Cultivating with Bragging System-Chapter 540 - 263: The Battle at the Pinnacle! Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix!_1
With the slight tremor of those eyes, an extremely ancient and powerful aura permeated the entire Demon Sea Island.
Demon Suppression City emitted a brilliant, overwhelming light. The Earth Immortal Instrument, the Demon-Reflecting Mirror, suspended atop the Black Tower, vibrated at an extremely high frequency. Countless mists of light tumbled like monstrous waves, as if sensing the presence of something utterly terrifying.
The people in the city all felt a shudder in their hearts.
Even in the third layer of the void, the opposing Demon Emperors and Earth Immortals fell silent at this moment. They all turned their gazes to the distance in unison, their expressions changing drastically.
Fire Ancestor’s brow was furrowed, his expression graver than ever before, worry and horror etched onto his face. This aura... could it be him?
"He’s awakened! He’s awakened!" A look of delight appeared on Ye Huang’s ashen face.
The Demon Emperors behind him all broke into smiles, their expressions full of pride and arrogance.
At that moment, all fighting stopped, and Demon Sea Island fell utterly silent. All eyes turned toward the center of the island, toward that pitch-black ancient city.
If that person were to truly awaken, all combat would be meaningless!
The ancient city stood at the very heart of Demon Sea Island, dark and profound. Under the dim sky, it appeared all the more silent, solemn, and dreadful. The aura that had silenced heaven and earth had originated from there.
But strangely, after more than ten breaths had passed, no similar aura emerged. It was as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.
The expressions of Ye Huang and the others changed slightly. A hint of panic flashed through their eyes, which were usually as unmoving as thousand-year-old glacial ice.
Could there have been an accident?
An unknown amount of time passed before an ethereal consciousness drifted over, landing in the minds of Ye Huang and the others. They were overjoyed at first, but upon sensing the information contained within that consciousness, they froze. Their expressions gradually grew ugly.
"Not enough energy. The Supreme... he cannot awaken!" Ye Huang whispered, a light flickering in his dark eyes like a candle flame in the darkness.
The surrounding Demonic Qi erupted into turmoil. All the Demon Emperors frowned, their expressions grave.
Their plan had been solid, and they had many trump cards. Even though the Human Race’s attack was somewhat sudden and had foiled many of their arrangements, they still had enough confidence to win this battle. The cost of the Great Abyssal Demonic Array was immense: the sacrifice of nearly every living being on Demon Sea Island. Even if they won this battle, Demon Sea Island would cease to exist. Moreover, they would never again be able to set up the Heavenly Demon Fiendish Array, solve the problems in Initial Demon City, or reopen the passage between the Cangyuan Realm and the Abyss Demon Realm.
It was a self-destructive strategy.
Frankly, even these high and mighty Demon Emperors, who regarded the beings below them as mere ants, were unwilling to use this method lightly. But they had no choice. The Human Race had pushed them too far!
However, as long as the Supreme could be awakened, all problems would be solved. It wouldn’t even matter if only a few of the Demon Race were left in this world.
Yet somehow, the Human Race had used an unknown method to shield themselves from the Great Abyssal Demonic Array’s senses. They had protected a large number of their people perfectly, causing the sacrifice of life essence and flesh to be woefully insufficient!
This was simply inconceivable! But they now had no time to ponder it.
"What do we do now?" a Demon Emperor asked with a frown. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"We follow the Supreme’s will!"
Without hesitation, the Demon Patterns on Ye Huang’s body lit up, kindling a blaze of starlight in the deepest night. The starlight grew more numerous, gradually gathering into an ocean, resembling a vast and starry sky. Streaks of light rose from above Initial Demon City, traveled swiftly through the high clouds to a certain apex, and then burst apart. They blossomed into one gorgeous, sinister firework after another before plummeting toward the ground.
It was like an incredibly spectacular meteor shower.
When the starlight fell upon the earth, it was like rain on a parched desert, quickly merging into the ground and disappearing.
Immediately afterward, one colossal aura after another began to awaken from below. The ground cracked and Demonic Light surged forth with a tsunami-like roar. This spectacular scene occurred simultaneously in multiple locations across Demon Sea Island.
Demon Sea Island was torn asunder, split into countless fragments. At each fissure, an ancient altar, once deeply buried, now trembled violently as a powerful life force awakened within.
BOOM!
An altar began to glow, and countless runes lit up, bathing the area in a dazzling, fervent radiance. A colossal Demon Butterfly emerged from the earth, its body emitting a ghastly black light. The surrounding woods and buildings were instantly reduced to ruins.
There were no living creatures here anymore. Naturally, there were no cries of shock or wails of despair.
But the humming of the butterfly was more piercing than the most agonizing scream in the world. In the distant void, the expressions of the assembled Saints changed drastically. Their heads throbbed with splitting pain as they retreated again and again.
It was yet another Demon Emperor!
Ye Huang and the others had changed their strategy. Since the Supreme could not awaken, they would awaken more Demon Emperor-level powerhouses from their slumber!
The formation beneath Demon Sea Island altered its course. The boundless life essence and flesh no longer flowed toward Initial Demon City but was instead channeled into the bodies of those Demon Emperors who had fallen into a deep sleep after suffering grievous injuries long ago.
One, two, three!
Demon Sea Island shattered into pieces. Immense volumes of seawater and towering waves erupted from the fissures, flooding the mountains. However, because of the Great Abyssal Demonic Array, even the fragments of land that broke away did not drift far. They were bound in place by an invisible force, leaving the entire island in a state of utter chaos.
The seas raged, lava covered the land, and a bloody mist filled the air. It was a scene straight from hell.
More and more Demon Emperor-level powerhouses awakened.
