Chapter 810 - 674: Unconventional Nourishment
The Demon Emperor, the supreme being among the Demon Clan, stands at the pinnacle of the hierarchy within the vast world of Hanhai, surpassing all the Demon Kings.
Ultimately, they may ascend to the higher realms, and even when compared to those legendary powerhouses from myths, they are not much different.
The Demon Emperor’s bloodline can be considered one of the most powerful bloodlines in existence.
Although Lou Yi considers himself fearless of any bloodline,
he still must prepare and strategize with great caution regarding the mysterious half-dragon of the Half-Dragon Valley.
"What are you searching for here?" Lou Yi asked.
The Innate Pure Qi was crafted by a True Monarch of the Human Race and has always been ineffective for the Demon Clan. Could it be that the Demon Clan found a way to utilize it?
"According to feedback from clansmen who entered earlier, in some remote areas of the True Monarch Blessed Land, there are unique items that enhance vitality.
They are volatile and contain a lot of toxins, making them unsuitable for the weak human bodies and difficult to refine into elixirs.
However, they are suitable for our demon clan with strong physical bodies, as the toxins can help sharpen ourselves and break through bottlenecks..."
The Thousand-legged Insect Demon spoke with a hint of pride.
But upon reflection, it realized that the human in front of them seemed physically stronger than their own demon clan, and its tone weakened.
’A treasure that can enhance qi-blood?’ Lou Yi thought, his eyes brightening as he was troubled about where to find the means to increase his strength.
As for the toxins mentioned by the Thousand-legged Insect Demon, he completely ignored them.
"Where are the other demons?"
"The nearest ones are to the northeast, several hundred miles away. We use this to sense them." Fearful of being slaughtered by Lou Yi, the Thousand-legged Insect Demon hurriedly revealed all the information.
A gray scale, about the size of a palm, suddenly appeared on the ground before it.
It was covered with diamond-shaped patterns of varying sizes, seemingly from the body of some unknown demon beast.
According to the Thousand-legged Insect Demon, with this scale, there’s a sensing range of two thousand miles.
However, the positioning is not very accurate, only vaguely sensing the approximate location.
Moreover, it can only sense the position simply, without relaying complex information.
Lou Yi took it in his hand and tried inputting spiritual power or Gang Qi, but found no response.
"Hehe, it only works with the input of demonic power," the Thousand-legged Insect Demon said with a sheepish grin.
Its two antennae rubbed alternately on its smooth head, as if rubbing its hands.
"Then I can’t kill you just yet," Lou Yi said with a smile, frightening the Thousand-legged Insect Demon into repeatedly kowtowing.
A new plan quickly formed in Lou Yi’s mind.
Instead of wandering aimlessly searching for the Innate Pure Qi, trying to grab everything haphazardly,
it would be better to focus his efforts on Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and the Demon Clan.
First, it’s controllable and easy to find.
Moreover, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures can enhance qi-blood and strengthen his power.
As for the Demon Clan, Lou Yi considered them perhaps even more valuable than the treasures.
"In six days, the outcome is still uncertain." Considering the threat of Zhao Wushuang and others, Lou Yi grabbed the Thousand-legged Insect Demon, which had turned into a caterpillar,
"Take me to your companions; I wish to rekindle old memories with them."
"Ah?" The Thousand-legged Insect Demon’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, having already guessed what Lou Yi intended to do.
However, it hesitated only for a moment before hurriedly nodding.
It even revealed to Lou Yi all about its companions’ strength, demonic arts, and hidden cards.
"Very well, if you guide me well, I might spare your life." Lou Yi was quite satisfied with the Thousand-legged Insect Demon’s cooperative attitude.
The Thousand-legged Insect Demon, on the other hand, wore a mournful expression, not holding out much hope for Lou Yi’s ’promise,’ only wishing for a slower death.
’Whoosh!’
Lou Yi tucked the crippled, three-foot-long Thousand-legged Insect Demon under his arm and shot towards the northeast like a thunderbolt.
Before long, he flew over a hilly terrain.
Looking down, the interconnected mounds, alternating green and yellow grasslands, and low shrubs stood out, easily spotting the three companions of the Thousand-legged Insect Demon amongst the landscape.
One was the Giant Scorpion Demon, previously involved in besieging him, towering five hundred feet with a black-and-red back shell resembling a small island.
Its tail, covered in hard spines, was stark white, arching like a bridge in mid-air.
This demon’s cultivation surpassed the Thousand-legged Insect Demon’s, having undergone five bloodline transformations, rendering its body extremely sturdy.
Another was a huge crocodile demon, not much smaller than the Scorpion Demon.
Its scales on its back rose like blades, glinting cold silver, with its yellow eyes glaring like lanterns.
However, Lou Yi learned from the Thousand-legged Insect Demon that this demon’s cultivation had only completed four bloodline transformations, making its body merely sturdy, with strong survival capabilities.
The most eye-catching of the trio was a Bear Demon, standing six hundred feet tall.
Its dense gray fur stood like spears, walking upright, its muscular build bulging clearly, looking like a fleshy mountain.
It had a pair of red horns on top of its head, piercing straight up to the sky, appearing quite intimidating, overshadowing the presence of the other two demons.
Lou Yi casually sent over a detection skill.
[Name: ?Bear Demon?]
[Age: 488]
[Realm: High-tier Demon General]
[Talent: Bear Power]
[Attribute: Earth Element]
"Impressive, it’s not surprising for a mutated Bear Demon, possibly awakening ancestral bloodline." Lou Yi’s eyes gleamed brightly.
As for the Bear Demon’s past mutation, that was naturally what he heard from the Thousand-legged Insect Demon.
In the field.
The three high-tier demons, alerted by the commotion above, widened their house-sized eyes and looked up into the sky.
What they saw was the bald-headed Thousand-legged Insect Demon, originally a hundred feet long, now turned into a slippery caterpillar, its original legs replaced by black scars.
