Chapter 420: Octagonal Altar, Demonic Emperor's Revival

thing in our power to rescue Dongfang Xiu!"Yun Hao put away the map and said, "My brother is in dire straits. Saving him, I can't entrust it to others, I must go myself. Su Patriarch, farewell!"The Or...The Death Demon Emperor's spirit and will, fully unleashed in his plan, has finally begun its final stage!

The Black Sun Devil Source suspended in the sky above the Demon Cave began to become extremely unstable.

The energy within the Demon Source will be channeled to the deceased Demon Emperor, and together with the death energy within the Death Orb, it will become the bargaining chip for breaking the seal!

Throughout the entire lair, every demon knelt on the ground. Their expressions were fervent, filled with excitement and anticipation, fantasizing about the return of the Death Demon Emperor and his leadership guiding their demonic lineage to its peak glory!

Then, at the top of the Demon Castle, a beam of magic light shot out, penetrating into the Black Sun Magic Source and forming a passage.

Magister Shayna, immediately bring Lin Qi, who will be used as the container for the Death Demon Emperor's spiritual consciousness, out of the dungeon in the Demon Castle. Lead him along that passage and into the black Great Sun Demon Source.

"Haha, Demon Queen, the revival of the Death Demon Emperor is imminent. All our efforts over the years haven't been in vain. We will surely reach the pinnacle of the entire Azure World under the leadership of the Death Demon Emperor!"

The burly demon king immediately met the Demon Queen, opening his arms wide to embrace her.

"Demon Lord, I've waited for this day...for far too long. I finally made it."

The Demon Queen said, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.

The Demon King laughed and said, "Demon Queen, come with me!"

Saying that, the Demon King grabbed the Demon Queen's hand and walked forward.

The interior space of the Black Sun Demon Source was surging with demonic energy, swirling and flowing. With a wave of the Demon King's hand, the demonic energy around him and the Demon Queen dissipated, and in no time they arrived beside an altar.

The altar was octagonal, with a black stone pillar at each corner.

The surface of the stone pillars was covered with eerie patterns, emanating an extremely sinister aura. Moreover, each pillar was inlaid with nine death beads!

There are a total of seventy-two death beads.

These dead beads,

...have been secretly collected by the demon race over the years.

Every dead bead,

At the very least, tens of thousands of people's lives are at stake!

Over the years, the Demon Race has secretly been preparing for the resurrection of the Death Demon Emperor, massacring millions of human beings in the process!

In the middle of the altar, there was a very dilapidated bronze box.

The bronze box surface is covered with a large amount of rust.

At this moment, the bronze box vibrated at an extremely subtle amplitude, with hundreds or even thousands of vibrations per instant.

The cover of the bronze box was barely visible, with an extremely thin slit.

The Demon King and the Demon Queen knelt beside the altar, facing the bronze box.

"Death Demon Emperor, everything is ready!" The demon lord spoke respectfully.

"Great!"

A voice, filled with excitement, came from the bronze box. Immediately after, a wisp of an illusory black shadow drifted up from the cracks in the bronze box.

Even if it were merely an illusory figure taken to the extreme, it would possess invincible might, as if capable of destroying heaven and earth, shattering stars and galaxies, and breaking all things in the universe.

Especially.

That ultimate aura of death, terrifying beyond measure!

"Bring the container over!"

The Death Emperor looked down upon the Demon King and Demon Queen kneeling before him, and said coldly.

"Yes!"

The demon queen hastily got up, bringing the cage holding Lin Qi to the altar and then opening it.

Lin Qi suddenly opened his eyes and saw the phantom of the Death Demon Emperor.

The Death Demon Emperor's phantom stared at Lin Qi, letting out a cold snort: "Such a lowly and inferior flesh body, to be able to become a vessel for my spirit and consciousness to temporarily reside in, is your honor."

Lin Qi roared, "Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"

The Demon Empress immediately pressed her handprint onto the cage. In an instant, the iron chains piercing Lin Chi's body exploded with pure demonic energy, forcefully pouring into his body, plunging him into immense pain.

The Death Demon Emperor retracted his gaze from Lin Qi and then said, "Remember, the moment I break the seal, immediately input demon blood into the container."

Only then can this container be barely usable. Any slight discrepancy in time will lead to leaks in the container.

"My strength is recovering!"

The Demon King and the Demon Queen, calling each other's names again and again, dared not slack off in the slightest.

The next moment, the Death Emperor's phantom spread its arms wide.

A mysterious power emanated from those illusory hands, landing upon the eight demonic pillars within the octagonal altar.

The magic pillars were instantly activated, and each pillar began to draw on the death energy within the dead orb. All this death energy was then channeled into the spectral form of the Death Emperor.

The apparition, imbued with death energy, gradually solidified.

"Haha!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

"Who would have thought it, who could have imagined it, the Death Demon Emperor is back again!"

"Human Race Yunxiao, you failed to kill me back then, now I've returned. It's a pity, it's a pity. If you weren't destroyed by the Heavenly Palace, I would have personally killed you to avenge this grudge that has been sealed for tens of thousands of years!"

The Death Emperor laughed maniacally.

As his phantom grew more solid, he grasped the bronze box in one hand, while with the other, he tried to open it!

After all, his spirit and will, which surpassed ninety-nine percent, were still sealed within.

Only by opening the bronze box could he truly escape, and his strength would soon return to its peak.

Otherwise, in this state, it can only be considered a wisp of a soul. To restore its strength to its peak, it would still take a lot of time and effort!

Asides.

Lin Qi stared intently at the scene, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Once the Demonic Emperor of Death opens the Bronze Box, the consequences would be unimaginable. This is a legendary Demon Emperor who sits at the pinnacle of worldly power, possessing terrifying strength capable of dominating the entire Azure Realm.

His mind flashed back to the imprint passed on to him a few days prior by the individual from the Martial Hall's Hall of Brightness.

Is it useful

He didn't know.

But now, he has no other choice, this is the only thing he can do.

The next moment.

Lin Qi's palm formed a mysterious and unfathomable seal.

When this set of handprints was formed, Lin Qi felt a strange and absurd sensation in his heart.

It was as if... he had an inexplicable connection with the bronze box that sealed away the Death Emperor's spirit.

Lin Qi couldn't understand how this connection was made.

Actually.

That's because within Lin Chi's body, there was a sword qi of the Sword Dao of Nothingness forged by Yun Hao.

Lin Qi's casting of this set of hand seals caused the hand seal to evoke a trace belonging to Yun Hao within that sword qi.

Within the bronze box, sealed was the spirit and will of the Death Demon Emperor, a creation wrought by Yun Hao himself.

Therefore, Lin Qi established a connection with the bronze box through this set of handprints, silently and invisibly!

At this moment, the bronze box trembled violently. Under the power of the Death Demon Emperor's residual soul phantom, the bronze box vaguely showed signs of being opened.

The Death Emperor's emotions were so intense, it was impossible to describe them with words.

Both the Demon King and Demon Queen held their breaths, widening their eyes. This was bound to be the most important moment for their entire lineage of demons, and they didn't want to miss a single detail of what came next!

Then...suddenly.

A terrifying azure light erupted from the bronze box!

"Boom!"

The remnant soul shadow of the Death Demon Emperor was directly blown away by the blue light!

"Ahhhh!"

The Death Demon Emperor roared in anger, then flew back to the altar, landing beside the bronze box, and crazily absorbing the energy of the Black Demon Source Great Sun.

The Black Demon Source Great Sun is the core of the entire demon lair.

As the Death Devil Emperor absorbed the demonic energy, the entire Demon Cave suddenly erupted in a terrifying storm.

Meanwhile, in a courtyard near the Demon Castle, Yun Hao moved his mind, and the energy sphere that had been separated from the demon source floated out of his hand.

This batch of magic origin light clusters has absorbed his mark!

Watching the black orb fly towards the Sun Demon Source suspended in mid-air, Yun Hao took a deep breath. The yin and yang energies within him surged, severing the inexplicable connection between him and Xia Xuan completely!

The instant the connection was severed, Xiaoxuan, who had already pinpointed the location of the demon lair, immediately looked at Zhang Tao and said, "Master Zhang, Sir has given us permission to act!"

Zhang Tao's hand, holding the war knife that had never been sheathed, suddenly raised high,

"Let out a mighty roar: "We will not return until the demon cave is destroyed! All Demon Guard soldiers, listen up, and attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the token Yun Hao had given him shot out, instantly opening a passage to the demonic cave.

Zhang Tao took the lead and rushed in.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Zhang Tao's Demon-Suppressing Guards behind him roared and surged into the passage, charging toward the demon lair! have the audacity to touch!"The next moment.Tens of thousands of swords within the sheath of the Cangfeng Sword burst forth simultaneously, unleashing an immeasurable radiance!The clang of swords ech...
