In the secret chamber of Pope Palace, Shendu accepted the inheritance and discovered that the area beside the pillar of light was already packed with people.
So many people have already come. That should be about enough.
Since they're in such a hurry, I'll grant their wish.
As Shendu's voice fell, the phenomenon before them changed instantly.
At the foot of the pillar of light beside Suotuo City.
Everyone craned their necks to watch. As countless eyes turned skyward, a bright moon suddenly descended from the heavens. The pillar of light exploded with a thunderous boom, as if the sky had been torn open. A crimson moon hung high above, as though it had come from beyond the heavens.
Heaven and earth trembled. Flocks of birds cried out. The crimson moon split apart, and a red stone tablet emerged from within before falling to the ground.
Rumble—
The earth shook, clouds churned, and dust filled the air. The ground was smashed into a massive crater, and a tall, mysterious red Ancient Stone Tablet stood at its center.
The stone tablet was dozens of meters tall, ten meters wide, and six meters thick. Its surface was covered in strange patterns, with lines of text carved upon it.
Four large words stood at the top—Ancient Stone Tablet.
Everyone was stunned.
"What... what is that?"
"Ancient Stone Tablet? Is it some kind of tablet from ancient times?"
"No kidding."
"Wait, why can I understand this Ancient Stone Tablet? Did they already have the Douluo language in ancient times?"
"Of course they did. Read fewer novels. Don't those Demons speak the same language we do?"
The crowd erupted in constant exclamations as some people began reading along the tablet.
"The Eight Ancient Demons: Fire Demon Shendu..."
"The Ten Ancient Masks: Tarakudo Mask, Ninja Mask..."
