Chapter 558 Great Chu
At the same time, the demon tide completely prevailed in the demon world.
The originally peaceful and tranquil demon world is now shrouded in the dark haze.
Thick black fog permeated the demon world. Wherever it went, flowers and plants withered, trees fell, and the once vibrant scene disappeared.
All tribes in the demon world fell into chaos and panic. Many little demons fled everywhere, but there was nowhere to hide, and screams of fear rose and fell in the darkness.
Some weaker demons, under the erosion of the demon tide, their bodies were gradually distorted by the dark power, lost their reason, became puppets of the demon tide, and turned around to attack their own kind.
Several elders of the demon clan gathered in an ancient palace, their faces full of worry and anxiety.
"The power of this demon tide is too strong, we can't resist it anymore." A white-haired elder said worriedly.
"Yes, the demon world is in chaos now, what should we do?" Another elder also looked helpless.
At this time, a young demon warrior stood up and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We should take the initiative to find ways to fight against the demon tide."
"It's easier said than done. We have tried various methods, but to no avail." An elder shook his head and sighed.
Just as everyone was in despair, a spirit bird emitting a soft light flew in. The spirit bird landed in the center of the palace and turned into a beautiful woman.
"We can't give up. At this point, we can only revive the four demon emperors!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, looking at each other, their eyes full of surprise and confusion.
"Resurrect the Four Demon Emperors?" An elder frowned, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "These four demon emperors have been sleeping for a long time. Legend has it that to revive them, extremely harsh conditions are required, and the process is full of unknown risks. Do we really want to do this?"
The spirit bird transformed into a woman looked firm, looked around at everyone, and said slowly: "Now the demon tide is raging, the demon world is in danger, and we don't have many choices. The four demon emperors were once legends in the demon world. They have a powerful force that can destroy the world. If they can be resurrected, perhaps this power can compete with the demon tide and save our demon world."
The young demon warrior clenched his fists, and the flame of hope ignited in his eyes, "I think we can give it a try! Now the demon world has reached a critical moment of life and death. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, we can't give up."
Several other elders also fell into contemplation, weighing the pros and cons.
After a moment, a burly elder stood up and slammed the table heavily, "Okay! Now that things have come to this, let's fight this time. For the future of the demon world, even if it is a sea of fire and swords, we have to go through it!"
The eyes of the crowd gradually became firm, and they nodded in agreement.
"But how can we revive the four demon emperors?" An elder raised the question in his heart.
The spirit bird woman frowned slightly and said, "I have heard that in ancient books, if you want to revive the four demon emperors, you must hold a blood sacrifice!"
"Blood sacrifice?"
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace, and the faces of the elders showed shock and hesitation.
"This... blood sacrifice requires the sacrifice of a large number of lives, how can this be done?" A thin elder showed reluctance and shook his head repeatedly.
The spirit bird girl looked solemn and said slowly: "I know this sounds cruel, but now the demon world is facing a catastrophe, this may be the only way. Ancient books record that only with a sufficiently strong and pure life force can the sleeping four demon emperors be awakened."
The young demon warrior frowned, "Is there no other way? Do you have to sacrifice your life..."
The spirit bird girl said with a cold and sarcastic tone, "I also hope there are other options, but now time is running out, and the rampant demon tide will not give us more time to find other ways. Could it be that you also want to give up the pride of our race and beg for mercy from those lowly humans!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, making the faces of everyone present instantly complicated.
The young demon warrior blushed and loudly retorted: "How could I have such an idea! I just can't bear to see so many of my fellow tribesmen sacrifice for this. We demons have always been proud, how could we bow to humans!"
The spirit bird woman nodded slightly, and her tone softened a little, "I understand your feelings, but this is a forced choice. If we don't wake up the four demon emperors as soon as possible, the demon world will be doomed. By then, what pride can we have?"
The burly elder said in a deep voice: "Yes, for the survival of the entire demon world, some sacrifices are inevitable. We must make a decision."
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the palace, and a little demon ran in in a panic, shouting: "It's not good, the demon tide puppets have attacked the nearby tribes, and many of our fellow tribesmen have been killed!"
This news made everyone's heart instantly rise to their throats, and the elders who were still hesitating no longer hesitated at this moment.
"There is no time to hesitate, start the blood sacrifice immediately!" An elder said decisively.
Then, orders were issued from the palace.
The demons quickly took action, setting up the last line of defense around the palace to resist the attack of the demon puppets and buy time for the blood sacrifice ceremony.
The bird lady stood in the center of the magic circle, her expression solemn, and her hands quickly formed ancient seals. Her voice sounded firmly in the clamor, and every syllable seemed to carry a mysterious power, urging the magic circle to operate.
At the same time, a large number of demon masters went around to search for demon civilians.
Everywhere he went, there was blood and cruelty.
In a quiet village, the demon civilians who originally lived a peaceful life are now falling into extreme fear.
The cries of the children, the screams of the banshees, and the angry shouts of the male demons intertwined, breaking the peace of the village in the past.
A huge bear demon was originally the guardian of the village, but now it has become a life-threatening talisman for these ordinary demon clans.
He waved his huge bear paw and knocked down houses one after another, causing the villagers to flee in all directions.
"Don't run away! Come out!" His roar was filled with madness and cruelty.
A group of fox demons shuttled through the village. They used their agility to easily catch up with the fleeing civilians.
The captured little demons looked at these former kindred spirits in horror, their eyes full of despair.
"Please, please let us go, we are all the same race!" A little fox demon cried and begged.
However, the demon masters who were responsible for the search showed no mercy at all. They dragged the demon civilians away one after another coldly, as if these former kindred spirits were now just tools to achieve their goals. There is an atmosphere of despair in the village, and the joy and laughter that once existed have long been replaced by fear and sorrow.
On the palace side, the blood sacrifice circle shone more and more strangely under the stimulation of the spirit bird woman, and powerful energy fluctuations spread out around the palace with the palace as the center. The monsters fought fiercely with the demonic tide puppets at the defense line, and the shouts of killing and screams were endless.

In the human world, after Fang Yue retreated in seclusion and absorbed the power of Juyuan Dan, his aura became more and more terrifying. There seemed to be a mysterious halo surrounding him, and every breath made the surrounding air vibrate.
The attendants who originally respected him couldn't help but feel an invisible pressure when they approached him, as if they were facing a towering and unreachable mountain.
His injuries finally improved completely.
At this time, the Empress of Wei Zhu Linlang came to visit.
After being informed by the guards at Fang Yue's mansion, Fang Yue was a little surprised, but he still arranged his clothes and went to the front hall to greet him. When he stepped into the front hall, he saw Zhu Linlang dressed in a gorgeous phoenix robe and a phoenix crown, with a solemn but majestic expression, followed by a group of attendants and guards.
"My humble minister Fang Yue has met Your Majesty. I wonder why Your Majesty came here today?" Fang Yue saluted respectfully.
The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Zhu Linlang raised her hand slightly, indicating that Fang Yue would not be polite. She looked at Fang Yue, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Fang Yue, I haven't seen you for a long time, but your aura is so strong now. It seems that you have gained a lot from seclusion."
Fang Yue bowed slightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This retreat has made a slight breakthrough, and it is also to better deal with the upcoming crisis."
Zhu Linlang frowned slightly, with worry on his face, "I came here today precisely for this crisis. In recent days, I have heard a lot of rumors about the demonic tide in the demon world. It is said that the demonic tide is powerful and has caused harm to the demon world. It will cause great damage, and if this demonic tide spreads further, the human world may not be spared."
Fang Yue's heart moved. He didn't expect Zhu Linlang to be so concerned about the demon world. "What your majesty said is absolutely true. The threat of the demonic tide is far beyond imagination. Now the demon world is in dire straits. If we sit idly by and do nothing, the human world will surely suffer." The disaster of the fish in the pond.”
Zhu Linlang nodded lightly and paced in the hall, "I am fully aware of the seriousness of this matter. Fang Yue, you have always been the pillar of our Wei Dynasty. Now facing such a crisis, do you have any plan to deal with it?"
After Fang Yue pondered for a moment, he said firmly: "Now we can only use soldiers to cover up the water and the earth!"
Fang Yue knows the truth about the demonic tide, but this kind of disaster originating from the source of all living beings can no longer be completely solved by simple force.
He raised his eyes to look at Zhu Linlang, his eyes full of worry and determination, "Your Majesty, the demonic tide is not a simple disaster in the demon world. It is rooted in the greed, anger, obsession and hatred of all living beings, and is a concrete manifestation of the dark side of the human heart. As long as all living beings These negative emotions are like weeds; even if they are suppressed for a while, they will grow again in the spring breeze."
Zhu Linlang frowned and looked solemn, "So, even if we help the demon world temporarily repel the demonic tide, we are only treating the symptoms but not the root cause?"
Fang Yue nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is wise. But the urgent task now is to curb the spread of the demonic tide and block the demonic tide in the demon world. As for completely solving the demonic tide, we can only find other ways."
Zhu Linlang nodded slightly, with a hint of perseverance in his eyes, "Fang Yue, no matter how difficult it is, we must try our best. Oh, by the way, a few days ago, the Great Chu Dynasty sent a message saying that several nodes in its territory were destroyed. , a demon tribe appeared there.”
Fang Yue was slightly startled, thinking secretly in his heart. The demon clan appeared in the Chu Dynasty, and many nodes were destroyed. This may be inextricably linked to the demonic tide.
"Your Majesty, the appearance of the demon clan in the Great Chu Dynasty is quite strange. In my opinion, this is most likely related to the demonic tide. The demonic tide is raging in the demon world, and it is difficult for the demon clan to survive. Perhaps some demon clans are trying to survive. Will venture into Dachu territory. If those nodes are destroyed, the demon shadow may be behind it, trying to disrupt the order of the world and create conditions for the further spread of the demonic tide."
Zhu Linlang nodded slightly and said solemnly: "This matter is indeed difficult. If the changes in Dachu are not clarified, there may be chaos. Since you know something about the demonic tide and are thoughtful, I can only ask you to investigate this matter." The truth."
Fang Yue said firmly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission."
After bidding farewell to Zhu Linlang, Fang Yue quickly started preparing to go to Dachu.
He selected several capable and resourceful cronies and embarked on the road to Dachu together. Along the way, Fang Yue and others worked hard, crossing mountains and rivers, traveling day and night.
A few days later, they finally arrived at the Dachu border.
The border between Dachu and Dachu was heavily guarded. The soldiers looked alert and carefully checked the passers-by.
Fang Yue and others successfully entered Dachu territory after identifying themselves and presenting customs clearance documents.
After entering Dachu, Fang Yue found that the atmosphere here was particularly tense.
There are few pedestrians on the streets, and most shops have their doors and windows closed. Occasionally, you can see a few people looking in a hurry, their eyes full of fear and worry.
Fang Yue asked the local people about the destruction of the node and the appearance of the demon clan. Most of the people avoided talking about it and showed fear on their faces.
After some twists and turns, Fang Yue finally found an old man who was willing to talk.
The old man took Fang Yue and others to a remote corner, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Guests, you'd better not ask about this matter. I heard that those demon clans are very powerful, elusive, and capable of creating demons." The law has destroyed several important nodes of ours. The government has been tracing it, but so far there has been no result. Moreover, there have been many terrible rumors circulating in the city recently, saying that this is a disaster. omen."
Fang Yue frowned and asked, "Old man, do you know where those monsters come from? Have you seen their whereabouts?"
The old man shook his head, "I don't know, I just know that they come and go without a trace. However, once I heard some soldiers say that they saw some strange shadows near the abandoned mines in the north of the city. They seemed to be Monster clan."
After thanking the old man, Fang Yue and others immediately headed to the abandoned mine in the north of the city. Along the way, they were cautious and alert to the movements around them.
Arriving outside the abandoned mine, a gloomy atmosphere hit my face, and there was a light black mist surrounding the mine, which made people feel depressed.
Fang Yue signaled everyone to be careful, and then walked into the mine first.
The mine was dark and damp, filled with a putrid smell.
They walked slowly along the passage of the mine, and from time to time they could hear the sound of water dripping and vague strange noises. (End of chapter)
