The Demon King’s Appearance
After all, ancient great emperors were the strongest existences in history. Only one could be born in each era.
They were existences who had invincible might in the past and the present. When they were alive, they looked down on the entire great cosmos, and every talent would have to bow their heads. Even the former Heavenly Venerables and the Ancient Emperors of the seven great Life Forbidden Zones had to bow their heads.
The factions that those existences had built were also the most powerful in the world, with immortal inheritances that have been passed down for millions of years.
Now that the Emperor relic had appeared, within would definitely be some of the ancient great emperor’s legacy.
In the Southern Desolate Land, countless forces rushed to the Taiyi Holy Land.
Countless powerful auras appeared, covering Heaven and Earth, and descending into the Taiyi Holy Land.
There were huge divine ships, carriages pulled by savage beasts… All of them represented the arrival of a faction. Their might suppressed a region, all majestic.
The Taiyi Holy Land was on guard as if it was facing a great enemy. Lu Xuan, the Holy Lord, had already soared into the sky with a group of elders to welcome the other parties.
He cupped his fists helplessly and said, “Welcome to the Taiyi Holy Land, Holy Lords, Family Lords, and Imperial Lords. We’re sorry for not coming out to welcome you.”
In the sky, the Holy Lords of immortal Holy Lands, Family Lords of ancient families, and Imperial Lords of ancient dynasties stood in the air. Divine might that could shake the void flowed from their bodies. Like Gods standing high in the air, they looked at the Holy Lord of the Taiyi Holy Land and nodded slightly.
After all, he was still a Holy Lord, even though his Holy Land had long declined.
However, the status of him being the Holy Lord was enough for him to be on an equal footing with them. Nodding in acknowledgment was a form of respect for his status.
They couldn’t ignore the fact that they were here for the Emperor relic, though. The Holy Lord from the Wanchu Holy Land said, “Taiyi Holy Lord, we’re here with the wish to take a look at the Emperor relic.”
Although he said that, his tone did not allow for any rejection.
How could the Taiyi Holy Lord reject the request? Even if he stopped them, they would still enter anyway. They were just giving him some respect.
Lu Xuan, the Taiyi Saint Lord, could only agree with a bitter smile.
The various Kings of the many factions entered one after another, heading toward the Emperor relic.
The Emperor relic was filled with boundless light. As waves of chaos energy spread, a small world appeared indistinctly.
In the small world, the light was even more dazzling, interweaved with all kinds of laws and divine chains of order. There was a magnificent palace there, which surprised and delighted all the Kings, “It’s a great Emperor’s palace!”
Only a great Emperor’s palace would be like this. The palace of an ancient great emperor would definitely contain countless treasures that tempted the Kings of the various factions to the extreme.
All the Kings rushed in to find the true divine treasure of the great Emperor.
Seeing that these Kings had completely ignored the Taiyi Holy Land, the Taiyi Holy Lord and the others could only smile bitterly. Ling Ran, who was standing behind them, remained silent.
Although she was already at level nine of the Liuhe Realm and could become a true King in the Qiyao Realm at any time, even if she succeeded, she would still be nothing compared to these Kings. After all, they were all senior Kings who had lived for one or two thousand years. Their cultivation was profound. There were even living aged fossils among them, who were only one step away from the Bahuang Realm.
On a mountain peak in the distance, Qin Chen’s figure appeared without a sound. When he saw the appearance of the great Emperor’s palace, he frowned because he had a bad feeling. It was as if there was a terrifying and ominous existence inside the palace.
All of a sudden, endless light shot up into the sky from the Emperor’s palace.
“Ah—” A scream.
In the next moment, the figures of the Kings from the Holy Lands, families, and ancient dynasties who had rushed into the great Emperor’s palace flew out one after another. Their bodies were covered in blood and they were in a sorry state. They looked at the palace with shock and anger.
Boom!
An extremely terrifying demonic energy suddenly soared into the sky and swept across the entire Taiyi Holy Land.
The demonic might was unparalleled, even much stronger than the various Kings.
It was mighty and fierce!
“This demonic energy… Shit! Could it be that the ancient race Demon King that had been sealed by the Sage back then is in the great Emperor’s palace?” The Taiyi Holy Lord and the elders’ expressions changed. They felt the familiar demonic energy. It was similar to the demonic energy Zhao Yi had released back then, only countless times stronger.
In the great Emperor’s palace, a tall and burly giant man appeared. He had nine huge horns on his head, and his whole body was shrouded in ink-black demonic energy. He was fifteen feet tall and held a giant ax. His body exuded an unparalleled aura, which caused the surrounding void to collapse. It was difficult to withstand his demonic might.
“Not good, there’s a demonic creature, and it’s very strong. I’m afraid it’s a Venerable of the Bahuang Realm!”
The expressions of all the Kings changed. Not long ago, a Supreme Elder of a Holy Land had been torn in half by a demonic creature and died a tragic death. Even his primordial spirit had been devoured.
Outside the great Emperor’s palace, all the Kings looked at this demon-like man with grave expressions. He was extremely powerful, and they all felt great pressure.
Among them, a few of the Qiyao Realm Kings were injured. They were wounded with injuries so deep that their bones could be seen, and the terrifying demonic energy on the wounds was like maggots that could not be removed. Even with their King-level cultivation, they were unable to dispel it in a short time. One could imagine how terrifying this demonic energy was.
“How is this the great Emperor’s palace? it’s clearly a demonic palace. My God, if it weren’t for the arrival of all the Kings, the Taiyi Holy Land would have been razed to the ground today,” An elder of the Taiyi Holy Land couldn’t help but say.
The appearance of the great Emperor’s palace was a great temptation for the Taiyi Holy Land. After all, the Holy Land might even be able to become stronger and return to its former glory with the Emperor relic. However, if the demon Venerable were to reappear, it would be a great disaster for the Taiyi Holy Land. It would destroy the entire place.
Now, the Taiyi Holy Land was relieved that the Kings of the other Holy Lands, ancient families, and ancient dynasties had all come. At least, they would be able to contain the demonic creature.
The giant man who looked like a Demon King laughed out loud, his voice reverberating in all directions, “After so many years, I, Yang Tiancheng, have finally broken free!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s faces changed.
“Yang Tiancheng? Could it be the Demonic Venerable, Yang Tiancheng, who shook the Central Province three thousand years ago?”
“I’m afraid it’s really that Demonic Venerable. I didn’t expect that he would be trapped here and has now come out!”
Three thousand years ago, a Demonic Venerable dominated the world. Only a few peerless Venerables could compete with him.
However, that year, the Demonic Venerable suddenly disappeared. Could it be that he had been trapped in the great Emperor’s palace when exploring the place?
“He isn’t the ancient race Sage-level Demon King that the Sage ancestor suppressed?” The Taiyi Holy Lord frowned, “But how did Yang Tiancheng enter the great Emperor’s palace in the Taiyi Holy Land?”
He simply couldn’t understand the cause and effect.
The Demonic Venerable Yang Tiancheng’s eyes were as dark as the night. He scanned the many Kings present and felt the exuberant blood energy in their bodies. He licked his lips and said, “If not for the seal array left behind by ancient Sage Tai Yun, I wouldn’t have been trapped here for 3000 years. Now that I’ve finally made it out, I didn’t expect to see so much blood for food.”
He looked at the Kings like he was looking at delicious food.
