Chapter 369 - Awakening of the Behemoth

Chapter 369: Awakening of the Behemoth

“This… This is…?”

The five demon emperors were shocked. They hurriedly looked at their feet and realized that apart from the soil, there was a layer of something soft and flesh-like below.

“Retreat, retreat quickly!”

The five demon emperors were not stupid. They hurriedly retreated until they returned to the cave tunnel they had come down from.

When they reached the tunnel, they headed forward carefully, especially the “ground” they had stepped on just now. Looking from afar, they suddenly had a bold guess.

“Does this… look like lips?”

“Lips? Such huge lips?”

“If it really has such huge lips, how massive is the body of this terrifying entity?”

The five demon emperors were truly shocked. They had seen the combat bodies used by those humans. Although they were also huge, they paled in comparison to this mysterious “lifeform” in front of them.

.

Of course, the premise was that this was really a mysterious lifeform, and those were really lips!

“Wouldn’t we know if we give it a try? If it’s really a dire beast, a true ruler might be born among us!”

...

“That’s right. We dire beasts are just too disorganized, and not as united as humans. However, the fundamental reason is that none of us are willing to submit to another. There is no true ruler.”

“Even if this is a ruler, and we all become its subordinates after it awakens, that’s still much better than being killed by humans.”

“Then let’s give it a try.”

The five demon emperors also made their decision. Even though this was very dangerous and they did not know what would happen, could it be worse than being hunted down by humans?

“Grr…”

Hence, the five demon emperors roared at the sky. At the same time, their massive bodies quickly cleared the soil on the ground.

However, no matter how they roared, this behemoth did not seem to move at all.

These demon emperors were not discouraged. They began to quickly clean the soil off the mysterious creature. As they cleaned deeper, they became more and more certain that this must be an extremely massive and terrifying behemoth.

It turned out that they had come here from the cave precisely to the head of this terrifying behemoth. Just the behemoth’s lips alone were probably dozens of kilometers in size.

Its head was as boundless as the ocean.

That was just the head. How massive would the body of the behemoth be?

They could barely believe their eyes. Perhaps the entire Black Wind Canyon, and even thousands of kilometers below, was filled with the body of this behemoth.

This was too terrifying. What kind of behemoth could grow to such a massive size?

However, despite their fear, the five demon emperors still wanted to try their best to wake this behemoth.

Hence, they stepped on the behemoth’s body, its lips, noses, eyes, ears, and so on. They all tried everything they could think of to wake the behemoth. The five demon emperors even attacked it. They unleashed their full strength, but they could not even break the behemoth’s skin.

“Could this behemoth already be dead?”

“Impossible. If it’s dead, how can its corpse be so well preserved? It’d probably have long turned into a skeleton. It must be because we haven’t found the right method. Let’s look more carefully.”

There was nothing special about the behemoth. On the other hand, it was very unusual that this cave could extend all the way to the behemoth’s head.

“Eh, what’s this?”

Suddenly, a demon emperor discovered a thumb-sized scarlet crystal on the ground. It appeared crystalline and had a bizarre air.

“Let’s search for more of it.”

The five demon emperors continued to search. As expected, they found some scarlet crystal fragments around. Most of them were very tiny, and none of them were complete. There seemed to be a strange power within them.

“There’s a strange power in these scarlet crystals. Let’s throw them into the behemoth’s mouth!”

The five demon emperors did not recognize these scarlet crystals. They all grew slowly, and only after hundreds or thousands of years did they grow into demon emperors.

Although they did not know how miraculous these scarlet crystals were, these scarlet crystals containing strange power were definitely extraordinary since they were found near the behemoth.

Hence, these demon emperors gathered the dozens of thumb-sized scarlet crystals and threw them right into the behemoth’s mouth.

They did not know if the behemoth could devour these scarlet crystals, but this was all they could do.

Hence, after throwing the scarlet crystal into the behemoth’s mouth, the few demon emperors hurriedly retreated to the tunnel of the cave to observe the behemoth carefully.

“There’s still no effect…”

Half an hour had passed, but there was still no movement from the behemoth. The five demon emperors were all very disappointed. They had already done their best and tried everything they could, but still could not wake the behemoth.

Buzz.

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor in the cave. Even though it was very slight, the five demon emperors could clearly feel it.

“Wait, there’s movement!”

The five demon emperors all had excited expressions. They could clearly see the behemoth’s “eyes”. They seemed to be trembling slightly. Although it was very subtle, they were indeed trembling.

At the same time, a faint gray airflow rose from the behemoth’s body and filled the entire cave. However, the five demon emperors could not see it at all.

The shaking became more and more intense, but the behemoth still showed no signs of “getting up”.

Swoosh.

Suddenly, the gray airflow swept over and enveloped the five demon emperors. However, the five demon emperors did not sense it at all.

Then, the gray airflow spread into the demon emperors’ bodies at once.

Immediately, the demon emperors’ bodies began to rot and fade away.

“What… what is this?”

“No, no…”

“No, we woke you up. We woke you up…”

The five demon emperors were all terrified. They could only watch helplessly as their bodies “disappeared” bit by bit. This was simply bizarre to the extreme.

However, they had no way to resist.

Seeing their bodies turn to ashes, how could they not know that this must be the doing of the behemoth in front of them? They did not understand. They were the ones who had awakened the behemoth. Why did it want to kill them when fighting?

Of course they did not understand, for this behemoth was born to annihilate, to destroy.

Rumble.

As the tremors of the behemoth’s body became more and more intense, when the bodies of the five demon emperors were completely reduced to ashes, the behemoth’s eyes opened.

A terrifying aura surged into the sky, and the behemoth’s huge head slowly rose.

The entire Black Wind Canyon seemed to have suffered a magnitude 10 earthquake. It shook violently, and even caused all the surroundings of the Black Wind Canyon within a radius of a thousand miles to shake violently.

“Suspected earthquake in the Black Wind Canyon…”

The martial artists who were closely monitoring the Black Wind Canyon immediately reported this information.
