Chapter 862: The God of Heavenly Wrath, the Nine-headed Chimera (I)

The Moon Demon God Agares smiled bitterly, “Only if I was trying to frighten you. If that’s really the case, why would I do all this? Do you think that his majesty will spare me after we get through all of this? It’s still not too late for you to take action right now. Austin Griffin still hasn’t awakened completely. Sure, it’s your companion, your brother right now, but once it truly awakens, it is a representation of pure destruction. No one can stop it. Not even gods! I know you don’t believe me. Currently, you possess the upper hand. His majesty and I are not your opponent. However, can you give me a few minutes so I can tell you a story?”
After a moment of thought, Long Haochen nodded, “Please tell me.”
Agares sighed deeply, “The story starts seven thousand years ago in a realm extremely similar to the Shengmo Dalu. Perhaps the creatures there were different, but the rulers of that world were also humans. The entire continent would regularly experience conflict, but it was basically all under the humans’ control. In that realm, forests and lakes took up an extremely large area. It was even prettier than the Shengmo Dalu right now. This continued until one day, the appearance of a powerful existence changed it all.”
“This powerful existence was Austin Griffin. When it first appeared, it only had three heads. While it was not weak, it was just a slightly stronger magical beast in the eyes of the humans that it encountered. There were even humans who tried to kill it, but it managed to flee craftily.”
As time went on, Austin Griffin began to evolve slowly. Gradually, it gained a fourth and a fifth head. Because of the humans’ attempts to hunt it down, it began to learn how to bide its time, hiding in the safe depths of the forest and slowly evolving its powers. When it appeared before the humans again, it already possessed six heads, which were six elements. It had already become rather powerful then. Regular human powerhouses were nowhere close to being its opponent.”
“It began slaughtering humans in revenge. Despite its intelligence, it was still unable to take on the human powerhouses, while its cultivation continued to evolve at a steady pace. After a hundred years, it finally grew its eighth head. At that time, it believed it was powerful enough, so it no longer hid anymore, fully displaying its terrifying power of destruction. Its terrifying strength made it almost invincible. After causing several massacres, it finally raised the attention of the humans. A large quantity of human powerhouses from that realm gathered together and began to hunt it down. Finally, they trapped it in a valley and engaged in an intense battle.
“The eight-headed Austin Griffin was very powerful, but there was just too many humans. After a battle that lasted for two days and two nights, Austin Griffin was finally defeated and heavily wounded. However, it had to be mentioned that with eight heads, it was already rather powerful, so it managed to escape. Its escape also happened to be the biggest mistake that the humans of that realm had committed, leading to destruction of all life in that realm.”
“After escaping, Austin Griffin engaged in secluded cultivation, using over another century to recover. It knew that it was not powerful enough to dominate the entire realm. As a result, it hid away and continued to cultivate, until over another century later, it finally completed its final breakthrough, finally awakening. It reappeared on the continent and this time, it became synonymous with destruction.”
Reaching there, fear flooded Agares’ eyes. This story had been passed down among the demons. Although he had not been present when it happened, Agares still experienced deep fear even when it came from the memories of the first Moon Demon God.
The Demon God Emperor lowered his head and said nothing. He let Agares continue his narration.
“There was destruction, endless destruction. When Austin Griffin appeared in that realm again, the entire continent faced a terrifying storm of destruction. Austin Griffin was just too powerful, so powerful that nothing could oppose it. Nothing could oppose its terrifying destruction. In less than a month, it had killed all of the creatures over a third of the continent. Whether it were plants, magical beasts or regular creatures, they were all reduced to nothing before its aura of destruction. A third of the continent lost everything that once lived there, unable to recover ever again.”
“The humans also experienced great fear. However, there were a tremendous number of human powerhouses in that realm back then. There were even over a dozen half-god existences who forcefully suppressed their cultivation from breaking through. It was possible to say that there were even more powerhouses in that realm than what the Shengmo Dalu currently has. Just the powerhouses on par to the Demon God Emperor reached double digits. They had tried using their strongest powerhouses against Austin Griffin, but all of it failed. The Austin Griffin at that time had already become a symbol of invincibility, unable to fall in battle. Even true gods were not its opponent after awakening its ninth head.”
“In order to stop its destruction, for the sake of the future of humanity, all of the human powerhouses gathered together. With the force of several tens of thousand people, they gathered the most valuable resources and wealth humanity had to offer. While Austin Griffin was destroying the continent, they used a month to create a great array specifically designed against Austin Griffin. On the day the array was completely, all the human powerhouses who created the array, over ten thousand of them, died. They used their essence blood to nurture the might of the array. The array was known as the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens. It was also during that short month that Austin Griffin destroyed another third of the continent. Over half of all creatures in that realm had died to its terrifying aura of destruction. Finally, it arrived before the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens. It was just too proud, so proud that it refused to believe anything in that realm could stand up against it. As a result, it finally ended up in the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens, and it was finally sealed within the array, without any way of breaking out.
Reaching there, Agares looked at Long Haochen deeply and said sternly, “Austin Griffin’s pride forbid it from being sealed like this. It was unwilling, unwilling to accept its fate of just being sealed there for all of eternity. The God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens was composed of seventy-two divine tools, with three supra divine tool in the core of the array, forming a great cage. Unable to destroy the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens after a desperate struggle, Austin Griffin did something to destroy all the remaining humans and creatures. It paid its own life as the price to drag the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens down with him.”
“It used its colossal body to violently ram against the array. Finally, in the moment the array shattered, its body was destroyed as well. The terrifying force of destruction became the most terrifying power of destruction, sweeping through the entire continent and completely killing all creatures on the continent in another terrifying calamity. The God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens had completely shattered and when it shattered, it split open the space of that realm, allowing the seventy-two divine tools that formed the array to pass through space in the form of seventy-two pillars that formed the cage, finally arriving in anothe realm. That realm was called the Shengmo Dalu.”
The human powerhouses fell into an uproar when Agares reached there. The age of darkness had already lasted for over six thousand years, but the humans did not even know the true origins of the demons. Six thousand years ago, why had they appeared on the Shengmo Dalu, and why were they so powerful? Agares had finally provided an answer.
“Yes, you should have guessed it. When the seventy-two pillars arrived on your Shengmo Dalu, they were called the demon god pillars by the humans here, while the spirits of the seventy-two demon god pillars were the demon gods you speak of. In other words, his majesty, my ancestor! Due to being a different realm and the seventy-two demon god pillars also possessed great power, they immediately began to give off an assimilating aura when they landed on the Shengmo Dalu, leading to the demons now.”
“As a result, if you really must decide on who is truly responsible for the six thousand years of darkness that humanity had descended into it, it would be what you’re holding in your right hand. It is it, the symbol of destruction and annihilation, the God of Heavenly Wrath, the nine-headed chimera, Austin Griffin.”
The Moon Demon God’s elated voice made Long Haochen’s mind shudder. It was not up to him whether he believed what Agares had said, He thought of Haoyue’s realm, that world of black and red, filled with destruction and foulness. He thought of how all the undead attacked Haoyue with their full force like they were trying to eliminate a future issue. No matter how reluctant Long Haochen was in believing it, he knew that it was very likely that Agares was telling the truth. Otherwise, why would both he and the Demon God Emperor fear Haoyue so much, and why would only Haoyue’s powers be effective against the seventy-two demon god pillars that could not be destroyed by anything else?
All of this had been answered by Agares’ story.
“No, that’s impossible. When Haoyue arrived in this world, I’ve already used my own blood to wash away its darkness element. It is no longer the Austin Griffin from before. It’s my Haoyue.”
Agares nodded, “Yes, it’s not like the Austin Griffin from before. The God of Heavenly Wrath from back then has already been destroyed. However, when it broke out of the God-slaying Array of the Ten Earths and Nine Heavens, it had told us that it would return. It had nine chances to undergo rebirth. It would return alive. I don’t know how you brought it to this realm, but you have been raising a disaster for yourself.”
