Chapter 1059 Ancient Heavenly Demon! Demon Transformation Ceremony!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
"Jiang Yao, what just happened?"The white-haired elder, Jiang Shoudao, exuded an intimidating presence without anger, effortlessly restraining the fleeing Jiang Shoudao. His gaze swept around and took in the corpse of the Demon Monster in the sea and the lingering fear on the faces of Jiang Yao and the others. He asked in a grave tone.
"Elder Shoudao, not long ago, Jiang Yuanwu invited us to help him hunt down a Demon Monster, but he harbored malicious intentions..."
Jiang Yao hurriedly recounted what had just taken place.
After listening, Jiang Shoudao was somewhat surprised as well. He looked at Jiang Yuanwu with a trace of regret, "What a pity... Your talent was decent, you had great potential for the future, yet you allowed yourself to be beguiled by a Demon Monster, ruining your own prospects."
Jiang Yuanwu clenched his teeth, remaining silent. He, too, understood the gravity of committing such an unforgivable act against his family; they would never let him off easily.
Beside him, Jiang Po steadied his nerves but still hesitated before asking, "That Divine Envoy... who on earth is he? Even the Holy Emperor was alarmed and came here in person."
Su Changkong was also listening intently. The individual referred to as the Divine Envoy by the Dragon Snake was terrifying beyond measure, unfathomable like a vast abyss. Merely his gaze alone was enough to make them tremble. In the short time of his appearance, he had managed to draw out the prominent figures of the Jiang Family. Su Changkong, too, was eager to learn the identity of the other party.
"Unless I am mistaken... this Divine Envoy is likely the ’Heavenly Demon,’ once suppressed by the Nine Great Ancient Sages."
Jiang Shoudao’s aged face took on a serious expression as he spoke slowly.
"Heavenly Demon?"
Everyone present shuddered.
"Elder Su... It is said that the most powerful among Demon Monsters are known as Heavenly Demons, superior to all other Demon Monsters. Each one caused widespread disaster in the ancient times and was responsible for boundless calamities. It was the Nine Great Ancient Sages who suppressed these Heavenly Demons..."
The people from the Jiang Family had varying degrees of understanding about this, and Jiang Yao, aware that Su Changkong came from a remote place and probably unaware of these matters, explained to him through a transmitted message.
"The Heavenly Demon suppressed by the Nine Great Ancient Sages..."
Su Changkong felt both shocked and a sense of realization upon hearing this.
No wonder the Divine Envoy felt so terrifying; this was the pinnacle of Demon Monsters, known as the Heavenly Demon! Each one was horrendously powerful, suppressed by the Nine Great Ancient Sages!
"These Heavenly Demons... are difficult to kill; even the Nine Great Ancient Sages expressed that they might resurface after several years. The First Saint left the Jiang Family with a Skywatch Mirror. This Skywatch Mirror can capture the aura of the Heavenly Demons. As long as they reveal their presence within the borders of the Ancient Holy Country, the Skywatch Mirror will detect them."
Jiang Shoudao furrowed his brows, clearly seeming troubled.
Heavenly Demons, adversaries of the Nine Great Ancient Sages. The sages couldn’t kill them outright but left behind methods to be used in preparation for the future.
"I see..."
Su Changkong also realized why Holy Emperor Jiang and the others had arrived so promptly.
The Skywatch Mirror had picked up the presence of the Divine Envoy, who was suspected to be a Heavenly Demon suppressed by the Nine Great Ancient Sages. The Jiang Family dared not take the situation lightly. The Holy Emperor himself hurried over on the Holy Emperor’s Heaven Boat in a short time to pursue the Divine Envoy. It was clear that the latter had only recently reappeared in the world and wasn’t at his full strength.
"It’s unlikely that they can do much against the Divine Envoy." Su Changkong thought to himself. The Divine Envoy revealed his presence probably because he was confident in escaping pursuit.
"Why didn’t the Heavenly Demon... kill us? With his strength, it seems it would have been effortless, right?"
Jiang Po was puzzled and confused. The Divine Envoy had appeared, done nothing, and then left without attacking them.
Jiang Shoudao glanced at him and said indifferently, "Perhaps... he simply didn’t consider you significant enough. He is a Heavenly Demon, high above. Why would he bother to deliberately crush a few ants?"
These words caused the corner of Jiang Po’s mouth to twitch slightly.
Indeed, in the eyes of the Heavenly Demons who once wreaked havoc upon the earth, Jiang Po and the others were no different than ants. Most people would not notice an ant and are even less likely to deliberately step on one.
The Heavenly Demons didn’t consider them worthy of attention, let alone worth the effort to strike. That was the fundamental reason they had survived.
"However, that Heavenly Demon... wouldn’t reveal his presence for no reason, risking a certain danger... he must have done something."
Jiang Shoudao pondered, the Divine Envoy was likely a Heavenly Demon from ancient times. If he risked the danger of being pursued to make his appearance, there must be a substantial reason.
Everyone was lost in thought, and Su Changkong couldn’t help but recall the words the Divine Envoy had said to him, the images he had seen, and the ancient, curse-like language he had heard.
"Hum hum hum!"
As he subconsciously recalled what had just happened, Su Changkong’s body suddenly trembled. His head buzzed as the ancient language echoed in his mind once again. The Monster Soul mark previously engraved in his Sea of Consciousness radiated a burning, scorching sensation.
Unlike before, when the Monster Soul mark solely drained Su Changkong’s life force, it now emitted a strange power, transforming his body as if trying to assimilate it.
"Boom!"
It was like a bolt from the blue for Su Changkong, who saw once more the scenes of Demon Monster-like creatures ravaging the earth, slaughtering, and causing destruction. Wherever they passed, not a blade of grass grew, Spirit Veins were cut off, and the land turned lifeless.
And amidst the destruction, each Demon Monster grew stronger. For a moment, Su Changkong felt as if... he had become one of them!
"Elder Su!"
At that moment, Jiang Yao’s cry of alarm rang in Su Changkong’s ears.
