Evolution: From Little Devil to Devil Empress

Chapter 758: 17th Demon Layer & Not Daring to Speak Out

The noise caused by the Demon Layer’s appearance attracted the attention of the other Rulers.

Most of them were merely Archdevils and had little understanding of what was going on. At most, they thought that another Ruler had created a Demon Layer and were thus not alarmed.

Only those with powerful backgrounds and the Ancient Devils among them understood what was happening.

“Sure enough, that person has also decided to take the path of establishing a Demon Layer.”

“It’s no wonder. Although her power rivals and even surpasses that of ordinary Primordial Devils, that is based on her practice of foreign power systems. She is only at the Antiquity stage. Only the authority of a Ruler can help her progress quickly.”

Several consciousnesses collided in the void as the owners communicated.

Few people were surprised by Liora’s decision.

Just as that person said, it was only natural that she would do so.

However, another matter soon emerged.

“What do you think the placement of her Demon Layer will be? Can she get into the top thirty at once?” one of them asked.

“It should be possible. If I’m not wrong, she must have used the Holy Land Demon Lord’s layer as the main material. If nothing goes wrong, she should have a chance to enter the top thirty.”

As they spoke, their voices were filled with emotion.

Top thirty.

This was a position they would never reach in their entire lives.

After all, the competition among Rulers was particularly fierce.

If one wanted to improve the ranking of their Demon Layer and strengthen their Ruler authority, they not only had to make their Demon Layer more powerful, but also had to be individually strong.

Even the Holy Land Demon Lord, a formidable Primordial Devil, was merely ranked 37th, much less them, who were far weaker than them.

While the Ancient Devils were communicating, Liora’s Demon Layer continued its descent.

From the top of the Demon World, where the weakest Demon Layers existed, it quickly reached the bottom.

It rushed past the area where the 173rd Demon Layer had once stood, reaching 100th place in the blink of an eye.

Its descent was unstoppable.

80th place.

50th place.

40th place.

Until then, all the Ancient Devils had calm expressions. They had witnessed Liora’s strength firsthand and weren’t surprised by this phenomenon.

Yet when her Demon Layer reached 35th place and still showed no signs of stopping, their eyes flashed with both expectation and jealousy.

“Sure enough, she must have reached the top thirty. If I’m not wrong, the last person whose Demon Layer was this powerful upon its creation must be the Slaughter Demon Lord.”

“Twelve billion years ago, he reached 28th place at once.”

Hearing this name, the originally still consciousnesses showed a slight ripple, mirroring the emotions of their owners.

Slaughter Demon Lord.

This was a Demon Lord who had long transcended, taking the initiative to give up his status as a Ruler and become a free Devil.

Even so, no one dared to underestimate him.

He hadn’t given up his authority because he was weak. Rather, he simply was too powerful, so powerful that the status of a Ruler could no longer provide him with any help.

To be mentioned in the same breath as him was already an achievement for Liora.

Many Ancient Devils wanted to argue. In their opinion, even though Liora was strong, she could not be compared to the Slaughter Demon Lord.

Yet soon, their words remained stuck in their throats.

After the seven continents passed the 30th Demon Layer, they still did not stop and continued their descent.

29th place.

25th place.

20th place.

It was only when they reached the 17th Demon Layer that they finally stopped.

After floating around it for a few seconds, the seven continents appeared below it.

Tentacles emerged from their depths and drilled into the surrounding space, like the roots of a tree setting themselves in place.

Meanwhile, Liora’s figure had unknowingly appeared above them, her expression indifferent.

Seeing the seven continents take place, she raised her head and pointed above her.

An oppressive aura emerged.

The seven continents resonated with her own strength to give birth to an overwhelming force.

As Liora pointed, that force pushed the 17th Demon Layer upward.

Slowly but surely, the 17th Demon Layer was forced to rise.

It was not the only one.

With its ascension, the Demon Layers above it were forced to do the same.

The 18th Demon Layer approached the 19th, while the 19th approached the 20th.

This sequence continued until the very top of the giant “pyramid” that was the Demon World.

It was only several minutes later that Liora withdrew her hand.

By now, in the area where the 17th Demon Layer had once stood, the seven continents had completely taken root.

Likewise, the original 17th Demon Layer had become the 18th!

The original 18th had become the 19th, etc.

With the placement of Liora’s Demon Layer, every Demon Layer below her in the ranking had been forcefully demoted.

Every Ruler was displeased by her actions.

With their rankings falling, their authority as Rulers had decreased. Although it was not drastic, it was still noticeable.

Accumulated over billions of years, the decrease would be felt.

Despite this, no Ruler dared to take action.

They glanced at the 18th Demon Layer first, knowing that its Ruler was bound to be the most affected among them.

Knowing that they were also a Primordial Devil, one stronger than the Holy Land Demon Lord, they wanted to see what they would do. Their next actions would depend on that.

Unfortunately…

“Hmph! Consider yourself lucky!”

“I’m currently in the process of a breakthrough! Once I’m done, I’ll come to seek justice for today’s matters!”

A cold voice spread throughout the Demon World, majestic and threatening.

The Archdevil Rulers who heard it broke out in cold sweat.

Would another earth-shattering battle break out in the near future?

However, the Ancient Devils at the scene knew better.

The Ruler’s “threat” was not a threat at all!

Rather, it was a show of weakness!

It was obvious that they didn’t dare to confront Liora and were merely using an advancement as an excuse.

That Ruler was not the only one.

The other Primordial Devil Rulers were the same, with none of them daring to voice their dissatisfaction.

Though aggrieved, they had tacitly accepted Liora’s position.

Seeing the total silence and sensing the fearful consciousnesses observing the scene, Liora couldn’t help but smile secretly.

She knew that from now on, she would be the Ruler of the 17th Demon Layer!
