Chapter 589: Cosmic Evil Devil King
The ancient figure of the Great Desolation Tablet Spirit slowly appeared as Xiao Ming's words fell.
"Flame Master, it has been a long time. Just listen to my Master in this matter and do not try anything rash. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if a fight breaks out and my Master doesn't restrain his strength and accidentally beats you into reincarnation, it would be very troublesome..."
Xiao Ming's lips twitched slightly. He had called Desolation to help him persuade the Flame Master. But with such a statement, what if it would ignite the Flame Master's rebellious spirit instead?
The expression on the Flame Master's face also seemed somewhat ugly. Initially, he was quite happy to see his old friend, the Great Desolation Tablet, but he didn't expect to be spoken to in such a manner. He was, after all, a 3rd Calamity Reincarnation Stage practitioner! How could he be so easily killed?
Struggling to maintain his composure, the Flame Master slowly spoke, "Great Desolation Tablet, you also know what is being suppressed here. If it escapes, countless lives will perish in misery. My own life and death are insignificant compared to the lives of those many."
"It won't escape. As a disciple of the Symbol Ancestor, you should be well aware of the strength of the Ancestor Stage," the tablet spirit replied with a chuckle.
"Perhaps you are right." After a moment of silence, the Flame Master ultimately relented. As a creation of the Symbol Ancestor, the Great Desolation Tablet was, after all, a member of the Anti-Yimo Alliance. It was unlikely to side with the Yimo faction.
"In that case, slightly loosen the seal and let that creature out, so I can deal with it," Xiao Ming suggested as he saw the Flame Master relenting.
The Flame Master began to act after Xiao Ming spoke. He controlled the stone coffin and moved it away from the center of the magma formation. The darkness below suddenly became much denser.
"Roar~~~"
In the depths of the ancient and profound dark space below, the long-suppressed Cosmic Evil Devil King sensed the weakening of the formation's power above and immediately launched another assault.
Along with the Flame Master releasing the suppression over the dark space below, the ancient creature that had been sealed for so long finally broke free from its confinement.
A three-thousand-meter swirl burst through the magma formation, and torrents of Demonic Qi swept out from within it. A massive black figure shot out from the swirl.
As soon as the black figure appeared, the magma in the surrounding area dimmed. This devil figure was immense, about three thousand meters tall. Its body was black as refined iron, covered in ferocious scars. It had no eyes, only a massive mouth filled with black, sharp teeth. Additionally, it had eight massive demonic arms extending from its gigantic body.
Its appearance was almost identical to the Cosmic Evil Devil that the three Yuan Gate leaders had controlled, except that an ordinary Cosmic Evil Devil King only had four devil arms, while this one had eight.
However, likely due to its injuries not being fully healed, its aura was fluctuating in an unstable manner. Clearly, it was still heavily wounded. Nevertheless, the strength displayed by this creature was definitely superior to that of the Flame Master. Without relying on the formation, the Flame Master would not have been able to suppress such a powerful creature.
The Cosmic Evil Devil King appeared in the sky above the Devil Suppressing Prison. Its huge mouth opened wide, emitting a buzzing roar that sounded like countless wild beasts roaring.
"Flame Master, dare you release me? Do you intend to switch sides and join the correct side?"
This Cosmic Evil Devil King clearly possessed high intelligence. Although it had no eyes, it was able to perceive the presence of Xiao Ming and the others.
The Flame Master laughed coldly, "Switch sides? You think you're qualified? Your sinful beast life is indeed quite stubborn to have managed to survive all these years. But your good days are coming to an end today..."
His words were tinged with a hint of regret as he looked at the Cosmic Evil Devil King. It took them quite an effort to severely wound and seal this Cosmic Evil Devil King back then. Little did he expect that he would now be the one to allow it to break free.
"Hmph!"
The Cosmic Evil Devil King snorted coldly, its dark and cold voice echoing in the sky, "It was just your trickery back then. Otherwise, who knows who would have won!"
The Flame Master glared at the Cosmic Evil Devil King and retorted, "If you are not convinced, we can have another round. If I could seal you once, I can do it a second time."
"There will always be another chance. When that time comes, I have no intention of letting you go."
The Cosmic Evil Devil King flicked its tail and was about to leave. Although it currently had a slight advantage in strength, it had just escaped suppression and hadn't fully recovered its strength yet. If they were to fight now, it would be difficult to determine a winner. Therefore, this wasn't the right time to make a move.
"You won't be leaving today."
Xiao Ming shook his head and spoke. The Cosmic Evil Devil King abruptly turned its head as he uttered these words, its pitch-black eye sockets seemingly sizing up this unfamiliar figure.
"Who are you?"
The voice of the Cosmic Evil Devil King was filled with caution. From its decision not to engage in battle with the Flame Master after breaking free from the confinement, it was evident that it was a cautious creature. Now, with the sudden appearance of a mysterious individual, it was natural for it to be on guard.
Xiao Ming also took a look at this Cosmic Evil Devil King, who was trying to make time while recovering its Demonic Qi, and said with a smile, "Just a mere passerby who happened to discover the presence of a Fiend Clan on the Tian Xuan Continent and thought to investigate. After all, one is bound to encounter such creatures when venturing into the Great Thousand World in the future."
"You are from another lower plane?" The Cosmic Evil Devil King relaxed a bit upon hearing that Xiao Ming was just from another lower plane. But then, he sniffed again and seemed to detect something else. "No, there seems to be the aura of another Fiend Clan on you. Although it's very faint, I can still smell it. It's from the Tunling Clan"
"Worthy of being a mount, your sense of smell is indeed quite sharp." Xiao Ming, who was about to make a move and summon the Emperor Flame, was somewhat surprised.
The aura of the Tunling Clan had long been fused with the Nihility Devouring Flame. He hadn't removed it because he thought it might be useful due to the unique characteristics of this clan. However, this aura was extremely faint. He hadn't expected that this Cosmic Evil Devil King would be able to detect it.
"What's the relationship between the Tunling Clan and your Yimo Tribe?"
Xiao Ming's question went unanswered as the sky was suddenly enveloped in a massive swirl of Demonic Qi. Amid the swirl's rotation, the Cosmic Evil Devil King dove into it with lightning-like speed.
'Uh, it seems it has sensed something,' Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow.
"That evil beast is about to escape!" the Flame Master shouted, urging Xiao Ming to act quickly, as he had yet to make a move.
"Tsk, tsk. Don't worry, it won't escape," Xiao Ming reassured and then clenched his right hand.
Rumble
The entire Devil Suppressing Prison shook with intense spatial fluctuations, affecting even the outside world.
At the peak of Mysterious Spirit Mountain, the wind howled and clouds gathered, filling the sky with dense dark clouds. Countless flashes of lightning flickered across the sky. Ying Huanhuan and Qing Tan, who had been waiting outside, looked up at the sky. There was a slight furrow in their delicate brows at this moment.
"Senior Sister, what is happening?" Watching the terrifying changes in the sky, Qing Tan turned to ask her more knowledgeable Senior Sister in a soft voice.
"I... I'm not sure either. It might be something our Master is doing. Don't worry, our Master is very strong!"
"Nnn."
