Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1016 - 278: The Five Great Demon Gods—Refusal Is Invalid

Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

The Celestial Domain Node Tower shot out a jet-black beam, connecting with the blood-red waning moon suspended in the sky.

The Earth Thought Evil Spirit folded its arms, hovering in mid-air, its back connected to the Evil Eye.

After the deep connection of the node network, sharp bone spikes like horns rose around the tower platform, pointing straight at the sky. The tower entered full operation mode.

In an instant, the thought unlocked the authority.

The Blood Pattern Demon God was the first to tear through the sky and appear. The firmament was instantly covered with web-like cracks, and scalding blood gushed down like a waterfall from the crevices in the sky, coalescing on the left side of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit into a towering figure crowned with thorns. The dark red eyes slowly opened, the air sizzled with scorching sounds, and the invisible suppression stacked layer upon layer.

"Boss Earth Thought." Blood Pattern looked at the Earth Thought Evil Spirit floating in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Earth Thought Evil Spirit nodded slightly and looked up at the sky.

The sky cracked open again with an ink-black fissure, gray-black miasma surged out with a life of its own, weaving a shadowy image in the air. A pitch-black heart throbbed with an eerie rhythm, spewing purple poisonous mist with each beat, eventually gathering all the mist towards the tower like swallows returning home, and coalescing into a projected figure on the right side of Earth Thought Evil Spirit.

"Boss Earth Thought." Fuxin grinned and said.

At this moment, a dense flapping noise came from the sky, as if bats were flapping their wings simultaneously. The sky ruptured with a massive gap, a giant mouth filled with interlocking fangs tore through the sky, and ghostly green venom poured down like torrential rain, finally forming a figure on the tower platform.

It was Ghost Teeth that arrived.

The final figure appeared at this moment, a huge black shadow slowly descending from the clouds.

Jagged spine bone spikes pierced through the clouds, each spike engraved with Black Tide magic patterns, flickering with a cold, dim light.

Its projection did not descend slowly but plunged straight down from the clouds like a giant sword piercing the heavens and earth.

The projection body was forged from the shattered weapons of countless defeated soldiers, piling up like mountains, each vertebral segment a rusted peerless fierce weapon, continuously shrinking during the fall.

When Iron Spine's projection appeared beside, the four great Evil Spirit projections and the true body of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit gathered atop the tower.

Boom!

The ultimate evil aura spread out.

Jet-black beams, blood-red waning moon, corrosive miasma, serrated fangs, rusted fierce weapons, surging Black Tide, evil aura spreading and intertwining, painting a doomsday-like horrific canvas, causing the entire land of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range to tremble.

Overlooking the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, the crimson eyes of the four great Evil Spirits reflected the Shattering, a world full of scars and holes.

This battle-ravaged battlefield evidently stands as proof of the unceasing warfare between the Earth Thought Evil Spirit and the Player Clan.

Ghost Teeth suddenly widened its mouth full of fangs at this moment, and mused:

"Do you think... we can go far in the Monster World?"

Hearing this, a slight glimmer flickered in the cold eyes under the shadow of the thorn crown, as the scarlet robe of Blood Pattern Evil Spirit billowed:

"My goal is kingship. I always believe I can reach that day."

"Heh, there are countless Evil Spirit warriors aiming to become kings, but how many can truly reach such heights? Most turn to bones amidst endless warfare, merging into the nutrients of the Black Tide. Moreover, becoming a king requires more than just strength; you must prove you're excellent enough to control everything."

"I will succeed." Blood Pattern did not refute but firmly held his view, then turned to the questioning Ghost Teeth:

"And you, what is your goal?"

"Actually, my goal is also kingship. Though knowing the path ahead is strewn with corpses, each step could lead to eternal doom..." With that, Ghost Teeth raised its hand to point at the boundary stone's phantom behind:

"I come from the lineage of the boundary stone. I've seen the names of failures engraved on the Black Tide Boundary Stone. It is because of this that I long even more to reach the end."

At this moment, the voice of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit resounded: 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"How about us... the Five Great Demon Gods?"

The four great Evil Spirits turned their heads simultaneously.

Earth Thought Evil Spirit stood proudly at the peak of the tower, the Evil Eye behind him blooming with a ghostly light.

His figure appeared exceptionally tall under the reflection of the blood-red waning moon, his pitch-black battle robe rustling in the surging Black Tide, with no hint of jest in his eyes.

"Boss Earth Thought, isn't your ambition too arrogant? Didn't your Evil Eye tell you that the Monster World is most afraid of excessive sharpness?"

"I think Earth Thought can reach that day." Before the Earth Thought Evil Spirit could respond, the voice of the Evil Eye sounded first.

At once, the four great Evil Spirits fell silent.

"To either ascend to the peak or become bones, in this Monster World, even kings have moments of powerlessness. Only by holding the authority of a Demon God can one shatter limitations and define their own laws!"

The pupils of Blood Pattern suddenly contracted.

In his eyes, the figure of Earth Thought Evil Spirit overlapped with the memory of a Demon God sitting high on a throne, as shown by his mother tribe.

His gaze shifted from surprise to a burning intensity, a defiant smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Iron Spine remained silent as a mountain, but the myriad fierce weapons on its back emitted a deafening clang, the rusted blades reflecting the domineering figure of the Earth Thought Evil Spirit, as if witnessing a new era's proclamation.

In the eyes of the four great Evil Spirits, the figure of Earth Thought Evil Spirit radiated strong light.

What was displayed was not only the posture of leadership but also the stance of a pioneer demonstrating to followers the ambition to reach the highest throne.

"Forget it, don't struggle, let's push forward in unison."

"Been hungry for so long, time to have a feast, let's eat."

Earth Thought Evil Spirit did not speak, slowly raising his right hand, drawing five dark arcs under the blood-red waning moon.
