Only a few seconds later, the earth had recovered completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it did, the object responsible for the destruction was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, it was not a falling item or even a comet, but rather an unknown creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a humanoid shape but a body completely composed of wind elements, he looked like a puppet made of wind at best and a puff of air at worst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it! The teleportation array must have malfunctioned! Instead of teleporting me to a safe place, it left me hanging in the sky.\", he cursed in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it were not for me reacting quickly and activating my ability, such a fall would have killed me on the spot.\", he complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing a sigh of relief, he patted his body, cleaning himself of the remains of the scattered earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he rose to his feet and observed his surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The large number of gathered fire elements and the blazing flames immediately caught his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thing that interested him the most, though, was the extreme temperatures that made it impossible for most creatures to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Gale Devil had reached the peak of the Lesser Devil stage, he couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire overcame wind after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a being created of wind elements, the blazing flames of this valley directly \"countered\" him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I just leave a dangerous place just to enter another?\", the Gale Devil couldn’t help but mutter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously, he recalled the place of inheritance he had just exited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t the elders of the family claim that taking the test was absolutely safe? What is going on? Why did I end up here?\", he wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his doubts, though, his movements were not slow. He reached into the bag that was hanging on the left side of his waist and took a green lamp out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thought of his, the lamp suddenly lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rather surprising thing soon occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the dimly lit lamp, the raging elements in the surroundings were suppressed and stopped rioting, while the temperature around the Gale Devil dropped rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fortunately, I obtained this thing from that place. Otherwise, it would have been dangerous.\", the Gale Devil patted his chest and expressed his relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he held the lamp tightly and was about to take a tour of this place, planning to find a way to return home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, his movements halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he raised his head and was about to take a step forward, he discovered that hundreds of creatures had unknowingly appeared and formed a circle around him, as if they were ready to besiege him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These creatures were all made of flames that resembled those of the valley, while the eyes behind their squirming faces flashed with a crimson color, like a predator looking at its prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the Gale Devil couldn’t help but shudder, while his heartbeat sped up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being surrounded by hundreds of unknown creatures was already terrifying enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But worst of all was the way in which they were staring at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murderous intent, bloodthirstiness, and most of all, hunger—these were the emotions that the Gale Devil could see hidden within their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And without exception, the emotions were all directed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the Gale Devil had the illusion that these beings would directly pounce on him the very next second and tear him apart before devouring his remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively had the urge to shut his eyes and wait for incoming death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as he forced himself to keep them open, he discovered something intriguing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these creatures were surrounding him tightly, they didn’t choose to attack him. Instead, they stared at him intently from a distance, as if something was stopping them from approaching him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting to give it a try, the Gale Devil took a step to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before his foot could even so much as land on the ground, many traces of murderous intent shot in his direction as several consciousnesses locked onto his figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gale Devil could be certain that if he took another step, many attacks would be launched in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing this, he immediately stopped his actions and took his foot back. The sharp murderous intent instantly dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this didn’t make the Gale Devil’s situation any better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still trapped in this place, still surrounded by these unknown beings made purely out of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when he was trying to think of a way to get out of his current predicament, he noticed a sudden movement among the unknown creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, a few of them turned around and stared behind their backs, while only a few seconds later, the others also followed them and looked in that general direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gale Devil couldn’t understand: what was it that interested these bloodthirsty creatures so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unknown if this was a good or a bad thing, but he soon found out the reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny black dot flashed on the horizon and grew closer at an incredible speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanying it were many revolving flames, as well as a rising temperature that even the green lamp could hardly dispel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this \"black dot\" landed, its appearance was unveiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked roughly the same as the creatures around the Gale Devil, except that its stature was many times bigger, while the same was true for its strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, the Gale Devil didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he sensed a different kind of gaze within the pair of fiery eyes staring in his direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, he felt as if his entire being had become see-through, as every last bit of his secrets was revealed to the other person.\u003C\u002Fp>",1134,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.947Z",1,"novelbin.me","ecab884dac1a2d2f8858366c3bea0fb054547ea26bfd2f10c6cca73dead41611","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-240","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-238",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
