Chapter 1922: Chapter 178: Return of the Dragon King!
Although Little Saint Master Wang Liyao of Lingyun Holy Ground has already reported to the Immortal Palace, requesting a batch of Demon Crystals, some impatient King of Zhennan decided to stealthily acquire some Demon Crystals to restore his strength and initially probe the demonic clan’s situation before implementing his “Return of the Dragon King” plan.
This is why the King of Zhennan transformed into the Dragon Blood Demon God and appeared here.
The human race and the demonic clan are fundamentally different species, with vast differences in racial tendencies, social structure, cultural understanding, and customs. Moreover, it is very difficult for either side to infiltrate the other’s camp. After all, nobody is foolish, and each side has various detection devices to handle such situations.
It can be said that even after all these millennia of warfare, there are still significant limitations and biases in their understanding of each other.
The King of Zhennan has lived for over two thousand years and has been to the battlefield countless times, yet this is the first time he experienced the civilization structure of the demonic clan from a different perspective.
As it turns out, the bottom society of those vicious outside demons appears like this.
“Gulp gulp!”
The lower-ranked demon was initially flustered and then suddenly exploded with intense light in its eyes.
After the recent experience, it has deeply understood that without power, its whole life would be oppressed and die in vain. And the upper-ranked demon before it was its best opportunity.
It crawled forward, kissing the back of the King of Zhennan’s foot, expressing its submission and allegiance in the way unique to demons.
“Very well. Let’s see how far you can go. Even if it’s just to cause some trouble for the demonic clan.”
The King of Zhennan’s massive dragon claw suddenly gripped the head of the lower-ranked demon, pure energy poured into its body.
At the same time, he separated a drop of essence blood from the dragon blood demon god’s demonic body and merged it into the body of the lower-ranked demon.
This drop of god’s essence blood is no ordinary thing, and it also incurs significant loss to the demon god itself. Normally, a demon god would carefully consider and evaluate before bestowing essence blood to its subordinates.
But the King of Zhennan had no such concerns.
After all, he was just an undercover, and he wouldn’t stay in the demonic clan for too long. This body was not his true form; he could waste it however he pleased.
After completing the mission, he could return gloriously to pursue Luomei.
Until then, naturally, he would bury as many traps in the demonic clan as possible, which is also a method of being undercover.
In an instant.
The aura of that lower-ranked demon changed.
A majestic and vast aura erupted from its body.
From blood to bones, then to muscle tissues and scales… Amidst a chilling sound of bone friction, it underwent a complete transformation inside and out.
A pair of membrane wings grew from its back, its limbs evolved into ferocious dragon claws, and at a glance, its appearance became somewhat similar to the dragon blood demon god, just a much weaker version.
“Roar!”
Under the extreme pain, the lower-ranked demon let out an uncontrolled roar.
This roar was like the ancient demonic dragon’s rage, shaking the entire camp violently, and many nearby lower demons were overawed, kneeling.
“Lowly scum, how dare you…”
The overseer of this batch of miners sensed the commotion and angrily stormed in.
However, it was only halfway through its curse, and the bone whip in its hand had just been raised when it got slapped and sent flying by the now incomparable lower-ranked demon.
This head was only equivalent to the early stage of the Heavenly Human Realm of the human race, but the lower-ranked demon transformed by god’s blood had its aura still continuously rising, and its strength was no less than at least the later stage of the Heavenly Human Realm.
Moreover, this didn’t seem to be its limit.
How overbearing was the effect of the god’s essence blood? Normally, it would keep awakening until its strength was roughly equivalent to the Purple Abode Realm of the human race before stopping.
Its potential would also be greatly enhanced. If fortunate enough to acquire sufficient resources and if it put in enough effort, it might even cross into the Demonic King level in its lifetime.
The simple shack had long collapsed during the awakening process, and the entire miner camp was drawn to the commotion.
Unconsciously, a circle of demonic overseers gathered around.
A multitude of gazes converged on the lower-ranked demon, with fear and also envy and jealousy in those eyes.
Yet none dared to come forward rashly.
Suddenly.
A formidable aura of a Demonic General descended from the sky, enveloping the entire scene with its imposing presence.
Following that, a burly demon with purple eyes appeared in the sky, quickly landing with a flap of its wings.
“Greetings, Purple-eyed Demon General,” the surrounding overseers saluted one after another.
It turned out to be one of the many demon generals under the Unicorn Overlord’s command, the Purple-eyed Demon General.
The Purple-eyed Demon General’s purple eyes revealed a peculiar shine, giving the lower-ranked demon a glance, and its eyes became complicated: “Quite fortunate, awakening to the noble dragon bloodline, and it seems rather pure. What a pity, the dragon blood lineage has long lacked a demon god… What’s your name?”
The lower-ranked demon lowered its eyes, too afraid to look at it.
It had heard of the Purple-eyed Demon General. Rumor had it, he was an extremely ruthless general, where demons under his hand, death was already the best fate.
It cowered, meekly answering, “I have no name.”
“Indeed, lower-ranked demons have no names,” the Purple-eyed Demon General’s voice was exceptionally gentle and mild, “Then come with me to pay your respects to the Unicorn Overlord, who will personally bestow a name upon you. If there’s no accident, in the future, you and I will both be demon generals under the Unicorn Overlord.”
