"The ten-thousand-year seal has been broken. A new era begins!"
Just then, Xingyu Demon Suppressing City was besieged by Demonic Beasts from the Endless Forest. The vanguard was the Wind Demon Tiger clan—the very group Ye Wen had once slain.
They launched a massive assault on Xingyu Demon Suppressing City. Behind them, countless Demonic Beasts from other clans also began attacking the city.
How could humanity possibly defend against so many Demonic Beasts now? And especially when the Dragon Race had appeared in the sky—the legendary race of Divine Beasts!
"Why have they come too? Those legendary races haven't been seen for thousands of years. Why have they all appeared now?"
The people in the city could only sigh helplessly.
The dragons flew straight into the city and arrived before the Demon Suppressing Tower, where they began attacking it.
The people of this age had never witnessed such a magnificent sight. The entire city was filled with Demonic Beasts of rank, the lowest of them already Third Rank. They attacked the Demon Suppressing Tower without regard for their lives.
They truly didn't care if they died. As they attacked the tower, it suddenly blazed with white light, transforming into the sharpest of weapons. Any Demonic Beast that entered the light's reach was sliced cleanly in half.
Yet every Demon Beast pressed forward, one after another, crashing against the Demon Suppressing Tower. At last, the white barrier dimmed and faded.
Then the Giant Dragons that had just appeared returned to the Demon Suppressing Tower. More than a dozen of them joined together and began chanting mysterious Dragon Language Magic. As the Dragon Race chanted, the sky suddenly darkened.
The darkness spread until the sky above the tower was completely black.
The dragons finished their chant. With a thunderous roar, they summoned a white, lightning-shaped thunder dragon from the ink-black clouds overhead. It was as enormous as the dragons who had just chanted, and it plunged straight into the top of the Demon Suppressing Tower.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The deafening blasts thundered throughout the entire Demon Suppressing City. Every building near the tower—and even the corpses of the Demonic Beasts just slain by the white light—vanished beneath the thunder dragon's assault.
When the dust settled, only the Demon Suppressing Tower remained, standing alone.
Suddenly, a tremendous boom erupted from the tower, louder even than the thunder dragon's attack. It seemed to echo throughout the entire Eastern Continent.
The entire Demon Suppressing Tower began rising. The portion buried underground gradually emerged. When the first floor appeared, its footprint was about the size of a basketball court. As the second and third floors... and the rest began to rise, even greater lightning appeared in the sky.
That's right—lightning even more enormous than the thunder dragons the dozen or so dragons had summoned together. It hammered the Demon Suppressing Tower again and again. Any Demon Beast nearby that was grazed by even the faintest trace of lightning was reduced to ash.
The enormous Demon Suppressing Tower had risen until its eighth floor emerged from the ground. Its footprint now nearly matched the size of a sports stadium. Only then did the tower finally stop rising.
At that moment, the Demon Suppressing Towers in the other seventeen former Demon Suppressing Cities across the Eastern Continent stirred. The first tremendous boom from Xingyu's tower seemed to awaken sleeping colossal beasts. One by one, braving the tribulation lightning, they rose from underground until all eight of their upper floors stood aboveground.
The eighteen former Demon Suppressing Cities had once been marked by eighteen Demon Suppressing Towers. Now, in this unbelievable way, those towers had returned to the world, appearing in an age when spiritual energy had surged back to life after the ten-thousand-year seal shattered.
This meant the age of the ten-thousand-year seal had ended, and a new era had dawned across the entire Ancestral Star. The one who had ushered in this new era—Ye Wen—stared blankly at the Demon Suppressing Token in his hand.
Old Azure Dragon had already sensed the earth-shaking changes. He could also feel that the Demon Suppressing Tower had risen from the ground.
What moved him to tears even more was that he could sense his kin. The residual power from the super Forbidden Spell they had just unleashed—the Great Lightning Dragon Technique—had struck the Demon Suppressing Tower. From it, he knew that dragons had come to save him.
Old Azure Dragon erupted once more. Seeing that something was wrong, Ye Wen quickly left the room. This time, the Azure Dragon transformed into a hundred-zhang Giant Dragon and began burning his blood essence, trying to break through the restraints of order.
At the same time, the Dragon Race outside sensed his presence and unleashed another tremendous surge of energy, attacking the Demon Suppressing Tower once more. Caught between their attacks, the tower shook violently and repeatedly erupted with dazzling white light, retaliating against the dragons attacking from outside.
Ye Wen was completely stunned. He was dumbfounded!
"What... what have I done? I only refined a token, so how did the whole world end up changing? This has nothing to do with me! I'm just a little bug who hasn't even reached Xiantian Fourth Rank."
