The Rules of Demon Beasts!
The Thunder Pool boiled, the purplish-gold thunder liquid churning like magma within.
Shi Jian's body sank completely to the bottom of the lightning pool. Countless bolts of lightning intertwined, transforming into a giant cocoon of purple-gold light that tightly enveloped him, after which he fell into a deep sleep...
at the same time.
After White Crane led Yun Du into Cloud Lord Peak, there was no further movement from them.
In the entire Myriad Demon Domain, only a few Golden Core Demon General remained to govern their respective areas, and the entire Myriad Demon Domain gradually returned to peace.
Time flies like an arrow; several months have passed in the blink of an eye.
After annexing the Spirit Vein of the three states, the territory of the Myriad Demon Domain became increasingly prosperous, but Spirit Vein vary in quality, and spiritual mountains vary in wealth.
The core fourth- and third-tier spiritual mountains were naturally occupied by tribes of Golden Core Demon General such as the White Crane, the Five Bear Lineages, the Azure Ape, and the Aquatic Clan.
But beneath these, there are hundreds and thousands of second- and first-tier spiritual mountains, as well as vast plains, forests, and marshes.
These places are the battlegrounds for the lowest-level Demon Beast.
No Golden Core Demon General intervened, and even some fourth-tier great demons tacitly watched the situation unfold with indifference.
The Demon Race has no need for hothouse flowers.
The outer perimeter of the Myriad Demon Domain.
A mountain range stretching for three hundred miles is called Beheading Ridge).
This place was originally a mid-grade second-tier spiritual Spirit Vein. Although the Spiritual Qi here was not as concentrated as in the core area, it was still a rare spiritual land for low-level Demon Beast.
At this moment, on Beheading Ridge, blood flowed like a river.
"Awoo--"
A mournful wolf howl ripped through the forest as hundreds of ox-sized Azure Wind Wolf, in a blur of motion, frantically pounced on a group of Ironback Lizard covered in thick scales.
First-tier Demon Beast, with only the strength of the Qi Refining Realm, mostly rely on physical combat to fight.
Claws tore through the scales, and blood gushed out.
The Ironback Lizard's thick tail swept across, shattering the bones and entrails of several Azure Wind Wolf, causing them to vomit up their internal organs mixed with blood.
Here, there is no vengeance or revenge, only the most primal acts of tearing and plundering.
In the center of the mountain ridge, a second-tier spiritual herb, entirely crimson and bearing two vermilion fruits, swayed in the wind, emitting an alluring fragrance.
Beside the spirit herb, the Azure Wind Wolf and the Ironback Lizard King were locked in a deadly battle.
Both were level three Demon Beast, comparable to the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
The wolf king was surrounded by wind blades, and each pounce left white marks on the lizard king's thick carapace.
The lizard king spewed foul-smelling venom, which sizzled and corroded the surrounding rocks.
Bang!
The wolf king was caught off guard and was struck in the abdomen by the lizard king's giant tail.
Most of the wolfhound-type Demon Beast have heads of bronze, bones of iron, and waists of tofu. The wolf king let out a miserable howl and crashed heavily onto a boulder, its spine breaking.
The lizard king's eyes gleamed with ferocity. It stretched out its powerful limbs, opened its blood-red maw, and was about to crush the wolf king's head.
At that moment, a sudden change occurred.
From the shadow of a towering ancient tree nearby, a Little Black, almost blending into the darkness, shot out like an arrow.
Extremely fast!
Before the lizard king could react, the dark shadow had already landed on its neck.
Pfft.
A dark purple light flashed by.
The lizard king's scales, as hard as refined steel, were easily cut open as if they were made of paper.
Blood gushed out like a fountain, shooting into the sky. The lizard king then crashed to the ground, its limbs twitching violently a few times before falling silent.
The shadowy figure landed, revealing its true form.
It was a black panther demon, only the size of a mongrel, its fur as dark as night, with a faint purple-gold lightning pattern on its forehead.
A level-three Demon Beast, the Thunder Leopard!
Thunder Leopard glanced at the corpse on the ground, and without pausing, his figure transformed into black lightning once again, rushing straight towards the second-tier spirit herb.
"Aww!"
The severely wounded wolf king let out an angry roar, trying to stop it.
Without turning its head, Thunder Leopard kicked off with its hind legs, and a seemingly weak but extremely pure purple-gold lightning bolt exploded from the tip of its tail, striking the wolf king precisely on the head...
The wolf king's body stiffened, and then its life force was cut off.
Thunder Leopard swallowed two Vermilion Fruits in one gulp, not even glancing at the chaotic beast horde around him. With a flicker, he disappeared back into the darkness.
Gulp
The vermilion fruit entered his stomach, and its violent medicinal power exploded within Thunder Shadow's body.
The purple-gold thunder pattern on its forehead shone even brighter, its bones cracked like popping beans, and its size had increased by a full circle.
Its aura surged, and in the blink of an eye, it broke through the shackles of level three, stepping into the ranks of level four Demon Beast, its aura becoming increasingly powerful!
"Just a touch of pure lightning energy is enough to increase my strength by several tens of percent."
Thunder Leopard licked the blood off his paws, his dark eyes gazing towards Purple Firmament Peak, filled with fervor and awe.
It was once an ordinary leopard demon at the lowest level of the Myriad Demon Mountain. By fortuitous opportunity, it had been bathed in a trace of thunderous Daoist energy that Shi Jian had released when he broke through to the next level.
That trace of Daoist essence not only greatly increased his strength, but also caused a mutation in his bloodline, allowing him to grow to his current state.
This is truly an incredible fortuitous opportunity!
In this bottom-level battleground of the Myriad Demon Domain, beings like Thunder Leopard are not isolated cases. Countless Demon Beast fight each other, and powerful individuals constantly rise up to support their respective regions!
In the southern part of the Myriad Demon Domain lies a vast expanse of water.
A ten-zhang-long Jade Water Python was tightly coiled around a level four tortoise demon. As the python's body tightened, its bones shattered.
The turtle demon launched a desperate counterattack, its sharp beak tearing off a large chunk of flesh from the Jade Water Python.
Just as the two great demons were locked in a stalemate, both suffering heavy losses,
The water surface suddenly exploded.
A golden cicada of a different species, with six segmented limbs and a body entirely gleaming gold, burst out of the water. Its wings, as thin as cicada wings, suddenly flapped, emitting a piercing sonic boom.
The sound waves, sharp as knives, pierced through the skulls of the Jade Water Python and the alligator snapping turtle in an instant.
The two level-four demons died on the spot.
The Six-Winged Golden Cicada fell into the water, its sharp mouthparts piercing the Demon Core of the Jade Water Python, frantically sucking its essence.
Its aura is also approaching the peak of level four at a visible speed.
"Kill! Eat!"
"So hungry, so hungry!!!"
The eastern part, within the jurisdiction of the Qingmu Demon Cave.
A group of Tier 1 Fire-Tailed Monkey are attacking a Tier 2 Bear Demon.
The Fire-Tailed Monkey were numerous, constantly spewing flames and heat waves, burning the bear demon's skin and flesh to shreds, and the bear Yao Qi was on the verge of death.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose.
A blue spirit bird with a wingspan of about ten feet swooped down from the sky, and with a flap of its wings, hundreds of wind blades poured down like a torrential rain.
Dozens of Fire-Tailed Monkey were instantly shredded into pieces, and even the bear demon was not spared, being beheaded by a huge wind blade.
The azure spirit bird landed in the pool of blood and gracefully pecked at the Demon Beast's heart.
His bloodline was noble, so even if he killed a bear demon, it wouldn't be a big deal, since the Demon Race was known for its survival of the fittest.
One's life Death Dao and the loss of one's spiritual cultivation; one can only blame oneself for insufficient skill.
"With the Demon Lord White Crane reigning supreme, my Feather Race deserves to prosper!"
Slaughter.
Endless slaughter unfolded in every corner of the Myriad Demon Domain.
They fought over a spiritual spring, a low-grade spiritual herb, or even a cave with slightly denser Spiritual Qi.
The lowest level of Demon Beast, following their most primal hunting instincts, tear each other apart and devour one another.
The strong prey on the weak; only the fittest survive.
In this cruel method of raising Gu, weak Demon Beast fall in droves, turning into nutrients for the soil, while those Demon Beast or clans that survive are all the best among their peers.
Their bloodline was refined through battle, and their fighting instincts were honed to the extreme.
Furthermore, a group of Demon Race, Thunder Leopard and Six-Winged Golden Cicada, who had received Enlightenment or indirect favor from Shi Jian, frantically plundered resources during this feast of flesh and blood, and rose rapidly to prominence.
The lower-level forces of the Myriad Demon Domain are undergoing a transformation and reshuffling at an alarming pace, with a new generation of Demon Beast constantly rising!
