Military Clan?

This word startled Yun Shou, who was outside the simulator.

Does the Demon race have a branch called "Soldier Demon"?

But he remembered that this true king was a Thorn Demon, and that he said "we".

In other words, the Demon race also has another name: the Soldier Race!

This nickname likely comes from the fact that "magic blood makes it particularly easy to forge weapons."

But isn't it a bit of a humiliation for the Demon King to say that he is a soldier?

It's like a human supreme being referring to himself as "we, the blood-eating race," in front of a minor demon.

Or it could be like proclaiming to the dog demon, "We, the dung-making clan, are going to destroy the fate of history."

"...Were they named by other, more advanced beings?"

Yun Shou realized that he seemed to have overlooked something: this "upper realm" was not just the Azure Domain.

The entire Upper Realm is called the Yuantian Realm, and the Azure Domain is just a small part of it!

The demon race may originate from other realms, where they are cultivated as living materials for blood extraction and weapon forging, hence the humiliating name "soldier race"!

Although they later escaped being used as materials, they still kept the shame of the past in mind and called themselves "the soldier race" to remind themselves.

The more Yun Shouyue analyzed, the more problems he found: "No, the Demon Clan is now one of the three major races in the Azure Domain!"

"If they killed the breeders in the Azure Domain, or escaped to the Azure Domain to avoid the breeders, then they have already broken free from their former fate as a warrior race!"

"But why bother to 'change' your fate?"

A terrifying possibility popped into Yun Shou's mind: Could it be that the Demon Clan is still being raised as a "soldier race"?

No way... Will there be Reapers?

Your previous guess was spot on.

The Demon Race, or more accurately, the Soldier Race, is an "artificial race." The specific manufacturer is unknown, but they have yet to erase the number etched deep within their bloodline.

[Upon advancing to the third realm, their identification number will automatically appear deep within their bloodline.]

Their limit is True King. In other realms, some humans can surpass the True King realm—the humans here cannot do so because they lack the ability.

[But the demon race truly cannot achieve that; even if they had the ability, they couldn't!]

[At a certain stage of their development, the programs etched deep within their bloodlines will begin to activate, driving the Demon King across mountains and seas. It is a call from instinct, commanding them to break through the barriers of the heavens and earth, transcend the "Heaven and Earth Zone," and journey to other realms!]

[It's like the underlying code of a robot has been activated; in the minds of those demon lords, only one thought remains: I must go to "that" place!]

For example, the person in front of you is constantly having those brainwashing-like thoughts playing in their mind.

However, it only progressed a short distance in the True King Realm before stopping, so the activation level of its underlying code is not high enough, and it can barely hold on.

For so many years, they have been searching for ways to bypass that "underlying code," but even the most promising Demon King only managed to reach the late stage of True King before unstoppablely heading straight for the outer realms.

They considered relying on the power of other races, such as the sacred bodies of humans or the ancestral blood of demons, and began to collect talented individuals from other races.

However, this "prodigy from another race" has a level restriction: after achieving the third realm, the essence of their original species will be locked, and the demon they transform into can only be considered a half-demon.

Not only are half-demons unable to generate "Soldier Clan ID codes" within their bodies, thus avoiding detection by the producers behind the Soldier Clan, but their potential is also greatly diminished, preventing them from breaking through to the fourth realm.

After tens of thousands of years of experimentation, they determined the optimal transformant: the human sacred body, especially the sacred body in terms of spirit and physique.

The stronger the combined value of these two aspects, the better it can resist the ramblings of low-level code!

[Like Chu Heshang's Flaming Mountain... oh, now it should be called the "Sea of ​​Blazing Flames" Holy Body, and Bei Chenguang's "Primordial Spirit True Self Body," which, for the human race, are equivalent to "five" or "four" complete battle bodies, because they have a special bonus to Yuan Power.]

However, none of the five realms of the Demon Race's system involve elemental power; elemental crystals can only replenish their physical strength and cannot be converted into combat power.

Therefore, those two types of sacred bodies are not even as good as a relatively weak "Double Mighty King" sacred body.

[Mighty King: Similar to X-Full Battle Body, but only enhances physical strength, offering no benefit to spirit or elemental power. Double Mighty King doubles physical strength, and so on for higher levels.]

"So... my Six-Complete Battle Body, which is stuck at the peak of the second realm, is actually the chosen one who 'escaped the demon of fate'?"

"Six times the spirit, physical strength, and Yuan power of the Six-Complete Battle Body... Although Yuan power is useless to them, with six times the spirit and physical strength, who below the Overlord level could possess such power?"

"No wonder even the True King took action for this; they're willing to pay any price to take me down."

The True King stated that as long as you obediently accept the Demon Egg they meticulously crafted and choose to wholeheartedly embrace it, you can instantly transform into a Great Demon of the Third Realm, possessing a Holy Body that can continue to grow.

"At only the second realm, he already possesses a six-fold complete combat physique. Once he reaches the fifth realm, even if the enhancement level is lower than that of a pure human holy physique, he should still be a dozen or so complete..."

The Demon King's voice, unusually tinged with excitement, declared: "When you ascend to the True King realm, my entire clan will support your breakthrough to the sixth realm!"

"The 'Soldier Clan' of the Sixth Realm will no longer be the 'Soldier Clan,' but a truly independent 'Demon Clan'!"
