The Dragon Elephant Giant Race had been an extraordinarily contradictory race from the very beginning.
Their talent for physical cultivation was simply far too outstanding.
They were one of the innate races, just like the others.
Yet their race could go toe to toe in physical combat with pureblood True Dragons of the same realm, one of the Demon Tribe's Four Great Sacred Clans!
And so a peculiar phenomenon emerged: breakthroughs reserved for old age.
When Dragon-Elephant Giants were young, it was very difficult for them to pass the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.

The main reason was that they were downright terrible at cultivating qi.
Their newborn babies could drink milk for a few days, then head straight into the sea to catch turtles and beat Human Race Golden Core Stage cultivators black and blue.
