Chapter 753 The ancient demon god sealed for tens of thousands of years is about to awaken! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Li Chen's plan was simple and effective.

He didn't need to deliberately send Sylph or Biloid out to spread the news or create publicity.

All he needed to do was appear near the "Wailing Corridor" in that perfect "Elven King bloodline" pose, and "just happen" to be discovered by the Wind Whisperer family, or other half-elves active in the vicinity.

At that time, feeling his pure and overwhelming aura as an elven king, as well as his unfathomable strength, the entire Wind Whisperer family, and even more half-elf forces, will frantically and devoutly kneel and fawn over him like bees smelling nectar, without him needing to waste any words.

This is the natural appeal brought about by absolute bloodline and absolute strength.

Sylph and Bilodis firmly believed this.

They watched as Li Chen transformed into a faint streak of light and disappeared in the direction of the Sighing Corridor, their hearts filled with anticipation and prayer.

They had a strong premonition that when Li Chen returned from that place, their fate would be completely changed.

The Sighing Corridor, located hundreds of miles southwest of Silvershine City, is a vast area shrouded in distorting force fields and chaotic energy.

This was the first time Li Chen had ever been to this place in person.

Upon entering its borders, a desolate, ancient, and tyrannical aura immediately washes over you.

The scenery here is far more bizarre and dangerous than described in legends.

Looking up, the sky was not azure, but rather a morbid, ever-changing vortex of purplish-red and dark gray.

The enormous spatial rift, like a hideous scar, stretched across the sky, tearing open from time to time and spewing out chaotic energy streams and unknown void matter.
At times, it would slowly wriggle and merge like a living thing, emitting a twisting sound that made your teeth ache.

Further away, an entire sky was constantly "collapsed" and "reassembled," with shattered fragments of space peeling off like glass, only to be pieced back together by an invisible force, repeating endlessly, as if the very laws governing this world had been broken.

On the earth, crisscrossing cracks were bottomless, like the gaping maw of a demon, from which emanated thick, corrosive black magic energy and a nauseating stench of decaying corpses.

In some places, enormous skeletons remain, some resembling dragons, others in bizarre and unrecognizable forms. The bones are as clear as jade, and despite the passage of countless years, they still exude a chilling aura, clearly indicating that they were terrifying beings far beyond the comprehension of their time.

The air was filled with all sorts of violent energy turbulence: scorching flames ignited out of thin air, bone-chilling ice instantly froze and then exploded, twisted shadows whispered bewitching demonic sounds, and holy feathers of light and filthy dark spots eroded and annihilated each other.
This place is like a junkyard where countless different laws and forces have been forcibly shattered and mixed together.

Some bizarre creatures adapted to this extreme environment roam between ruins and energy storms.

Their shapes are distorted; some resemble pieces pieced together from the corpses of various creatures, while others are entirely composed of energy, exuding an aura of madness and destruction.

All of this silently tells the story of one fact: in the distant past, one or more wars, exceeding the limits of power in this world, truly fought on a "god-demon" level.

Only the clash of such beings could destroy a world to such an extent, causing even the laws of nature to collapse, and leaving it unable to heal itself even after countless years.

Li Chen concealed all his aura, moving through this dangerous and desolate place like an invisible ghost.

He did not choose to act recklessly because of his strength.

He knew that such ancient battlefield ruins often concealed some strange dangers at the level of rules, and even a Saint Realm expert could be caught off guard and capsize if they accidentally triggered them.

With his extraordinary intuition and keen perception of spatial fluctuations, he skillfully avoided all the wandering strange creatures, the core of the energy storm, and those seemingly calm but deadly spatial traps.

His goal was clear: the deepest part of the Sighing Corridor. After a period of stealth, he arrived at a relatively "peaceful" area.

This is the edge of a massive, circular abyss, seemingly forcibly blasted out by some force.

The abyss below was pitch black, as if even light had been swallowed up. Only the occasional flashes of eerie runes originating from the depths of the earth proved that this place was not nothingness.

"This is it." Feeling the relatively stable spatial structure and the ancient aura so rich it was almost tangible, Li Chen decided to build his "transcendental" cave dwelling here.

He needs to make some arrangements here, creating the illusion that he, "an ancient being with the blood of the Elf King," has been sleeping/cultivating/trapped here for countless years, and is now finally about to break free.

This will be the perfect opening stage for his grand performance.

A day later, the entire Silvershine City, and even several surrounding cities, were completely shaken!
An overwhelming energy surge, originating from the direction of the distant Sighing Corridor, spread out like a tide, causing continuous tremors in the earth and strange phenomena in the sky.

Various families, not only the Wind Whisperer family of the half-elf race, but also other races with various half-bloodlines, human nobles, and large mercenary groups, all received an unbelievable message through various channels.

In no time, the news spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys, becoming the focus of everyone's discussion.

Inside the tavern, the mercenaries were spitting as they spoke:
"Have you heard? Something big has happened in the Sighing Corridor! The commotion yesterday was earth-shattering! Something incredible, a rare treasure, must be about to be unearthed!"

"Bullshit! What rare treasures could warrant such a display? I bet some ancient demon god that's been sealed away for tens of thousands of years is about to awaken!"

"A demon god has awakened?! Is that good or bad? Will it affect us?"

"Who cares if it's good or bad! Fortune favors the bold. So many important people are rushing over there, let's join in the fun and maybe we can snag some bargains!"

The salons of the nobility were also filled with whispers:

"Our family spies report that the energy level deep within the Sighing Corridor is frighteningly high, and it also carries an ancient pressure that we've never seen before. Could it be that some ancient legacy has truly come to light?"

"If it is truly an ancient relic, even a sliver of opportunity would be enough to greatly increase the strength of our race!"

"What's the other families up to?"

"What other developments are there? Many clan leaders have already personally led their teams out, so the news seems to be true."

Inside the Windwhisperer family, Chief Lor'themar sat at the head of the hall, his brow furrowed.

He naturally also felt the heart-pounding anomaly of heaven and earth, as well as a certain indescribable tremor emanating from his family's bloodline.

As the head of a clan, he was more cautious than ordinary people, but also more eager for power.

The rumors may be exaggerated, but the real energy fluctuations are undeniable.

“Opportunities and risks go hand in hand,” Lorthema murmured to herself, a resolute glint in her eyes.

He feared death, but he feared the decline of his family even more, and he longed to break through the bottleneck of the Saint Realm that had troubled him for many years!
