Everything in the world is relative.
That night, the stars were shining brightly, and the human race seemed to have welcomed the second bloom of wild flowers. The overall combat power soared greatly... This was of course excellent news for all humans, but for the demons, the prosperous scene was nothing worth appreciating... Because not a single starlight fell on the demons. In other words... the demons did not get even the last seat in this feast, and no strong man advanced under the starlight... This also led to the fact that from now on, they would be at a great disadvantage in terms of overall combat power!
They began to feel uneasy.
Then, something even more unsettling happened. A few days ago, the wise man they relied on, Mr. Ku, the military strategist of the demon clan, suddenly said, "… I have great ambitions," after spending a night observing the stars and meditating for a long time. This was an obviously half-answered and inexplicable sentence...
Then, he disappeared.
No demon knew where Mr. Ku had gone. What was even worse was that when the demons wanted to find his two disciples to ask, they found out that... His Highness Chan and His Highness Wen were both missing...
Suddenly, panic began to spread across the Tianhuang Continent...
…
…
The reason why Tianhuang Continent is called 'Tianhuang' is because this continent is too desolate. It can also be said that there are too many unknowns... Even the demons who have completely occupied the entire area have too many places they have never set foot on.
For example, a vast black desert.
The sun was blazing brightly in the sky, with an occasional black wind blowing, bringing with it a faint smell of blood. Countless mummies of strange shapes lay on the black sand, ruthlessly corroded by the years, and after being dried by the wind, they became horrifying skeletons.
Countless disgusting corpse worms shuttled through the place, feasting on the food. From time to time, one could hear the sound of teeth grinding against bones, which made one’s teeth ache…
Step, step, step.
At this moment, a light sound of footsteps came from a distance... As if sensing the smell of "delicious food", many sand dunes suddenly rose in the black sand. After the quicksand on both sides rolled down, countless weird-looking corpse worms suddenly emerged and burst out with force! In the midst of the dust, they shot at the intruders like arrows!
Then…
Then, a hand that looked somewhat white and tender, but obviously skinny, stretched out from under a black robe.
With a slight movement of his fingers, a series of loud popping sounds were heard in the field. It turned out that those hideous corpse worms suddenly twitched all over, and their bodies suddenly expanded several times. Then, they all exploded into black blood flowers in mid-air, which looked like black fireworks...
The person who could easily deal with such a large number of corpse worms and was dressed in black robes and a white mask, his identity was obvious... It was none other than the great wise man of the demon clan, Ku!
After Ku dealt with the invading enemy in one fell swoop, he moved his right hand slightly, and the black sand rose up without wind and gathered in his hand.
After stroking it for a while, he nodded slightly: "… This is it."
With a thought, he stretched out his black robe with both hands at the same time, and then, with a technique so fast that it seemed like countless phantoms, he quickly formed seals.
Immediately afterwards, blood began to flow out from the black sand and gathered at Ku's feet.
A bloody formation emerged!
In the blink of an eye, a flash of light appeared, and Ku's figure disappeared, as if he had never been there...
…
The light faded away and finally disappeared.
Ku appeared on a long straight black road.
The extremely vicious blood-curdling aura could be smelled everywhere, condensing and covering the surroundings with a layer of light blood-red mist, which seemed to be able to block all perception and block the road ahead...
In the thick fog, only countless corpses can be vaguely seen. I think... the horror buried in this bloody fog can make anyone who steps wrong pay a very heavy price.
But this is not a problem for this powerful demon.
Just as Ku casually pointed his hand, a "small lantern" made of bones and with the netherworld as its core appeared above him. It slowly lit up a faint light, swaying as it illuminated the road ahead for him...
Ku walked slowly without any hurry. After an unknown amount of time, he came to the end of the long black road and arrived in front of... a huge tower.
The giant tower has twelve floors and is a hundred feet high. It looks like a black giant standing solemnly.
Under the tower, there is a thick black door ten feet high. The door is tightly closed, and there are countless strange reliefs of demons carved on it. The strange thing is that although these reliefs have obvious demon characteristics - demon horns. But each demon is very different from the demons in the current wasteland continent... Their expressions are more ferocious, their bodies are more robust, and the black stripes like tattoos are more numerous and complex...
Compared to them, the 'demons' that humans encounter today seem... not 'complete'.
Ku looked at these reliefs, and the eyes hidden under the mask seemed to reveal a complex emotion he had never had before... However, this expression was only for a moment, and soon he returned to his usual state, took a step forward, and a ray of light followed his magic formula and gathered on his finger...
Dry it gently.
In just a moment, the demon relief engraved on the thick door suddenly lit up, and a blood-red light flashed in the eyes of countless ferocious demons. Then, countless obscure and dense runes lit up here like a spider web.
With a bang.
The door was wide open.
Countless deep, crazy, empty, desperate, and violent auras emanated from it...
In response, Ku ignored it and walked straight in.
What caught the eye were seven black altars, six of which were arranged in the shape of a hexagram, guarding a huge altar in the center.
The altar stood at the bottom, and around it were countless demon reliefs circling, as if surrounding it... It seemed like a kind of protection...
If you look closely, you can see that the surrounding array patterns attached to these reliefs are more powerful than those on the outside, and the images of the many demons are also more vivid, even lifelike...
Ku walked up to the central altar step by step.
All around the altar, there were mottled dark brown marks, as if blood had been spilled and dried...
As Ku stepped on it, the dark brown bloodstains suddenly lit up, and then, like worms, they crawled to his feet, naturally forming a formation!
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light emanated from the center of the altar, spreading out and lighting up the six altars!
Boom!
At this moment, a violent roar suddenly sounded in the field, and it seemed that the entire Demon Tower was shaking. Countless reliefs suddenly lit up with fiery red eyes, and then, one after another, huge and terrifying demonic auras began to spread in the field...
What followed were countless violent shouts!
"Who! Who disturbed my sleep?"
"Kill! Kill all the enemies of your majesty!"
"Give me blood, give me a sacrifice, give me a woman!"
Waves of crazy desire, murderous intent, and shouts like the roars of wild beasts rose one after another in the field!
At this moment, many demons from ancient times woke up!
…
…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At that moment, countless demons awakened, and countless black air surged out from all directions, rising up, forming a terrible storm that ravaged the entire place.
The evil spirit is overwhelming!
In the black fog, the shadows of many powerful demons emerged, each with a different aura - some were like towering mountains, some were like surging undercurrents, some were wanton and arrogant, and some were licking their sharp claws with a cunning look on their faces.
These awakened demons all have one thing in common, that is... their auras are all mixed with incomparable madness and chaos!
Those cries filled with endless longing rushed towards Ku like a tide, as if to annihilate him completely.
However, Ku was not in a hurry to deal with this. He just shouted, "Shut up."
As soon as the words fell, they condensed into a solid entity like a spring thunder. For a moment, the impact swept across and radiated in all directions, instantly causing the entire Demon Tower to tremble!
The noisy sound in the field was immediately suppressed and dissipated...
All the awakened demons fell silent.
Countless fiery red eyes quickly focused on Ku. After a moment of silence, several demons seemed to "recognize" something and couldn't help but exclaimed...
"This lamp... seems to carry a bit of the king's will!?"
