Chapter 345: Rebirth of the Demon Emperor

The former followers of the Demon Emperor have been quietly gathering resources and accumulating strength during this period. They know that the resurrection of the Demon Emperor is a great opportunity, which will not only allow the Demon Emperor to reshape his body, but also allow them to return to their former glory. The Demon Emperor was once their master, and their former glory and power were all obtained under the rule of the Demon Emperor. And now, with the help of the Demon Emperor's rebirth, their dreams will once again become a reality.

In some secret places far away from Zhongzhou, the former subordinates of the Demon Emperor were working intensively. Not only were they planning in the dark, they were even beginning to show some abnormal movements in order to prepare for the Demon Emperor's resurrection.

Among them, the most critical thing is the collection of spiritual blood and magic energy. After the Demon Emperor's body was destroyed, only specific spiritual blood and magic energy could help him recover. If the Demon Emperor's soul has almost fully recovered, then the reconstruction of his body is the biggest problem. To achieve this goal, the Demon Emperor's former subordinates spared no expense and relied on those demon beasts, magic beasts and even evil monks who were once loyal to the Demon Emperor to obtain their spiritual blood and magic energy.

"These spiritual blood and demonic energy are enough for us to rebuild the master's body!" A middle-aged man with gray hair and a strong demonic energy whispered. This man was called Heifeng, and he was one of the former confidants of the Demon Emperor. Although he was old, his cultivation was extraordinary. With his powerful demonic energy and spiritual awareness, he had already escaped from the siege of the righteous sect and hid in a place where few people went.

"Lord Heifeng, we have collected most of these resources. The rest will wait for the master to be resurrected. I believe that soon we will see the Demon Emperor return to his peak." Another demon cultivator beside him said respectfully.

Hei Feng nodded slightly with a sly smile on his face: "When the master is resurrected, everything will be at our disposal. By then, this continent will no longer be ruled by the righteous path, and the evil path will surely rise again! However, we cannot be impatient, time is our friend, and the master needs more spiritual blood and evil spirits until his body is fully restored."

Just as Heifeng and his men were discussing the matter of resurrection, a low sound came from afar. It was a part of the strange phenomenon in the process of the Demon Emperor's old subordinates and the collection of demonic energy - the spiritual blood and demonic energy gradually merged to form a powerful wave. This wave was not noticed by the outside world, but in the eyes of Heifeng and others, it was a very important signal.

"It's finally begun..." Black Wind's eyes flashed with excitement, "Master, you are finally coming back!"

In Ye Fan's body, the power of the Demon Emperor has recovered to a fairly strong level. Although Ye Fan did not completely relax his vigilance, he also knew that cooperating with the Demon Emperor was a double-edged sword. Although the Demon Emperor's power was huge, it was also full of dangers.

"Ye Fan," the voice of the Demon Emperor sounded in his mind again, with a hint of inexplicable joy, "My old subordinates have already started the process of resurrection, and I will be able to recover my body soon. By then, the entire continent will be at my disposal, and you will become the true king!"

Ye Fan closed his eyes. He could feel the fluctuations of the Demon Emperor's power becoming stronger and stronger, and he could even hear the sounds of the Demon Emperor's old subordinates busying themselves. He knew that if the Demon Emperor fully recovered, the relationship between him and the Demon Emperor would change qualitatively. But now, he could only endure the Demon Emperor's existence and use his power to achieve his goals.

"I'm waiting for that day, Demon Emperor." Ye Fan said in his heart. He knew that the time when the Demon Emperor was resurrected was his own opportunity. He would find his own way out before the Demon Emperor was completely resurrected. Perhaps at that time, the Demon Emperor would become a force under his control.

At the same time, the righteous sects in Zhongzhou began to sense something was wrong. Although the Demon Emperor's aura had disappeared after the war, as time went on, some of the sects' ancestors began to feel the powerful fluctuations of demonic energy. This fluctuation was very similar to the Demon Emperor's aura. The righteous sects' ancestors realized that they had to be prepared for this.

"The aura of the resurrected Demon Emperor is getting stronger!" An old ancestor of the Tianlang Sect frowned. He held a mysterious jade pendant in his hand. A faint demonic aura appeared on the surface of the jade pendant. "This demonic aura is exactly the same as the aura of the Demon Emperor that I sensed before."

"The resurrection of the Demon Emperor is probably inevitable." Another elder of the sect sighed, "We must take action. If the Demon Emperor really returns, this continent will fall into chaos."

"The power of righteousness is no longer the same as it used to be. Every one of our sects must unite to prevent the resurrection of the Demon Emperor. Otherwise, once he is reborn, he will surely destroy everything!" said the leader of the Tianlang Sect in a deep voice.

The elders of all the major sects nodded one after another. Although on the surface they seemed to have stopped paying attention to the threat from the Demon Emperor, deep down in their hearts, they knew that this threat was like a sword hanging over their heads, and it would fall sooner or later.

The Demon Emperor's old subordinates have been gradually gathered, and are preparing to provide the Demon Emperor with the final opportunity for resurrection. As these resources gather, the Demon Emperor's aura becomes more and more obvious, and those monks who once served the Demon Emperor are also ready to welcome the return of their master.

"The resurrection of the Demon Emperor is destined to change everything." Black Wind whispered, with a resolute expression on his face, "We will rule this continent!"

The resurrection of the Demon Emperor not only means his personal return, but also the rise of the demon race. And in Ye Fan's body, the power of the Demon Emperor is getting stronger and stronger. All of this is destined to set off a bloody storm in the coming days.

On the night of the Demon Emperor's rebirth, the sky and the earth changed color, and the whole Zhongzhou was filled with an oppressive atmosphere. The night sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder and lightning intertwined, as if heralding the coming of a catastrophe. In a hidden forbidden area, demonic energy surged like a tide, and piercing laughter resounded through the world.

"Hahahaha!"

A deep and crazy laugh came from the depths of the evil spirit, shaking the surrounding rocks. A tall figure gradually emerged from the evil spirit. He was wearing a black robe, and the whole person was shrouded in endless black fog. His eyes were as red as blood, as if he could see through everything. His appearance caused all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to become disordered, and the evil spirit seemed to have found its home, rushing towards his body crazily.

"I'm back!"

The Demon Emperor murmured in a low voice, but the sound was like thunder. He raised his hands, looked at his newly condensed body, and felt the surging power flowing through his body. Years of forbearance and waiting finally paid off at this moment.

"All those who stand in my way, prepare to die!" His voice was filled with hatred and arrogance.

The surrounding demon monks and monsters knelt on the ground, their faces full of fanaticism and reverence. They were once the Demon Emperor's old subordinates, and now they witnessed the return of their master with their own eyes, and they were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes.

"Welcome to the rebirth of the Demon Emperor!" Heifeng and other old subordinates prostrated themselves on the ground, their voices trembling.

"From today on, the evil path will rise again! Hypocrites of the righteous path, your doom has come!" The Demon Emperor's eyes were cold, but his voice was stirring, igniting the blood of all the demon cultivators.

The reborn Demon Emperor did not stop, his revenge began from the very beginning. Under his guidance, the demon army went straight to the Red Cloud Sect, which was the first step of his revenge plan. The Red Cloud Sect was an important participant in the war to eliminate the Demon Emperor, and the previous tragic defeat and death were caused by them.

In front of the Chiyun Sect's mountain gate, demonic energy covered the sky and the sun, and countless demon monks and monsters poured in like a world-destroying flood.

"Chiyun Sect, today is your doom!" The Demon Emperor spoke coldly, with an irresistible majesty in his voice.

Before the disciples of the Red Cloud Sect could react, the killing had already begun. The demon cultivators were like a man in a deserted place, and anyone who stood in their way was instantly turned into a bloody mist. Inside the mountain gate, screams and roars intertwined, as if hell had descended.

"Quickly notify the sect leader! We can't stop them!" An elder shouted in horror, but before he could finish his words, he was cut into two pieces by a black sword light and his body fell heavily to the ground.

The leader of the Red Cloud Sect and the elders quickly rushed to the battlefield, but facing the Demon Emperor's personal attack, all their resistance seemed pale and powerless. The Demon Emperor destroyed the Red Cloud Sect's mountain protection formation with just a wave of his hand, and countless Red Cloud Sect disciples died.

"Demon Emperor! How dare you!" The leader of the Chiyun Sect roared and rushed towards the Demon Emperor with all his strength.

However, the Demon Emperor just smiled coldly: "In the battle that year, I was defeated by hypocrisy and the power of numbers. Today, I will use your blood to commemorate my glory!" After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved it. A horrifying demonic energy swept out, and the leader of the Red Cloud Sect, along with his natal magic weapon, was completely swallowed up by the demonic energy. He was unable to even let out a scream.

On the top of the mountain in the distance, Ye Fan stood quietly and witnessed all this. There was no expression on his face, but his heart was surging.

"Ye Fan, did you see it? This is the true meaning of power! Without power, you can only be slaughtered by others, but with power, you can change everything!" The voice of the Demon Emperor echoed in his mind.

Ye Fan did not answer, he just stared at the battlefield where blood flowed like a river. Countless lives disappeared in front of him, and those people's eyes were full of fear and despair. He knew that this killing was because of the revenge of the Demon Emperor, and also because of his own choice.

"Demon Emperor, is all this worth it?" Ye Fan asked in a low voice, with a hint of complexity in his tone.

"Hahaha! Worth it? Ye Fan, you are still looking at the world with mortal thoughts! The rules of this world are written by the strong, and the weak are only worthy of being stepping stones!" The voice of the Demon Emperor was full of arrogance, "Don't be bound by those hypocritical morals! You should be glad that you chose to stand on my side, otherwise, you would have become one of them long ago!"

Ye Fan did not speak, he had too many questions and struggles in his heart. Looking at those dead lives, he could not completely accept the Demon Emperor's philosophy, but he also understood that his current strength was inseparable from the Demon Emperor.

"Maybe he is right. But... do these innocent lives really deserve to die?" Ye Fan was conflicted.

The land of the Scarlet Cloud Sect was in ruins, with blood flowing like a river. The Demon Emperor stood on the top of the mountain, overlooking the ruins below, with a satisfied smile on his face. He opened his arms, as if enjoying the victory at this moment.

"Ye Fan, this is just the beginning." The Demon Emperor whispered, "Next, we will make the entire Zhongzhou fall into fear and chaos. Only in this way can I truly control this world. And you will become my strongest helper!"

Ye Fan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He didn't know if he had made the right choice, but he knew that he couldn't turn back now. He needed more strength and more time to find his own answer.

At this time, all the major sects in Zhongzhou felt the terrifying fluctuations of the Demon Emperor's rebirth. They summoned strong men and tried to unite to fight against the threat of the Demon Emperor. However, no one knew that they were facing not only the Demon Emperor, but also Ye Fan who was gradually growing into a peerless strong man.
