Ancient Devil Race, within the Ancestral Demon Hall!
A terrifying demonic aura, far surpassing that of a high- Emperor Realm, descended upon the entire hall like a curtain falling from the sky.
This oppressive aura was not violent and rampant; instead, it carried an ancient, deathly coldness, like an unyielding glacier, instantly freezing all the restless demonic energy within the hall.
The blood spear condensed by the Blood Bloodslaughter Demon Emperor shattered inch by inch, and the black mist churning around the Luo Sha Demon Emperor also suddenly solidified. The expressions of the two changed drastically at the same time, and their bodies trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"Anyone who dares to act recklessly in the Ancestral Demon Hall and disturbs the Holy Ancestor's slumber will have their soul extracted and thrown into the Myriad Demon Blood Pool to be punished for a thousand years!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a tall figure clad in jet-black bone armor slowly emerged from the darkness deep within the Ancestral Demon Hall.
This demon is at least thirty feet tall, with two black horns on its head, its face covered with strange black demonic patterns, and its eyes are vertical pupils that seem to burn with golden demonic flames.
With each step, the entire void of the Ancestral Demon Hall seemed to tremble, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression.
Upon seeing this figure, the five demon emperors inside the hall all changed their expressions and involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet its gaze.
"Greetings, Lord Xuan Ye!"
The five Demon Emperors— Blood Abyss, Bone-Devourer Dark Nether, Bone Devourer, Slaughterblood, Luo Sha— quickly rose from their bone thrones and bowed respectfully to the newly appeared demonic figure, their tone and demeanor filled with reverence.
Even the two demons, Slaughterblood and Luo Sha, disregarded their earlier grudges and bowed their heads in respect, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Because they knew that the Lord Xuan Ye before them was the head of the seven Demon Emperors of the Ancient Devil Race, the strongest among the Ancient Devil Race Clan below the Demon Saint, and also a supreme expert who had surpassed the peak of the Demon Emperor Realm and was half a step into the Immortal Platform Realm.
Although they are all Demon Emperors of the seven Ancient Devil Race, even if they joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Demon Emperor Xuan Ye.
If it weren't for some special reasons preventing it from leaving the Ancestral Demon Hall, the Demon Emperor Xuan Ye alone would have been enough to severely injure all the Martial Emperor Realm of the Human Race.
The hall, which had been tense just moments before, was now so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The Demon Emperor Xuan Ye slowly walked to the tallest white bone throne in the center and sat down. His thirty-foot-tall body leaned slightly forward, and his golden vertical pupils coldly swept over Slaughterblood and Luo Sha. He said, "I just heard you making a racket here. Have you forgotten that the Holy Ancestor is in slumber?!"
"Lord Xuan Ye, forgive me!"
The Bloodslaughter Demon Emperor's expression changed, and he quickly bowed, saying, "It is not that I intend to cause trouble, but Luo Sha has repeatedly humiliated me. I beg Lord Xuan Ye to uphold justice for me!"
"Could it be that I've said something wrong?!"
The Luo Sha Demon Emperor was still somewhat unconvinced, but he didn't dare to argue loudly in front of Xuan Ye, and could only mutter under his breath.
"Shut up!"
Demon Emperor Xuan Ye glared coldly at Luo Sha, his eyes blazing with golden demonic flames, causing Luo Sha Demon Emperor's expression to change and him to quickly shut his mouth.
" Human Race has not yet been destroyed, yet you are here attacking each other. Is this how you repay the kindness of our Holy Ancestor?!"
"Lord Xuan Ye, forgive me!"
The five demon emperors bowed in unison, their heads lowered even further, not daring to make the slightest movement.
The air inside the hall was stagnant, as if made of iron, with only the terrifying demonic aura emanating from the Demon Emperor Xuan Ye slowly circulating.
The Demon Emperor Xuan Ye snorted coldly, his golden vertical pupils sweeping over the crowd. His voice was as cold as the ice of the deepest hell, and he said, "Our Holy Ancestor has been in slumber for ten thousand years, and his injuries have begun to heal. Perhaps he will be able to revive soon!"
"Really? Lord Xuan Ye, is the Holy Ancestor really about to be resurrected?!"
"The Holy Ancestor is finally waking up?!"
Upon hearing this, the five Demon Emperors, including Blood Abyss, were immediately excited, and their faces all showed expressions of extreme joy.
The demonic energy around the five demon emperors surged uncontrollably, their eyes filled with fanaticism, revealing their intense excitement.
The Holy Ancestor, that was their Ancient Devil Race's Holy Ancestor!
It is said that if it weren't for the Holy Ancestor, their Ancient Devil Race would have been wiped out by the Demon Race long ago.
Moreover, when they were stranded on the Azure Origin Continent, it was only through the Holy Ancestor's last efforts that the Ancient Devil Race was able to gain a foothold on the Azure Origin Continent Azure Origin Continent eventually occupy most of it.
As long as the Holy Ancestor can be revived, the Blood Abyss and other demons believe that under the Holy Ancestor's leadership, they will surely be able to restore the glory of the ancient demon race from the legendary primordial era and unify all the heavens and myriad realms.
"However, for the Holy Ancestor to truly revive, at least 10 billion Human Race essences are needed. Therefore, no matter what, we must annihilate the Human Race within a year and prepare all the offerings before the Holy Ancestor awakens!" Golden demonic flames flickered in Demon Emperor Xuan Ye's eyes, his face full of ruthlessness.
"I respectfully obey Lord Xuan Ye's order!"
The five Demon Emperors knelt on one knee in unison, their eyes filled with a morbid fanaticism. Their roars shook the entire Ancestral Demon Hall, and fragments of bones fell down in a flurry.
In their eyes, the essence of a billion Human Race was nothing more than a stepping stone for the revival of the Holy Ancestor, and an essential path for the Ancient Devil Race race to return to its peak.
"Lord Xuan Ye!"
At this moment, the Blood Abyss Demon Emperor said respectfully, "According to our information, just a few days ago, a new Martial Emperor Realm warrior was born among the Human Race."
"Now, the Human Race has a total of six Martial Emperor Realm!"
"Moreover, that newly promoted Martial Emperor Realm is said to cultivate the Thunder Dao Domain, and he had already killed Slaughterblood's clone before even becoming an Emperor."
"Besides, that newly promoted Human Race warrior is said to be only seventeen years old!"
"What?!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
" Blood Abyss, you've been fooled by the Human Race ' false information! In this damaged world, how could there possibly be a monstrous genius among Human Race who broke through to the Martial Emperor Realm at the age of seventeen?!"
No sooner had the Blood Abyss Demon Queen finished speaking than the Dark Abyss Demon Emperor and the other demons gasped in shock, their faces and eyes filled with disbelief.
" Blood Abyss, this matter is of utmost importance. Is your intelligence source truly reliable?!" Upon hearing Blood Abyss's words, the Demon Emperor Xuan Ye's expression turned solemn, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he coldly stared at the Blood Abyss Demon Emperor.
"Lord Xuan Ye, the source of the intelligence is absolutely accurate!"
The Blood Abyss Demon Emperor nodded solemnly, his face resolute, and said, "When I first received this news, I didn't believe it either. Later, I activated another spy among the Human Race, and the information I received was exactly the same: the newly promoted Martial Emperor Realm among the Human Race is indeed only seventeen years old!"
"Seventeen years old, breaking through to the Martial Emperor Realm at a mere seventeen years old, this child is indeed comparable to the monstrous talents of some holy lands in the starry sky!"
The Demon Emperor Xuan Ye raised an eyebrow, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
"I never imagined that such Human Race could exist in this ravaged world!"
"Fortunately, it was discovered early!"
"A mere Martial Emperor Realm? I can annihilate him with a flick of my hand!"
"No need to wait any longer!"
"If we wait any longer, this child will surely become a future problem!"
A murderous aura emanated from the Demon Emperor Xuan Ye. He coldly glanced at the people in front of him and then gave the order:
"All demons, heed my command! I order you to gather all the elite forces of my race within three days and immediately launch the extermination plan!"
"Three days later, I, the Emperor, will personally take action, break through the Human Race's city walls, annihilate the Human Race, and unify the Azure Origin Continent!!!"
"Yes, Lord Xuan Ye!!!"
Upon hearing Demon Emperor Xuan Ye's words, the five Demon Emperors were filled with overwhelming killing intent and bowed deeply in agreement!
