Chapter 660 Blood Demon
His actions were truly unique in the demon realm! They quickly became a sensation throughout the entire demon realm!
He thus became the leader of the demons, and quickly gathered a large number of loyal disciples under his command.
This person is the legendary Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.
But the good times didn't last long.
The Demon Lord focused solely on his own cultivation, spending most of his time in seclusion, neglecting to teach and manage his disciples.
Soon, the disciples split into two factions.
One faction advocates a steady and pragmatic approach, relying solely on demonic energy cultivation.
The advantage is that the demonic energy has less backlash on itself, and the lightning punishment during tribulation is also lighter.
However, the downside is that the cultivation speed is slow in the early stages, and it is very likely that the cultivator will be corrupted by demonic energy before reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.
Another school of thought advocates that the bold should be fed and the timid should starve.
Based on the Demonic Techniques, they explored a new path and discovered a method that could rapidly increase one's cultivation level.
That is cannibalism.
Furthermore, they discovered that the stronger a person's resentment, the faster their cultivation would increase after consuming it.
Of course, this also requires the energy conversion of the cultivation method; it's not something you can cultivate simply by eating someone.
With the cultivation of cannibalistic techniques, he quickly advanced to the first batch of Foundation Establishment cannibalistic demonic cultivators.
Their Foundation Establishment speed was more than ten times faster than the normal human-demon advancement speed, which once made many demon cultivators want to join them.
However, after the cannibalistic demon cultivators faced their first tribulation of lightning, they collectively gave up their plans.
Because the lightning tribulations of the cannibalistic demon cultivators were too severe.
Of the hundreds of demonic cultivators who were undergoing tribulation, only two survived.
But it was these two survivors who rewrote the history of cannibalistic demonic cultivators once again.
Because they accidentally discovered during their tribulation that mortals could not only be used for food and cultivation, but also for tribulation!
Thus, through their various experiments, these two individuals gradually invented and perfected a tribulation-crossing mechanism—utilizing the resentment of mortals.
They would subject the people they captured to various forms of extreme torture to fill them with resentment, and then use them to help themselves overcome their tribulations.
His crimes are too numerous to list.
Even more appalling is that as the cannibalistic demon cultivators advance to higher levels and the lightning tribulations become more severe, they require more and more resentment.
In other words, the number of ordinary people who need to be tortured to death by them is increasing.
However, driven by profit, a large number of human demons still choose to join the ranks of cannibalistic cultivators.
And so, the cannibalistic demon cultivators' evil deeds soon aroused the wrath of all demon cultivators in the demon realm.
Before becoming demonic cultivators, most of them were disciples of prestigious sects or ordinary people.
Even though they were banished here because of serious mistakes, most of them are not mentally corrupt.
Unable to accept the cannibals' cultivation practices, they launched a collective attack and extermination against them.
After this massacre, the cannibalistic demon cultivators suffered heavy losses.
But to the surprise of all the demonic cultivators, the cannibalistic demonic cultivators, numbering only a thousand or so, were able to fight to a draw against a large army of demonic cultivators numbering over ten thousand!
This was the first time that the cannibalistic cultivator's astonishing power had been displayed in front of everyone and received unanimous recognition.
The Demon Lord did not want his innocent people to suffer any more, so he went to find the Demon Lord.
After this incident, under pressure from the Demon Lord, the Demon Lord finally forced the Demon Lord to emerge from seclusion and quell the internal strife between humans and demons.
However, since the disagreement had already arisen, the demons had no better solution at the moment and could only temporarily suppress it with force.
The cannibalistic demons remained ruthless, and because they were united, the demons were unable to deal with them for the time being.
Thus, humans and demons split into two factions.
A group of demonic cultivators who refuse to feed on mortals are called human demons.
Another group of demonic cultivators who willingly feed on mortals are called Blood Demons.
But at this moment, the Demon Lord came up with a good idea.
Blood Demons cultivate by feeding on mortals, right? What if... they start by attacking mortals?
Thus, through the combined machinations of the Demon Lord and the Demon Lord, the Blood Demon cultivators finally fell into their trap.
They used some methods to collect a lot of spiritual energy.
They also secretly planted it on many mortals captured by the Blood Demon.
Thus, cultivators who were originally demonic cultivators immediately fell ill and their combat power was greatly reduced after coming into contact with spiritual energy.
It was at this moment that the Demon Lord and the Demon King took action, suppressing him and ensuring he would never have a chance to rise again.
Why suppress them instead of simply annihilating them on the spot?
All because of the two leaders of the Blood Demon.
They planted a trace of their own magic in each of their disciples.
They would immediately sense the death of this disciple.
In order not to alert the enemy and cause unnecessary trouble, the Demon Lord and the Demon King could only advance stealthily, defeating them one by one.
This is a long-term war that requires patience and wisdom.
Fortunately, thanks to their combined efforts, half of the Blood Demon was eventually suppressed without anyone noticing.
Most of them were suppressed, leaving only about one-tenth remaining.
This one-tenth is not actually because the two did not want to eliminate or suppress them.
By this time, the two leaders of the Blood Demon had already sensed that something was wrong.
Furthermore, one of these two has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The demonic cultivation system differs slightly from the spiritual cultivation system.
These are: Qi Condensation → Foundation Establishment → Demon Core → Demon Infant → Deity Transformation → Void Refinement → Body Integration → Tribulation Transcending.
Keep in mind that the Demon Lord at that time was only at the Refinement of Emptiness realm.
However, due to the strength of the human and demon forces, if a real battle were to break out, the Nascent Soul cultivator might not be much weaker than the Void Refinement cultivator.
Not to mention that the Blood Demons are so united.
In that case, both sides will suffer losses and neither will benefit.
However, if the Demon Lord were determined to kill the Blood Demon, it wouldn't be impossible for him.
However, there was an even more important reason that forced the Demon Lord to allow the existence of the Blood Demon.
That is, every 600 years, the demonic energy in the demon realm will disappear for one day.
On that day, their physical condition and combat strength would suffer varying degrees of damage.
Without demonic energy, anyone can come and trample on the demon realm.
Not only would monsters from the nearby forests take the opportunity to attack, but the righteous sects of the cultivation world would also sometimes seize the chance to come in and slaughter them.
As a result, in order to maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord had no choice but to tolerate the existence of the Blood Demons, the highest fighting force.
Of course, this is a common saying in the demon realm, half of which is the truth, and the other half has been deliberately concealed.
In conclusion, the Demon Lord and the Blood Demon reached an agreement.
Blood demons are allowed to exist, but their numbers must be controlled, and they are not allowed to devour large numbers of mortal cultivators.
In this way, the lineage of the Blood Demon was able to continue.
However, due to their appalling cruelty, even though they possess the highest combat power, they are still not favored by the demonic cultivators.
Therefore, naturally, they were ostracized by the demonic cultivators.
Thus, they were driven to the very edge of the Demon Realm.
When Shijin first arrived, the bloody scenes he witnessed were actually from the gathering place of the Blood Demons who had been driven to the border.
Although they say they're driving them away, the blood demons are actually quite happy about it.
The reason is simple: this is not only the border of the Demon Realm.
At the same time, it is also the boundary of the mortal realm.
