History

Rise and rivalry

The Demon Race was one of the three early peak races—alongside the Insect and Machine Races—that jointly dominated the Primal Universe's core territories before Origin Ancestor forced the Human Race into the region 721. Its territory later bordered those of the Human, Insect, and Machine Races, making their conflicts particularly intense and leading to the establishment of the Extraterritorial Battlefields 115.

At its height, the Demon Race had more than one hundred thousand surviving king-ranked immortals, slightly exceeding the Human Race's total of over ninety thousand 161. It also possessed more Universe Masters than the Human Race at one point, with eighteen compared to humanity's fifteen 340.

Internal vulnerabilities

Despite its large number of experts, the Demon Race was particularly vulnerable to infiltration. Its comparatively weak communications made possession and soul enslavement more common among its king-level immortals, Universe Venerables, and Universe Masters than among the other pinnacle races 149.

Lu Qingshan exploited this weakness by enslaving Kleist, a Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Snake prodigy, and later Youmo Venerable, a Demon Race Universe Overlord 138 417. Youmo's later breakthrough to Universe Master prompted repeated Demon Race attempts on his life, but he survived with Lu Qingshan's support 494.

War with the Human Race

The Demon Race retaliated fiercely after Youmo Venerable's enslavement, targeting Lu Qingshan's disciples, family, and Human Race experts rather than immediately beginning an all-out war 417. During this period, 129 Human Race Universe Venerables fell to Demon Race experts—three times the usual death toll 422.

The conflict escalated when the Human Race invaded the Shock Ancestor Secret Realm. Lu Qingshan and Giant Axe Creator led coordinated teams against Demon Race Universe Masters, killing Lord Jiao and other targets before reinforcements could arrive 512. The ensuing battle cost the Demon Race five Universe Masters, including Lord Jiao and Qingming Lord, while Blood Chisel Lord lost an avatar and its treasures 514 515.

Alliance and territorial concessions

In response to the losses, Dream Demon Ancestor and Shock Demon Ancestor formed an offensive-defensive alliance with the Insect Race Empress and Machine Race Father God against the Human Race 515. The alliance was unable to prevent the Human Race from gaining territory through negotiation: the Demon Race ultimately ceded 300 star sectors, while the Insect and Machine Races each ceded 150 525.

After the Human Race suppressed the Machine Race Father God, further negotiations forced the Demon Race and Insect Race to cede additional core territories. The Human Race received 3,000 core-region star zones in total, while the Machine Race retained one hundred 592 593.

Migration and later status

The Demon Race evacuated the territories it ceded, relocating both experts and ordinary demon beasts to new regions. Shock Demon Ancestor and Dream Demon Ancestor viewed the migration as a temporary setback and hoped to eventually reclaim their former lands 596.

The race was not exterminated when the Human Race later dominated the Primal Universe. The Human Race avoided immediate retaliation against the Demon and Insect Races because both still possessed universe-strongest protectors, whose desperation could inflict severe consequences 710.

Military Capabilities

Divine bodies and genetic advantages

Demon Race imperial and royal clans frequently begin with superior life-gene levels and exceptionally large divine bodies, making them difficult opponents at the same realm 97. These innate advantages allow some Demon Race prodigies to exceed comparable Human Race talents under equivalent conditions 139.

• Reincarnation Cong-Eyed Snake prodigy Kleist fused eight Light Luo Crystals, which doubled his life-gene level after three successful fusions 139.
• The Demon Race's top hundred world-master prodigies include a small number capable of entry-level king combat power 139.
• High life-gene levels, auxiliary lifeforms, and body-amplitude secret techniques can combine to produce combat power far above a user's realm 139.

Avatar cultivation

The ability to create avatars is a major strategic advantage for the race. It increases divine-power reserves, provides survivability after combat losses, and helps explain the race's large number of top-tier Universe Overlords 186 464.

• The Two-Headed Demon Marten lineage can nurture avatars before immortality 186.
• Blood Lord and Frog Molt Lord were excluded from the Human Race's initial assassination targets because they could create avatars 512.
• The Human Race's attack nevertheless targeted Demon Race Universe Masters unable to create avatars, ensuring their deaths were permanent 514.

Supreme treasures

The Demon Race possessed supreme true treasures earlier than most of the Primal Universe's peak races. Dream Demon Ancestor and Shock Demon Ancestor spent over ten billion eras assaulting an energy barrier to obtain another such treasure 449 450.

• Shock Demon Ancestor acquired a cone-shaped supreme treasure usable as both a close-combat and telekinetic weapon, fusing it into his tail 471.
• Dream Demon Ancestor's supreme treasure armor allowed her to display peak seventh-tier strength 450.
• The race's supreme treasures were central to its deterrence strategy during territorial negotiations 524.

Relationships

• Human Race — Principal rival in the core territories and across the Extraterritorial Battlefields; their conflict culminated in the Human Race's devastating attack on the Shock Ancestor Secret Realm 115 512 514.
• Insect Race — Frequent ally of convenience against the Human Race; joined the Demon Race in an offensive-defensive alliance after the loss of five Demon Race Universe Masters 515.
• Machine Race — Both an ally and competitor. The Demon Race once joined the Insect Race in attempting to kill the Machine Race Father God, but later cooperated with the Machine Race against Human expansion 470 515.
• Purple Moon Holy Land — Traded supreme true treasures to the Demon Race, Insect Race, and Machine Race in exchange for peak domain-type treasures; later offered rewards for killing Human Race Universe Masters 573.
• Demon Alliance member races — Many allied races relied on the Demon Ancestors' ability to resurrect fallen Universe Overlords. Their confidence faltered while Dream Demon Ancestor and Shock Demon Ancestor remained absent from the Primal Universe 446 449.
