From the waste of spiritual roots to the practice of asking the devil.

"It's a long story."

Wang Yu sighed.

"Back then, the Heavenly Desolate Demon Army dispatched thirty-six First Tribulation Loose Demons. I did my best to barely hold them off, and managed to delay until reinforcements from within the clan arrived, at which point I killed the Heavenly Desolate Commander."

"Unfortunately, I was also severely injured and had to return to the Flame Demon Realm to recuperate and recover from my injuries."

"So that's how it is. No wonder the Second Elder of the Flame Demon only said that you were fine, and refused to reveal any other details."

Moku sighed and patted Wang Yu on the shoulder.

He said apologetically.

"Thanks to you, my good brother!"

Wang Yu pretended not to understand.

"Brother, what are you saying? I have already heard that it was three Seven Tribulation Scattered Demon seniors under the command of the Burning Silence Demon Emperor who assisted the sect in quelling the crisis in Tianhuang. How could I claim credit for them?"

Moku was speechless.

However, he knew in his heart that his own strength was too weak at the time, and he preferred to develop and accumulate strength in secret, which did not conform to the situation that the Burning Silence Demon Emperor wanted.

He knew in his heart that things couldn't continue like this.

However, he was also troubled by his lack of strength and the absence of any powerful figures under his command who could stand alone. Most of them were Dao Integration cultivators, whose level seemed acceptable at first glance.

However, they are no match for the Blood Spirit Royal Family.

Lacking both strength and manpower, they hesitated to act even when they had the intention to cause trouble, until Wang Yu appeared.

Out of caution, Moku let him try.

Unexpectedly, this completely enraged the Blood Spirit Royal Family, attracting the attention of the Heavenly Desolate Realm Lord, who assembled an army to wipe out the "banditry," namely the Demon Horn Sect.

He didn't find out until much later.

Wang Yu, in his true form as the True Flame King, seized six or seven eighth-tier resource points protected by the Blood Spirit Royal Family. Who could tolerate that? At the time, Wang Yu had only handed over one resource point.

He didn't want to say anything more about the shady dealings involved.

after all.

The final result was good. Zhenyan Wang's actions and fame brought him full investment from Fenji Demon Emperor, who provided him with strong individuals, large numbers, magical treasures, resources, and so on.

At this moment, the return of the True Flame King, even if he is no longer the second demon in the sect, is still an excuse for him to continue to demand benefits.

therefore.

As for brotherhood and such, just take it with a grain of salt.

If one truly wants to maintain a long-term relationship, it still depends on strength and interests. Cultivators who are not on the same level, even if they have a brief and harmonious relationship, will not be able to maintain it for long and will eventually part ways.

"Oh, right."

"There are rumors among the Flame Demon Clan that you stole a semi-immortal treasure from their clan and have been expelled from the clan, no longer considered a demon of the same race. Is this true?"

Wang Yu chuckled.

"The clan is used to being cautious. Knowing that I was going to serve the sect, they spread rumors in advance to exclude me from the Flame Demon Clan. The clan still supports the sect, but the pressure is too great, so they have no choice but to act this way. Can you understand, brother?"

"I see. It's enough for you to know about this, brother. With a prodigy like you, brother, I, the Flame Demon Clan, will naturally not doubt your sincerity."

"It's been almost a century since I last saw you, my virtuous brother, your cultivation has improved..."

Wang Yu laughed heartily.

"By a stroke of luck, after recovering from my injuries, I managed to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage and am now at the same level as my elder brother."

Upon hearing this, Moku feigned modesty and said...

"Not bad, not bad."

"However, your elder brother has received the full support of the Demon Emperor over the years. These powerful figures possess treasures that can assist in overcoming tribulations, and have already broken through three tribulations with them. My younger brother still needs to work hard. At that time, I can also ask for credit for you and borrow treasures to overcome your tribulations!"

"I understand."

After a detailed discussion, Wang Yu successfully integrated into the sect.

He continued to inquire about the current situation of the Primordial Demon Realm, after all, he had spent nearly a hundred years returning to the Vast Expanse to undergo tribulation and dealing with many miscellaneous matters.

A century is both a short and a long time.

At the turbulent end of the era, many unexpected and crucial turning points could occur.

Moku took out the intelligence jade slips accumulated in the archives over the years, and verbally answered Wang Yu's questions, explaining them in detail.

Currently.

The Origin Demon Realm has three factions: one is the Blood Spirit Royal Family, which consists of all the bloodline demons, and the other is a group of powerful demons who have surrendered.

The second one, nominally led by the "Demon Treasury" of the Heavenly Horned Demon Clan, was in reality a puppet cultivated by the Burning Silence Demon Emperor. It gathered more than a dozen Demon Emperors and controlled the lower-level demons and a large number of powerful demons who were dissatisfied with the Blood Spirit's rule.

This group of demons varies in strength, but in terms of current combat power, they are generally inferior to the bloodline demons because they were severely suppressed in the past, resulting in limited racial foundation and a limited number of strong individuals.

If they could be nurtured over a longer period, there would be a reason for them to succeed. Currently, their apparent strength is entirely due to those Demon Emperors.

In a direct, head-on clash, they would most likely lose to the Blood Spirit faction. However, the Demon Emperor's methods are mysterious, and each of them has lived longer than some races have existed.

He not only possesses all sorts of strange and unusual secret techniques, but also has a wealth of previously unknown intelligence. He is quite knowledgeable when it comes to cultivating talent.

Therefore, over the course of a century, numerous powerful figures and prodigies have emerged who have overturned the established order, and many of these rising stars are from among the suppressed demon race.

With their bloodline potential already established, and having reached the pinnacle in the endless years of the Demon Realm, they seized the opportunity again when given the chance.

Moku did not disclose much about the specific training methods.

It was only stated that it would not be very effective for those in the Tribulation Transcending stage, and could only be used to cultivate Dao Integration beings in batches. Whether they could break through to the Mahayana stage would depend on whether they had the potential.

The third faction is the Ancient Demon faction.

This faction consists entirely of descendants of ancient demons, including not only those familiar to Wang Yu such as the [Life Clan], [Desire Clan], [Yin Clan], [Gu Clan], [Kill Clan], and [Ice Clan], but also others.

There were also races he wasn't very familiar with, such as the [Yan Clan], [Shi Clan], [Xu Clan], and [Huang Clan].

The descendants of the ancient demons use the names of their ancestors as their clan name. The earliest Origin Demon Realm was also the territory of the ancient demons. They were born in response to the great calamity of heaven and earth and broke free from the predetermined cage.

They developed self-awareness beyond killing.

This is the Ancient Demon.

This is also the fundamental reason why they are immortal and indestructible. Since the entire Primordial Demon Realm cannot be erased, they will forever coexist with this world.

The demon race that emerged later was a completely different matter.

all in all.

Both the Blood Spirit faction and the Overthrow faction harbor strong hostility and vigilance towards the Ancient Demon faction, as it is well known that a triangular structure is the most stable.

The situation in the Demon Realm is deadlocked, with neither side daring to start a war. The influence of the Ancient Demon faction accounts for 60% of the outcome.

A stalemate lasting nearly a century.

The shrinking territory imposed on the Blood Spirit Royal Family put immense pressure on them, and the prolonged absence of a full-scale war led to the emergence of many fence-sitters among the top demon races.

They will not rashly take sides before the outcome is clear.

Wang Yu and Moku talked for a long time in the Devouring God Palace.

He didn't even get a chance to meet the sect's higher-ups after the complete overhaul before hurriedly entering the meditation room to use magic to contact the Flame Demon Clan and exchange information.

Firstly, to pinpoint the location of Blood Spirit's First Prince, Lu Cangqiong; secondly, to immediately set up a plan, as the Blood Spirit camp was under immense pressure and would most likely need to seek reinforcements.

Winning over those powerful clans that have been suppressed would perfectly meet their needs.

As for...

Although the True Flame King has been stripped of his Flame Demon Clan identity in name, everyone with eyes can see what's really going on. As long as Wang Yu obediently returns, he can immediately prove the Flame Demon Clan's sincerity.

In exchange for the qualification to comprehend the [Primal Magic Runes], it was a huge win. After all, he had no morals, and he could easily take the benefits and then betray them without any pressure.

Just as Wang Yu was contacting the Flame Demon Clan...

…………

At the same time.

The Blood Sea World, the Blood Spirit Palace.

The current "Blood Emperor" sat high on the throne of the Demon Realm Emperor, his eyes sweeping over the kings below with disdain, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

"Gentlemen... the most critical moment for our clan is approaching. Do you have any plans to deal with it?"

Several days ago.

Intelligence reports indicate that the Demon Emperors, led by Fenji, have located the secret treasure left behind by the Heavenly Horn Royal Family based on the bloodline of the Demon Treasury.

One of the scrolls records the method of crafting a certain secret treasure. This scroll was created at the end of the reign of the Heavenly Horned Demon Emperor.

At that time, the Blood Spirit Demon Clan's rebellion was about to reach its final battle before victory, and the two sides fought in the Fertile Plains of the [Sky Corner Great World].

In order to win this crucial war.

The key lies in the method of crafting the [Blood-Slaying Sacred Scissors] recorded on the scroll. Unfortunately, back then, the method of crafting this secret treasure to counter the Blood Spirit Demon Clan was lost.

The effort had already exhausted most of the Heavenly Horn Demon Clan's experts, and the finished product was at least at the Immortal Treasure level. Despite their intensive refining, they still couldn't make it in time for the final battle at Woye Plain.

finally.

The news of the defeat caused the powerful figures in charge of crafting the weapon to lose their composure. Regrettably, they only managed to craft a half-finished product. In their haste, they could only arrange for members of the royal family to take the crafting scroll away.

Several powerful beings from the Heavenly Horn Realm, carrying the unfinished [Blood-Slicing Sacred Scissors], fought against numerous Blood Spirit experts. That battle was earth-shattering, and the casualties on the Blood Spirit experts were no less than those in the final battle.

To know.

On one side is war, on the other is pursuit!

Not only did they have an absolute advantage in numbers, but the Blood Spirit Clan was also stronger on paper. Yet they suffered such a humiliating defeat, even though they ultimately killed those powerful Heavenly Horned Ones.

The existence of the Blood-Slicing Holy Scissors still made them uneasy, and subsequently, Shi Guang relentlessly slaughtered the remaining members of the Heavenly Horn Sect at all costs.

Then, a magic cube appeared.

The claim that he was converted into a Dharma Protector King by Buddhism many years ago and only escaped by being rescued by a demon spy seems more like a plan laid out countless years in advance.

At this moment.

Inside the Blood Spirit Palace, facing the Blood Emperor's questions.

Many powerful figures who had been granted the title of King remained silent, for the "Blood-Severing Sacred Scissors" not only restrained the Blood Spirit Clan, but also exerted a restraining effect on all blood-type demon races.

No one wanted to take on this task rashly.

In case of failure.

Not only would they die, but their entire clan would be branded as a sinner, forever infamous. The risk was too great, and no one dared to take it.

The current Blood Emperor met these Blood Kings who were related by blood.

He didn't dare utter a single word, and a hint of disappointment inevitably appeared in his eyes. He had always known that it was impossible to control the entire Origin Demon Realm by using blood ties as a bond.

However, one of the Blood Spirit Demon race's innate abilities is the ability to draw power from bloodlines of the same origin and lineage, and can even forcibly take someone's place if necessary.

therefore.

Whether it was the Blood Spirit Sages or the successive generations of Blood Emperors who appeared one after another, they all knew that suppressing powerful demons and supporting bloodline demons was a short-lived strategy.

But ultimately, the demon race speaks through strength.

As long as we can support more Blood Spirit Demon Emperors, then everything is worthwhile. Even if a rebellion occurs, we can suppress it with sheer strength.

The Blood Spirit Clan has come a long way over the years.

The Blood Emperor believes this time will be the same!
A moment of silence.

He took the initiative to speak: "We must proceed in all three directions, Blood King, obey my command."

"Your subordinate is here."

"You shall select a team of Nine Tribulations Scattered Demons, led by the Demon Emperor of the Nether River, and make sure to destroy the scroll that records the method of refining the Blood-Slicing Sacred Scissors."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

"Bloodthirsty King, you shall select a group of intelligent demons who are proficient in cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities and know more than ten thousand secret methods to deduce a way to counter the Blood-Slaying Holy Scissors. If necessary, you may ask the Blood Spirit Demon Emperor for assistance."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

"Blood Bone King, you are in charge of sending a signal to the suppressed demons, saying that the great calamity is coming, and in order for the demons to safely overcome this calamity, the royal family will release a batch of qualifications to comprehend the [Primal Demonic Runes]. Each race can select the most talented geniuses and prodigies in their race to cultivate in the Blood Sea Great World."

All three strategies are very purposeful.

The first two are self-explanatory, but the third order can not only win over a group of powerful demons, but also hold those geniuses and prodigies as hostages.

Whether to send gifts or not, and how to select participants.

These are all problems that the demon race needs to face, and they can also reduce the number of powerful demons that can be won over by the overthrowing faction, thus indirectly weakening the enemy.

The three strategies provided clear direction for the Bloodline Kings.

The plan was quickly put into implementation.

After the Council of Kings, the Blood Emperor personally paid a visit to the Ancestor and requested that several Demon Emperors emerge from seclusion and secretly follow the team of the Dark River Demon Emperor.

The task of destroying the weapon-refining scroll was just bait.

after all.

The information transmitted by espionage has a certain time delay. The Burning Silence Demon Emperor must have already obtained the scroll and memorized its contents.

and so.

The Blood Emperor's true objective was to locate the location where the opponent was refining the Blood-Slaying Sacred Scissors, destroy the scissors they were refining, and then launch a thunderous offensive to eliminate the deep-seated problem and resolve any future troubles.

As for the Demon Emperor who overturned the faction, he didn't have a good solution. He could only use the existence of other Demon Emperors to stall for time, so that neither could kill the other.

Or perhaps there was no need to go to such extremes.

They are all demon emperors, and their ideologies may conflict, but it hasn't escalated to a life-or-death struggle. Even if all the demons were to die in battle, as long as the many demon emperors are still alive...

They can still easily restore their tribe to its heyday!

……

a few days later.

Following Moku's instructions, Wang Yu went to attend a banquet held by a faction that was overthrowing the enemy. The venue was the ancient arena in the Devouring God Great World.

The main purpose of this trip is to introduce "True Flame King" to the geniuses and powerful figures under the command of the Burning Silence Demon Emperor. Since cooperation is inevitable in the future, it is necessary to get to know him in advance.

Another aspect is establishing one's position within the sect.

therefore.

The powerful and talented individuals who participate in the cause of upheaval often represent the clans behind them, and how to deal with them requires careful consideration.

Wang Yu didn't think too much about it.

He still needs the position of Executive Vice Leader, just like the last duel between the First Prince and Chang Wuhen, which was interrupted due to the Demon Emperor's battle.

The struggle for destiny has continued to the Demon Emperor in his duel.

After the Demon Emperor of Burning Silence wins, this good fortune will naturally be bestowed upon the entire overthrowing camp.

The same reason.

Those who gain a higher position within the sect will also receive a considerable amount of good fortune based on their position and contributions if they win in the future.

This mysterious and profound fortune is very beneficial for overcoming the three tribulations of Heaven, Earth, and Man. (End of Chapter)
