During the few days of waiting for the awakening of the Chaos Beast, the Spirit Snake stayed with me and didn't receive any message from the Black Dragon King.
The facts proved that he was thinking too much. Facing such a major event like the awakening of the Chaos Beast, the Black Dragon King didn't even think of him and wouldn't be suspicious of me because of him.
On the day of the awakening ceremony, I got up at dawn and headed to the inner city. Just as I reached the palace, I coincidentally met Vivian. She was riding a horse with a few attendants, as though she was going out to play.
Ever since we had resolved the knot in our hearts that day, Vivian had recovered her heroic spirit. She would often visit me these few days, which made me feel more at ease.
Seeing me from afar, Vivian pulled the reins to slow the horse's speed and walked in front of me. She smiled and asked me what I was doing in the palace.
After knowing that it was about the awakening of the beast, she obviously wasn't interested. She waved her hand and left with her attendants. Before she left, she winked at me to remind me not to forget about the Longevity Grass.
Previously, I had told her that I would leave the Monster Region after the awakening ceremony. It seemed that she hadn't forgotten about it.
After bidding farewell to Vivian, I quickly arrived at the palace that Pu Lai was at.
I thought that the other Monster Thearchs and even the Black Dragon King would gather at Pu Lai's place. I didn't expect Pu Lai to be the only one there. Furthermore, after seeing me, he immediately brought me out of the city.
I then found out that it was different from the other three beasts. The location of the Chaos Beast's awakening wasn't at King City, but at the Ruoshui Lake outside of King City.
After exiting the South Gate Pier, we followed the Ruoshui Lake for about a hundred kilometers. It wasn't far from the place where I had advanced to become a Monster Thearch. The Chaos Beast's awakening ceremony was held there.
A hundred kilometers of distance would take an entire day to travel by boat. But for Pu Lai and I, it was just a few minutes of flying.
This was a reef island on the Ruoshui Lake. On the black reef that was only a few square meters in size, all the demon emperors from the four sides of the Demon Domain were present. Other than Wu Jiuzhui, there was also the demon emperor of the Wolf Race, Cru, and the demon emperor of the Kun Peng Race, Teng Ge, and the demon emperor of the Sand Lizard Race that I had never met before.
Different from the other Demon Thearchs who looked old, the Sand Lizard Clan's Demon Thearch looked like a young and strong man. He wasn't tall, and his muscles were bulging. His eyes were flickering with red light. Just by looking at his appearance, one could feel that he was very bloodthirsty and cruel.
Apart from the four Demonic Emperors, there was also an old man in a black robe standing on the reef.
With just a glance at him, I felt an indescribable pressure. His long black robe was like a black cloud that filled the sky, squeezing my eyes and enveloping my entire body.
I felt that something was wrong, so I hastily closed my eyes. After circulating my demon power in my body, I woke up from the illusion. However, I still felt a sweetness in my mouth as I spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Previously, I had guessed that the Black Dragon King's cultivation definitely wasn't lower than Pu Lai's. The current situation had completely confirmed my guess.
He didn't even move from where he was. I had only taken a glance at him, but I was already severely injured. It was really hard to imagine what realm his cultivation had reached.
Pu Lai was the first to land on the reef island. After being dazed for a moment, I suppressed the shock in my heart and landed together with him.
When I reached the reef island, I was still silently sizing up the Black Dragon King. His figure was tall and honest. His face seemed to have experienced the ravages of countless years, leaving behind many wrinkles on his face. Traces of time could be seen in every wrinkle.
When I first saw him from the sky, I felt an overwhelming pressure pressing down on me. However, when I looked at him from his side, I didn't feel that overbearing aura anymore. I only felt that he was no different from an ordinary old man.
While I was observing the Black Dragon King, Pu Lai cupped his hands towards the other Demonic Emperors and smiled. "Everyone is early."
Hearing his greeting, the other four Demonic Emperors smiled in response. The few of them seemed to be rather close. However, just as they were chatting happily, the Black Dragon King retracted his gaze from the distant sea and said indifferently, "It's getting late. Let's get ready to begin."
His voice wasn't loud, but his tone seemed to carry endless vicissitudes and sorrow. This feeling was rather familiar, but I couldn't recall when I had interacted with him before.
When the other Demonic Emperors heard the Black Dragon King's voice, they all stopped talking. Pu Lai was the first to smile and nod his head. "Let's begin."
Upon saying that, he immediately sat down. The other Demonic Emperors moved to surround him before sitting down as well. I looked at the situation in front of me that was completely different from when the other ferocious beasts had awakened. I didn't know what to do and could only stand there blankly.
The Black Dragon King was also standing with me. His gaze was still fixed on the distant sea, as though the ceremony in front of him had nothing to do with him.
After the four Demonic Emperors sat down, they formed a ball with their hands in front of them. After a short moment, four pure demonic powers appeared. When the golden radiance of the original demonic powers filled the ball that they formed, the four of them pulled their hands together at the same time. The ball of original demonic powers formed a long golden line.
The Demonic Emperor of the wolf race, Crewe, was the first to stand up and tossed the golden line towards Pu Lai's head.
That golden line didn't fly far, but hovered above Pu Lai's head. It was parallel to the ground as it steadily floated in mid-air.
Following that, the sturdy man from the Sand Lizard race also stood up and casually tossed the golden line in his hand out. This time, when the golden line reached Pu Lai's head, it stood vertically and connected with Crewe's golden line, forming a right angle.
After that, Wu Jiuzhui and the Demon Sovereign of the Kunpeng Race stood up at the same time. The two of them also threw out the golden threads in their hands. Similarly, one horizontal and one vertical, they connected with the previous two golden threads, forming a vertical golden rectangle that floated above Pryor's head.
After they had completed everything, Pu Lai, who had his eyes closed, abruptly stood up from the ground. There wasn't any golden line in his hand, but there was a ball of white light that was flickering.
After he stood up, the golden rectangle that was originally floating above his head landed in front of him. He then forcefully sent the ball of white light that was flickering in his hand into the golden rectangle.
When the two met, an intense spatial aura burst forth. A rainbow light flickered in the golden rectangle. A few seconds later, it had formed a door.
The few Demonic Emperors had been busy for such a long time. It was obvious that they had joined hands to create a teleportation door. Could it be that the Chaos Beast was behind this teleportation door?
Just as this thought popped up in my mind, Pu Lai and the other four Demonic Emperors took a few steps back simultaneously. Then, they cupped their fists and pointed at the teleportation door. "Both of you, please!"
The Black Dragon King took the lead and walked towards the teleportation door, while I was stunned. When Pu Lai and the rest looked at me, I realized that apart from Pu Lai and the four Demonic Emperors, there was only the Black Dragon King and me. The 'both of you' that they were referring to were obviously the two of us.
This situation was completely out of my expectations. What was the situation inside the teleportation door?
What did they do after entering?
I didn't know any of these. In a moment of desperation, I turned to look at Pu Lai in an attempt to get an answer from him.
Pu Lai obviously knew that I was perplexed. After seeing my gaze, he smiled and said, "The Chaos Beast is inside the door. Only those who possess the power of Chaos can enter. Don't worry. With the Black Dragon King around, nothing will happen. You just have to follow him and do whatever he does."
Hearing him say that, I felt a little relieved.
At this moment, the Black Dragon King had already walked to the teleportation door. He turned to glance at me and said, "Hurry up and follow him!" Upon saying that, he took the first step into the teleportation door.
With a flash of white light, the Black Dragon King's figure completely disappeared. I focused my attention and looked inside. Apart from the white light and the faint flickering rainbow light, I couldn't see anything else in the teleportation gate.
In actual fact, with such an intense spatial aura fluctuation, the other side of the teleportation door could be thousands of miles away. It could even be a space that didn't belong to this world. It was impossible to see anything from the outside.
