656 Demon King
“Miss Sara, have you really made your decision?”
“Miss Sara, although you have the noble bloodline of the Sala family, the prestige of the Sala family has long faded. If anything happens to you once you go to the Ancient Demon Planet, there will no longer be any hope of restoring the Sala family to its former glory.”
“Miss Sara, you are the only hope of the Sala family. Please reconsider…”
A large spaceship was slowly flying through the universe.
There was a prominent crest on the spaceship. It was the crest of the Sala family. The Sala family had a long history and was once a reputed family.
It was rumored that the ancestor of the Sala family was a great cultivator. He could destroy countless planets and shake the universe with ease as a top-notch Grand Emperor!
Every descendant of the Sala family was proud to have the blood of the Sala family flowing in their veins.
Unfortunately, billions of years later, there was no knowing how many generations had passed. The Sala family had already declined. There was only one Venerable in the previous generation, but he was only an ordinary Venerable who had barely managed to become an advanced planetary lifeform.
Moreover, the last family head had died in an accidental battle. Miss Sara was the current family head.
This Miss Sara was a genius. In just 300 years, she had already metamorphosed into a planetary lifeform. The bloodline of the Sala family in her body was the richest in almost a hundred generations.
The previous head of family was trying to obtain an artifact for Sala to cultivate. He hoped that Sala could become a Venerable or even a Grand Emperor sooner, and restore the Sala family to its former glory.
Unfortunately, with the accidental fall of the previous patriarch, all of this had changed. The enemies of the Sala family were stirring. With the current foundation and power of the Sala family, they could not stop the decline of the family at all, and might even be destroyed.
As the head of the family, Miss Sara carried a heavy burden on her young shoulders. She kept flipping through the ancient texts in the family. She did not believe that an ancient family that had the supreme bloodline of a Grand Emperor would not have any foundation at all.
Finally, Miss Sara really found a record when flipping through one of the ancient texts.
On the Ancient Demon Planet, the ancestor of the Sala family, Grand Emperor Sala, had sealed a Demon King.
This terrifying Demon King had an almost undying body. His combat body was very special, and he was also a top-notch Grand Emperor. Even Grand Emperor Sala could only defeat the Demon King, and could not kill him.
In the end, Grand Emperor Sala could only use the cosmic array to suppress the Demon King. He hoped to use the suppression of the cosmic array to slowly weaken the Demon King. Then, innumerable years later, he might be able to kill the Demon King completely.
This was a secret. There were only some rumors of it in the Sala family, but those were only rumors, and were not as detailed as the record in the ancient text.
Miss Sara immediately sensed that this might be a great opportunity, an opportunity for the Sala family!
In order to suppress the Demon King, Grand Emperor Sala had used an artifact as the eye of the cosmic array back then. Moreover, that cosmic array constantly would constantly weaken the Demon King while accumulating the power.
In essence, it was a trump card left behind by Grand Emperor Sala. Once the Demon King failed to withstand the suppression of the cosmic array in billions of years and fell, the power accumulated by the cosmic array over billions of years would be unimaginably massive, and would provide incredible help to the descendants of the Sala family’s bloodline.
These various factors caused Miss Sara to make up her mind about going to Planet Ancient Demon.
However, her decision was opposed by all the members of the Sala family. Sara was the family’s only hope and a prodigy. They did not want to put Sara at risk.
However, Sara’s bloodline was the richest. It was probable that apart from Sara, no one could activate the cosmic array on Planet Ancient Demon.
“All right, stop talking. I’ve already made the decision on this matter. This is an order!”
A trace of determination appeared on Miss Sara’s beautiful face. She stared intently at the distant cosmos. She had already seen Planet Ancient Demon.
Actually, Planet Ancient Demon was not mysterious. It was at the border of the Pelagios Domain, in an inconspicuous cosmos. This place was shrouded in irregular spatial storms all year round. Many cultivators, even Venerables, would occasionally enter it by mistake, but no one could ever come out again.
As time passed, the Ancient Demon Planet naturally became a dangerous place that everyone feared. Even Venerables were unwilling to enter lightly.
There were three more planetary lifeforms in the spaceship. They were all the last forces of the Sala family.
Even though the family was against Miss Sara, Sara had already made the decision. The Sala family could only do their best to ensure Sara’s safety. Hence, they sent out their strongest force, the only remaining three planetary cultivators.
“Miss Sara, have you really made your decision?”
“I’ve made my decision!”
“All right, let’s accompany Miss Sara in.”
The three planetary lifeform cultivators gritted their teeth. No matter how dangerous Planet Ancient Demon was, they decided to accompany Miss Sara in.
However, Miss Sara shook her head slightly and said, “No need. It’s useless for you to go in. My bloodline is the richest. Only I can break the cosmic array if I go in. You are the only three planetary lifeforms left in the family. I can’t allow any accidents to befall you. I’ll go in alone. Don’t forget, I’m also a planetary lifeform!”
Indeed, Miss Sara was also a planetary lifeform, and she was very strong.
Unfortunately, against the enemies of the Sala family, planetary lifeforms were nothing. Moreover, they could not turn the tide, let alone restore the former glory of the Sala family.
“But…”
“This is an order! Until I die, I remain the family head!”
Miss Sara’s face turned cold. The three planetary lifeforms opened their mouths, but hesitated in the end.
Swoosh.
Miss Sara left the spaceship and flew towards Planet Ancient Demon.
The huge Planet Ancient Demon was gloomy and dark. Although it was called the Planet Ancient Demon, it was not a planet, but a profound cosmic array formed by countless planets.
“I am a descendant of the bloodline of Grand Emperor Sala!”
When Miss Sara arrived in front of the Ancient Demon Planet, she vaguely sensed danger. However, deep down, there was a strong “desire”, as if it was guiding her.
Hence, she entered Ancient Demon Planet step by step.
Following the description in the ancient text, Miss Sara gritted her teeth and said, “As the descendant of Grand Emperor Sala’s bloodline, I call upon my blood. Ancient Demon Array, activate!”
Buzz.
As blood splattered out of Miss Sara’s body, the entire area of dozens or hundreds of planets on the entire Ancient Demon Planet seemed to be shaking. A terrifying power was reviving.
“What powerful strength. If I can inherit this power, I may even have a chance to become a Venerable, no, I may even become a Quasi-emperor…”
A trace of joy appeared on Miss Sara’s face. Everything recorded in the ancient text was true. Grand Emperor Sala had really suppressed a Demon King here.
However, after so many years, even the strongest Demon King would have long been reduced to ashes.
The current Planet Ancient Demon was just an energy magnetic field that accumulated unimaginable energy, specially prepared for descendants of Sala’s bloodline. Sara, on the other hand, may be able to inherit this power.
However, Sara did not get carried away. No matter how much time had passed, she was still very cautious. After all, Grand Emperor Sala had warned repeatedly in the ancient books that the terrifying Demon King had an undying body. Even Grand Emperor Sala could not kill him. In the end, he could only choose to suppress him. Hence, she had to be careful not to release the Demon King.
Otherwise, the people would be plunged into misery and suffering, the planets would collapse, and the cosmos would shake. The appearance of the Demon King would be unparalleled, causing an unimaginable calamity.
Miss Sara was very cautious. Before inheriting this power, she had to carefully sense if the Demon King was dead.
According to the records in the ancient books, the bloodline in Sara’s body was too rich, and had already been recognized by the cosmic array. Hence, Sara controlled the cosmic array and constantly activated the power of the cosmic array in an attempt to suppress it.
“There’s no movement anymore, nor is there any aura of the Demon King. As expected, with billions of years, even the strongest Demon King will be reduced to ashes.”
Sara finally heaved a sigh of relief. She could rest assured. The Demon King had long been reduced to cosmic dust, and could not possibly cause her any trouble. She could inherit this power left behind by Grand Emperor Sala without worries.
“There’s hope for the family…”
A trace of excitement appeared on Miss Sara’s face. Then, without any hesitation, she activated the cosmic array forcefully and began to absorb the energy stored by the cosmic array for billions of years.
Boom.
Terrifying energy surged into Sara’s body. Her combat body continued to divide and expand, and her strength continued to increase. However, she did not notice that a crack had begun to appear in the originally stable cosmic array as she continued to absorb a large amount of power.
Crunch.
After an unknown period of time, a crisp sound rang out, as if space was shattering.
“How many years has it been?”
A low voice sounded, echoing faintly in the cosmos. As if possessing some kind of magic, everyone shuddered. Even Miss Sara sobered up at once.
“The descendant of Sala finally can’t wait anymore? Hahaha, you’ve finally given me a chance…”
Miss Sara’s entire body was trembling. She felt a terrifying aura sweep through the entire cosmos like a tide. She tried her best to suppress it with the cosmic array.
Unfortunately, after she absorbed the energy in the cosmic array, the power of the cosmic array was no longer the same as before. Moreover, after billions of years, the power of the cosmic array was also weakening. The Demon King had already found an opportunity to break out of the array.
Boom.
A monstrous and terrifying aura wreaked havoc in the cosmos. An incomparably massive Demon King that had even reached dozens of light-years stretched across the cosmos.
“Demon… Demon King!”
“The Demon King is released. It’s over. A cosmic calamity is coming.”
“Once the Demon King awakens, the cosmos will collapse and the universe will be destroyed. Countless living beings will be devoured by the Demon King. We are sinners!”
The members of the Sala family were still on the spaceship, but they had already seen the changes on the Ancient Demon Planet.
The Demon King had been released!
“Hahahaha, Sala, you’ve been famed for your entire life, but so what? You died, but you couldn’t kill me. You can’t even stop me from breaking out of the array. I will devour all your descendants to vent my anger!”
This terrifying Demon King stared coldly at Miss Sara. He had sensed the bloodline of Grand Emperor Sala in Sara’s body. In his eyes, any blood descendant of Grand Emperor Sala must die!
Miss Sara also had a pained expression. What had she done to obtain power and revitalize the family? She had released the terrifying Demon King, the Demon King who could destroy the world.
In fact, if the Demon King was released, the Sala family would be the first to be destroyed. She was the sinner of the family!
“Demon King, no matter what, I’ll stop you!”
“You? You’re just an ordinary planetary lifeform. You’re not even qualified for me to snack on.”
Even a finger of the Demon King was larger than Miss Sara’s combat body.
“After I devour you, I’ll go and have a full meal. It’s been a long, long time since I’ve devoured life. That taste is really delicious…”
The Demon King seemed to be still missing the delicacies of living beings. Back then, he could easily devour dozens or hundreds of planets.
Buzz.
At this moment, spatial ripples suddenly appeared in the cosmos.
This sudden appearance of spatial ripples stunned both Miss Sara and the Demon King slightly.
Swoosh.
An ordinary figure instantly stepped out of the spatial passage formed by spatial ripples.
“This should be the Pelagios Domain…”
The mysterious figure still seemed a little confused, but he quickly sensed that something was amiss. He turned around abruptly and saw a head, indescribably huge, staring straight at him.
“Hmm, a fiend?”
