Chapter 742: Revival! Yating's Kiss (I)
Long Haochen immediately turned his head and cast a questioning glance at the king of Easton. The king of Easton nodded solemnly, "She's right. Once the Tree of Destruction has sprouted, it cannot be stopped. Right now, all we can do is seal up the seedling to the best of your ability and slow its growth. Afterwards, I will pray to the lords of nature and see if they can spare a branch of the Tree of Eternity to seal up the Tree of Destruction for good."
The king of Easton did not blame Long Haochen for anything, but he could still tell from the king of Easton's tone that he was displeased. Long Haochen could not help but apologise, "Sorry, king of Easton. I was careless. I never thought the Nightmoon Queen would have such an ambitious scheme, but I must say that your precautions against stealing the seed of the Tree of Destruction are just far too insufficient."
The king of Easton became rather angry from shame, "Who would've thought she would come up with an idea like this? If it weren't for you, I would have discovered her plan a long time ago, and I'd have plenty of time to stop her."
Long Haochen said, "I am responsible for this, allow me to handle itt. When I entered this place, I had already sensed its aura of destruction. King of Easton, let me ask you one last time. Do you really want to destroy the Tree of Destruction and prevent it from ever appearing again?"
The king of Easton was bitter, “Of course. My lords were unable to destroy it, but they could npt let it influence the Tree of Eternity in my lords' world either, which was why they had given it to me to look after. Who would have thought this would happen?”
Long Haochen nodded, “Since that's the case, leave it to me. Actually, destroying the Tree of Destruction isn't all that difficult.”
As he said that, he turned around and raised his right hand, gesturing at the Tree of Destruction.
A ray of resplendent, golden light shot towards the Tree of Destruction in Sisi's hands.
Sisi continued to sneer, while the corner of her lips perked up in disdain. It might have been her defeat today, but she had already offered her soul of darkness to the Tree of Destruction when she prayed earlier. As long as the Tree of Destruction matured in the near future, she could still revive her soul.
"叮"
Ding.
The ray of light produced a crisp sound when it struck the Tree of Destruction. A layer of faint, purple haze formed a screen to protect the Tree of Destruction. Long Haochen's ray of light did not even manage to disturb the screen of light before fading away.
Long Haochen nodded slowly, “It really is very tough.”
Sisi said disdainfully, “What's tough? It's completely indestructible.”
Long Haochen smiled, “You can't be so sure. Nothing is impossible in this world.” As he said that, he slowly raised his hands and made a posture as if he was clutching something. Afterwards, nine strands of purplish golden symbols appeared slowly.
When the nine strands appeared, Long Haochen's face appeared more demonic despite radiating with light. Even the king of Easton who stood beside him leapt in fright. However, he soon discovered that Long Haochen's Heart of Light did not change. Its power just varied.
Afterwards, the king of Easton and Sisi saw a huge sword extend from Long Haochen's empty hands. The purplish gold sword seemed dazzling. In particular, the six heads on the hilt gave off an icy-cold gaze, as if it was looking at everything in the surroundings.
As soon as the heavy, purplish gold sword appeared, the divine tools wielded by the king of Easton produced gentle hums. The king of Easton said in surprise, “My treasures are in fear. W- what kind of sword is that?”
Long Haochen smiled “Since it can destroy the Tree of Destruction, just call it the Killer of Destruction. Its full name would be the Killer of Destruction, the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword.”
As he said that, he had already swung the sword with a great streak of light, directly towards the Tree of Destruction in Sisi's hands.
This time, Sisi felt greatly threatened. She was not afraid of the Tree of Destruction being attacked, but right behind the tree was her! She was nowhere as tough as the Tree of Destruction. Whether it were humans or fairies, they all had a strong urge for survival. Almost instinctively, Sisi let go of the Divine Stone of Sun and Moon.
The purplish gold light arrived in a flash and struck the Tree of Destruction as it fell.
The Tree of Destruction shone with purple light once more. However, it was different from last time where it immediately dispersed Long Haochen's attack. This time, when the barrier of purple came in contact with the sword, the two actually became glued together. In other words, the Tree of Destruction seemed to be stuck mid-air along with the Divine Stone of Sun and Moon.
The seedling of the Tree of Destruction trembled violently in the Divine Stone of Sun and Moon. The layer of purple light shone brighter and brighter as well, to the point where it even gave off some brilliant specks of purple light.
The sword continued to shine with purplish gold light. However, all the eyes on the six heads of the hilt were now wide open, like it had been awakened. It stared at the struggling Tree of Destruction coldly.
“No, impossible.” Sisi said dumbfoundedly, “The Tree of Destruction produces the power of destruction. Even in its most basic form, it can reduce any attacks directed to it to nothing. How can it be evenly matched?”
Under her gaze of disbelief, something suddenly happened at the tip of the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword.
The sharp edge suddenly turned into a huge mouth, chomping through the destruction power and down onto the seedling itself. With a powerful wrench, it actually pulled the seedling out of the Divine Stone of Sun and Moon, before swallowing it whole. The Tree of Destruction immediately turned into a ball of purple light, vanishing completely within the Purplish Gold Haoyue Sword's aura.
Long Haochen raised his right hand and pulled the Divine Stone of Sun and Moon into his hand, now without the Tree of Destruction. He turned around and asked the dumbstruck king of Easton, “Is this yours?”
The king of Easton shook his head and said absentmindedly, “That's a treasure created by nature. It doesn't belong to me. Since you managed to get it back, it's yours now. But, d- did you really destroy the Tree of Destruction?”
Long Haochen smiled, “I should have. Don't worry, there won't be any problems.”
When he entered the king of Easton's cave and sensed that destructive intent, Haoyue's feelings surfaced in Long Haochen's heart. Haoyue desired that power of destruction dearly, constantly urging Long Haochen to obtain it. However, this was the king of Easton's lair, so he obviously could not do that before he had had gotten to the bottom of everything. At the same time, Haoyue's reaction had made him even more wary of Sisi.
Haoyue had clearly told him that while the great power of destruction was pure, it was not enough to endanger Haoyue in any way. It would only nourish Haoyue. With something like that, Haoyue would be able to complete its final evolution as quickly as possible.
This was also the first time Haoyue had told Long Haochen that it was nearing the completion of its final evolution.
The reason why Long Haochen had asked the king of Easton whether he wanted the Tree of Destruction to be completely destroyed was so he could rightfully offer it to Haoyue. He was still uncertain whether the Tree of Destruction was truly destroyed. However, there was one thing he was certain about. Anything that entered Haoyue's stomach would never make its way out again, especially when Haoyue had told him beforehand that the Tree of Destruction was on a different level to it and hence it was impossible for Hao Yue to regurgitate it back up.
By now, Sisi was completely stunned. Her final ray of hope was destroyed. Suddenly, she let out a scream. Clutching her head, she began to toss and turn on the ground in agony.
No matter how beautiful of a young girl she was, it was horrific to see her scream in pain like that. Long Haochen was surprised by this. It was impossible for her to come in contact with his seal at a time like this.
“King of Easton, what's wrong with her?”
Seeing Sisi's pain, the king of Easton rejoiced instead, “Powerful human friend, you've really done it. You've actually done it. She must have offered up all of the darkness within her soul to the Tree of Destruction. Now that the Tree of Destruction's been completely destroyed, the darkness of her soul has shattered accordingly. She's lost a part of her soul, which is why she's in such agony. Look, the darkness attribute spiritual energy has begun to collapse. Haha, once the Nightmoon Queen of the Dark Night Fairies loses her powers of darkness, Easton will experience a very long period of peace. The threat of the Tree of Destruction's gone as well. Friend, thank you. My friendship will accompany you for all of eternity.”
Although the Dark Night Fairies were not a particularly large threat to the king of Easton, they constantly disturbed the peace of Easton. Especially with what the Nightmoon Queen had done this time, he was obviously extremely wary of them now. Now that the Nightmoon Queen's soul was damaged and she had lost her powers of darkness, it meant that the Dark Night Fairies had lost their leader and obviously would not be able to create any disturbances anymore. What made the king of Easton even happier was that the Tree of Destruction, the issue most difficult to deal with, had been completely destroyed by Long Haochen as well. From now onwards, he could rest at ease. With his cultivation, nothing in the world of Easton could pose a threat to him anymore.
At this moment, Long Haochen's heart suddenly thumped. He instinctively summoned the cracked Aria of the Goddess of Light and the Blue Rain Hibiscus of Light.
The two divine swords were permanently damaged from the clash earlier. Their auras were extremely weak, butLong Haochen could sense a weak but extremely familiar aura of life from the swords at this moment.
Almost without any hesitation at all, Long Haochen said to the king of Easton, “I need the amplification that your domain of life provides. Help me out.”
