Chapter 1694 Demon God
……
At this moment, within the Chaotic Galaxy, inside the God-Locking Tower.
The immense divine power almost completely covered the Demon Emperor's body, and a jet-black divine spark gradually flew out from between the Demon Emperor's eyebrows.
Seeing the divine spark fly out, the Demon Emperor reached out and grasped it without hesitation. Feeling the power within the divine spark, his cultivation level soared dramatically at that moment.
Boom! ! !
As this power fluctuated violently, the demonic energy around the Demon Emperor began to surge, and the divine spark flickered rapidly before finally disappearing back into the space between his eyebrows!
"Quickly calm yourself down and strive to break through to the Dao God Realm!"
Outside the Tower of Gods, the voice of the Evil Emperor could be heard.
The Demon Emperor nodded without hesitation, and his demonic energy began to rise rapidly, his power gathering and ready to be unleashed!
boom! !
As the demonic energy surged, the Demon Emperor could clearly sense that his divine spark had grown slightly larger, and his half-step Dao God realm began to tremble wildly!
The entire area has begun to spread rapidly!
The God-Locking Tower stands like a pillar supporting the sky, with ancient seal script engraved on its body flowing with dark golden light, and it has begun to continuously channel the power of the starry sky into the tower!
The Demon Emperor sat cross-legged, hovering in the void at the heart of the tower. The dark divine core between his brows had expanded to over ten feet in size, with divine runes moving like living snakes. Each breath he exhaled stirred up a monstrous demonic aura, causing the space inside the tower to crack and hiss under the pressure of this force.
"At the realm of Dao God, one must wield the laws of demons and reverse the chaos!"
The Demon Emperor's eyes were tightly closed. Within his sea of consciousness, the shackles of being a half-step Dao God were like a glass barrier, teetering on the brink of collapse under the impact of the power surging forth from his divine spark.
He could clearly sense that the demonic laws in the chaotic starry river were converging on him, but these laws were extremely violent, like wild horses. To tame them, he needed to integrate them into his own Dao foundation and undergo three tribulations of laws!
Tribulation of the mind, tribulation of the body, tribulation of the divine path.
Each half-step Dao God experiences different tribulations when breaking through to the Dao God realm, but the Demon Emperor must undergo three Law Tribulations!
The first hurdle is the tribulation of inner demons.
His sea of consciousness suddenly surged, and countless twisted black shadows crawled out from the depths of his divine core, transforming into the appearance of the Demon Emperor. However, they seemed to have no intelligence whatsoever, only knowing to rush towards the Demon Emperor at all costs!
"You delusional people dare to disturb my Daoist resolve?"
The Demon Emperor's divine soul surged, and pitch-black demonic flames ignited around his body, burning away all the inner demons.
His Dao heart was already as firm as a rock; these inner demons were merely the manifestation of the backlash from the laws.
But at that moment, a phantom exactly like him rose from the ashes of his inner demons. The phantom was surrounded by even stronger demonic energy, and its eyes were icy cold: "Demon Emperor, all you seek is power. Why not completely succumb and become a pure demon?"
"What difference is there between a pure demon and a beast?"
The Demon Emperor sneered, "My path is to wield the demonic path, not to be enslaved by it!"
He raised his hand and struck the illusory figure with a palm strike. His divine soul power merged with the demonic laws, transforming into a Demon Sword that pierced straight through the illusory figure's brow.
The phantom let out a shrill scream, then turned into a cloud of black mist and was completely devoured by the divine essence.
Having overcome the tribulation of inner demons, the patterns on his divine essence became clearer, radiating an even more refined demonic power.
The second tribulation is the physical body.
The power of the Dao God surged like a tide, beginning to reshape the Demon Emperor's physical body. His bones emitted loud cracking sounds as every inch was tempered by the Demonic Laws, gradually transforming from black iron to dark gold, like a chaotic demonic jade!
The meridians were widened a hundredfold, and the flowing demonic energy turned into liquid, making a "whooshing" sound; fine demonic patterns appeared on the surface of the skin, covering the whole body like armor, exuding an indestructible aura.
But this reshaping process is extremely painful, like being gnawed at by a thousand ants, or being torn apart by a thousand knives!
The Demon Emperor clenched his teeth, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, and the power within him was about to go berserk.
Outside the God-Locking Tower, the Evil Emperor sensed the disturbance inside. His blood-red robes fluttered without wind as he formed hand seals, channeling his divine power into the tower, which transformed into runes that protected his physical body: "Demon Emperor, hold on!!"
With the help of the Evil Emperor's protective power, the Demon Emperor forcibly suppressed the rampaging power and guided the power of the Dao God to continue reshaping his physical body.
After an unknown amount of time, his physical body finally completed its transformation, emanating a faint halo of chaotic light. Even ordinary attacks from Dao Gods could hardly harm him in the slightest.
Having survived the physical ordeal, the divine essence shrank again, becoming the size of a fist, and embedded itself between the eyebrows, completely merging with the physical body and the divine soul.
The third level is the tribulation of the divine path.
Above the chaotic starry river, dark clouds gathered, forming a huge black vortex. Lightning flashed and thunder roared within the vortex, and silvery-white divine lightning intertwined, exuding an aura of destruction.
This is the punishment of those who defy the heavens and break through the limits of the Chaos Divine Path, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary divine tribulations!
"The gods are ruthless; do they even want to stop me?"
The Demon Emperor raised his head and roared, his demonic energy soaring into the sky, transforming into a jet-black pillar of light that pierced through the top of the God-Locking Tower and shot straight into the clouds.
With a swift movement, he instantly appeared outside the God-Locking Tower, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Evil Emperor, his dark pupils gleaming with fearless light.
Boom! !
The first bolt of Heavenly Divine Lightning struck down like a giant silver dragon, slamming heavily onto the magic shield.
The magic shield trembled violently, and countless cracks spread, but it ultimately blocked the impact of the divine lightning.
The Demon Emperor groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. The power of the Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning far exceeded their expectations.
"Come again!"
The Demon Emperor roared, and the divine spark between his brows erupted with brilliant black light. The laws of demons were fully unleashed, transforming into a gigantic demonic blade that cleaved towards the second bolt of heavenly divine lightning.
The demonic blade collided with the divine lightning, unleashing a deafening roar. Silver lightning and pitch-black demonic energy scattered and flew everywhere, instantly turning countless asteroids in the chaotic galaxy into dust.
One, two, three... Heavenly lightning fell like a torrential downpour, but the Demon Emperor simply waved his hand to block it. Demonic energy and blood-red divine power intertwined, forming a solid barrier in the chaotic starry river.
Under the tempering of the Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning, the Demon Emperor's divine essence became increasingly solid, and his control over the Demonic Laws also increased rapidly!
When the ninth Heavenly Divine Lightning struck, a hint of madness flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes. His demonic energy surged to its limit, and chaotic demonic flames erupted from his divine core, enveloping his entire body.
"Devil Transformation!"
He transformed into a pitch-black demonic shadow and charged towards the Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning. The power of the demonic laws clashed violently with the Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning, and his body was torn apart by the divine lightning, only to be rapidly reassembled in the demonic flames.
After an unknown amount of time, the Heavenly Thunder finally dissipated, the dark clouds dispersed, and the chaotic starry river returned to calm.
The Demon Emperor hovered in the void, surrounded by demonic energy. The divine spark between his brows emitted a chaotic light, and his aura had reached the level of a first-level god.
His realm was completely stabilized, and he broke through to the Dao God realm, thus achieving the position of Demon God!
"Congratulations, Demon Emperor, on becoming a Demon God!" The Evil Emperor stepped forward, a gratified smile on his face.
The Demon Emperor cupped his hands and said, "If it weren't for your protection, how could I have broken through so smoothly! Thank you!"
The Evil Emperor waved his hand, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes: "No need for thanks. Now that you have become a Demon God, your strength is equivalent to that of a first-level god. In the ancient times, the strength of a spirit god was far beyond that of an ordinary first-level god. Therefore, you still need even greater power!"
"What do you mean by that?" the Demon Emperor asked, puzzled.
The Evil Emperor looked up at the far west of the Chaos Galaxy, where clouds and mist swirled and an ancient and powerful aura emanated from the area!
"In the ancient times, the ancient human emperor once killed three great emperors! One of them was named the Myriad Demon Emperor, whose realm was above that of a Dao God, reaching the realm of an unparalleled emperor!"
"After his fall, his last remaining soul was hidden in the Palace of Gods and Demons. Since ancient times, countless people have wanted to inherit his legacy, but no one has ever succeeded. I think you can give it a try!"
A glint of light flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes: "The legacy of the Myriad Demon Emperor?"
“Indeed.” The Evil Emperor nodded. “The location of the Divine Demon Palace is at the bottom of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons in the far west. Now that you have become a Demon God, you may be the best candidate to inherit this legacy. However, the Divine Demon Palace is fraught with danger, not only because of ancient restrictions, but also because of the phantom image of the Emperor of Ten Thousand Demons left behind.”
He handed the Demon Emperor a black token, engraved with ancient demonic runes and radiating a faint demonic aura: "This is the Myriad Demon Token. Holding this token can break the outer layer of restrictions on the Divine Demon Palace. Remember, the Myriad Demon Emperor's phantom is extremely powerful. Even if you are a first-level god, you must not be careless."
The Demon Emperor accepted the Token of Ten Thousand Demons, its touch icy cold.
He gripped the token tightly, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination: "Rest assured, I will surely seize the inheritance!"
Before he finished speaking, the Demon Emperor's demonic energy surged, transforming him into a jet-black streak of light that hurtled towards the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons in the far west. His speed was incredible; the stars and nebulae along his path were awestruck by his demonic aura and gave way!
The Evil Emperor watched the Demon Emperor's departing figure, a complex light flashing in his eyes. He then turned and walked towards the God-Locking Tower!
Meanwhile, in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, the Demon Emperor had already arrived.
This is the place where the demonic energy of the Chaos Galaxy is most concentrated. The sky is a strange dark red, and the earth is covered with hideous cracks. Countless high-level demons roar and fight in the abyss, exuding a violent aura.
Holding the Myriad Demons Token, the Demon Emperor unleashed his demonic power. Sensing the pure demonic bloodline within him, the demons prostrated themselves on the ground, daring not to make the slightest move.
He proceeded along an ancient passage at the bottom of the abyss:
At the end of the passage, a colossal palace stands at the bottom of the abyss. The palace is entirely forged from black magic crystals and is tens of thousands of feet tall. The roof is carved with countless ferocious demon heads, and a huge plaque hangs above the gate with three ancient seal characters that read "Palace of Gods and Demons." The characters are vigorous and powerful, exuding the pressure of an ancient emperor.
"Is this the Palace of Gods and Demons?"
A fiery glint flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes; he could feel the intense and powerful aura emanating from within the palace.
Holding the Demon Token, he walked towards the palace gate.
As the Demon Token approached the gate, the demonic runes on the plaque lit up instantly, and the gate slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black passage.
