Chapter 699 - 492: The Demon Monarch Resurrects, the Abyssal Realm Appears
The Flame Demon Lord was composed entirely of charred rock. In the fissures, dark red magma could be seen slowly solidifying.
A pair of massive, curved horns grew from its head, one of which was broken.
A massive hole pierced its chest, seemingly bored straight through by some immense power. The residual energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to ripple slightly.
The aura of a Domain Level being lingered in the air, impossible to ignore.
This was the true reason Raylo had chosen this place.
The recent, frequent spatial disturbances in the Black Stone Mountain Range had brought not only trouble, but also... opportunity.
For instance, the corpse of this Flame Demon Lord, which had fallen from a Space Rift.
Not far from the Flame Demon Lord’s corpse, another scene was just as striking.
Over a hundred Abyssal Inferior Demons were completely surrounded by a thousand Wailing Beldams.
These small demons, just over a meter tall and pitch-black, resembled scrawny monkeys. They were huddled together, trembling in fear.
The Wailing Beldams weren’t attacking.
They merely floated silently, forming a large circle around them.
These Abyssal Inferior Demons were also "gifts" from the spatial disturbances.
Raylo leaped down from the head of the Cloud Sea Giant Whale, landing on the plateau.
Raylo strode slowly toward the Flame Demon Lord’s corpse.
He could feel the immense power still lingering within the corpse, as well as... a trace of a pure Abyssal aura.
For the Demon Monarch Agrean, who was about to be summoned, this was undoubtedly the finest offering.
The corpse of a Domain Level Flame Demon Lord.
And over a hundred living Abyssal Inferior Demons.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
The Hill Giants leaped down from the back of the Cloud Sea Giant Whale one by one.
The Giant Legion quickly finished assembling on the plateau.
They stood silently, holding massive Rock Warhammers.
The Black King in the sky saw the disciplined Giant Legion, and a flicker of apprehension crossed its massive, golden, vertical pupils.
Raylo turned to face the Flame Demon Lord’s corpse, which lay silently on the ground.
With a mere thought.
A heart the size of a human head, glowing with a dark red light, appeared in his hand out of thin air.
The heart pulsed—THUMP-THUMP—and with every beat, it seemed to resonate strangely with space itself, distorting the light around it.
Immense and pure energy radiated from it.
It was none other than the heart of the Demon Monarch, Agrean.
As the heart appeared, the surrounding Magic Power environment changed drastically in an instant.
The free-floating Energy Elements in the air became exceptionally active.
The dark red magma, long since solidified within the fissures of the cold Flame Demon Lord’s corpse, actually showed faint signs of glowing once more.
VMMMM!
Agrean’s heart began to vibrate violently.
A phantom image slowly emerged from the heart, rapidly solidifying.
But this time, it was not the thousand-meter-tall, sky-scraping phantom from before.
Instead, it was a figure about the height of an ordinary human.
He was shrouded in a dark red glow, his features obscured, leaving only a vaguely discernible humanoid silhouette.
The moment Agrean’s phantom will appeared, his gaze was instantly captivated by the Flame Demon Lord’s corpse nearby.
"Oh?"
Agrean sounded surprised.
"A... Domain Level Peak Flame Demon Lord?"
"And... it hasn’t been dead long. Its body is still in remarkably good condition."
The next moment, an undisguised wave of excitement and desire emanated from the demonic phantom.
"Hahahaha!"
"An excellent vessel! This is ten times better than the best-case scenario I envisioned!"
The Demon Monarch’s will formed an invisible psychic storm that swept out in all directions.
Even the Wailing Banshee Queen in the sky let out an unsettled shriek, her form unconsciously drifting backward.
"Master, I accept this gift!"
Agrean’s thoughts brimmed with impatience.
Before his words had even faded, a deep red light shot out from his humanoid phantom, striking like lightning to instantly envelop the thirty-meter-tall corpse of the Flame Demon Lord.
HISS... HISS... HISS...
A strange sound arose.
Bathed in the red light, the Flame Demon Lord’s charred, rocky body began to change dramatically.
Cracks spread rapidly across its massive body. But what shone from within them was not the sign of collapse, but an increasingly scorching, dark red light.
It was as if a volcano were awakening within its body!
Agrean’s phantom will transformed into a red stream of light and shot straight toward the Flame Demon Lord’s head, merging with it without the slightest hesitation.
The next moment, the Demon Heart floating above Raylo’s palm transformed into a blood-red streak and shot out with a whistle.
Its target was the massive, gaping hole in the Flame Demon Lord’s chest!
THWUMP!
A soft thud sounded.
The heart sank into the massive cavity, embedding itself perfectly within the surrounding flesh and tissue.
BOOM!
A terrifying aura erupted!
A violent storm of energy erupted from the Flame Demon Lord’s corpse, sweeping outward.
Dust and stone flew across the plateau.
The Hill Giants had to slam their massive Stone Hammers into the ground before them just to keep their footing.
The Black King let out a suppressed growl, its massive body pushed back several meters by the blast wave, carving deep claw marks into the hard rock.
ROAR!
A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the throat of the "corpse"!
Within the Flame Demon Lord’s dim eye sockets, two orbs of shadowy Hellfire suddenly blazed to life!
