Chapter 583: Chapter 583: I am the Ancient Demon Emperor Eastern Emperor Taiyi

”The Seven Great Star Demon Kings have truly perished this time!”

”This man... he is invincible in this world!”

”We are like ants before him, unable to withstand a single blow!”

The shock in the hearts of these Demon Clan Strongest at the Divine King Realm was indescribable. All of them stared dumbly at the white figure in the distance, their knees weakening involuntarily, forcing them to kneel.

With one sword strike, seven Star Demon Towers were annihilated.

The Seven Great Star Demon Kings, who once ran rampant in the Demon World, had vanished into thin air.

They, these insignificant ants, despite their numbers, could not withstand the might of his single sword strike.

”This has nothing to do with you. Leave!”

Looking at the kneeling Demon Clan Strongest in the distance, Ye Yun waved his hand and smiled.

”Thank you, Senior, for sparing our lives!”

All the Demon Clan Strongest stood up with gratitude, bowed, and then hastily departed.

Within the entire Star Demon Sea, apart from some surviving Star Demon Clan Members, only Ye Yun remained.

Fragments of the Star Demon Towers still fluttered in the void, falling like snowflakes.

Ye Yun stood still, a sense of desolation in his heart.

Once again, the feeling of worldwide invincibility fills my heart.

”Sigh, being invincible isn’t a good thing after all. It seems I need to keep a lower profile in the future, leave some room for others to live, and find some fun for myself...” Ye Yun muttered to himself with a smile.

With a light wave of his hand, the Heaven-Slaying Sword disappeared into his palm.

Afterward, the Chaotic Bell above his head and the Twelfth-Rank Meritorious Golden Lotus beneath his feet were both stored in his warehouse.

Finally, the red God-level Armor he wore transformed into a red beam and vanished.

Ye Yun stored this Super God-level Armor within his body. He did not put it in his warehouse. In essence, it added an invisible layer of protection to his physical form.

Ye Yun’s cultivation base reverted from the First Level of the Divine King Realm to the Third Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm.

He took a shallow breath.

The Super God-level Armor had instantaneously elevated his cultivation base to the Divine King Realm. Although his Ancestral Dragon Body had helped him withstand it, it still put a strain on his physical body.

After swallowing a few pills to replenish his mana and vitality, Ye Yun tore through space and left the Star Demon Sea.

The fragments of the Star Demon Sea were still fluttering about.

「Suddenly.」

In the deepest part of the Demon World’s celestial barrier, the rift previously pierced by the tip of a Star Demon Tower had not yet fully closed when a Silver Cocoon squeezed its way through.

This Silver Cocoon, having been struck by the tower’s tip, was considerably weakened. The Silver Cocoon’s shell had also thinned.

Because the cocoon layer was thinner, one could vaguely make out a large black bird inside, standing quietly amidst roaring flames.

The large Silver Cocoon drifted down gently, like a snowflake.

After an unknown period, it finally landed within the Star Demon Sea.

The ancient Seven Star Stele had also floated beside the Silver Cocoon at some point, emanating a faint blue light.

THUMP... THUMP...

The Silver Cocoon pulsed like a heart, constantly absorbing the blue gaseous currents from the surrounding Star Demon Sea. These currents contained pure Demonic Qi.

Gradually, a black layer enveloped the Silver Cocoon, making the large black bird inside somewhat less distinct.

「After some time.」

A few Divine Sovereign Realm members of the Star Demon Clan cautiously approached.

”What is this?” a Star Demon Clan Member asked, gazing at the large Silver Cocoon and knitting his brows.

”My heavens! The cocoon is filled with flames, and there seems to be a large black bird inside...” another Star Demon Clan Member exclaimed in shock after getting a closer look.

The other Star Demon Clan Members were startled. They all rushed up and, pressing their faces against the large Silver Cocoon, peered inside.

Indeed, raging flames filled the Silver Cocoon. A large black bird stood within, its eyes closed as if in deep sleep.

”Why does this black bird have three legs?” one Star Demon Clan Member exclaimed, his eyes wide in disbelief.

Another Star Demon Clan Member gazed at the Seven Star Stele nearby, his expression profound, murmuring to himself, I’ve never seen such a peculiar bird fall from the sky into the Star Demon Sea. What could this possibly signify...

Another elder suddenly grew excited. He waved his arms and declared loudly, ”Hidden in a cocoon, to be reborn from it... Could this be the hope heaven has bestowed upon our Star Demon Clan?”

Just as his voice fell.

Suddenly, the nearby Seven Star Stele shot up, floated above the large Silver Cocoon, and emanated a somber blue glow. The original text on the Seven Star Stele had long since vanished.

”Could this be the First Star Demon King’s revered stele?” a Star Demon Clan Member asked, his face a mask of shock.

”It must be!” the elder affirmed, then mused, ”To think that even with the Star Demon Towers shattered, this stele would remain perfectly intact...”

”Indeed...” everyone sighed with deep regret.

The fall of the Seven Great Star Demon Kings and the Seven Star Demon Towers signified that their Star Demon Clan had completely withdrawn from the stage of the seven great powers of the Demon World. The remaining Star Demon Clan Members were now equivalent to a second or third-rate Demon Cultivation faction.

The Seven Star Stele suddenly flared with light.

However, these Star Demon Clan Members, oblivious to the stele’s value, paid it no mind. After all, only the Seven Great Star Demon Kings were the true owners of this Seven Star Stele. These clan members only knew fragments of information about the stele from hearsay; they didn’t even know its specific name.

”What’s that? Why has a line of text suddenly appeared on the stele?” a Star Demon Clan Member cried out.

Everyone quickly looked and saw a line of text materializing on the stele:

”Ancient Demon Emperor, descends upon the Demon World; Star Demon Clan, to rise once more.”

”Is this a prophecy from the stele?” the elder asked, his voice trembling with excitement.

”Could the black bird inside be the Ancient Demon Emperor? But our Demon World has a long history, and we’ve never heard of such a figure,” a Star Demon Clan Member said.

”We are the noble Demon Clan. The creature in this Silver Cocoon is a great Demon. Demons of our kind and demons of its kind follow separate paths. How can we obey its commands?” another Star Demon Clan Member huffed.

”The Demon Clan is very weak within the Demon World. If we, the dignified Star Demon Clan, were to follow the orders of this great Demon, imagine how many would laugh at us...” a Star Demon Clan Member said, frowning.

”Why don’t we kill it before this big bird hatches?” another Star Demon Clan Member suggested, malice glinting in his eyes as he raised his hand, his courage born of ill intent.

”Everyone, you mustn’t...!” an elder cried out in alarm, quickly blocking the younger Star Demon Clan Members.

HUMMM!

The Silver Cocoon suddenly trembled, erupting with a terrifying Super Divine Dragon Breath.

This Super Divine Dragon Breath contained a Wushang, surging power. In an instant, the knees of all Star Demon Clan Members present buckled, and they all knelt.

”I am the Ancient Demon Emperor, Eastern Emperor Taiyi! Who are all of you? State your names at once!”

Ancient Demon Emperor? Eastern Emperor Taiyi? Who...who on earth could this be?

The Star Demon Clan Members kneeling on the ground trembled all over, countless questions surging in their hearts.
