Chapter 474: The Ceremony Begins

"Whew-" Standing in the middle of several Legendary-level fire creatures, Illidan let out a sigh of relief.

Although his sudden appearance as a legendary flame demon was very eye-catching, as Illidan had guessed, this gathering was a large number of demons and flame creatures gathered from a large area around them, and they rarely knew each other.

Because of this, even though Illidan disguised as a legendary-level fire demon is rare and has a high status, no demon has noticed that something is wrong. And to Illidan's surprise, there were no demons or fire creatures coming to talk to him, and everyone looked solemn.

But that's exactly what Illidan meant. He was blind to the situation in the lava country, and if someone really came to talk to him, it was estimated that he would be exposed in a short time. Or just hide among a few legendary flame creatures, quietly waiting for this mysterious ritual to kick in.

Although he had already observed it with his mental power when he was lurking in the distance, it was only after landing on the black rocky island in the center of the magma lake that Illidan could fully see what was on it.

Demons or fire creatures that can land on the Black Rock Island are all powerful and high-status. Compared to the creatures floating on the lava lake below, they can be called the elite of the lava country.

And among these elites, there is also a distinction according to strength. Illidan is now on the outskirts of the Lava Realm. Therefore, the strongest person who appears here is also the legendary level. And a handful of legendary-level powerhouses, including Illidan, are in the very center of the Black Rock Island.

In front of Illidan and the other demons, there is a pyramid-like building. But it's different from the pyramids. The color of this building is not only black like that of the island. And the top of the tower is not pointed. It's a platform.

On this platform, there is a small thing that looks like a signal transmission tower.

While Illidan was wondering what this strange structure was for, the demons and fire creatures that were still entering the magma lake were gone. Come to think of it, all the intelligent beings in the surrounding area have gathered in this small magma lake.

It should be added here that Illidan has traveled all the way deep into the lava realm, although for this inexplicable gathering, he has not seen a single intelligent creature like a demon or a fire spirit for a long time. But it's not like you haven't even encountered a monster.

It's just that those monsters who don't have intelligence are obviously unable to communicate, so Illidan chooses to ignore them. Not only Illidan, but in fact, the demons of the entire demon world do not regard monsters as a kind that can be communicated—in this regard, the status of monsters is not even as good as the monsters of Eslaze.

The Warcraft of the Esslaze Continent will gradually have high intelligence after their level is higher, and many high-level Warcraft will even make some trades with other races. Therefore, in Eslaze, Warcraft is actually regarded as a race. It is even said that the dragon clan was originally attributed to Warcraft.

When there was no longer a Demon Emperor emissary to lead the team into the magma lake, the so-called ritual that Illidan had been waiting for for a long time finally began.

Those Demon Emperor Emissaries of different levels all came to the Black Rock Island and stood one level higher than a few Legendary-level powerhouses. Illidan was a little surprised, wasn't this ranking based on strength?

But then. Illidan knew what to do, and although the strength of the Demon Emperor Envoys with different appearances did not reach the legendary level, they stood in the innermost circle.

In silence. Only the occasional explosion of lava in the lava lake makes a slight sound. And in this solemn environment, Illidan was watching in amazement as the Demon Emperor envoys harmed themselves.

Without the slightest warning, the Demon Emperor envoys who stood closest to the strange building directly submerged the weapons in their hands or simply claws into their chests.

With the sound of blood gushing, the blood of these Demon Emperor emissaries sprayed on the strange structure where the upper part was a signal transmission tower and the lower part was half a black pyramid. Even the blood that later flowed on the ground strangely meandered to the strange building.

And as soon as the blood reached the strange structure, it quickly disappeared. The strange building, which was originally black like the island, began to glow red with the blood offering.

There was a hint of blood in this red glow, but it wasn't exactly blood-red. From this, Illidan felt more of a fiery aura like the surrounding lava lake. It's as if just some blood is sprayed on it, and the original black stone building becomes lava.

With the loss of a large amount of blood, those Demon Emperor envoys all fell to the ground one by one. Soon, the blood on their bodies was drained. At the end of the day, it wasn't even their own bloodletting, but the blood in their bodies being pulled and gushing out.

Draining the blood, even with the life force of the demon will not survive. In other words, these demons, known as the Demon Emperor's Emissaries, died in front of everyone. The result was a strange building in the center of the island, which had now turned a deep, dazzling red.

What's next? Illidan was a little confused. Originally, he thought that this so-called ritual would be led by those Demon Emperor envoys, and he only needed to do it. But now those Demon Emperor envoys are leading, but the example they are doing is suicide. Could it be that this ritual is a collective suicide to sacrifice the blood of the Flame Demon Emperor to promote its awakening?

Illidan felt a little chilly in his body, but quickly dismissed the idea. Most of the creatures floating on the lava lake were bloodless fire elves and lava monsters, and the ritual should not be a blood sacrifice.

Illidan focused his attention on the few Legendary-level powerhouses near him. Next, let's see what they will do, and draw a scoop according to the gourd.

Didn't disappoint Illidan. After those Demon Emperor envoys bled to death one after another, the legendary-level powerhouses present made a move. To Illidan's relief, they didn't act as self-harming.

One by one, the legendary flame spirits, lava monsters, or fire spirits began to send a large amount of energy towards the strange buildings that emitted red light.

It's that simple! Although the power transmitted by those legendary-level creatures was pure fire-based energy, Illidan was naturally able to fully possess the power of the Fire Demon since he had become a Fire Demon. Almost at the same time as the other legendary creatures, Illidan also began to extract the amount of power from this body and channel it into the strange building.

And after these legendary-level powerhouses who set an example, the rest of the demons and fire creatures also began to transmit energy from the inside to the outside, batch by batch, towards the strange building in the center of the island.

Illidan somewhat understood as he watched the large amount of pure flame energy gathered condensed into a small line of fire from the top of the signal transmission tower above and flew towards the south under the transformation of the strange building.

It turns out that this strange building is an energy-harvesting device! Collect energy, collect energy, why are you so mysterious, and those so-called Demon Emperor Messengers commit suicide Demons are indeed demons.

As the large number of demons and flame creatures present continued to channel the pure flame energy in their bodies into the energy collector, the strange structure gradually changed from just glowing red to solid lava.

And at the top of the signal transmission tower, a small line of fire condensed by a large amount of flame energy was also flying towards the south in an endless stream.

Illidan was ostensibly trying his best to pump energy into the energy harvester like the other demons, but he was actually thinking about something else.

These energies should be supplied to the Flame Demon Emperor who is about to awaken from his slumber for his full recovery, right? All the beings in the demon world are considered enemies, so should you do some damage from them? (To be continued......)
