Ziyang. Wherever the radiance passed, space shattered and the laws collapsed.

However, Zhu Ziyang simply raised his hands, and a pure white divine power barrier appeared in front of him. The purple radiance that Austin Griffin unleashed melted away upon contact with the white barrier, just like ice and snow meeting the sun.

This scene stunned Long Haochen and the others. They could clearly feel how terrifying the radiance that Austin Griffin unleashed was. Any one of them, whether it was Long Haochen or the Demon Emperor, would have to use all their strength to possibly withstand it. Unexpectedly, this young man named Zhu Ziyang simply raised his hand and neutralized it. The difference between them was simply too exaggerated!

"Haochen, are they really people who don't belong to our world, as Haoyue said?" Sheng Cai'er whispered in Long Haochen's ear.

"I don't know." Long Haochen shook his head, a look of pain flashing in his eyes. He said, "If what they say is true, then perhaps we can ask them to help us deal with Haoyue—no, Austin Griffin!"

"How is this possible?!" Austin Griffin stared at the scene in disbelief, unable to believe that his attack, which had once been capable of destroying half a continent, had been so easily neutralized.

"Alas! Don't you understand? Right now, you can't control all your power at all. Other consciousnesses are still dormant within you. Although you have temporarily suppressed these consciousnesses, they have not been completely assimilated. They are constantly hindering your actions!" Electrox said with a sigh. "If I'm not mistaken, they should be the consciousnesses of your other eight heads. You, the Head of Divine Punishment, probably cannot understand or comprehend their feelings for Haochen. Indeed, if you could understand these feelings, you wouldn't be controlled by your own destructive divinity."

"You are..." When Long Haochen heard Electrolux call his name so familiarly, his doubts deepened. He carefully examined Electrolux's face and was certain that he was not someone he knew, which made him even more curious.

"Haha, Haochen, Cai'er, it's been a long time! I am the Undead Calamity, the Holy God of the Dead, Electrox!" Electrox looked at Long Haochen and Sheng Cai'er and laughed heartily.

"The Cataclysm of the Undead?!"

"The Necromancer Saint?!"

Electrolux?!

"teacher?!"

Long Haochen, Sheng Cai'er, and the members of the Demon Hunter team who had experienced the Eternal Tower with them all screamed in shock.
