[If one demon dies and another is then fed to him, the gap between them will be quite long. It generally takes several decades to feed someone from the fourth realm to the fifth realm. So the question is: how can the safety of the demon race be guaranteed during these decades? Aren't they afraid of being raided by humans and demons, and then being defeated by them by a force that is not even as strong as the sea race?]

Because—the demon race still has a demon king.

[And that other demon king wasn't someone the Azure Domain demons forcibly bestowed with their fortune; he achieved the Fifth Realm True King title entirely on his own merit, the kind that's completely unassailable!]

This demon king is a Xuanwu!

[It came from beyond the Azure Domain 50,000 years ago!]

The history of the Azure Domain demon race is far shorter than that of the human and demon races.

[Do you remember what the captain said when he mobilized all the innate beings when Yun Qi first boarded the Tianyuan Giant Ship (Chapter 99) to serve in the Second Human-Demon War Zone?]

"The demon race has always been the mortal enemy of the human race, and the monster race was even once a friendly ally of the human race."

This statement is true; the demon race was indeed once part of the human race.

But at that time, they were called "beasts."

[It belongs to the category of spirit beasts raised by humans.]

[Until fifty thousand years ago, the Xuanwu True King came from the outer realms. It was a fifth-realm divine beast with a solid cultivation level, pure bloodline, and perfect condition, and it was not just at the early stage of the True King realm.]

At that time, the Xuanwu True King could have swept across the Azure Domain; even the combined forces of humans and demons were no match for him.

It granted freedom to those spirit beasts, ordered humans to abandon their massive enslavement of them, and prohibited large-scale breeding by the demon race, thus allowing the "demon race" to become independent!

[But Xuanwu is quite indifferent; it will only ensure the existence of the demon race, preventing their extinction. As for supporting the demon race to become the overlord of the Azure Domain… it won't do it!]

It lets the demon race fight and plunder for themselves!

Therefore, even though the demon race's history is only 50,000 years, and their demon kings have gaps of several decades or even centuries, they are not afraid of being wiped out because Xuanwu is there to protect them, providing a safety net.

[Fifty thousand years is equivalent to five True Kings stacked on top of each other, which is a considerable amount of time. So much so that many lower-level demons are unaware of Xuanwu's existence or the events of fifty thousand years ago.]

Some uncultured demons even think that humans split off from the demon race.

[Turtle-type divine beasts have an extra bonus to lifespan. Even without reaching the sixth realm, according to human speculation, the Xuanwu's lifespan limit may exceed 100,000 years. In any case, 50,000 years have passed since it appeared in the Azure Domain, and it has not shown any signs of aging.]

[You think to yourself that the aura of a true king you sensed over the demonic land must be Xuanwu.]

As for the demon kings they summoned using their own destiny? They should be in a sealed slumber, just like the human race's century-old kings, and thus unaffected by your overwhelming power spanning ten thousand miles.

"The value of Prince Yangniao is still increasing."

"No wonder it's the top of the 100 most popular jokes."

"Speaking of which, what's going on with the sea creatures? How did they manage to create three true kings?"

[There are three Demon Kings, but you only sensed two... That's because your spiritual power only covered most of the Demon Realm; the remaining Demon King is in the other small portion!]

[…Back to the present.]

[The characteristics of a human advancing to the fourth realm are too obvious; you have already alarmed the entire Azure Domain!]

It's easy to imagine that once the various races realize what's happening, they will go completely mad and rampage!

[The ability to dominate for 200,000 li signifies a potential future Earthly Sovereign, while 300,000 li signifies a potential Heavenly Sovereign. If Bei Chenguang's 700,000 li attack hadn't eliminated the demon present, it could have sparked a Holy War!]

Two great kings of the human race are being awakened.

When Yun Jiu was captured by the Thorn Demon True King, a mere second-stage cultivator at the sixth or seventh level of the Full Battle Body realm was indeed unworthy of prompting the King of the Century to take action. Every time they made a move, it represented a massive drain on their luck, and they only used it to restrain enemy True Kings at crucial moments.

But you're different, you really are different!

Countless supreme beings surged towards the heart of the human realm.

Some supreme beings used their immense true essence to shatter the earth, revealing massive mines filled with elemental crystals beneath, where their battle bodies slumbered.

He rode forth, wielding his battle-ready body!

Along the way, you'll see countless streaks of light shooting into the sky!

Every now and then, a supreme being will join your group.

You feel something blessing you, and then you realize it's destiny, the destiny of humanity!

[But this isn't an overdraft of fortune to "bring forth a true king"; it's a normal blessing of fortune.]

[Through questioning Chu Zhizun, you learned that this was the Golden Spirits' desperate propaganda campaign for you on the Yuan Energy Network, letting all of humanity know that a terrifying genius was on the path to becoming a Venerable, hoping to accelerate the process as much as possible.]

[As time passed, you sensed the Demon King rushing into the area spanning six hundred million miles around you.]

[And you've been on the move, being carried along by Chu Zhizun.]

Countless small troublemakers converged on you, and at this moment, two large troublemakers finally appeared in human territory.

You breathe a sigh of relief. Two kings of the century have been awakened; one is 300 million miles away, and the other is 500 million miles away.

[They will arrive faster than the Demon King.]

Then, outside your 2.1 billion range, a second Demon King intruded. Both Demon Kings approached you, while the third remained stationary in the Demon Realm.

But you're not flustered at all!

[One King of the Century could probably hold off three Demon Kings; with two of them coming at once, who could possibly harm you!?]

[Half an hour later, at Sunset Cliff.]

[In a valley, you hang high in the sky, silently pressing down over two billion miles.]

[You've thought about having two Kings of the Century carry you until the location is set up, then finding a Nether to settle down in... but that won't work!]

[Who knows how long you can maintain this overwhelming power across two billion miles? What if the True King carries you for ten or twenty hours, and your luck runs out without replenishment during this full-power escape, causing you to drop out of cultivation level on the spot?]

Then the Demon King arrived, and everything was completely shut down!

[Throughout the valley, over seventy human supreme beings have gathered, along with some golden spirits from the fourth realm, and the Water King, Wuhuhu.]

Several supreme fighting bodies, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of feet in size, stood like giant gods, guarding the outside of the valley.

These supreme battle bodies come in various forms, including a thunder giant, a blood-red giant wolf, and a six-thousand-foot-tall penguin, which is the battle body of a certain supreme horse.

The presence of a Supreme Being is already terrifying, but above the Supreme Being are these Battle Bodies.

The sheer size of the fighting force was impossible to ignore, but two ordinary figures were even more terrifying!

Two figures stood guard beside you, slightly inferior to you.

Two...Kings of the Century!

One looked like a middle-aged or young adult, while the other looked like a middle-aged or elderly person.

[Jiang Yi, Xu Shuanghua.]

The youngest of them is already four thousand years old, and the other is close to ten thousand years old. Even with the seal and slumber slightly extending their lifespan, they only have a maximum of two thousand years left.
