Seeing the Turkish king's firm resolve, the two old men no longer hesitated and turned to walk to the front of the procession.
The two then raised their staffs and shouted, "Everyone, heed my command! The ceremony begins!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two old men raised their staffs high and began chanting incantations, while hundreds of blue-robed mages behind them also raised their staffs and began chanting.
Endless power surged forth like a vast ocean, transforming into blue lightning that roared towards the Demon King.
As that power surged, a star array appeared beneath the feet of the King of Turlan, its eerie energy surging, with black mist carrying terrifying power rampaging within, seemingly communicating with the Demon King in some way.
Upon seeing this, the Turkish Grand Preceptor was startled. "Did His Majesty prepare for this?"
This star array was clearly not drawn on the spot; it must have existed for a long time.
The King of Turkey's gaze was deep and serious. "This is Turkey's last trump card. How can we be careless?"
Many great nations know that the Demon King was sealed away, but no one knows his exact location. Even the most powerful magicians cannot deduce his location, simply because the Demon King's power is too great.
But perhaps it was a blessing from heaven that this secret was discovered by the Turkish royal family, who immediately sealed the news. From then on, only successive Turkish kings knew of the existence of the Demon King.
They would naturally not touch this double-edged sword unless absolutely necessary, but now the King of Turkey has no choice.
Upon hearing this, the Turanian Grand Preceptor said no more, but looked at the Demon King with a tense expression.
There were too many uncertainties in this matter, and he had no idea what to do. He could only pray that the outcome would be good.
After all, the Demon King is such a dangerous being, and if he were to become uncontrollable, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As boundless power surged through the iron chains, the chains finally reacted, beginning to tremble in the air, and their crimson color gradually faded.
As that power surged in, endless Yin energy began to surge around the Demon King, seemingly trying to resist the power of the seal.
The next instant, a mage's body seemed to be shattered by some powerful force, instantly turning into a wisp of black smoke, which then whistled along the iron chain and was sucked into the demon king's body.
Then came the second and third place, with more and more magicians being sucked into the Demon King's body.
Seeing this, the Turkish Grand Master was shocked. "What's going on?"
He turned to look at the King of Turkey, who appeared calm and composed, as if he had known this would happen all along.
The King of Turkey's gaze turned cold. "This seal was created through the sacrifice of tens of thousands of top mages. How could it possibly be broken without paying any price?"
Upon hearing this, the Turanian Grand Master understood that to unseal the Demon King, it was clear that a magician's sacrifice was necessary for any chance of success.
Otherwise, given Turkey's current strength, it would have absolutely no chance of winning against the Demon King's immense power.
As one mage after another was absorbed, the power within the Demon King's body grew stronger and stronger, with endless black energy surging as if it wanted to break free from its cocoon.
As if sensing the powerful force trying to break free, the chains suddenly blazed with red light, endless radiance shimmered, and a powerful force swept out, beginning to contend with the Demon King's power.
Seeing this, the King of Turkey shouted, "More! He needs more!"
As soon as he finished speaking, one after another, the blue-robed mages turned into black smoke and continued to be absorbed into the Demon King's body.
As it continued to absorb magicians, the Demon King's aura grew stronger and stronger, with endless black energy surging like a vast, imprisoned ocean. Once the seal was broken, its terrifying power would soar into the sky.
The power on the chains grew stronger, and the red light intensified, contending with the power of the Demon King.
The collision of the two forces directly generated a fierce gale, so powerful that even the King of Turkey almost lost his footing.
As the two forces clashed, and the Demon King showed no signs of being unsealed, the old man on the left narrowed his eyes slightly, "More power is needed."
He was well aware that the blue-robed mage had already been almost completely absorbed, and if more power was needed, it would naturally be his turn.
After speaking, his gaze sharpened as he looked at the old man on his right, "Take good care of the King!"
After he finished speaking, his entire body turned into black smoke and was instantly absorbed into the Demon King's body.
As a top mage in Turkey, his power is beyond doubt, and his magic is incredibly strong.
The old man on the right's expression changed. He wanted to say something, but before he could speak, the old man on the left had already disappeared.
He sighed softly and didn't say much.
As subjects, they naturally had few choices; since the king demanded their lives, they could only obey.
As the Demon King absorbed the powerful magician's energy, the black aura around him grew stronger, becoming a dark, oppressive mass that blotted out the sun and engulfed the entire area.
As that terrifying power surged, the Demon King slowly opened his eyes.
Those were a pair of incredibly scarlet eyes, filled with endless coldness, like a ferocious beast from the underworld, brimming with boundless danger. Just one glance was enough to send shivers down one's spine, making one realize that this was an extremely dangerous individual.
Seeing this, the King of Turkey's eyes lit up with excitement, "It's a success! It's finally a success!"
Seeing the near-madness of the King of Turkey, the Turkish Grand Preceptor asked with a puzzled look, "What's going on?"
The chains were still in place, and the Demon King's seal had not been broken, yet the Demon King had awakened. This inexplicable situation truly baffled him.
The King of Turkey said, "This seal is too powerful; Turkey simply cannot shake it."
The seal, forged by tens of thousands of top mages back then, could not be easily broken by a country as small as Turkey.
Upon hearing this, the Turkish Grand Preceptor pondered for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed. "So, His Majesty never intended to lift the seal in the first place?"
Since the King of Turkey knew that the seal was unbreakable, he would not be foolish enough to try to break it, as it would be a completely futile effort.
The King of Turland replied, "Over such a long period of time, the seal has shown signs of weakening and its power is not what it used to be. Although we cannot shake it, this is not the case for the Demon King."
Upon hearing this, the Turkish Grand Preceptor was startled. "So, His Majesty's initial goal was to awaken the Demon King!"
He realized that since Turkey didn't have that power, then let the Demon King do it.
That's why so many mages were sacrificed; the purpose was to increase the Demon King's power so that he would awaken.
The Demon King surveyed everything with his scarlet eyes, his cold gaze devoid of any emotion. "It's been a long time."
After he finished speaking, he let out a loud shout, and endless black energy surged around him, with boundless violent power, which then suddenly exploded.
Cracks appeared on the red light surrounding the Demon King, and wisps of black energy could be faintly seen escaping from it.
The next instant, the red chains exploded, and the Demon King's towering figure stood in the air, his cold gaze looking down at everything below.
Feeling the long-lost freedom, the Demon King revealed a wicked smile, "It's been a long time since I've been here, world. I've finally returned."
