“Alert! Alert!”
“Twenty meters ahead, strong fluctuations detected! Possible monster awakening!!”
They didn't have time to be shocked.
Everyone's gaze turned to the front simultaneously.
Even Medusa and the Beast King were captivated by this sudden development.
In the ruins ahead.
A faint golden light bloomed!
Accompanied by a golden ripple that rippled outwards from the ruins like water waves, the collapsed ceiling, the leaning support columns, the stones, and debris… all rose into the air.
Another golden ripple emanated.
Before the astonished eyes of the knights and their beasts.
All these countless broken stones and massive slabs vanished in an instant!
“No!”
Chu Guang's eyes narrowed.
His eyesight, dozens of times greater than the average person, allowed him to see clearly.
Those stones had clearly been pulverized by the golden ripples!
“What a terrifying power…” Chu Guang felt a sense of foreboding.
In the spotlight.
A figure emerged from the ruins.
At the same time.
The knights' watches beeped again!
Moreover.
To the knights' astonishment, Zeiya's voice was filled with urgency this time!
“Please note, please note!!”
“The target's current state is abnormal!”
“I can't detect its power fluctuations! I can't determine its specific power level!”
“Unable to detect? How is that possible…”
Now.
Chu Guang was also a little panicked.
There were indeed times when Zeiya couldn't detect fluctuations.
One was when the monsters had fully awakened, with an awakening level of 100%!
Fully awakened monsters could perfectly control their energy fluctuations.
When fully suppressed, they were indistinguishable from ordinary humans.
It was difficult to detect their anomalies without close examination.
The second possibility… was a being that was too powerful, beyond Zeiya's detection range!
Such monsters existed, but their appearances in history could be counted on one hand!
But no matter what the situation was, it was a disaster for them now!
Just as Chu Guang was worried.
What happened next made the knights aware of the mysterious being's awakening level…
“Whoosh!”
It was as if someone had turned off the lights. The whole world darkened in that instant!
Just when some were in panic.
Blood-red light poured down from the sky.
Some couldn't help but look up, their expressions filled with shock and fear!
They saw.
A blood-red moon had somehow covered the previous silver moon and the parallel sun.
It emitted an ominous glow!
That boundless, domineering, and noble power made everyone feel suffocated!
“Ah!!”
It seemed as if he couldn't withstand the pressure.
Zhang Hu, whose mind was already unstable, was forced out of his transformation state.
The white-dominant belt fell to the side!
“This… this is…”
Chu Guang rushed forward to check, finding that he was fine, and looked up again.
His eyesight was at its peak, but he couldn't see the end of the blood-red anomaly!
Chu Guang immediately looked horrified.
He even doubted.
This blood-red moon anomaly wasn't just covering the entire Donghai City… it might even have reached the surrounding provinces!
The other knights were even more helpless.
The Beast King's projection of the Moon Eye phantom onto the moon was already terrifying enough, but now, this suddenly appearing mysterious monster, its awakening caused a blood moon that forcefully obscured the Moon Eye phenomenon, and even the sun was nowhere to be seen!
This meant.
The other's power was far greater and more terrifying than the Beast King's!
There was no doubt.
This unknown awakened monster… was definitely the King of Monsters! It could only be the King of Monsters!
…
…
The anomaly of the monster's awakening was most severe at the epicenter and gradually weakened with distance.
At this moment.
In another city.
The pervasive blood-red light had become very faint, but the blood-red moon in the sky was still clear!
Countless people looked up at this eerie moon, so different from any they had ever seen before.
Some cried out in alarm, some were restless, and some hid in the dark, calling out to gods.
Among the crowd.
A young woman in a black robe with a hood behind her had a moving expression.
“Plop!”
Suddenly.
A small black and red bat suddenly emerged from her hood. It flapped its wings violently and excitedly said, “Your Majesty! This is the King's anomaly, isn't it? Isn't it?!”
“Little Bat, did you sense it too…”
The woman in black reached out to catch the bat, and looked up at the blood moon again.
A touch of excitement and anticipation appeared in her bright eyes.
“Brother… could it be you?!?!?!”
…
…
The knights were initially stunned by the anomaly of the mysterious King of Monsters' awakening.
But what they didn't expect was.
When the mysterious monster, who looked like a handsome student, appeared before them, the Beast King suddenly roared.
Its scarlet eyes were fixed on the newly emerged unknown King of Monsters!
At the same time.
The knights also heard the Beast King's two words, uttered with gritted teeth:
“Demon Emperor… Demon Emperor!!!”
Not only that.
Chu Guang also noticed that the Medusa Beast, kneeling before the Beast King, was also behaving poorly… its blue-violet body was actually trembling!
“Demon Emperor… such a noble and domineering name… and such intimidating power…”
“Who… who is it?!”
Chu Guang suddenly felt a chill.
Just by appearing, it could make a King of Monsters excited and a high-level monster fear…
In his opinion.
This second King of Monsters, called the “Demon Emperor,” was absolutely terrifying beyond imagination!!
“Hm?”
When he heard the familiar name, Jiang Li also looked towards the other.
Immediately.
Jiang Li's expression was strange.
Even without the gray armor.
But that guy…
No matter how he looked at it, he was the Beast King who had just been blasted apart by him in the dungeon!
And.
The one kneeling on the ground, trembling, wasn't it the Medusa Beast?
“No way, is this really a coincidence?”
Jiang Li was baffled.
The monster that caused him to activate the system was the Beast King.
And the main enemy he encountered in the dungeon was also the Beast King… to call this a coincidence was a little too coincidental, wasn't it?
“Or…”
“Did the system deliberately choose the ‘Original King’ dungeon I experienced before?”
Jiang Li pondered for a moment, then shook his head and dismissed these chaotic thoughts.
Although he was facing this powerful and troublesome opponent from the dungeon again, and didn't have any transformation devices on him, Jiang Li was not worried.
Because he could feel.
The Beast King's current power was at most one-tenth of what it was in the dungeon, and even that was before it absorbed the forest people… Well, now it seems to have increased slightly because it's so angry, maybe about… two-tenths?
“Please note!”
“The power fluctuations of the ‘Legendary Beast King’ are rising!”
“Detecting its awakening level is increasing!”
At the same time that Jiang Li sensed the Beast King's power increasing, Zeiya's reminder came through the knights' watches.
For this new anomaly.
The knights wanted to be shocked, but it seemed that they had become numb to it.
They watched as the Beast King's aura became more and more terrifying!
“Power increase…”
While he knew it was inappropriate to think this way at this time and place, Chu Guang couldn't help but think to himself:
What exactly did this mysterious “Demon Emperor” do.
That would make the Beast King so angry, even to the point of forcibly breaking out of his limits?!
