Winning over two clans, the Demon Domain's foundations began to show!
Myriad Demon Mountain Range, White Cloud Peak.
The White Crane leaned against the jade couch, idly waving a folding fan in its hand; its gaze passed over the layers of clouds and rosy hues, landing on Purple Firmament Peak.
There, purple-gold lightning occasionally tore through the sky, and an immense and boundless power of the Dao still pressed down on the birds around White Cloud Peak, forcing them to fold their wings and lower their heads.
"This black-hearted bear's comprehension is even more bizarre than those old monsters of the Human Race."
White Crane's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
He could clearly sense that the power of rules contained within that oppressive force of Dao of Lightning was constantly being perfected and sublimated.
Shi Jian has clearly come up with something extraordinary again within the Purple Pivot Secret Realm.
Despite his envy, White Crane hadn't been idle these past few years; with Shi Jian in seclusion practicing Daoism, the burden of managing the Myriad Demon Domain from the outside world fell entirely on his shoulders as the second-in-command.
Over the past decade or so, he has been constantly on the move.
He first went to the North Sea.
The three Demon King of the Heavenly Ape Domain were all incredibly irritable.
But those three were also people who valued loyalty and friendship.
In addition, the situation on the mainland has been chaotic, and no race has had a chance to catch their breath; Yuan Shan is a sensible demon, and there is also the bond of incense offering from when they jointly besieged the Grand Purity Sect.
The Fang Yi, and even the hot-tempered "Mountain-Moving" and "Sea-Overturning" reluctantly agreed when faced with the prospect of profit.
Then, the White Crane rushed to the East Sea without stopping.
The Eight-Tentacled Demon King of the Eight-Tentacled Giant Beast Clan, and another Abyss Fish Demon King; these two have long coveted the land resources and have long been dissatisfied with the dominance of the Flood Dragon Clan.
Back then, their clan consisted of three Demon King who jointly suppressed the East Sea.
As a result, the Flood Dragon Clan emerged unscathed and gained enormous profits; while the Sea Ape Clan lost two Demon King in the battle.
Their Eight-Tentacled Giant Beast Clan also lost a Demon King in battle and gained nothing from it; how could they not harbor resentment?
The White Crane offered substantial rewards, promising that when the Human Race's territory was divided in the future, the entire coast of the East Sea would belong to it. Only then did the Eight-Tentacled Clan relent.
Thus, a three-way alliance was secretly formed.
White Crane knew very well that this alliance was as loose as a pile of loose sand.
They usually fight their own battles, only uniting when facing life-or-death situations or when there are huge benefits to be gained.
"I don't expect you to exert yourselves to the death. If you can help restrain Grand Purity and Righteous Qi Gate, I'll be grateful."
The White Crane closed its folding fan, shook its head, and said, "Human Race Decay, and the Demon Race isn't much better; they're just oppressed and came together first."
Ultimately, it's about humans and demons.
In the end, what difference does it make? It's all about self-interest.
With the external situation stabilized, there is room to allocate internal resources.
During the years that Shi Jian was in seclusion, White Crane began to take bold steps to integrate the resources of the Myriad Demon Domain and focus on cultivating those Foundation Establishment demons who were stuck at their bottlenecks.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men.
Three years later, in the northern part of the Myriad Demon Domain, in the land of the Eagle and Falcon Clan, a jet-black Iron-Bone Eagle with a wingspan of ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) swallowed a Dao of Wind Fruit bestowed by White Crane.
A fierce wind swept through, tearing apart the mountains and forests.
Iron-Bone Eagle successfully completed the Core Formation process, gathering its vital energy and reassembling its shattered core; it was promoted to Fifth-Level Demon General and bestowed the title "Rending Wind".
Five years later, in the dense southern forest, a mutated Netherworld Black Tiger, in the midst of a battle with dozens of other Demon Beast of the same level, suddenly attained enlightenment.
At the same time, by fortuitous opportunity coincidence, they discovered a wisp of the Dao of Darkness Heaven and Earth Qi Dynamic.
They finally broke through successfully, their roar echoing for miles.
Not only that.
What caught the attention of the Myriad Demon Domain most was the activity of the Heavenly Demon City and the Primordial Line.
The secret chamber of the City Lord's Mansion in Heavenly Demon City.
Zhao Xuanqing sat cross-legged, with a jade bottle covered in sealing talismans floating in front of him.
He was covered in sweat, and his canine features were faintly visible on his face; Qi-less Core Formation, he lacked Shi Jian's ruthlessness and Shu Jiuyin's obsession.
He chose the safest, but also the most expensive, path.
The jade bottle shattered, and a wisp of dark red gas drifted out.
"Boiling Flame Blazing Fire Qi."
This was something he had obtained from the black market of Devil Province, at the cost of his entire fortune and dozens of drops of demon blood, from those old monsters.
With the help of this Fire Dao- elemental energy, Zhao Xuanqing was able to remain in seclusion for several years.
The impure Half-Demon bloodline within his body was cleansed, thus undergoing a transformation; on the day that the Core Formation was brought forth, countless Half-Demon cultivators came to witness the ceremony.
Everyone wants to see if this path of Half-Demon can truly lead to further progress!
If feasible, it would likely exacerbate the Human Race's defection to the enemy, letting everyone know that the path of the Half-Demon can also lead to heaven.
Who knows, it might even attract some Golden Core True Person whose lifespans are nearing their end!
The longer you live, the more afraid you become of death.
If there truly is a path to take, there has never been a shortage of selfish people among Human Race; no matter how righteous and awe-inspiring they may be, when death approaches, they will eventually fall.
And how many people could be truly unafraid?
How many people would willingly perish? How could they possibly accept it?
Several days later.
A powerful aura belonging to Golden Core cultivator surged into the sky, drawing down fiery clouds!
Zhao Xuanqing broke through his cultivation barrier and officially became the first being to advance to the Golden Core stage as Half-Demon; thus proving the feasibility of the path of the Half-Demon.
At the same time, Zhao Xuanqing exhibited characteristics of atavism.
Upon breaking through the barrier, his body completely transformed into a giant Sun Devourer Hound, tens of meters in size; he could also freely switch between human and demon forms.
Furthermore, when it transforms into a demon, it can combine with a pure-blooded Demon Beast.
Half-Demon with an even purer bloodline was born!
Meanwhile, at the border of the Heavenly Ape Domain, deep within the Grand Mystery Plain.
Inside an abandoned ancient mine of the Grand Purity Sect, a burly Xiong Man lies in wait before a massive High Antiquity Sea Ape skeleton.
Thanks to the intelligence from Shu Baoshan, and the favorable wind of the alliance between White Crane and Heavenly Ape Domain.
Xiong Man, carrying the token of the Myriad Demon Domain, successfully crossed the defense line of the Heavenly Ape Domain and found this ruin; and at the location of the heart orifice of the skeleton, he found that wisp of dark yellow energy.
The Dao of the Physical Body the Heaven and Earth Qi: the Black-Yellow Tyrant Body Qi!
"The Primordial Line has been dormant for too long," Xiong Man's voice boomed like thunder.
He opened his blood-red maw and swallowed the wisp of primordial yellow energy into his belly.
Boom!
A violent surge of Blood Qi exploded within him.
The Primordial Line primarily cultivates the physical body, and this energy was like a spark falling into dry tinder; Xiong Man's skin and flesh cracked inch by inch, and crimson blood gushed out, but it healed rapidly under the nourishment of the Xuanhuang energy.
The bones continue to grow, pushing the limits.
His size grew from three zhang to thirty zhang, and then expanded to three hundred zhang; his body was like Shan Yue, enormous!
It is even larger than some Nascent Soul Demon Beast.
The long hairs stood on end, gleaming with an indestructible, dark yellow luster; a terrifying Blood Qi stained the heavens and earth, and the giant bear broke through the ruins.
Like Shan Yue rising from the earth, it shot straight into the Yunxiao, its sound shaking the eight directions:
Within the Dantian, Qi and Blood condense into a pill.
Strange phenomena appeared frequently in the heavens and earth, but they were all suppressed by Xiong Man. His breakthrough process was extremely smooth, and he was reborn!
With Xiong Man shattered and collapsed a mountain.
With another swing of its giant claws, it plowed four deep trenches stretching for dozens of miles across the earth; the mountains and peaks along the way were all reduced to mockery.
These are merely part of the Dao of the Physical Body.
What truly makes him formidable is his physical regenerative ability; he is arguably the most unsolvable existence in Dao Path.
Perhaps he can't beat you, perhaps he has many shortcomings.
But he can rely on you forever, and he can even fight against multiple opponents, holding off several people of the same level and escaping unscathed.
This is the power of a Golden Core stage demon in the Dao of the Physical Body!
Xiong Man to the sky, the sound waves overturning the surrounding wind and snow.
Its demonic aura suppressed the surrounding area for miles, and no one dared to oppose it!
When the news reached them, the bears were in an uproar.
Thus, the Lightning Bear Line) and Boulder Line Lei Qiong), Shi Pan) and Shi Yin Jin Kuang Frost and Snow Line), respectively; the lineage of An Jin (Dark Gold Line) and Jin Kuang (金狂); the Flame Brown Bear Line Flame Brown Bear) and the Primordial Line) and Xiong Man).
The six branches of the Bear Clan all have Golden Core Demon General guarding them!
The six meridians of the Bear Clan reached an unprecedented peak at this moment; throughout the Myriad Demon Domain, Golden Core Demon General broke through the twenty major barriers in one fell swoop.
There are six generals of the Bear Clan, three generals of the Fei Yu Clan, and three lineages of demon lords of the Rat Race; to the east are the Azure Ape, and to the south are the three water-related clans of Crocodiles, Turtles, and Cicadas.
To the west lie two tribes: the Heavenly Demons Half-Demon, Sun Devourer Hound; there are also the Thunder Leopard and Black Tigers; all races in the Myriad Demon Domain rise up, and the myriad demons are in awe!
Not to mention, Lu Xun and Sun Chengzu also served him.
With the Golden Core stage at its first level, the Myriad Demon Domain has already begun to take shape.
