While the dark night of Heavenly Path City was illuminated by the most glamorous fireworks, on the Grand Desolate Plateau of the Tian Yuan Realm, Black Fire Stone was also dizzy because of the bright moonlight.
The soft sand under his feet made him feel as if he was stepping on cotton. He swayed left and right lightly for a while before he finally managed to support his enormous body with his two hooves that were bent backward.
Black Fire Stone took a deep breath. The dizziness that had just subsided surged back again. The air of the Heaven's Origin Sector was too refreshing and sweet. He was almost drunk. He inhaled and exhaled until his lungs were about to explode, forgetting to breathe out.
Holding his pounding heart, Black Fire Stone observed the new world carefully together with his companions.
As a black blood warrior at the bottom level of the Coalition Army of Demons, he and his companions in the same company had been to the Tian Yuan Realm countless times in illusions. However, the feeling of being in the real world could not be simulated by any hallucinogenic drugs.
The sky here was so stable, the moonlight was so bright, the wind was so gentle, and the air was so sweet. Even the sand that was raised by the wind did not seem to carry any poison or venom. There were not too many annoying vampires, either!
Black Fire Stone could not figure out why human beings called this place 'Grand Desolate Plateau'. Compared to the Blood Demon Sector, how could this place be called 'Desolate Plateau' at all?
According to Black Fire Stone, this place should be called … should be called …
Black Fire Stone extended his four thick and short fingers and scratched his rough scalp. He grinned and forgot the whole thing.
As the 'Black-Horned Pack Bulls' of the black-blood demons, Black Fire Stone and his brothers were never good at thinking. If they could not figure it out, they would just ignore it and listen to their master.
Black Fire Stone blinked his eyes that were as large as bells. He looked around for his master.
He saw that he was in the middle of a white desert. Behind him was the unpredictable Dark Desolate Domain where lightning was flashing and thunder was rumbling. In front of him was a flat plateau with only a few lonely outposts of human beings. His eyes flashed with panic.
Ever since the integration of the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Blood Demon Sector accelerated, the Dark Desolate Domain, as the integration point of the two Sectors, had been expanding nonstop. Right now, it had covered one third of the northern area of the Grand Desolate Plateau.
Tearing wormholes in the sky of the Grand Desolate Plateau was much easier than before, too. Insignificant crystals were enough to summon a devilish warship or a demon emperor to the Tian Yuan Realm!
Of course, Black Fire Stone did not know such a complicated thing. He only saw colorful light balls appearing in the air around him.
In the beginning, the balls of light were like fireflies floating around. However, they soon expanded into giant torches more than ten meters in diameter. When the dazzling light dissipated into wisps of light, countless demons appeared in the Tian Yuan Realm!
Black Fire Stone was not smart enough to remember the names of the demons. He had never seen so many strange creatures of his own kind before.
He wasn't even sure if these fellows were the same kind. They looked too strange. Some of them looked like hybrids of lions and tigers. Some of them had three or four wings. Some of them had almost ten eyes and long tails of colorful feathers. Some of them were as round as balloons, with a layer of sharp thorns covering their bodies. They were floating in the air. If other demons accidentally touched them, they would shriek. They would let out ear-piercing shrieks, and their bodies would swell up again. Their spikes would turn scarlet red.
Those fellows did not seem easy to deal with. If Black Fire Stone had run into them in the woods, he would've run away immediately.
But right now … Black Fire Stone knew that they were on the same side.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of explosions that sounded like dull thunder burst out in the air. Dozens of light spots that looked like fireflies congregated and triggered a magnetic field almost a hundred meters in diameter.
A cluster of behemoths was quickly condensing in the magnetic field.
When the mystic light dissipated, under the illumination of the pale moonlight, a gigantic bug as tall as a four-story building appeared. It was covered in a black shell from head to toe and had a huge halberd dozens of meters long growing on its forehead!
Hum!
The black shell of the insect vibrated rapidly, spurting out a series of dense demonic auras, as if it had hundreds of magnificent battle flags stuck on its body.
Black Fire Stone couldn't help but shudder.
Although he did not know the name of the giant insect, as a member of the Horn Clan, he was naturally awed and worshiped such divine beasts that had horns.
"Moo!"
"Moo! Moo! Moo! "
Black Fire Stone and his companions, the black-horned bulls in the same company, echoed with the giant insect.
Black Fire Stone had been slightly scared of the 'brutal human beings' before, but he was scared of nothing now.
With such a tough giant insect here, whose horn alone was dozens of meters long, would any enemy be able to defeat such a divine beast?
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! "
The old man with golden horns, a black battle suit, and dark red armor finally appeared. He waved a gigantic horn hammer engraved with demonic runes and bellowed, "Brute Hammer Company, quickly assemble! You stupid bulls, what are you waiting for? Who the hell wants to live a long life?"
"The evil human beings have invaded the Grand Desolate Plateau, the territory of the demon race, for two hundred years! They burned our cities, killed our compatriots, and destroyed our civilization on the Grand Desolate Plateau!
"Right now, after destroying the Grand Desolate Plateau, they are extending their claws to the Blood Demon Sector, our last home!
"The evil human beings are secretly planning an invasion of the Blood Demon Sector!
"They are going to destroy the Blood Demon Sector like they destroyed the Grand Desolate Plateau! They are going to kill our family just like they killed the demons of the Far East Demon Sector and the Grand Desolate Plateau!
"In order to protect our loved ones, in order to defend our homeland, we must cut off this evil claw and wipe out all the evil humans!"
"Human beings are cowards who only know how to hide behind the city walls and shoot flying swords and crystal cannons!
"But we are the descendants of the Pangu clan. We are the descendants of Kuafu, Gonggong, and Nuwa!
"This is the last war. The glorious Pantheon of Demons is waiting for us in the clouds!
"Even if our physical bodies are destroyed, our souls will be reborn in the glorious Pantheon of Demons and become eternal immortals!
"Destruction, rebirth, immortality!
"Destruction, rebirth, immortality!"
Black Fire Stone pricked up his ears and tried to listen carefully.
To be honest, he did not quite understand what the old master was talking about.
He stole a glance at his companion next to him. 'Missing Ear', who had grown up in the same village as him and had been captured together with him half a year ago, was winking at him, equally confused.
Black Fire Stone chuckled. He was quite happy to know that his companion was as stupid as him.
After half a year of hard work in the military camp, Black Fire Stone, who had been born with infinite physical strength, was not dissatisfied with anything except the three lectures every day about 'evil human beings' and 'glorious Pantheon of Demons'. He felt that his head was dizzy.
He did not know what the complicated terms meant at all. He only vaguely knew that the human beings were not satisfied even though they had occupied the best territory in the world and were trying to burn his cottage, kill his wife, and butcher his children.
Black Fire Stone had never understood what 'the best territory' meant.
But right now, breathing the fresh air on the Grand Desolate Plateau, he seemed to have figured it out.
If such a good place was called 'Grand Desolate Plateau' by the human beings, what would the better places look like?
Black Fire Stone suddenly felt that uncanny fury was surging into his heart.
After half a year of hard work in the military camp, he had not forgotten what it was like to scavenge for food in the barren land.
He could not figure out why the human beings were not satisfied when they had occupied such a good place and were still thinking of occupying his poor village.
Look. The poplars here did not bite, and the cacti did not shoot out venomous thorns. What a beautiful place it was!
If he could build a village here with his brothers, he would not want to go anywhere else!
Black Fire Stone could not figure it out, and he would not think about things that he could not figure out.
He only knew that he didn't want human beings to burn down his cottage, kill his wife, and make soup out of those two ugly little bastards.
"Bring the 'scarab'!"
The master of the gold horn shrieked.
All the Black-Horn Pack Bulls were excited. The scarab was a rare animal in the military camp. Only the most hardworking and craziest black-blood warriors were qualified to enjoy it once. They did not expect that they would all have a share this time.
A round, fat, and translucent green beetle was distributed to Black Fire Stone. Black Fire Stone approached the beetle with his nose and pinched its bottom. He inhaled the scent greedily before he stuck the beetle to the back of his head.
"Chi!"
The mouthpart of the scarab pierced into the back of his head as fast as lightning, injecting tremendous neurostimulants into his brain. The high stimulation of the cranial nerves made Black Fire Stone scream. His body expanded, and his skin was falling apart. He did not feel any pain at all. He only felt indescribable pleasure!
Illusions were popping up in front of his eyes in a trance.
The barren village … the purple sky … the three bloody moons … the cries of the underfed children in the middle of the night … the warm body of his wife …
"Do you see it? The glorious Pantheon of Demons is waiting for us in the clouds!"
The master of the gold horn shouted while pointing at the sky.
"I see it!"
"I see it!"
"Moo! Moo! Moo! "
Echoes were echoing in the Brute Hammer Company.
Black Fire Stone did not see it.
Since his wife's body appeared in the illusions, he could not see anything anymore.
He bit his tongue hard and gritted his heart to kick his wife away from his head. Then, he continued staring at the gray clouds with his bloodshot eyes.
"I see it!"
"I see it! The glorious Pantheon of Demons! "
"Destruction! Rebirth! Immortality! "
His companions in the same company exclaimed one after another. Even 'One-Ear' shrieked 'I see it' and wagged his tail at him gloatingly. (To be continued.)
