All possessing the aura of a peak Archdevil, extremely close to the Ancient Devil stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of them were made out of pure fire and water, looking like a walking erupting volcano and a turbulent ocean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides them stood a golem-looking creature that carried a mountain on its shoulders, as well as what seemed to be a living tornado.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four beings. Four elements. Each representing one of the native Elemental races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, all four of these beings had gathered together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stood in front of a statue, staring at it with piety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It depicted a large humanoid figure. Though its appearance was indistinct, making it impossible to capture its true identity, the majesty in this figure could be imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four Elementals, which were usually arrogant and had their own grievances, were now silent, as if meeting the deity they worshiped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of them reached into their body and dove into their core, pulling out a mountain of precious ores and other rare resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demonic energy in the area surged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, it had become denser than even the core area of Hollow City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just taking a breath here was enough to elevate a Devil’s strength. A single breath could turn a Young Devil into a Lesser Devil, and a Lesser Devil into a True Devil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, none of the four Elementals even blinked their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held the materials and glanced at each other until they finally spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time!\", they let out a low shout in unison, throwing all the materials towards the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue, which seemed to be made out of stone and was a mere ordinary thing, actually showed a reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening its mouth, it transformed into a black hole and began devouring those resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glimmer of light shone across its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more resources were swallowed, the light deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until suddenly, a thunderous crash rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not from the stone statue or from the Elementals, but from the Demon World itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, it was as if something had broken, ruining the delicate balance of the 173rd Demon Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire world, composed of countless continents, demi-planes, and even worlds, began to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire 173rd Layer of the Demon World was affected!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>--\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another place, Liora did not know the true cause of this change, though she could, of course, guess something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, she had unknowingly soared into the sky and lowered her head, staring down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skin on her forehead had parted, and a golden eye had materialized between her eyebrows, maintaining an aloof gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eye, coupled with her own strength and the concept of Gaze she had fused, allowed Liora to take a glimpse of the entire Demon Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As such, it didn’t take her long to realize the source behind the Demon Layer’s shaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four forbidden areas... had awakened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or to be more accurate, Liora noticed that something had awakened in their depths!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It caused both the forbidden areas and even the Demon Layer to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora was originally unable to pinpoint exactly what that \"something\" was. But as a powerful demonic aura surged towards the sky and various phenomena formed, she soon realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These seem to be four...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Limbs?\", Liora couldn’t help but whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden eye on her forehead reflected the awakened beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon a closer look, one would discover that they looked exactly like four limbs, though giant enough to cover a continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two arms and two legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they were only torn apart body parts, they seemed extremely majestic, as if each of them could shatter entire worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Liora recognized them, the four limbs moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their muscles tensed, and demonic energy erupted as they struck towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legs kicked, while the arms turned into claws and attacked like beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was little obstruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following a thunderous crash, the four formations, which had trapped the Elementals for an unknown number of years, were destroyed. Upon contact, they were erased from existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freed of their constraints, the four limbs did not linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legs fled into the distance, while the hands crawled along the ground, crossing the Demon Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their escape routes seemed random, but if one paid closer attention, they would realize that they overlapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From start to finish, the entire process lasted only a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the entire Demon Layer had been plunged into chaos in this short amount of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elementals poured out of the forbidden areas and raided the nearby cities, while the surging demonic energy alone was enough to annihilate anyone below the True Devil stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liora also sensed that outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was pondering what to do, she suddenly lifted her head and looked towards the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary Devils, there was nothing above. But for Greater Devils, there was a majestic city floating there, being the true central hub of the 173rd Demon Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hollow City had remained unchanged for countless years. Yet, today, just like the Demon Layer, it also started to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not because of the earlier impact, but because several Archdevil beings had been alerted by the changes outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They appeared in the sky, their gazes piercing through space and landing on the four limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemingly guessed something and moved at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soaring into the air, their auras gathered as they prepared to rush down and stop the four limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, another change occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not in the Demon Layer, but in Hollow City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfathomable auras emerged from the residences of lone Devils and even famous organizations. They struck at the Archdevils in the sky, catching them by surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black mist began to spread at the same time, devouring thousands of building blocks within moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Archdevils had little time to react. By the time they recovered, part of Hollow City was destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How dare you? How dare you betray Hollow City?\", one of them couldn’t help but shout in fury, but their voice was soon overrun by the battle sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>",1038,"2026-06-03T10:39:03.948Z",1,"novelbin.me","78fc8b22dde14f47036b3baa6955886464e6ff5dd573bb3a520f5eb12b7069e8","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-461","evolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-chapter-459",482,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fevolution-from-little-devil-to-devil-empress-cover.jpg"]
