Inside the tower, everyone was a soldier, and every day brought battle.
Qing Chen's strategy for nurturing them had always been simple:
Pour in vast quantities of low-level resources (battle techniques, body cultivation techniques, body-tempering herbs, low-tier demon beast meat), along with even more powerful whetstones.
For instance...
"Roar!!!"
A roar suddenly erupted from the direction of the Myriad-Jun Realm in the east!
An enormous demon god phantom appeared, over fifty zhang long, with an eagle-like head, a crimson bird's body, a featureless, chaotic visage, six legs, and four wings. Wreathed in towering demon fire, it descended with brazen force!
Wherever it passed, the air warped and mountain rocks shattered. Its terrifying pressure left every body cultivator within dozens of li deathly pale, their qi and blood stagnating!
The Di Jiang Demon God!
The foremost of the five White Bone Demon Banners had long since advanced into a high-grade demon banner through tempering with endless corpses and resentful souls!
The Di Jiang Demon God it manifested now stood firmly at the middle stage of the fourth tier in combat strength!
Its combat strength rivaled that of a Nascent Soul middle stage True Lord!
The other four demon gods-Pojun, Xuanming, Greedy Wolf, and Giant Gate-had also all entered the early stage of the fourth tier, their ferocious might towering to the heavens.
These five demon gods were the most terrifying "whetstones" Qing Chen took turns sending into the tower.
They were called-the Twelve Demonic Calamities.
They were no lifeless things. Under the enhancement and control of the fourth level of Qing Chen's Demon Seed Golden Lotus, the Demon Lotus Platform, they possessed abundant spiritual intelligence and an endless variety of combat methods.
"Form up! It's the most terrifying Demon Venerable Di Jiang!" Lie Feng's and Bu Jingyun's roars rang throughout Divine
