At the same moment, 160,000 miles away, on the seabed 20,000 miles deep, the figure of the Sunset Demon Emperor appeared without warning. The surroundings were absolutely dark, without the slightest light, as if it were an eternally silent dark world.
The four kings stood silently beside the demon emperor, not daring to make a move. They could sense that countless terrifying evil spirits roamed in this eerie darkness, making their hair stand on end.
"Don't test them, keep quiet..."
A majestic voice quietly echoed deep within the minds of the four kings; it was the Demon Emperor's timely reminder just as they were about to unleash their divine senses to scan the area.
The situation deep within the Sea of Evil Souls was even worse than the Sunset Demon Emperor had imagined. Relying solely on its instinctive intuition, it had captured thousands of evil souls within a radius of a thousand miles, all comparable to the sixth-level Sovereigns. Furthermore, there were more than a dozen other souls with completely different auras, undoubtedly the overlords among the evil souls, whose strength was suspected to be on par with the Sovereigns of the seventh and eighth palaces.
"........"
At this moment, all four kings sensed the omnipresent aura of tyranny. Every creature slumbering in the darkness seemed to carry a terrible plague, causing them to tremble with fear.
The Sunset Demon Emperor was extremely relieved that it had come in person. Otherwise, its four kings would probably have been swallowed up by the countless waves of evil souls before they even got close to the Abyss of Despair.
"clang!--"
"Boom--!"
Just then, an extremely faint bell rang out from the deeper depths. The bell tolled endlessly, and with each ring, the entire vast abyss trembled slightly.
"His Majesty?!"
The Gluttonous King was startled. At the end of the sound source, it smelled a faint human scent, and its face turned extremely ugly.
"I know......"
The Sunset Demon Emperor, along with the four kings, continued to descend slowly. Wherever they passed, there were no ripples or sounds. They were as light as ghosts, falling thousands of miles again.
The bells at the bottom of the sea grew louder and louder, to the point of being deafening. At the same time, the most powerful evil spirits, which were stationed on this last level and about to enter the Abyss of Despair, numbered nine and were comparable to the rulers of the Eight Palaces.
The sound of the bell swept over like an invisible bone-scraping knife, causing the four kings' blood and qi to surge, almost injuring them. They were all in a frenzy, wishing they could go down and kill the mysterious bell-bearer immediately.
Meanwhile, within the Despair Abyss, a tall, slender figure in black robes, radiating a faint crimson light, stood in the vast sea. Before him was a massive stone gate, sealed with countless talismans and chains forged from various peerless divine metals.
The stone gate towers over 20,000 meters high; compared to it, the mysterious man is as insignificant as an ant.
"clang!!!"
This human cultivator held a large bronze bell and continuously cast spells to vibrate it. The sound of the bell crashed against the stone gate like a tidal wave, and the countless talismans sealed on it dimmed and broke one by one.
"Boom!"
"Boom!!!"
Intermittent, heavy thuds, like the low murmurs of ancient gods, came from behind the stone door. However, no matter how the creatures behind the door struggled, it was all in vain; the stone door remained tightly shut.
The magic array set up by six demon emperors and three supreme human Dao Lords was truly terrifying. It remained unbreakable even under the erosion of time and the impact of the root plague behind the gate.
However, the talismans pasted all over the stone gate were being silently dissolved. It was not a violent dismantling, but a natural dismantling. The secret lay in the bronze bell that was constantly vibrating.
However, the bell ringer of unknown origin was completely unaware of the approaching danger.
The Sunset Demon King, lurking in the distance, had a chilling gaze. When it saw the scene on the stone gate, it was also horrified.
Among the nine different sealing methods, one array called 'Light of Dust' has been completely destroyed. It was an array created by a supreme human Dao Lord, which used the power of starlight from the infinite universe to gather in one place for suppression and sealing.
The talisman that is now being dismantled is also a contingency plan left behind by another supreme Dao Lord. There are hundreds of millions of talismans, but the mysterious bell ringer has been shaking it here at a slow pace for countless years, and nearly one-tenth of them have been dismantled.
There are many evil spirits outside, and ordinary rulers and Dao Lords cannot get in at all, which means they cannot stop this person's scheme.
With a single glance, the Sunset Demon Emperor knew that the person was at the level of a peerless Dao Lord and possessed the correct... no, it should be said that he had the orthodox means of countering the opponent. Otherwise, he would not have been able to defeat the powerful with the weak and break the formation left behind by the Supreme Dao Lord.
Those Dao Lords back then risked their lives to seal away the root of the plague, not so that future generations would release it again.
Thinking of this, the Sunset Demon Emperor deduced that the inheritors of the Daoist lineage left behind by those Dao Lords might have been killed; otherwise, there would be no way they would have handed over such important methods to outsiders.
"A mere human dares to cause trouble in my clan's forbidden area? I, the Emperor, would like to see who you really are and who is behind you!"
The Sunset Demon Emperor instantly felt murderous intent, and suddenly stretched out his right hand, piercing through dozens of miles of space, directly hitting the back of the human's neck.
"what!!!"
A piercing, sharp roar echoed through the abyss; it was a sound that no human could possibly make.
At this moment, the Sunset Demon Emperor's face darkened slightly, and his five fingers suddenly burst forth with terrifying blood-red demonic fire, burning away the black blood that the peerless Dao Lord had splashed out.
With just one strike, this mysterious creature in human skin was severely injured and brought to the brink of death, constantly emitting sharp whistling sounds.
Instantly, the entire abyss trembled violently, and countless evil spirits awoke from their slumber, launching a siege against the Demon Emperor and the Four Kings.
"It's an evil spirit possessing my body?!"
When the Gluttonous King saw through the human's disguise, he was shocked. It turned out that the body of a peerless Dao Lord had been hollowed out, and inside was an incomparably powerful evil soul.
"Roar!!!"
Outside the abyss, countless evil souls gathered in an instant. Looking around, there were dozens of them that rivaled the Eighth Palace Ruler, and nearly a thousand that were comparable to the Sixth and Seventh Palace Rulers, a truly terrifying lineup.
"Release it, you monster! Otherwise, you won't leave this place today."
An unfathomable evil spirit, threatening fiercely, possessed extremely high intelligence, rather than being in a dazed state. Among those dozens of top-tier evil spirits, its strength was among the best.
"Heh, so the ruler of the demon race has also graced us with his presence... Since you're here, there's no need for you to leave."
Another evil spirit let out a chilling laugh.
"Do these half-dead remnants lingering at the bottom of the sea dare to speak like that?" Dark Blade King sneered.
Even when faced with an endless tide of evil spirits, the four kings were not afraid, because with the Demon Emperor present, no matter how many evil spirits there were, they were just slightly larger grasshoppers.
"Fine, it doesn't matter if you don't release them. Just use your lives to fill the new void."
Before the words were finished, the tense atmosphere was interrupted by a cold laugh:
"I see that you remnants have been living in a daze for too long. In that case, I will send you on your way today."
"Boom!!!"
In an instant, the Sunset Demon Emperor unleashed a terrifying aura, as terrifying as a black hole that devoured everything in the world. With just his pressure, he caused countless waves of evil souls to explode like a continuous barrage of firecrackers.
"what!!!"
Even the strongest evil spirits could not withstand such power and were suppressed to the point of being unable to move.
"Pong!"
The Sunset Demon Emperor pointed forward, and the dazzling crimson flames, like tiny lines of fire, swept across thousands of miles, then unleashed an endless sea of crimson fire.
All darkness receded, replaced by blinding firelight. The raging fire tormented the evil spirits here, causing them to wail in agony, before they were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Even the powerful evil spirit of the Eight Palaces Ruler was powerless to resist and was crushed like an ant.
This is the Demon Emperor of the Nine Palaces and Eight Stars, the undisputed strongest being of our time.
The wails of the evil spirits echoed throughout the dark world. They finally remembered the fear etched deep into their souls: the one who had come to the abyss was the Demon Emperor, the being that had suppressed them for tens of thousands of years, making it impossible for them to breathe.
Long ago, the Sea Abyss was also home to a Demon Emperor, namely the Nine Palaces Ruler, who guarded the seal.
As time passed, the sealed abyss remained peaceful, while the demon race suffered heavy losses in the great war with the human race, forcing them to leave and join the battlefield.
From that time onward, no demon emperor came to guard the sea again, and the evil spirits in the sea, freed from restraint, became increasingly rampant, having long forgotten the fear of that year.
Until this moment, the Sunset Demon Emperor displayed unparalleled overwhelming power. These evil souls regretted their actions too late and had no chance to escape.
"kill--"
The Sunset Demon Emperor turned slightly to the side and uttered only one word of truth. The temperature of the crimson demon fire suddenly increased tens of thousands of times, even boiling and bubbling the cold, tens of thousands of feet deep sea. The space itself was also burned and twisted, revealing pitch-black cracks, which was extremely terrifying.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!!!"
Streams of demonic fire pierced through the bodies of countless evil souls, reducing them to ashes in less than half a breath.
"Tyrant, I will fight you to the death!!"
There were also a dozen or so of the strongest batch of evil spirits who, unable to withstand the pain of being burned, rushed toward the Sunset Demon King like moths to a flame, attempting to infect it with their own mutated plague.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
In the dazzling firelight, the evil spirits were surrounded and annihilated by the numerous demonic flames before they could even get close.
All their efforts were in vain; they tried their best but could not shake the Sunset Demon King.
Seeing this, the four kings secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If His Majesty had not been with them, they would have been doomed to die if they had encountered such a massive number of evil spirits surrounding them.
However, the next moment, a hoarse and deep voice echoed on the seabed, originating from behind the stone gate.
Why are you stopping me?
"You...want power...?"
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, the four kings were suddenly terrified. The eerie voice was incredibly alluring, as if it had taken root directly in their souls. Just as they instinctively wanted to turn around and leave, they stopped in their tracks.
The Sunset Demon Emperor slowly turned his head, looking at the majestic, ancient stone gate. His calm gaze seemed to see through the stone gate the indescribable source of the plague.
The Sunset Demon Emperor smiled faintly at its questioning and seduction:
"There's no need for strength."
"......"
The root cause of the disease behind Shimen has been separated from the outside world for a long time, resulting in severe deterioration of language ability and even the loss of basic speaking logic, which makes it seem particularly strange.
One second he was questioning these demonic beings why they were hindering his resurrection, and the next second he was trying to win them over with his power.
It remained silent for a few breaths, seemingly unwilling, and then spoke again:
“I know your inner desires and have helped me out of my predicament. In the future, I will repay you a hundredfold or a thousandfold.”
"Don't even think about it."
The Sunset Demon Emperor refused without even thinking.
It really dared not release this root disease. At first, it had intended to use it, but now it has no intention of doing so at all.
The aura of the five demons was so close to the stone gate that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were practically touching it.
The source of the plague can transmit divine thoughts, and it probably also remembers their scent. Once it escapes, it will bring a terrible catastrophe.
The ancient seal was only one-ninth abolished, and with the weakened power of the root disease, there was absolutely no way it could escape.
"Wait! Stop it!!"
Seemingly sensing the Demon Emperor's plan, the cries of the source of the plague became anxious and frantic.
"May you forever remain in darkness."
With his powerful divine sense, the Sunset Demon Emperor completely ignored the threats and temptations of the forbidden creature.
Amidst its roars, it waved its right hand, instantly sealing off the entire sea area spanning tens of thousands of miles, setting up a special field within which countless black lightning bolts lurked.
Each bolt of black lightning was as if it had personally struck, enough to annihilate any peerless Dao Lord or the Eight Palace Sovereign who approached. Moreover, any creature that intruded into this place would be detected by it in real time, completely sealing off any possibility of the root plague escaping.
"Roar!"
Finally, the moment the field was set up, the stone gate let out an extremely angry roar, which was distorted and chilling. Unfortunately, it could not shake the stone gate in the slightest. Even though the seal from the outside was only about eight-ninths of its power, it was enough to imprison the root plague here forever.
"Walk."
The Sunset Demon Emperor turned away indifferently, tearing open another black spatial rift, and departed with the four kings without pausing for even a moment, leaving behind a frenzied roar that reverberated throughout the dark abyss.
The evil spirits spent hundreds of years breaking one-ninth of the seal, but now it has been reinforced again.
The forbidden creature behind the door was filled with resentment, despair, and hatred that exceeded its limits. It howled for a long time in that unknown world, almost turning into a madman.
Chapter 572 Unprecedented, Above the Ultimate
Tianyuan, more than 900 million kilometers away, with a beam of light sweeping across the void and reaching the mortal world, Jiang Mo returned. He was covered in demon blood, like a demon god who had crawled out of purgatory.
The vast天地 (heaven and earth) and the expansive mountains and rivers all fell into a kind of oppressive atmosphere under his natural and unrestrained aura.
"Wow!"
He underwent another transformation, his skin, appearance, and physique slowly changing. The characteristics of the demon race were gradually replaced by those of the human race, and in just a moment, he returned to his original appearance.
"It's over there..."
Jiang Mo hovered in the void, gazing into the distance. With an absolute difference in strength, he instantly locked onto the location of the demon envoy 'Ling Ye' amidst billions of living beings and the complex, hidden jungle.
