Outrageous! I started as the Elf King!

"Sir, have mercy!"

Seeing Lin Yi approaching carrying the crimson demon sword.

The succubus was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and said in a seductive, soft voice, "My name is Nasia. If you will show mercy, I am willing to serve you as your slave for the rest of my life."

Lin Yi said calmly, "Aren't you demons always known for your unyielding spirit and refusal to surrender?"

The succubus Nasia said sweetly, "We demons only follow the strong! Your Majesty possesses unparalleled divine power, having slain the Demon King Isaiah. Nasia's reverence for you is beyond words. If you so desire, Nasia will do anything for you!"

Her eyes were like water, and her figure was stunning.

Her exquisite figure was vaguely visible beneath the sheer long dress.

It is extremely tempting.

However, what responded to her was a blood-red sword light.

With a flash of sword light, Lin Yi's demonic sword pierced the delicate body of the succubus Nasia in an instant.

"Damn elves!"

The succubus Nasia's expression instantly twisted.

Without hesitation, she reached out and grabbed Lin Yi.

Her fingernails grew wildly, sharper than a sword blade, even cutting through space itself.

This was her desperate strike.

Try your best.

However, when they were several tens of centimeters away from Lin Yi, they could no longer move forward even an inch.

Lin Yi did not freeze the spacetime around the succubus Nasia; it was purely the powerful primordial divine power that blocked her attack.

The difference in divine power is too great.

Compared to the winged demon Isaiah, this succubus was utterly powerless against Lin Yi.

"No, don't kill me—"

Suddenly, the succubus Nasia's expression turned to extreme terror.

As a goddess, she could be resurrected and reborn even if her body were pierced or cut into pieces. But at this moment, the demonic sword was frantically devouring her essence.

Once the source is completely devoured.

She couldn't even survive, let alone be resurrected.

It will turn to ashes like the winged demon Isaiah.

The succubus Nasia felt death approaching and kept begging Lin Yi to spare her life.

However, Lin Yi remained unmoved.

This succubus, while verbally surrendering, secretly used the secret arts of the succubus race to attempt to influence his soul.

Although he was destined to fail, his cunning was evident.

Of course, this was not the reason why Lin Yi killed him.

The fundamental reason is that he urgently wants to enhance his divine power and divine status. What is the allegiance of a mere succubus compared to the growth of his own divine power?

Therefore, Lin Yi completely ignored the succubus Nasia's pleas.

He watched indifferently as her alluring body turned to ashes.

With the fall of the succubus Nasia, more than a hundred intermediate-level divine stones were dropped, and several divine artifacts appeared on the spot.

Furthermore, the divine power within Lin Yi's body began to surge once again.

It continued to grow until it reached about 85,000 drops before stopping.

Lin Yi sensed the condition of the divine core within her body and muttered to herself, "My foundation far surpasses that of an ordinary mid-level True God. It would take 100,000 drops of divine power to break through to the late stage of a mid-level True God."

"We are still short 15,000 drops."

"For other gods, these divine powers would require a very long period of arduous cultivation, but for me, it's just a matter of killing another mid-level demon god."

Barring any unforeseen circumstances?

If he kills another enemy comparable to the succubus Nasia, he can directly advance to the late stage of the mid-level True God realm.

Killing people to gain experience is much faster than meditating and practicing asceticism.

"Then there's the absorbed source energy; I'll refine it when I have time."

Refining the essence of the winged demon Isaiah and the succubus Nasia can also increase the amount of divine power within Lin Yi's body.

It's just a bit more troublesome compared to gaining experience.

The essence of both of them needs to be "purified".

Only by obtaining the purest primordial divine power can one devour it.

Otherwise, it will affect Lin Yi herself.

With the collapse of the independent space battlefield.

Lin Yi's figure reappeared in the Demon Nest space.

"Owner!"

The rock demon Bradley, who had been waiting nearby, immediately came forward.

Lin Yi nodded slightly, turning her gaze to the lower-level demons that Bradley had subdued, as well as a group of ordinary demons.

Under Lin Yi's gaze, all the demons, whether gods or ordinary demons, knelt down in unison.

They all kept their heads down, their bodies trembling.

They had clearly seen the battle that had just taken place on the spatial battlefield, and witnessed firsthand how Lin Yi suppressed the winged demon Isaiah and the succubus Nasia.

How could they not be afraid?

Although they had all sworn an oath, Lin Yi hadn't spoken yet, and they were afraid that Lin Yi would kill them all.

This is not impossible.

After all, they are demons.

But at this moment, Lin Yi said, "Now that you have become subjects of my territory, I shall naturally protect you."

"Bravour, Your Majesty the Elf King!"

The demons were immediately thrilled and bowed in gratitude.

To them, Lin Yi's words were like heavenly music.

Lin Yi continued, "Next, I want you to lead the army of demonic creatures to clear out the monsters in the Dark Forest, as well as all evil intelligent races except for the Dark Elves."

"Bradley will arrange the specifics for you."

"We obey your will, Your Majesty the Great Elf King!" the hundred thousand demon legions cried out in unison.

After the demons retreated...

Bradley then handed over all the divine stones and artifacts dropped by the two lower-level demons to Lin Yi.

There are hundreds of divine stones.

However, they are all low-level.

One low-grade divine stone is equivalent to only ten thousand energy crystals. All the stones Lin Yi just revealed were mid-grade divine stones, with a top-grade one worth one hundred thousand.

Lin Yi took the spoils and put them into her personal spatial belt.

He then used the Crimson Demon Sword to devour the corpses of the two lower-level demon gods.

"Master, what is this—"

Bradley's blank expression finally changed.

Lin Yi explained, "This is the power of devouring; it can increase my own divine power by devouring the essence of my enemies."

Upon hearing this...

Bradley immediately said, "Master, the bodies of the nearly twenty demon gods I killed in the Chaotic Plains are stored in one of the demon nests."

"I will go and fetch it for my master shortly."

"Can!"

Lin Yi nodded.

At this moment, Bradley handed over five more Hearts of the Demon Nest, saying, "The rulers of this stronghold's Demon Nest were Isaiah and Nasiah. After they were killed by their master, the Hearts of the Demon Nest became ownerless and can be extracted from the Demon Nest."

Lin Yi accepted the Demon Nest Hearts.

In this way, he would have nineteen Demon Nest Hearts in his possession.

Lin Yi then mentally asked the system, "System, how do I use the Heart of the Demon Nest to transform it into a troop building?"

The system responded quickly.

• [The host can use the Heart of the Demon Nest directly upon entering the territory. Special reminder: The native demon nest will be unable to nurture demons after losing the Heart of the Demon Nest, and will collapse due to energy depletion within a certain period of time.]

Lin Yi thought for a moment, then said in her mind, "Consume one hundred mid-grade divine stones to open up this demon stronghold as my subordinate territory."

【Good host. 】

Before long, the development of the subordinate territories was completed.

The entire demon stronghold is included within Lin Yi's affiliated territory, and territory buildings can be constructed on any open space.

Lin Yi then took out a Demon Nest Heart from her spatial belt.

Soon, information came into his view.

This wasn't available before.

Just as the system said, the Heart of the Demon Nest can only be "activated" within the territory.

This is a special item.

It is a more advanced species than the Tree of Life.

Heart of the Demon's Nest

[Attribute: Abyss]

[Information Description: This is the core of a demon's lair used to breed demons. Using it will grant you a demon lair building.]

[Construction Cost: 10,000 Energy Crystals]

Lin Yi immediately left the Demon Nest space and came to the outside world.

I randomly picked an empty spot and chose to use it.

Amidst a dazzling golden light, the Heart of the Demon Nest rapidly blurred, then transformed into a dark, phantom-like building that appeared before Lin Yi.

About half a minute.

The phantom image transformed into a real building.

It looks completely different from the demon's lair; it resembles a temple instead.

【Demon's Nest】

[Building Information: Exclusive unit building for the Abyss Demon race]

[Level: Low]

[Trainable Units: Demons (Random Type)]

[Daily training limit: 10]

Unit evolution probability: 1%

[Building Upgrade Requirement: 100,000 Energy Crystals]

[Special Note: Upgrading the Demon Nest increases the daily training capacity of demon units and also increases the probability of demon evolution.]

Looking at the information about the Demon Nest~

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yi decisively consumed 111 intermediate-level divine stones to directly upgrade the Demon Nest to the top level.

After reaching the highest level, the Demon Nest still trains randomly selected demons of various types, but the number of demons trained increases to two hundred, just like the daily training at the Ancient Tree and Moon Lake.

The probability of unit evolution has also increased from one percent to ten percent.

Another point is that recruiting demons is more expensive than recruiting top-tier units like unicorns, treant warriors, and forest giants.

One requires 50,000 energy crystals.

In other words, if Lin Yi summons at full capacity every day, this one demon nest alone would consume a full ten million energy crystals.

If we use up the remaining Demon Nest Hearts we have...

It consumes 190 million energy crystals a day.

We can't afford to hire them, we simply can't afford to!

Lin Yi turned to look at the rock demon Bradley, who stood respectfully beside her, and asked, "How many demons can your demon clan's lair spawn in a day?"

The Rock Demon Bradley said, "Reporting to my master, it depends on the amount of flesh and blood essence invested. The more you invest, the more demons will be spawned."

"Using an ordinary human corpse as an example."

"Normally, a million human corpses can give birth to ten thousand demons, and the gestation period is generally seven days."

Lin Yi took a breath.

Isn't this more fragrant than the crystals that are nurtured by consuming energy?

Next, the demon legion will begin clearing the Dark Forest, which will inevitably yield a large number of bodies, perfect for nurturing demons.

Then the Rock Demon Bradley added, "However, those bred from the Demon Nest are all ordinary demons."

"Pure-blooded demons are naturally reproduced."

This is also a weakness of the native Demon Nest.

The demon nest unit buildings that cannot breed the more powerful pure-blooded demon Lin Yi do not have this deficiency.

If a demon undergoes bloodline evolution during its gestation process, it can directly ascend to become a pure-blooded demon. [Seeking monthly votes, full subscriptions, and support.]
