Chapter 181 The Hall of Ten Thousand Demons
The Palace of Ten Thousand Demons stands in the middle of the territories of the five major demon clans. It is entirely constructed from the skeletons and fur of ten thousand demons, and its body is wrapped with crisscrossing ancient demon patterns.
At the very top of the hall, the Primordial Dragon Emperor stood tall and imposing, his dragon horns sharp and prominent. Although his foundation had not fully recovered, a powerful aura of a late-stage Great Emperor quietly permeated the entire Ten Thousand Demon Hall, causing the nineteen Quasi-Emperor Great Demons below to catch their breath and feel a sense of awe.
Suddenly, the Dragon Emperor's deep vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
The divine sense of the late-stage Great Emperor instantly swept across the entire Demon Beast Forest, rapidly spreading outwards and precisely locking onto Canglan City outside the Demon Beast Forest!
From the direction of Canglan City, a horrific scene of slaughtering demons and the fierce killing intent of human cultivators swept across the heavens and earth.
The five quasi-emperors of the demon race, positioned on either side below, possessed incredibly keen senses. Almost simultaneously, the nineteen quasi-emperors' divine senses detected the distant disturbance. Their expressions changed, and they all turned their heads, their gazes sharp as knives, fixed on the direction of Canglan City. The atmosphere in the hall instantly became tense.
A moment later, the slender, seven-tailed fox with its seven tails swaying gently stepped forward first, bowed slightly to the Dragon Emperor on the high throne, and spoke softly:
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it was when you broke the seal and revived the world that the dragon's might that emanated was so vast that it frightened the low-level demons on the outskirts of the Demon Beast Forest."
She continued calmly, "Those low-level demons were startled and fled in panic to the human territory, which caused the commotion."
As soon as the Seven-Tailed Fox finished speaking, the enormous Devouring Python beside her stepped forward and echoed, "Lord Dragon Emperor, the Seven-Tailed Fox is absolutely right. They are merely the lowest-ranking demons. Our Demon Beast Forest spans tens of thousands of miles and is home to billions of demons. Even if a mere few hundred thousand ant-like demons were all wiped out, it would be of no consequence to our demon race and would be utterly insignificant."
In the eyes of the demon race's quasi-emperors, these weak and vulnerable low-level demons were nothing more than the lowest level of vassals of the demon race, and their lives were of no concern.
But at that moment, the Dragon Emperor on the high throne suddenly raised his hand and roared coldly, like a thunderclap, which made the demon patterns in the Ten Thousand Demon Palace tremble violently!
"No!"
The Dragon Emperor's voice was like a booming bell, carrying boundless majesty and overwhelming rage.
"Although they are low-level demonic beasts, they are still of the same lineage as my demon race, and the blood of the demon race flows in their veins! How dare a mere human force slaughter my demon race with impunity and trample on the dignity of my demon race? This is truly outrageous!"
This roar of fury instantly caused all the quasi-emperor demons in the hall to tremble. All nineteen quasi-emperor demons froze on the spot, their faces showing astonishment.
The demons looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty.
They never expected that the newly born Dragon Emperor would be enraged over a few hundred thousand insignificant low-level demons.
For a moment, none of the demon quasi-emperors understood what the Dragon Emperor meant. Was he going to start a war with the human race directly for the sake of these lowly demons?
After a brief silence, the massive ancient bull strode out, its muscles bulging and its large, bulging eyes filled with rage.
"Your subordinate agrees with what the Dragon Emperor said! These human ants are far too presumptuous! They dare to slaughter my demon race on such a large scale; this is a blatant provocation against our entire demon race! Could it be that they, the humans, intend to wage a full-scale war against my demon forest?"
The Primordial Bull was hot-tempered and could no longer contain itself. Its quasi-emperor aura was faintly agitated, and it wished it could go out and flatten the entire Canglan City immediately.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, a calm voice suddenly rang out, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow speaking with a hint of caution:
"You stupid bull, all you know is fighting and killing. Don't you even know what the human race is like now?"
"Soul-Devouring Sparrow, try calling me a stupid bull again and see if I don't teach you a lesson!" the Primordial Bull roared.
"Hmph! What are you if not a stupid ox? The Dragon Emperor has just been born, and our demon race has not entered the world on a large scale for tens of thousands of years, so our foundation is still shallow. Even though our demon race now has the Dragon Emperor in charge, we must not start a direct war with the human race. The revival of our demon race cannot be rushed."
Upon hearing this from his high position, the Dragon Emperor's dragon eyes flickered slightly, a hint of amusement flashing across them.
These nineteen quasi-emperors have different personalities; some are radical and warlike, while others are cautious, which is quite interesting.
He suppressed his anger and spoke calmly: "Soul-Devouring Sparrow, since you have thought this through, then you shall tell me what the current state of human power is on the Xuanhuang Continent."
"Yes, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."
The Soul-Devouring Sparrow bowed slightly, its expression growing increasingly solemn. It slowly said, "Your Majesty, on the Xuanhuang Continent, the entire human race is led by the Myriad Laws Sect, whose foundation is unfathomably deep. According to our investigations, this sect is extremely mysterious, its resources terrifyingly powerful. Currently, the Myriad Laws Sect alone boasts twelve Great Emperor-level experts!"
"What did you say? Twelve great emperors?"
The Ancient Dragon Emperor, who had been sitting upright and calmly, suddenly trembled and stood up to ask!
He had been asleep and sealed away for only 130,000 years, yet the human race of the past had risen to such a terrifying level.
Seeing the Dragon Emperor's shocked expression, the Primordial Bull quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, what the Soul-Devouring Sparrow said is all true; there is not a single lie!"
"Among these twelve Great Emperors, besides the ten human Great Emperors of the Myriad Laws Sect, there are two traitors from my demon race! One is a phoenix who recently passed the Great Emperor Tribulation and attained the Dao of Emperor, and the other is a ferocious beast of mysterious origin and unknown bloodline. These two demon traitors have joined the Myriad Laws Sect, aiding and abetting evil. Including them, the Myriad Laws Sect now indeed has twelve Great Emperors!"
The Dragon Emperor looked down, his deep dragon eyes filled with disbelief, and murmured to himself, "I have only been asleep and sealed for 130,000 years... how has the human race become so powerful?"
At this moment, the Crimson Flame Tiger, clad in crimson demon armor and with a solemn expression, offered his earnest advice:
"Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, the Myriad Laws Sect not only possesses terrifying resources, but also acts with extreme tyranny and decisiveness, running rampant throughout the entire Xuanhuang Continent, with no one daring to provoke them. Not long ago, the nine great imperial-level forces of the Central Continent provoked the Myriad Laws Sect, and were subsequently wiped out by the sect, which ruthlessly destroyed three imperial clans and two holy lands—their methods are unprecedented!"
"Although our demon race now has you, a supreme expert at the late stage of the Great Emperor realm, in charge, our overall strength has surged. However, our foundation is still shallow and insufficient to contend with such a terrifying human sect. Your subordinate implores Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor to be patient for the time being, develop discreetly, and absolutely not to rashly make enemies of the human race or the Myriad Laws Sect!"
As soon as Crimson Tiger finished speaking, the irritable and warlike Primordial Bull immediately showed displeasure and retorted sharply:
"Pah! Crimson Flame Tiger! Aren't you far too cowardly and afraid of trouble!"
"Human cultivators have wantonly slaughtered hundreds of thousands of my demon race members! It is only right and proper for my demon race to retaliate! Are we to swallow our anger after being wronged? Even if the Myriad Laws Sect is domineering and powerful, can it distort the truth and forcibly interfere with my demon race's revenge?"
"Alright! Stop arguing! Do you have any way to recruit that phoenix and the ferocious beast into my demon race?" the Dragon Emperor asked in a majestic voice.
The Soul-Devouring Sparrow bowed and replied, "Dragon Emperor, it's too difficult. None of them came from our Demon Beast Forest. They should all have been cultivated by the Myriad Laws Sect itself. Let alone recruiting them, we even have difficulty seeing them."
"If we can't recruit them, so be it! For now, the demon race will follow the advice of the Soul-Devouring Sparrow and refrain from large-scale warfare with the human race. But! The massacre of hundreds of thousands of my demon race members in Canglan City cannot go unavenged. You have suffered considerable losses in helping me break the formation, so go down and recuperate today. Three days later, I will send the demon race's elite forces to destroy Canglan City. Consider it interest from the human race in advance." The Dragon Emperor said domineeringly.
The Great Ancient Bull excitedly exclaimed, "Hehe! The Dragon Emperor is absolutely right. Let's destroy Canglan City as interest for our demon race!"
The other four clan leaders exchanged glances, each weighing the pros and cons in their hearts. Destroying Canglan City shouldn't be a big problem. They then cupped their hands and replied, "We will obey the Dragon Emperor's orders."
