Fighting the Masked Man

Chapter 598 Return
This is a huge dark palace. Ink-black air is surging inside the palace, as if it can swallow up all life. It looks gloomy and cold.

Inside the hall, there were black stone seats that stretched backwards. At this moment, on those seats, there were many figures sitting cross-legged. These figures were surrounded by a dark and evil aura, causing the space to vibrate slightly.

The entire hall exudes a heart-pounding and desperate atmosphere, like a lair of demons.

In the center, there are thirty-two black thrones extending in an arch shape to both sides. On these thrones, there are also majestic figures sitting cross-legged. As the demon shadows breathe out, there is a monstrous demonic energy, forming different demon statues behind them, emitting endless and terrifying demonic power.

Faced with this demonic power, the other dark shadows in the huge hall all bowed their heads slightly, showing their respect.

In the center of the thirty-two thrones, there was a figure with devil flames rising from his body. The devil flames sometimes appeared as black as ink, and sometimes emitted pure white light. The two flowed and changed, looking extremely strange.

Under the devilish flames were a pair of emotionless eyes. Wherever their gazes swept, even the space was trembling slightly, as if it could not withstand the gaze of these eyes.

"Haven't you found it yet?" His cold voice was free of any emotion and slowly echoed in the Demon Palace.

This person is the patriarch of the Holy Demon Clan, the leader of the thirty-two major clans, the number one evil demon under the Heavenly Evil God, the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor, who is extremely powerful and has already touched the realm of "God".

"There is no clue. The Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor has dealt with his aura very cleanly. It seems that the great battle tens of thousands of years ago has left him with a big shadow. He is so cautious even when returning home!" The demon shadow who spoke was emitting billions of demonic lights. Behind him, the space was rippling, as if it contained a sea of ​​demons. The demonic power was astonishing.

This person is the patriarch of the Lingmo clan, one of the thirty-two major clans, the Lingtian Demon Emperor.

"What on earth does this old thing want to do! Did you, the Demon Devouring Clan, really not receive any news at all?!" a demon shadow spoke in a grim tone, and as the words fell, there seemed to be endless sword lights flashing around his body, cutting through the surrounding space, revealing his sharp edges, and his eyes were filled with endless murderous intent and violent aura.

This man was none other than the leader of the Sword Demon Clan, the Sky-Slaying Demon Emperor.

Over the past ten years, he has been searching for the aura of the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor many times, but has not caught even a trace of him. He could only watch as the soul mark of the Sky-Sword Demon Emperor was completely extinguished... That old guy actually refined the Demon Emperor of the Sword Demon Clan!
This was no less than a slap in the face and a provocation to the Sword Demon Clan.

"Of course I don't know. There's no need for you to ask me about this. If the ancestor really returns, I won't deliberately hide anything!" The current patriarch of the Demon Devouring Clan said gloomily and coldly. During this period of time, he was often troubled by the patriarchs of various clans. He didn't expect that the ancestor who had been missing for nearly 50,000 years could "come back to life" again and do so many great things, even swallowing the Demon Emperor of the Sword Demon Clan.

Of course, this matter made him feel secretly happy.

After all, ever since the death of the ancestor, the status of the Demon-Devouring Clan among the thirty-two major clans has taken a sharp turn for the worse, falling from the top few clans to the back positions.

"Compared to this matter, I am more interested in what the Blood Demon Ancestor said. He said that the Sky-Devouring Demon Emperor opened his Holy Eye... Is this true or false?" A demon shadow slowly opened his eyes. Those eyes seemed to be connected to an abyss. His pupils were in the shape of black vortices, exuding an extremely weird and evil meaning, as if as long as you look into his eyes, your consciousness will sink into it completely.

Holy Eyes is the name given by the evil race from outside the domain. It can also be called Evil Eyes. Among the entire evil race from outside the domain, only the royal families of the Holy Demon Clan and the Sky Demon Clan are qualified to open them.

The Demon Devouring Clan is obviously not among them.

"Whether it is true or false, you will naturally figure it out when you find him!" The Blood Demon Ancestor said coldly with gloomy eyes. He had the Blood God's Demon Eye and the Origin of the Sea of ​​Blood taken away by Yao Yan's evil clone. All his accumulation of tens of thousands of years had been used to help the other party. This feeling of aggrieved could not be described in words.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, the space above the Ten Thousand Demons Palace suddenly twisted, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Although the Ten Thousand Demons have not gathered together now, the demon shadow that may appear here is at least a Demon Emperor in strength, and there are dozens of Heavenly Demon Emperors. Everyone looked over in unison, and the sense of oppression made the space stagnate in an instant.

But a pair of hands simply ignored the pressure from the crowd and forcibly tore the space apart. At the same time, the figure of the Demon Emperor Tuntian appeared in everyone's sight.

"Everyone, long time no see!" Yao Yan smiled faintly and walked out of the space crack completely. At the same time, the terrifying pressure from the peak of the Demon Emperor swept over, instantly dispersing the pressure from everyone.

"Have you recovered your strength?!" When Demon Emperor Zhantian felt the aura on Yao Yan, the murderous intent in his eyes immediately subsided. He said in a deep voice with a bit of fear.

The combat power of the Devouring Demon Emperor at his peak in the past was enough to rank among the top five in the sequence of the Heavenly Demon Emperors. In particular, he possessed nine demon hearts, which made him extremely difficult to deal with. Back then, relying on the nine indestructible demon hearts, he roamed the battlefield, and countless Heavenly Supremes died at his hands. In the end, he even killed his way into the heart of the Great Thousand Worlds and fought to the death with the Heavenly Emperor of the Great Thousand Worlds.

That battle record was quite brilliant, even the Demon Emperor Zhantian had to admit how powerful this old guy was.

"I have been sealed for tens of thousands of years. If I don't recover my strength, I dare not come back rashly... If I am attacked by some people again, it would be really unfair!" Yao Yan glanced at the Blood Demon Ancestor and smiled coldly.

"Congratulations to the ancestor for his return!" The Demon Devouring Clan's patriarch felt the aura of the Sky Devouring Demon Emperor and immediately bowed his hands in congratulations. Both parties were from the same clan, so he naturally stood on the side of his ancestor, especially since the ancestor's strength had recovered to its peak, which was great news for the Demon Devouring Clan.

Yao Yan glanced at the Demon Devouring Clan's patriarch and nodded slightly. He had found out information about this person from the memory of the Sky Devouring Demon Emperor. The other party was the Demon Devouring Clan's patriarch, and was from the same clan as the Sky Devouring Demon Emperor. He was even a direct descendant of the Sky Devouring Demon Emperor. His strength was also not weak, and was at the level of a mid-stage Sky Demon Emperor.

"Is this the reason why you attacked the Demon Emperor of my clan? I can understand that this is your declaration of war on my clan?!" The Demon Emperor Zhantian asked with cold eyes.

"If you understand it this way, I don't mind~" Yao Yan responded indifferently, and slowly fell from mid-air, landing steadily on the throne of the Devouring Demon Clan. The Devouring Demon Clan leader, who was supposed to be sitting cross-legged on it, stood up very sensibly and stood on one side. The backbone of the clan returned, and the power naturally had to be handed over. The foreign evil clans all spoke with fists, and the strength and combat power of the ancestor did not need to be elaborated on.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yao Yan sat cross-legged on the throne, facing everyone's gaze calmly.

“You…” The Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Holy Heavenly Demon Emperor. The latter immediately set his eyes on the Heaven-Devouring Demon Emperor, with a bit of scrutiny and doubt in his eyes: “How did you get out?”

The relationship between the evil race outside the domain and the Great Thousand World is like fire and water. With the status of the Devouring Demon Emperor, once his identity is exposed, he will inevitably be hunted down and intercepted by the Great Thousand World. The chance of breaking out is extremely low. Moreover, they did not get any news of it in advance, and the other party suddenly jumped out like this.

"A number one figure has recently appeared in the Universe. He proclaimed himself the Emperor of Heaven and ascended from the lower planes. As soon as he entered the Universe, he entered the realm of the Supreme Heaven. A few years later, he broke into the holy realm and became the master of the Tianluo Continent. Later, he opened the ruins of the ancient heavenly palace and broke the seal that the Emperor of Heaven had placed on me, intending to completely wipe me out. During that time, I blew up a demon heart and successfully escaped from his control, but was intercepted by his opponent halfway. However, that guy was a bit arrogant, and intended to train me into an avatar, but I counterattacked him and took over his body!" Yao Yan smiled sinisterly, and the scarlet light in his eyes revealed a bit of amusement and coldness.

"?!" The demons were all stunned when they heard this, and for a moment they doubted their ears.

“Demon Emperor Tuntian, are you sure you are not joking? People from the lower planes have just entered the universe and have already reached the level of Heavenly Supreme, and will break into the level of Saint within a few years? What a joke!” A towering demon shadow could no longer sit still and questioned.

The Sky Supreme of the Great Thousand World is equivalent to the Demon Emperor of the evil race outside the domain, and the three realms of the Spirit Immortal Saint are equivalent to the three realms of the Netherworld. Now someone tells him that someone has achieved the Sky Demon Emperor from the Netherworld Demon Emperor in just a few years. How can this not be shocking? Even among the evil race outside the domain, such an outrageous thing has never happened.

"Whether it's true or false, you can verify it yourself. But if you meet this new Heavenly Emperor in the future, you'd better be careful. This person is very likely to have inherited the ancient Heavenly Emperor's one qi into three pure ones. It's hard to say how strong he is now!" Yao Yan boasted to add some pressure to the evil clan from outside the domain.

The holy demon flames lingering around the Holy Demon Emperor flickered, emitting endless demonic power, causing the scene to calm down slightly. Then he slowly said, "It should be true. Over the years, many powerful people have been born in the world. It is normal for one or two outliers to appear."

There was a pause.

He calmed people down and said, "However, no matter how talented he is, he can't reach the level of the Immortal Emperor within a few hundred years... The future of the universe is destined to belong to us, and my God will also be destined to overlook this world!"

"I also want to ask you about this matter. Why is my God sealed in the northern wilderness of the universe? With the strength of the Immortal Emperor, he should not be able to do this... And you, why is my God sealed, but you are safe and sound!" Yao Yan questioned the Holy Demon Emperor in turn, with a hint of anger in his words.

The moment the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet. Even the Demon Emperor Zhantian, who had wanted to cause trouble for Yao Yan before, looked unnatural for a moment. After all, the eldest brother of the clan was sealed, but the younger brothers were safe and sound. This in itself was a bit unreasonable.

The God of Evil is the belief of the evil tribes from outside the domain!

“The Immortal Emperor joined forces with a dozen of the highest-ranking saints to form a formation, and sealed my god at the cost of sacrificing themselves… But the day when the seal is lifted is not far away, and when that time comes, we will go to bring my god back!” The Holy Demon Emperor frowned slightly and explained in a concentrated voice.

However, he did not say much about the details. Some things are not suitable for too many people to know. After all, being sealed by the Immortal Emperor was part of the plan of the Evil God and was the most important part of his invasion of the universe.

In fact, after occupying the Great Thousand World, Tian Xie Shen discovered that something was wrong. The will of the Great Thousand World was too tenacious. It could suppress his cultivation and purify the evil spirit at the same time. Even if they occupied half of the Great Thousand World, it would be difficult to completely turn it into the territory of the foreign evil clan. Even if they left it alone, after ten thousand years, the occupied place would return to its original state.

This incomplete occupation is obviously not in the interests of the Heavenly Evil God and the evil tribes outside the domain.

Therefore, Tianxie God decided to completely integrate into the universe. Only in this way could he completely release his own power and no longer be affected by the power of the universe.

"Do you have a plan?" Yao Yan looked at the Holy Demon Emperor and asked.

"You don't need to worry too much about my god being sealed. The plan has been basically completed, and we are just waiting for the day when the seal is lifted!" Saint Heavenly Demon Emperor said in a deep voice. After a pause, he continued, "Blood Demon Ancestor said that you opened the Holy Eye. Can you let me see it?"

"Om~"

Upon hearing this, Yao Yan immediately opened the vertical pupil between his eyebrows, and an evil yet sacred aura instantly manifested. The invisible pressure even made the Demon Emperor present feel restrained. That restraint came from his own evil energy, as if the aura of the person in front of him had surpassed their evil energy.

"How is this possible? How did you do it?!" The chief of the Sky Demon Clan was the first one who couldn't sit still. He stood up suddenly and stared at the vertical pupil between Yao Yan's eyebrows, feeling the breath transmitted from it. His eyes were flickering, revealing disbelief.

Many people in the evil tribe outside the domain have evil eyes. This manifestation itself is a kind of reverence for the God of Heavenly Evil and a manifestation of the origin of evil. However, no one has ever been able to transform it into a holy eye!
The Holy Demon Emperor also stared at Yao Yan with some doubt and vigilance in his eyes, because the other party's evil eye transformed into a holy pupil, which in itself was something beyond common sense. At the same time, it would also become an outlier, threatening the status of the Holy Demon Clan and the Heavenly Demon Clan.

The awakening of the Holy Eye means that the source of evil energy in the Devouring Demon Emperor's body has become infinitely close to the Heavenly Evil God, and all the evil tribes outside the domain regard the Heavenly Evil God as their belief.

What this means is self-evident.

"It's just a coincidence~" Yao Yan was brief and to the point, without any intention of explaining too much. He just looked at the Saint Demon Emperor calmly, with no ripples in his eyes. He returned to the extraterritorial evil clan with great achievements, and he didn't believe that the Saint Demon Emperor would turn against him now.

Once today passes, the future will no longer be decided by the Holy Demon Emperor!
The Holy Demon Emperor looked at Yao Yan, who was unwilling to say more, with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, because this was the first Demon Emperor in tens of thousands of years who dared to directly reject his will. A disobedient Demon Emperor, no matter how powerful he was, was obviously not what he needed.
