Chapter 99: [Not acting like a human, do you care about this?] (Second update, seeking)
His in-law, the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor, seemed to be in a not-so-good situation.
First, one thing must be clarified.
The demon race has never been a monolithic block, never a single voice.
Regarding the title "demon race," it was added by the human race to other races besides themselves.
This is a collective term.
Within the demon race, it is divided into various races, and between them, some even have blood feuds, and they are generational great feuds.
From this, one can imagine what kind of feat the joint counterattack of the demon race in the Northern Wilderness Domain was.
The four great demon emperors of Wanyao Mountain unifying the demon race forces in the Northern Wilderness Domain, what kind of courage and means this is.
Looking at the history recorded in the Northern Wilderness Domain, such a thing had never happened before; the demon race fought each other, while the human race multiplied crazily, eventually becoming the most powerful existence among all races.
Of course, the human race itself is the easiest individual to cultivate between heaven and earth, while most demon races have a very difficult cultivation process, slow progress, and are limited by bloodline.
While the human race basically does not have the above shortcomings.
The influence of spirit roots is only one aspect; under a large base, the number of human powerhouses is enough to rival the sum of all other races, which is the result of the joint efforts of generations of humans.
And any other single demon race group cannot achieve this point.
Only by uniting can they achieve the current situation.
But the trajectory of history is always similar, just like after the human race occupied the main position, various sects began to fight for power and resources among themselves.
After the demon race controlled the entire Northern Wilderness Domain, cracks began to appear between various races due to uneven distribution of spoils.
Originally, Wanyao Mountain had four great demon emperors, but the Phoenix Cry Demon Emperor died, and the special status originally held by his race vanished.
Among the many demon emperors, the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor, Lu Chengtong's in-law, was respected as the Myriad Demon Emperor. The Rending Heaven Demon Emperor initially came forward to protect the interests of the Phoenix Cry Demon Emperor's race, but after only a few years, his majesty was no longer enough to deter those restless demon races below.
Many resources in the Phoenix Cry Demon Emperor's race were taken away by various means of open robbery and secret theft.
These races all looked like very ordinary races, but in fact, behind them were the other two demon emperors besides the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor.
The Rending Heaven Demon Emperor's original body race was the Rending Heaven Devouring Dragon Ant, while the other two demon emperors, the Chi Dragon Demon Emperor and the Ten Thousand Jun Demon Emperor, had original body races of Chi Dragon Worm and Ten Thousand Jun Dragon Elephant.
The latter two both had dragon bloodlines, and although the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor's race also had dragon bloodlines, they fed on dragon-blooded demonic beasts to enhance their own bloodlines.
The Rending Heaven Demon Emperor was able to suppress the other three great demon emperors to become the Myriad Demon Emperor, and the strength of his bloodline was unquestionable, and this strength was built on the bones of dragon-blooded demon races such as the Chi Dragon Worm and Ten Thousand Jun Dragon Elephant.
Previously, the conflict between the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor and the other two demon emperors was mediated by the Phoenix Cry Demon Emperor.
Due to various reasons, a temporarily stable situation was eventually formed.
But now, the external contradictions were gone, and the Phoenix Cry Demon Emperor was dead, so the internal contradictions became very sharp.
In the past few years, the forces of the other two great demon emperors expanded rapidly, and the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor also felt the crisis and began to recruit subordinates.
Originally, he had no confidence in recruiting Lu Chengtong, this nominal true dragon descendant, Taotie descendant; after all, the Rending Heaven Devouring Dragon Ant had a reputation outside, and which dragon-blooded demonic beast would dare to be close to them.
As a result, Lu Chengtong actually took the initiative to propose marriage, and he immediately agreed.
This move was precisely to let those dragon-blooded demon races see that his attitude toward the dragon-blooded demon races was very sincere.
The ones who had previously tried their best to invite Lu Chengtong to take a position in Wanyao City were actually the subordinates of the other two demon emperors; now the one who recruited him in was the subordinate of the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor, so he became a member of the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor's camp.
Quite a few dragon-blooded demon races secretly slandered him, saying that he had betrayed his own bloodline.
Lu Chengtong turned a deaf ear to this; after all, he wasn't acting like a human anymore, so would he care about this?
Strengthening the family is the foundation!
The position arranged for him by the Rending Heaven Demon Emperor was the Deputy Director of the Inspection Division. The Director was a Nascent Soul stage demon king, who himself was of the Rending Heaven Devouring Dragon Ant race; by seniority, he was considered the younger brother of his son's father-in-law, so this was one family.
The duty of the Inspection Division was to inspect whether there were demon races in the demon race that bullied humans and other races, and to conduct improper behaviors including robbery.
This is a position that offends people, the kind that directly maximizes the hatred of various demon races.
Among the demon race, occasionally eating a human is a very normal thing; at worst, occasionally eating another demon race is also very reasonable.
But after establishing unified management, theoretically speaking, all people are equal. The Rending Heaven Demon Emperor knew that this was the foundation of stability; once the opening was made, internal strife could destroy their thousand-year plan in the blink of an eye.
But wanting to completely prohibit disputes and hunting behaviors between each other is impossible.
Therefore, the Inspection Division needs to find a subtle balance point to maintain the rule of Wanyao City.
Would Lu Chengtong care about these?
Obviously, he didn't care; he only thought about how to fish for benefits!
Year 620 of the Supernatural Era, his son Ao Yiqing married wives and took concubines, and Lu Chengtong also took the job in the Inspection Division in this year.
Four years later, Ao Yiqing's main wife, the Rending Heaven Devouring Dragon Ant race wife Rending Heaven Jingting, gave birth to their first child, and after that, his other wives and concubines gave birth to one every year, very regularly.
Lu Chengtong had been suppressing his cultivation, forbidding him from breaking through, until he had his tenth child, only then did he allow him to swallow heaven-defying treasures.
In the same year, which was year 634 of the Supernatural Era, Ao Yiqing's cultivation began to improve crazily.
In one month, he reached the late Golden Core stage, and four months later, he stepped into the Nascent Soul stage.
This cultivation was almost catching up to his old man.
Lu Chengtong's cultivation had also increased sharply in these few years.
He used the power in his hands to seize and plunder from various demon races, and also occupied many treasure resources from human immortal sects such as the Feathering Immortal Sect, and through the 【Swallowing Heaven and Earth】 supernatural power, he raised his cultivation realm to the late Nascent Soul stage perfection in one fell swoop.
Recently, he was planning to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage.
This supernatural power is too strong; as long as there are resources, there is no bottleneck in improving cultivation, especially since Lu Chengtong himself also has the 【Embryonic Transformation】 and 【Size as Desired】 supernatural powers, which can better and faster digest everything.
Relatively speaking, Ao Yiqing, who also mastered this innate supernatural power, was a bit inferior.
Before stepping into the Nascent Soul stage, he could still digest quickly and transform cultivation, but after stepping into the Nascent Soul stage, the improvement speed was far inferior to before.
Of course, even if the cultivation speed slowed down, it was still something that other demon races were incomparably shocked and envious of.
As everyone knows, the cultivation speed of the demon race is far inferior to that of humans.
The lifespan of the demon race is usually very long, while their cultivation speed is very slow.
It is mainly manifested as the improvement speed in the early stage far exceeding that of humans, and in the later stage, especially in the stage close to the bloodline bottleneck, the cultivation speed is far lower than that of the human race.
Most demon races, after forming a core, cultivation begins to be very slow.
And if the cultivation speed is still fast, there is only one possibility: their bloodline is very noble! ===== CHAPTER 100 =====
