Background / History

The Dark Demon Race originates from chaotic, evil-energy-filled dimensions beyond the dimensional rifts. They covet humanity’s resources and oppose human order; humanity has repeatedly forced the Exotic Races back beyond the rifts through Martial Dao cultivation, but the rifts cannot be permanently sealed. 29

They ambush Fang Yan’s school team near Kyoto while attempting to capture its young geniuses and refine them into Blood Pills. Their leader, an early-stage Great Martial Master with three eyes, commands more than a dozen warriors; Fang Yan’s group escapes only after Su Wan is severely wounded and the leader is later heavily injured. 27 29

Investigators identify a newly formed dimensional rift outside Kyoto as the source of the ambush. The incident leads to fears of a wider invasion, heightened security, and the postponement of the National Competition. 28

The race later masses tens of thousands of fighters near Black Wind Canyon, supported by dark-energy-controlled Black Wind Leopards and Ironclad Bears. Their repeated assaults threaten a vital human supply route and escalate into a major border conflict. 35 39 40

At Dragon Fang Pass Fortress, Dark Demon Race assaults become increasingly frequent near the dimensional rift. A Profound Connection Realm demon personally enters the battle against Rear Admiral Li Jianguo, demonstrating the threat posed by their high-ranking combatants. 36 37

Abilities & Tactics

Dark Energy

Dark Demon combatants employ dark energy in direct attacks and area control.

• Dark energy can erode Fang Yan’s Profound Ice True Qi during combat. 35
• Dense demonic energy permeates their demon den and suppresses ordinary Martial Ancestor Realm experts. 42
• Fang Yan’s Profound Ice Domain can purify the den’s demonic energy, making him valuable to an infiltration squad. 42
• A Profound Connection Realm demon manifests a black domain against Rear Admiral Li Jianguo’s golden domain. 37

Blood Pill Refinement

A Dark Demon leader states that the Kyoto ambush is intended to capture young human geniuses alive and refine them into Blood Pills. 27

• A hidden figure later identifies Fang Yan as a valuable Blood Pill target because of the power he displayed at the middle stage of Martial Master. 28

Controlled Exotic Beasts

During the Black Wind Canyon offensive, Dark Demon forces deploy Black Wind Leopards and Ironclad Bears affected by dark energy. 35

• The beasts act alongside the demon army in an organized advance. 35
• Demon warriors use strange horns to incite the controlled beasts and send them through traps or into enemy positions. 35
• Once their leader is killed, the controlled beasts become more ferocious rather than dispersing. 38

Formations and Fortified Positions

The race maintains fortified positions powered by dark-energy formations.

• The Black Wind Formation is anchored by a black spear embedded in a large altar; its destruction renders the formation inactive. 47
• Their demon den contains a core altar and is used to cultivate stronger demon warriors and Exotic Beasts. 42

Major Engagements

• Kyoto school-team ambush — More than a dozen Dark Demon warriors attack Fang Yan, Su Wan, Chu Feng, Lin Mengyao, and Li Hao; Su Wan is severely injured, while Fang Yan’s counterattack destroys numerous warriors and forces the leader back. 27
• Black Wind Canyon campaign — Tens of thousands of Dark Demons, aided by controlled Exotic Beasts, attempt to seize the canyon and sever the human rear supply line. Their forces are repeatedly repelled at heavy cost. 35 38 39
• Dragon Fang Pass assault — Demon warriors launch a large-scale attack near the dimensional rift, followed by the intervention of a Profound Connection Realm expert. 36 37
• Third Black Wind Canyon offensive — More than thirty thousand Dark Demon troops advance alongside a Sect-level Exotic Beast; Fang Yan uses a Martial Emperor Realm Trial Card to kill the beast and rout the attacking army. 40
• Demon den infiltration — Human forces infiltrate a Dark Demon den to destroy its core altar and seize Nirvana Grass, killing its Martial Ancestor Realm demon general in the process. 42
• Royal Court attack on Jianmen Pass — The Royal Court deploys its Black Armored Guards and an Exotic Race King against the pass before Mystic Martial Pavilion reinforcements force the king’s surrender. 50
