Chapter 1492: The God Demon Revives

Whoosh...

A breeze blew, and laurel flowers rained from above.

When the laurel flowers reached the group, they scattered to reveal a beautiful woman.

The woman looked to be in her thirties. She was wearing a plain long dress and a phoenix crown adorned with jewels and hairpins. She looked cold, but not undignified. She looked plain, but not unrespectable.

“You’re finally here, Yue Su! Was it a tough journey? Are you tired? Would you like a drink?” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King immediately went over to the woman with an obsequious smile and a honeyed voice. It was like he was a completely different person.

“Hah... Who was the one who said that women are time wasters again?” The Sea Dividing Sword Sage couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

“Who said that?” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King exclaimed in shock and looked left and right. “It has to be you, right Sky Scorching? How can you disrespect womenfolk so?”

The Sky Scorching Great Emperor spat out the wine he just drank and sighed. “Celestial Suppressing, please, have some shame!” If the Sage wasn’t an old friend of his, he would have slapped him on the face already.

Who would have thought that the island lord of the Floating Light Celestial Island, one of the six Sages of the Profound Island, was this shameless?

“Ahem... ignore their ramblings, Yue Su.” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King coughed and wore a wide smile on his face. “It’s been a long time since we last met, Yue Su. How have you been?”

“I’m good.” The woman, Empress Yue Su, replied coldly. “I would be better if you move a little further away from me.”

“That’s awesome. If you’re good, then I’m good as well.” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King automatically filtered out the latter half of her sentence. “In fact, I’m feeling better than ever before now that I’ve seen you.”

Yue Su ignored him and nodded in the direction of the Sea Dividing Sword Sage, Danxia Zi, and the Sky Scorching Great Emperor. She then looked at the whirlpool in front of her and asked, “What’s with this whirlpool? Why are all the demonic fires gathered at this place?” Danxia Zi and everyone could sense that the demonic fire spread across countless sea regions had all vanished into this whirlpool.

“This whirlpool—” Danxia Zi was just about to explain when suddenly, the abnormal attraction force surrounding the area suddenly disappeared into nothing.

At the same time, the whirlpool began shrinking at a visible rate until it was completely gone. Seawater quickly filled up the gap it left behind.

“What’s going on?” The five Sages exchanged confused looks with each other. Besides the terrible aura still emanating from deep beneath the sea, they could neither see nor sense anything.

“Should we head down and check it out for ourselves?” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King dropped the obsequious, lecherous smile on his face and turned serious.

Danxia Zi disagreed. “There is no need to risk unnecessary trouble. Let’s meet up with Elder Profound and our two young friends first.”

Although it was extremely likely that Old Man Profound Firmament, Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou were the ones who created the whirlpool, he wasn’t planning to risk looking into the spot where the whirlpool had disappeared. Instead, he was planning to reenter the god demon’s corpse via the gap he had emerged from. Considering the current situation, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Although the other Sages were very curious about whatever was happening underneath the sea, they also knew better than to succumb to that irrational impulse. Naturally, they agreed with Danxia Zi’s plan.

“Let’s go then.”

The five Sages were just about to move when suddenly, they felt something and looked down at the same time.

RUMBLEEEEE!!!

A terrible rumble came from the sea. The next moment, the ocean spanning thousands and thousands of kilometers all rose up at the same time.

It was a grand sight to put it mildly. At the same time, a terrible, vast, violent energy washed out of the sea. Such was the gale that even the Sages found it difficult to arrest themselves. Actually, scratch that, they were almost as helpless as leaves being carried away by the wind.

Suddenly, all five Sages took off toward the distance at the exact same time.

Rumble rumble rumble!

The rumblings continued to grow louder and more intense as time passed. At the same time, two spots in their vision abruptly protruded like something massive was about to burst out of the waves.

Splash!

A pair of mountains burst out of the seawater and reached out into the sky, kicking up even greater gales and sky-reaching waves.

The five Sages could only run harder. It wasn’t until the gales and the waves subsided slightly that they found the room to check out the two mountains that had emerged from the bottom of the sea.

“Is that a... hand?” The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King gulped and asked hesitantly.

The two mountain-like objects were made of flesh and blood. They were also covered in dark green demonic flames. Parts of the flesh had rotted away to reveal pale white bones, but one could still tell that the two mountains were really a pair of fists.

Mountain-sized fists.

“That’s the god demon’s hands alright.” Danxia Zi had entered the god demon’s body before. Naturally, he recognized him at first glance.

The two fists were still reaching out toward the sky. The arms beneath the fists might be withered and dead, but they still seemed as indomitable as pillars that held up the sky.

The next moment, the rising sea level tilted slightly at an angle, causing countless liters of seawater to roll toward one end of the ocean.

It looked... It looked like a giant was sitting up.

“That god demon hadn’t come back to life, had it?”

The Sky Scorching Great Emperor covered himself in raging fire and swept away the incoming wind and water. His usually dignified and confident face was now colored in deep astonishment.

The other Sages were silent, but their expressions made it clear that they were making similar assumptions.

A pair of thick, curved bull-like horns emerged from the sea next. The horns looked as big as the largest trees in the world, except they were enveloped in demonic fire and brimming with demonic intent. Following right after the bull-like horns was a head the size of an island.

𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The flesh and blood of the head had long since rotted away, leaving behind only a pale white skull and deep, massive, pitch black eye sockets. One look was enough to strike fear in anyone.

Before the five Sages could recover from their shock, an even bigger boom resounded throughout heaven and earth. This time, it was the god demon’s continent-like torso that surfaced from the sea.

Some parts of the body were still covered in flesh. Some were decayed, and some were covered in all sorts of wounds and cracks. The most conspicuous wound of it all was the round-shaped wound on the left side of its chest. Golden light glimmered behind the wound, and the energies pouring out of it were positively terrifying.

The others weren’t familiar with this, but Danxia Zi recognized it instantly. After all, that was the gap he had emerged from just a while ago.

“He... actually sat up.”

The Celestial Suppressing Wisdom King stared at the revived god demon with wide open eyes. It was one thing to assume and another thing to witness it with his own eyes.

Seeing was believing, and no words could describe how he and everyone else were feeling right now.

“What on earth did they do? How did the god demon come back to life?” Danxia Zi muttered to himself.

As if on cue, the god demon suddenly turned his head and looked straight in their direction. At the same time, a pair of dark green flames burst into existence within its empty eye sockets.

Despite being dozens of kilometers away from the god demon, all five Sages felt their scalp turning numb, and their souls shuddering all the way to the core. In fact, it wasn’t just a feeling. Wisps of demonic fire were catching onto their bodies.

The five Sages did not dare to extinguish them though. They were all afraid that doing so would earn the god demon’s ire and an attack they almost certainly could not withstand.

Luckily, the god demon didn’t seem very interested in them. He only shot them a look before looking away and scanning left and right.
