“So what if you’ve washed away its dark attributes? Its origin isn’t darkness, but destruction! Do you understand the title ‘God of Heavenly Scourge’? It is the scourge, the destroyer of all planes. Its existence is for destruction and annihilation. According to my clan’s historical records, Austin Griffith is the dark side of the Creator God, or rather, the Creator God’s twin. Once it fully awakens, there will be almost no power capable of destroying it. The Ten Earths Nine Heavens God-Slaying Formation can no longer appear. After the initial formation was broken, it transformed into demon god pillars, incomplete now. Moreover, among the seventy-two demon god pillars, some have already been destroyed by Austin Griffith.”

“Long Haochen, if you truly care about humanity and this plane, then you only have one choice now. That is to completely destroy Austin Griffith before it evolves its last head. This is the only chance. Otherwise, once its head of destruction appears, it will revert to the God of Heavenly Scourge, repeating the path that Austin Griffith once walked. The Saint Demon Continent will be completely destroyed, not just us demons and you humans, but all living beings, all plants, and even the stars visible in this world will ultimately perish under its destruction and annihilation!”

“Haochen, don’t believe him,” Long Tianyin stepped forward. “This is all demon clan scaremongering. The dark age should end. What are you still hesitating about?”

Hearing Long Tianyin’s words, Long Haochen’s spirits lifted. Although he had gradually come to believe Agares’ words, he desperately hoped it wasn’t true.

Moon Demon God Agares gave a bitter laugh, “Having said all this, I never intended to live today. Long Haochen, if you don’t believe it, then you can kill us all first, and then kill Austin Griffith. I only ask that after my death, you can preserve my organization and my people, allowing them to live in a place free from the threat of the God of Heavenly Scourge.”

“Too late, everything is too late,” Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head. In this short time, he seemed to have aged a lot, and his eyes dimmed. He drew the Heaven-Defying Demon God Sword from the ground.

“Agares, haven’t you realized it yet? Austin Griffith has already awakened. Otherwise, even in its eight-headed state, how could it have broken our Sun, Moon, and Stars Formation! That was originally the core formation of the Ten Earths Nine Heavens God-Slaying Formation. If the God of Heavenly Scourge hadn’t awakened, we would have succeeded. The moment we fell from the sky, the ending was already predetermined. We can no longer stop it. Austin Griffith, it has returned.”

Listening to the Demon God Emperor’s words, Long Haochen was stunned and subconsciously looked at the eight-headed Purple Gold Hao Yue Sword in his hand.

A slight hum resonated in Long Haochen’s hand, and then the Purple Gold Hao Yue Sword transformed into a stream of purple-gold light, soaring into the sky.

“Thank you for the welcoming speech, Demon God Emperor, is it? Just the head of some lingering ants. What a wonderful story! So touching. I haven’t been disrupting the atmosphere, but you just had to call me out. That’s not good. Why did you have to force me out so early? I originally wanted to see how the master would choose in this situation.”

The clear, cold voice carried a hint of humor and playfulness. In the sky, the purple-gold light shone brightly. The next moment, the entire sky turned into a noble purple, but also a purple filled with the aura of destruction. In the position where the Purple Gold Hao Yue Sword paused in the air, a figure gradually appeared.

He had long purple hair and wore a gorgeous purple robe. His slender figure was perfectly proportioned, but he had a pair of dead gray eyes. Even more shocking was that his appearance was exactly the same as Long Haochen.

With his hands behind his back, the purple-haired youth descended from the sky. On his face, there was a faint smile, “Hello everyone. Although I don’t know if you welcome me, I’ve come anyway. My name is Austin Griffith. Of course, you can also call me Haoyue. You all love to tell stories, how about listening to one from me?”

Seeing this purple-haired youth, Moon Demon God Agares’ face was ashen. Demon God Emperor Fengxiu’s eyes flickered, as if he had made a decision. At this moment, his eyes regained their firmness.

Long Haochen stared blankly at the purple-haired youth descending from the sky, muttering, “Are you Haoyue?”

Haoyue smiled slightly, even his smile was very similar to Long Haochen. He looked at Long Haochen with a much gentler gaze, “Of course, my master, I am your Haoyue! Your appearance is really perfect. Becoming like you, I feel surprisingly proud.”

Long Haochen suddenly had a very bad premonition. Haoyue’s attitude and tone at this time were completely different from his original interactions with him, as if he had been replaced by another soul. This also confirmed Moon Demon God Agares’ words from another aspect.

Haoyue ignored what the humans and demons thought, and said with a smile: “Master, don’t worry, I will never hurt you. Who asked you to be my master? And you saved my life. Listen to me tell a story, from now on, no one is allowed to speak.”

Just as his voice fell, the sky seemed to collapse and press down, and a terrifying sense of oppression instantly appeared in everyone’s heart. Both demons and humans were bearing this terrifying pressure, and they couldn’t speak.

“I came from the beginning of the world. It seemed to be a big bang…” Haoyue’s eyes revealed a look of recollection. His voice was very similar to Long Haochen’s, but it was more ethereal and less steady.

“After the big bang, my consciousness began to appear, and at the same time as me, another consciousness appeared. He was much stronger than me, and after his consciousness appeared, he possessed unparalleled power. He was called Creation. At that time, I was too weak and could only rely on him, watching him create the entire world. One plane after another was quietly opened up by him, and he gradually endowed these planes with all things, with plants, with animals, the breath of life multiplied in every plane, making them all begin to have the breath of creation.”

“Creation told me that his proudest work was a species, and the name of this species was humans. Although humans were not strong, Creation endowed this race with part of his creativity, allowing humans to have the ability to create and learn. Creation said that one day, humans would break through the restraints of the plane and bring the power of creation to farther places.”

“But I don’t know why, I especially hate his tone and his creation. Although he is much stronger than me, his power is consumed very quickly in order to create plane after plane, until his final demise. He left behind many of his auras and created countless things, but in the end, didn’t he still have to die? What’s hateful is that before he died, he actually left a seal on me, sealing my soul, making it impossible for me to ever reach his level. He also said that my nature is destruction, that I am his twin born with him. He was unwilling to destroy me, but he was also unwilling for me to destroy his creation. Detestable, really detestable!”

“However, how could my power be completely sealed by him? I used my method to transform into the creatures he created, using the growth characteristics of the creatures to gradually dissolve the seal on me. Finally, I succeeded in one plane. I regained my own power. Finally, I found my own body. I am the God of Heavenly Scourge, the Nine-Headed Chimera, Austin Griffith.”

Speaking of this, Haoyue’s eyes were full of pride. That lofty majesty made the human powerhouses who were originally excited because they were about to break through the dark age feel heavier and heavier. The Demon God Emperor was terrible enough, but the God of Heavenly Scourge, who claimed to be the Creator God’s companion, was probably even more terrifying than the Demon God Emperor! What power did they have to contend with him?

“When my ninth head awakened, I regained the feeling of destruction. At that time, I thought that no power could stop me anymore. Creation is dead, I am the master of the entire world, and any plane must groan under my feet. Didn’t that bastard Creation want to create? Okay, I will destroy all of his creations. I want to prove that I am stronger and more excellent than him.”

“But what I never expected was that I was actually plotted against by the humans created by Creation. Carelessness and underestimation of the enemy led me into the trap of the despicable humans. I was trapped by the Ten Earths Nine Heavens God-Slaying Formation. In that formation, there was actually a part of the power belonging to Creation. No matter how hard I tried, I was never able to break through the obstruction of that cage.”

“Who am I? I am the destroyer of all planes, the God of Heavenly Scourge, the Nine-Headed Chimera, Austin Griffith. How could I be trapped by mere humans? Did they think that this would allow me to perish? That was simply a dream. How could the pride of the God of Heavenly Scourge surrender to mere humans? So, I used all my power to break through this cage. Finally, I succeeded. No matter how much Creation’s power restrained me, it was just a trace of his aura, not his body. He is dead, he has been dead for a long time, who else can truly stop me? What if I die once? I can still be reincarnated, reborn. With my great power of destruction, even if I die, I have enough power to destroy that plane, turning it into a lifeless world of destruction. And even if I am reborn in such a world, I can still re-evolve, absorbing the power of destruction that belongs to me back into my body. When I grow my ninth head again, all the power of destruction will return to the earth. I will continue my grand wish to destroy everything created by Creation.”
