I’ll Quit Being a God - Chapter 494: The Four-Sided Cauldron

The sudden words of the Demon King prompted the nearby maid to quickly respond, “Inform Your Majesty, the Hei Yan brothers are newly initiated into the innate realm of cultivation and are not part of our demonic palace. They have been invited solely to lend their aid. Hence, seating arrangements were determined based on seniority and they can only occupy that particular position.”

The expression on the maid’s face appeared somewhat tense, unsure if she had done something wrong.

Nine Phoenix glanced over there and chuckled, “Is there something wrong with these Hei Yan brothers? They are merely three rat demons who have just entered the innate realm of cultivation… Have you perhaps noticed something?”

With that in mind, Nine Phoenix also turned his gaze towards the three rat demons seated in the corner, unleashing her Magic Eyes.

However, beneath the magic eyes, everything about the three rat demons remained unchanged. Their cultivation level was not high, and they showed no signs of any peculiarities or abnormalities.

Therefore, her curiosity grew even stronger as she looked towards the little man beside her, awaiting his response.

While Sun Yan had been continuously gazing at the Hei Yan trio, particularly the rat demon named Hei Yan, he only slowly withdrew his gaze after a while and stated, “These Hei Yan brothers… possess remarkable bearing. They have made significant progress since our last encounter.”

After saying that, Sun Yan fell silent and shifted his attention to other matters.

The surrounding maids were perplexed but dared not speak. It was Nine Phoenix who smiled gracefully and said, “My husband, since you appreciate the Hei Yan brothers so much, why not invite them to sit in the front row? It would provide an opportunity for engaging conversation and sincere connection.”

Upon hearing these words, Sun Yan fell into a brief contemplative silence.

After a moment of reflection, he shook his head and said, “No, they are fine where they are sitting.”

Sun Yan’s tone carried a hint of peculiarity. Even he couldn’t fathom why, upon hearing Nine Phoenix’s suggestion, a faint sense of unease stirred within him.

It seemed as though he was afraid of the relatively low status of the Hei Yan brothers…

With these thoughts in mind, Sun Yan once again looked towards that direction, observing the Hei Yan brothers engaged in jovial conversation with the surrounding evil demons, yet unable to detect anything out of the ordinary. The slight sense of fear that had inexplicably arisen within him earlier also dissipated into thin air.

Shaking his head, Sun Yan said, “The significance of today’s events has affected even my state of mind…”

Sun Yan attributed this to the mounting tension as the moment approached.

Upon this, Nine Phoenix smiled gently, reaching out to hold his hand, intertwining their fingers, and whispered softly, “I will accompany you every step of the way.”

At the head of the table, the Demon King and the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace shared a deeply affectionate bond as a couple.

Below, among the gathering of demons, the atmosphere was fervent, an overwhelming surge of demonic energy shaking the heavens.

However, a certain doubt had been lingering in the hearts of the demons. As the banquet unfolded, when a demon offered a toast to the Demon King, finally, fueled by the influence of alcohol, they dared to ask the very question that every sinister creature present was concerned about.

“Has the Demon King summoned us here for an important matter?” The demon who spoke had crimson hair all over his body, a fearsome and grim appearance. He was none other than the renowned Red-Haired Patriarch of the Eastern Sea, a figure of supreme power in the realm of dark arts, standing among the top individuals among the gathered demons.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this that he dares to seek direct guidance from the Demon King.

Upon hearing these words from the Red-Haired Patriarch, the demonic creatures within the Demon Palace turned their gazes towards the seated Demon King at the head, awaiting his response.

Under the scrutinizing gazes of the gathered demons, Sun Yan, after a moment of contemplation, no longer concealed his intentions and directly spoke, “Summoning all of you here today is indeed for a significant matter… and it is not an ordinary matter, but one that concerns the future of all demons in the world! In comparison, the million celestial soldiers and ten thousand celestial generals of the Heavenly Court are nothing more than petty afflictions, insignificant in the larger scheme of things.”

As soon as the young man in white spoke, his terrifying words caused a notable change in the countenance of the assembled demons.

“The ancient saying goes, ‘Calamity approaches, the four evils descend.’ This saying refers to the four dreadful and monstrous beasts of ancient legends.”

“Taotie! Qiongqi! Tao Wu! Hun Dun!”

“When the four evils emerge, heaven and earth will crumble. In a world ravaged by the four evils, calamity is inevitable!”

“You must have known these four evils,” said the young man in white with a cold gaze. “And now, these ancient four monstrous beasts are crossing the seas and mountains to come to the Arctic Skyark Palace and challenge me in battle! If my calculations are correct, they should gather at the North Sea tonight! In a short while, all of you will have the opportunity to witness the true forms of these beasts!”

The words of the Demon King caused an instant and dramatic change in the countenance of the assembled demons. Even the venerable Red-Haired Patriarch, with his extraordinary cultivation as a top-tier demon, couldn’t help but reveal a look of astonishment.

“Is the Demon King’s statement true?” The Red-Haired Patriarch looked at the young man in white with a mixture of astonishment and fear, asking, “The ancient four monstrous beasts only appear in the presence of the Earthly Catastrophe. Once they manifest, it will be an unimaginable calamity! How did the Demon King come to know the whereabouts of these four dreadful beasts?”

The ancient four monstrous beasts are the most enigmatic and terrifying entities within the Celestial Desolation Realm.

These four monstrous beasts never reveal their divine presence in front of others on ordinary days, even if one were to search the entire Celestial Desolation Realm, their traces would undoubtedly remain elusive. However, once these four monstrous beasts manifest themselves, it won’t be long before the Earthly Catastrophe descends! The entire Celestial Desolation Realm will be reduced to ashes and smoke in this catastrophe! All beings will be utterly annihilated!

For demonic cultivators who are unable to utilize the Life Deviation Technique to escape into the next epoch, no matter how high their cultivation and esteemed their status, once the Earthly Catastrophe descends, everything shall come to an end!

Therefore, these formidable figures in the demonic path, who used to dominate their respective domains, now all had their countenances greatly altered and lost their composure due to the words of the young man in white.

Even Lu Heng and his companions couldn’t help but be astonished, unexpectedly Sun Yan would release such a momentous piece of news.

Amidst the gaze of the demonic cultivators filling the hall, the young man in white at the head displayed a cold and indifferent countenance. He glanced disdainfully at the crowd of demons and pronounced, “The reason I am aware of the whereabouts of the ancient four monstrous beasts is because of these four majestic cauldrons before your very eyes!”

With that, the young man in white turned his gaze towards the four grand cauldrons positioned in the corners of the hall.

These four mysteriously originated bronze cauldrons, which have been placed in the banquet hall since the beginning of the banquet, have long piqued the curiosity of the demons.

Now Sun Yan gazes upon the great Four-Sided Cauldron, and says, “These four majestic cauldrons are not unfamiliar to you all, for they are the precious treasures that the ten witches of the Spirit Mountain have been using to suppress for generations – the revered Four-Sided Cauldron!”

“The Four-Sided Cauldron stands firmly upon the Spirit Mountain, establishing the spiritual pulse of the world, rumored to possess an elusive power. However, beyond this, there lies a hidden ability unknown to all-a capacity to suppress the four evils!”

The young man in the white attire spoke astonishing words, revealing an ancient secret, “Once the four ominous beasts appear in this world, the Four-Sided Cauldron will be set in motion. There exists a peculiar connection between the beasts and the Four-Sided Cauldron…And after I seized the four cauldrons from the possession of the ten witches of the Spirit Mountain, I have diligently performed rituals, thereby incorporating the core formation of the All Souls Blood Magic Array into the depths of the Four-Sided Cauldron.”

“When the formation is complete, not only will it absorb the essence of all blood sacrifices, but it will also strip away the primordial essence and blood of the Four Monstrous Beasts! At that time, I shall achieve the ultimate dark arts, surpassing even the ancient demons!”

“And now, as the All Souls Blood Magic Array is on the verge of activation, the ancient Four Monstrous Beasts have sensed the danger and are relentlessly crossing mountains and borders to impede my success. Hence, I have gathered you all here in advance, with the sole purpose of seeking your assistance in intercepting those ancient Four Monstrous Beasts and allowing my blood array to unlock. In doing so, my dark arts shall reclaim the pinnacle of glory from years past!”

“When the time comes, both the Heavenly Court and Supreme God Lu Ai will be insignificant!”
