“轟隆隆……”

天際之上，一道巨臉睜開雙眼，怒吼聲中，無盡的魔氣如同水般涌，伴隨著驚人的雷聲轟鳴。虛空為之栗，恐怖的氣息如同風暴般橫掃，仿佛要將這片天地撕裂。

“吼！”

巨臉怒吼，天地仿佛在這一刻為之失，法則之力在虛空中重組，化為一柄百丈長的魔刀，帶著毀天滅地的力量，徑直斬下。

刀如練，切割虛空，天地的裂因此而生，仿佛要將天地一分為二。這一刀，氣勢如虹，威力無邊，即便是人族的三境強者，也難以抵擋。

錦繡明輝尚未反應，魔刀已經斬在了他的上。大地為之震，仿佛發生了強烈的地震，裂痕蔓延，塵土飛揚。

當塵埃落定，魔刀貫穿而下，大地被割裂出一道深不見底的口子。然而，錦繡明輝卻依舊安然無恙地站在原地。

“這……這怎麼可能？”魔一目中出難以置信，全魔氣涌，如同風暴般洶涌。

剛剛那一刀，是他的殺手锏，即便是人族的三境強者，也難以抵擋。然而，這個人類，卻像是一尊不可撼的磐石，毫無損傷。

魔一心神震，難以置信地看著錦繡明輝，心中滿是疑。而錦繡明輝也是一驚，他未曾料到自己憑借霸，竟然能夠免疫如此強大的法則攻擊。

他深知，霸是他底牌中的底牌，免疫法則攻擊的威力，遠超他的想象。而這，讓他對未來的戰斗，充滿了信心。

魔一沒有停下，再度攻來。他張口噴出一道黑焰，這是九幽魔焰，能焚盡一切，毀滅元神，是極其可怕的法則攻擊。

錦繡明輝沒有出手，他想要再次驗證霸的威力。他深知，自己的底牌眾多，即使真的被對方秒殺，也有替死傀儡可以讓他復活。

黑焰如水般涌來，烈火焚，錦繡明輝卻毫無所覺。他的仿佛擁有無盡的承力，任憑火焰如何燃燒，都毫無損。

“這……這怎麼可能？”魔一震驚無比，他加大了火勢，但錦繡明輝依舊無恙。他終于意識到，自己遇到了一個真正的強者。

“你是誰？”魔一終于停下攻擊，目死死地盯著錦繡明輝。

錦繡明輝沒有回答，只是靜靜地站在原地。他知道，自己不能暴太多，否則會引發不必要的麻煩。

魔一沉默片刻，突然跪下，聲音抖：“魔主，魔一冒犯了您，請您責罰。”

他的聲音中充滿了狂熱和敬畏，仿佛看到了救世主一般。

錦繡明輝目一凝，他沒想到這個魔一竟然將自己認了魔主。這讓他心中一，或許這是一個可以利用的機會。

“起來吧。”錦繡明輝淡淡地說。

“魔主，這些年我們一直在等您歸來的那一天。”魔一跪在地上，聲音悲壯。

錦繡明輝沉默，他不知道該說什麼。他只知道，這個魔一，還有他背后的都煞十二魔將，對他來說，是一個巨大的患。

“魔主，城中還有十一位魔將，請您稍等，我立刻他們來迎接您。”魔一抬起頭來，眼中閃爍著期待的芒。

錦繡明輝心頭一震，他沒想到這個城池中還有如此多的強者。他深知，若是不小心，自己可能會陷絕境。

他沉片刻，開口道：“起來吧，告訴我，都煞十二魔將現在的況。”

…………

夜幕降臨，城中一番喧囂過后，終于恢復了平靜。魔一帶著錦繡明輝來到了都煞十二魔將的居所。

Chapter 17: The Demon King's Regal Return

In the heart of the desolate land, above the ancient ruins, a colossal, misshapen face opened its eyes, and a monstrous roar echoed across the realm. The world trembled as an ocean of dark magic surged forth, accompanied by the crashing sound of thunder like a great storm.

"A吼！"

The face bellowed, and the laws of the universe seemed to crumble, reforming into a hundred-foot-long blade of　infernal magic that descended with the power to split the heavens and earth. The blade, shimmering with frosty light, sliced through the void with such force that it as if it were to cleave the cosmos in two.

This blade, a demonstration of immense power, would have been enough to decimate even an immortal among the human race. Yet, before it could strike, a human figure, tranquil and unflappable, stood in its path.

With a resounding boom, the blade intersected the air where the human stood, causing the ground to tremble as if an earthquake of epic proportions had struck. The earth was rent open, a chasm stretching from horizon to horizon. Yet, the human figure remained untouched, standing as if it were carved from the very bedrock of time.

The demon's face, now小 to the size of a normal man, took the form of an unsettling creature. It stood a foot tall, with twin horns atop its head, a lion's face, and a human body. It exuded an aura of potent magic. It was known as Demon One, an apostle of the great Demon King Nereus and the guardian of the true demon's legacy.

"An insignificant mortal, daring to intrude into my master's realm! You are truly devoid of sense!" Demon One spoke in a cold, emotionless tone, resonating through the heavens.

Yet, when the dust settled, the ground beneath the figure remained unscathed. The human was as if made of a substance impervious to the blade's might—a fact that left Demon One in shock and disbelief.

The figure, known as Zhong Qing, felt a shiver run down his spine. The blade had been powerful, almost as if it could carve a path through the very essence of reality. However, it had been the霸 within him that had shielded him from harm—a shield he had only recently come to understand fully.

Demon One, unable to comprehend the phenomenon, charged forth again, spewing forth a black flame that could consume all and annihilate the soul. This was the Nine Hells brand of magic, a fearsome force that could burn away everything it touched.

Zhong Qing did not respond, instead using his innermost reserve to unleash his Zero Sealing technique. It transformed into a hundred-foot tall true demon, a sight that was jarring and awe-inspiring.

The sight of a tiny ant striking at an elephant-like creature left Demon One's eyes widening in shock. His power was palpable, overwhelming the very air around him.

With Zero Sealing unleashed, Demon One's eyes widened once more. "Demon King!"

"Demon King, you have returned!"

"Forgive me, Demon King, for I have sinned by attacking you. Please punish me!"

He fell to his knees, his eyes filled with reverence and fear. The figure before him was not just a human, but a being of legend, aDemon King whose return was the stuff of legend and dreams.

Zhong Qing was taken aback. He had never expected to be mistaken for the Demon King. Yet, the sincerity in Demon One's eyes was undeniable. He appeared to be genuine in his belief that Zhong Qing was not just a human, but the great Demon King who had once wielded the power of the cosmos.

Upon seeing this, Zhong Qing realized that he might as well play along. After all, having a band of followers could be advantageous, especially when dealing with a potential threat like the Demon King's legacy.

"Rise, Demon One," Zhong Qing said. "Tell me, how many followers do you have in this city?"

Even though his霸body could resist magic, he knew that Demon One, who was already beyond the thirdsphere, was a formidable opponent. If he were to be surrounded by the other eleven Demon Generals, he would be in a difficult situation.

"Sir, since the great Demon King was attacked by the gods and was reborn as a mortal, our main camp was wiped out by the godslings. The billions of demons are now only a dozen of us, the Twelve Demon Generals of Do Sha."

"As you wait, let me call them to greet our Demon King."

With these words, Demon One knelt and began to summon the other Demon Generals. Zhong Qing could feel his heart race as he realized the gravity of the situation. If he were to underestimate these powerful beings, he might find himself in grave danger.

In the end, he would have to be extremely cautious, for the Demon King's legacy was not to be trifled with lightly.
