CHAPTER 525: CHAPTER 314: JUNIOR BROTHER, CAN YOU ACT LIKE A HUMAN?

"No wonder that girl is so arrogant in front of Jin Shan..."

She shrank her neck, feeling a bit uneasy in her heart.

As a part of the Human Clan, it’s hard to imagine the world of the Demon Race and Spiritual Beasts. In their world, strength is not the foremost priority, but bloodline is. This innate restraint and fear engraved in one’s bloodline cannot be altered.

It’s already like an instinct embedded in the DNA, much like ordinary livestock which have never encountered apex predators like lions, tigers, or bears, yet once they smell these scents, they’re terrified and flee.

Even a very young lion or tiger, most poultry will instinctively detour when they catch their scent, unless forced, they would dare to act.

"No wonder everyone’s thinking about transforming. Seeing it this way, Sister Lu Luo was born a Brahmin. No wonder she ran from the Demon Race all the way to the Central Plains, to the foot of the Purple Cloud Palace without incident. It seems no one dared to cause trouble..."

Feeling a bit uneasy in her heart.

However, at the same time, she couldn’t help but feel strange, because in her understanding, someone seemed to have done the exact opposite.

Demon Night True Monarch.

The guy parasitizing in his own Dantian.

He was originally the most intellectually advanced of the Human Clan, and successfully climbed to the top within the Human Clan, known as one of the Human Emperors, but several hundred years ago, he suddenly defected from the Human Clan due to certain matters and willingly embraced the Demon Race.

Then he actually transformed himself completely into a demon.

The "demon" here is not in a derogatory sense but a real Demon Beast. His actions can only be described as outrageous; clearly the most spiritually intelligent human, he forcefully turned himself into a serpent.

After becoming a Demon Beast, he transformed back into a human, and even planned to further transform into a dragon. Not only that, but he left his bloodline in the Demon Race’s realm.

Although Jiang Feng was very reluctant to admit that he was a part of the Demon Night True Monarch, the reality was that his current physical body was just a shell crafted by someone else, just...

If one day Xin Yue suddenly missed her father and called him dad, he wouldn’t be surprised at all.

Seeing her junior apprentice’s thoughtful expression, she simply remarked: "Perhaps it’s to touch that line."

"Line?"

The two of them were of one mind, often discussing at home the relics left by the Demon Lord and his bizarre behavioral logic. Liu Xianzi seemed to look slightly fatigued, perhaps due to a misconception.

"The limitations of the Human Clan already bounded him."

"Indeed, the Human Clan possesses infinite possibilities and potential. It’s commonplace within a mere hundred years to cultivate from nothing to become a peerless expert. In contrast, other races don’t seem to have as many advantages."

"For so many years, the wars between the Human Clan and the Demon Race have been countless, yet not once ended with the Demon Race’s victory, because the two are not of the same magnitude."

"In simple terms, it takes merely a century for the Human Clan to cultivate a group of experts. A batch of talented disciples can reach the Divinity Transformation and even the Void Refining Period within a century."

"There are even experts who reach the Body Integration Realm within a hundred years. But for Demon Beasts, it takes them several times, if not dozens of times longer."

"Indeed, the Demon Race holds an edge over the Human Clan at the same realm, having stronger talent and physique, but their cultivation speed is worrying, relying solely on the most fundamental breathing techniques."

"Every time in battle, while the Human Clan suffers great losses and even experiences power vacuums, the Demon Race requires even longer to recover."

"But as I said, this Cultivation World is fair. Although Xiao Qing’s cultivation can’t fully be considered in the Divinity Transformation Stage yet, she’s fearless against masters of the Divinity Transformation Stage."

"When I say Divinity Transformation, I don’t mean the initial grade, but mid-grade and above. If she can successfully transform and learn the Human Clan’s Cultivation Technique..."

"She could have a head-on confrontation with Void Refining Period cultivators."

Drawing a cold breath.

He had anticipated that if Demon Beasts, with their unique physiques, managed to transform, they’d surely have an edge over cultivators at the same realm, but never imagined it’d be this terrifying.

"Of course, not all Demon Beasts are like this. Xiao Qing’s bloodline is among the best in the entire Demon Race, naturally giving her an edge. But if you encounter Demon Race experts in the future, especially those at the same realm as you, never underestimate them."

"Similarly, using the aforementioned as a reference, one cannot deduce why the Demon Night True Monarch chose to abandon his Human Clan identity and turn to the Demon Race."

"Naturally, there are many internal secrets. Given that demon’s status, to be so ostracized within the Human Clan, facing enmity from the entire world is quite bizarre, and no one reveals the details, merely that everyone seems to tacitly adhere to a certain rule."

"Another part pertains to why he abandoned being human, transforming into a serpent — perhaps much of the reason is to break through limits."

"Previously, although Yan Ruyu was one of the Immortal Monarchs in the Human Clan, he wasn’t the standout. Among those few, he could only be considered the lowest tier. But ever since he defected to the Demon Race and gave up his human form, he transformed entirely, especially when he transformed from human to beast."

"After transforming from beast to human once more, then transforming into a dragon, the hardships are unspeakable. You’ve seen with your own eyes the near-oceanic Spiritual Energy within your Dantian and know how terrifying it is."

"A Grotto Heaven, a Fangcun Mountain, under the might of the Demon Lord, couldn’t hold out for even half a moment, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg of his abilities."
