Chapter 685: Demon King! Awaken! ⚔️

Published: March 8, 2025

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the black mist swirling around Tan Tan exploded completely!

A shadow emerged suddenly!

Tan Tan!

In that moment, Tan Tan seemed to grow taller, his black robe fitting him perfectly, giving off an extreme sense of elegance.

On his forehead, the strange symbol was already half-formed and shimmering with light. His features remained unchanged, but somehow, he seemed to exude an irresistible charm!

At that moment, no one found him ugly!

The headband that had been on his head had shattered at some point.

His long, glossy black hair parted down the middle, cascading straight down to his chest, revealing a clear parting line.

This head of smooth, shiny hair surprisingly gave everyone a chilling and violent feeling! Moreover, a sense of ancient revival arose spontaneously!

The sudden loud noise stunned everyone on the battlefield, causing those who were fighting fiercely to pause involuntarily!

Tan Tan stepped out slowly, his movements somewhat awkward. The first three steps felt strangely uncoordinated, so he stopped after those three steps.

Then he lowered his head, surprised as he looked at his legs. His brows furrowed slightly, and with that furrow, his two brows seemed to move back slightly.

Frowning, he looked at his body in dissatisfaction, murmuring, "So uncomfortable!"

He then extended his arms, shaking them, and a visible black mist suddenly dispersed. As he shook his arms, his long hair suddenly surged upward, like underwater plants rising violently!

Then his entire body twisted abruptly.

It was a bizarre twist.

A crackling sound, like popping beans, erupted from him, a sound that made one’s teeth ache.

Everyone who heard that sound clearly felt that Tan Tan's bones were misaligned at that moment, then scrambled out of order, and finally reassembled.

He then raised his arm, and as his hair fell back down, it remained in a smooth middle part, still carrying a sense of eeriness and desolation.

With his arms lowered, he raised his head.

At that moment, Xie Danfeng, who was beside him, distinctly felt that Tan Tan had suddenly grown taller! He was at least two inches taller than before!

For some unknown reason, Xie Danfeng suddenly felt a strange sensation rising from her heart.

This feeling terrified her to the core, her eyes stinging as if she wanted to cry, yet she didn’t know why. She simply felt a deep ache in her heart, as if it were shattered.

Tan Tan lifted his head, twisting his neck, which also produced a series of crisp cracks. He twisted left and right, then straightened his head.

His movements were quite comical, yet no one dared to laugh. In fact, as he made each movement, a chill suddenly surged in everyone's hearts.

Even Gu Duxing and Dong Wushang felt their hearts shudder in response to Tan Tan's actions, trembling violently and chillingly!

Then Tan Tan took his fourth step!

But this fourth step felt entirely different from the previous three!

This step was taken lightly, gently landing on the ground, and even the grass beneath him barely trembled! Yet, the members of the Ao Clan in front of him distinctly felt that with this footfall, the ground beneath them had cracked and turned upside down!

The surroundings were silent, but to the Ao Clan, it was as if the apocalypse was upon them: the mountains had collapsed, the waters on the earth had surged skyward, the clouds in the sky were torn apart, and it seemed like there was a large hole in the blue sky.

Before all this, a figure in black stood with long hair parted down the middle, his cold and indifferent eyes gazing down at the mortal realm, standing with hands behind his back.

Ruler of the World!

This wasn’t the kind of ruling that belonged to an emperor, but rather, a supreme dominion that genuinely controlled the entire world!

Tan Tan took his fifth step.

At the front, Ao Mengyun suddenly felt as if a majestic mountain was crashing down upon him!

For some reason, his knees buckled, and with a loud thud, he knelt down.

He knelt before Tan Tan.

Strangely, none of the members of the Ao Clan felt that there was anything inappropriate about this. It seemed perfectly natural for their young master to kneel before this person…!
