As an awakened demon with blood inheritance, the Maine Coon knew very well that anyone who could stir up such a large-scale spiritual energy vortex must be at least a True Lord or Demon Lord in the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void.
At the time when the spiritual energy tide just arrived, it was impossible for a strong person of this level to be born in this remote corner, so this spiritual energy vortex must be caused by some kind of treasure that came out of the world.
Coupled with the kitten's reminder, the Maine Coon instantly realized the possible opportunities therein.
Turning around and looking at the dozens of stray cats behind him, the Maine Coon let out a low growl from its throat, and the many stray cats immediately fled in all directions as if they had received an order.
Then the Maine Coon's tall body seemed to blend into the shadows, quickly rushing towards the center of the spiritual energy vortex.
As the speed at which the Seed of Divine Power absorbed spiritual energy became faster and faster, a large number of demonized animals affected by the spiritual energy tide began to gather in the old city.
Among them, there is a giant rat king that is carried by a group of rats, a strange crow with mixed fur and flames under its feet, and a giant cockroach that can stand up to half a meter tall and can fly in the air.
These monsters gathered outside Shen Yuan's courtyard, looking at the training room in the courtyard with greedy eyes.
As a demon race that awakened their bloodline at the beginning of the spiritual energy tide, they are the rare kings among their own race. Naturally, they know very well what such a large-scale spiritual energy vortex represents.
Natural treasures that prolong one's lifespan, spiritual objects that increase one's cultivation, and even seeds of magical powers that give birth to magical powers and spells.
No matter which one it is, it will allow them to gain unimaginable huge advantages in the early stage of the return of the spiritual energy tide, surpassing the ethnic restrictions in one fell swoop and becoming the future demon king.
Thinking of this, the greed in these monsters' hearts began to grow rapidly.
Compared to the native residents here, the Maine Coon arrived a little later. When it rushed to the outside of the courtyard, several monsters and a large number of rats and crows had surrounded the courtyard.
The arrival of the Maine Coon immediately attracted the attention of the other monsters. Its half-human-high body and sturdy body made the Maine Coon look like a tiger, so much so that the other monsters wanted to retreat the moment they saw the Maine Coon.
The tiger transformed into a demon is a tiger king, qualified to become a mountain god, and a great demon with natural magical powers. If a tiger king really came here, other demons would not be qualified to compete with it.
However, after realizing that there was no "king" character on the Maine Coon's head, which symbolizes a tiger, but a small ball of fur the size of a palm, the other monsters no longer felt as fearful as they did at the beginning.
The Maine Coon's huge body does give it a certain advantage when facing other monsters, but this is not enough to make other monsters give up the treasures in front of them.
Only the fat rat king shook his body subconsciously and hid himself among the rats.
The kitten on the Maine Coon's head looked excitedly towards the center where the spiritual energy gathered, but when it saw that it was a courtyard inhabited by humans, the joy on its little face instantly turned into loss.
"So it belongs to someone!" the kitten said sullenly.
The Maine Coon slowly glanced at the other demons who were staring at him eagerly, licked his paw with his scarlet tongue, and said nonchalantly:
"My lord, if you need me to grab it for you, I will."
Upon hearing this, the kitten punched the Maine Coon on the head again.
"Didn't I tell you? If we want to develop in a society dominated by humans, we must never do anything illegal, let alone steal other people's things."
The Maine Coon cat, which was so domineering in the last second, immediately showed a look of aggrieved.
"But, but you opened someone's box to find their offline address, which is also illegal!"
The little cat was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed look on his face, and immediately began to explain:
"It's all that bad guy's fault. If he hadn't provoked me and refused to apologize, would I have wanted to apologize to him offline?"
"Besides, I haven't found him yet, so it's definitely not illegal."
Just as the little kitten was about to object, the rat demon finally couldn't hold back his anger and a large number of rats under his command began to rush towards the courtyard.
The rats swarmed towards the wooden door. The rats, which already showed signs of becoming monsters, quickly gnawed at the rotten wooden door. In just a moment, the door was shaking.
However, the noise outside did not seem to attract the attention of the people in the room. Rats kept ramming the wooden door one after another, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time.
The kitten looked confused when he saw this scene, and whispered to the Maine Coon:
"There are still humans in the room. Those guys must want to kill them and take the treasure away. Should we stop them from killing people?"
This time the kitten did not give an order, but asked in a negotiating tone.
Maine Coons were originally abandoned by humans, and they have absolutely no affection for humans and subconsciously want to reject them.
But when it saw the kitten's expectant eyes, its heart softened for some reason.
"Your will is obeyed!"
He carefully put the kitten aside, and the two stray cats behind him immediately came up to protect the kitten. The Maine Coon rushed into the rat swarm like a tiger, and the rats that kept hitting the wooden door were trampled to death and fled in panic. "Stop!"
Stepping on the flesh and blood, the roar of a tiger was heard, and then the surging demonic energy pressed towards the group of demons that besieged the courtyard.
Such a powerful demonic aura made many demons look sideways. They could feel that if the big cat in front of them could take one more step, it would be able to step into the Qi transformation realm and become a true demon.
"The treasures in the courtyard are all based on their abilities, but you cannot harm the humans inside!"
As soon as the Maine Coon finished speaking, the monsters became furious.
"Who do you think you are?"
"I knew cats were just humans' lackeys!"
"How dare you scold a dog, you dead rat?"
"You actually protect humans, this demon clan traitor!"
The Maine Coon paid no attention to the demons' ridicule. He raised his right paw and licked the remaining flesh and blood on it, his eyes full of contempt.
"I'm only here to set the rules. If anyone doesn't follow them, they will die!"
The Maine Coon's tough attitude caused the scene to fall into silence for a moment.
The eyes of the monsters flickered. They all wanted the treasure in the room. It didn't matter to them whether they killed the human inside or not. If they had a head-on collision with the Maine Coon because of this incident, it would be a loss.
The monsters exchanged glances with each other and were about to agree.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud noise in the courtyard, and then a piece of the ground collapsed and a large number of rats poured out of the hole.
And in the center of the mice was the fat rat king.
The monsters were shocked. They thought the Rat King was hiding because he was afraid of his natural enemy, the cat monster. They never expected that he had secretly sent rats to dig tunnels and get ahead of them.
At this moment, the group of monsters could no longer remain calm and rushed madly towards the courtyard, completely ignoring the attitude of the Maine Coon.
The Maine Coon stood in front of the wooden door with a grim look on its face. It had originally wanted to use its own strength to intimidate the other monsters to achieve its goal, but it had never expected that the Rat King would break the current situation.
Although it is powerful, it is impossible for it to confront these monsters head-on for the sake of a human.
With this thought in mind, it chose to move aside.
At this moment, the swarm of rats pouring out of the courtyard, carrying the Rat King, had already rushed to the door of the training room. The Rat King's eyes, as big as green beans, were filled with excitement.
It seemed to be able to see that the treasure was close at hand.
But just as the rats were about to touch the door, the huge vortex of spiritual energy suddenly disappeared, and a hand gently pushed the door open.
He was a handsome young man in a white shirt, looking fragile and ordinary. Any demonized rat could easily bite the throat of the human in front of it.
It was just such an ordinary young man who threw something at the rats.
The Rat King saw the thing clearly. It was a brown matchbox. The number of matches it could hold was pitifully small. Even if all the matches were lit, it would not be possible to burn a mouse to death.
"A desperate struggle in panic!"
The Rat King felt extremely contemptuous.
But the next moment, deep black cracks appeared all over the matchbox, and an uneasy atmosphere spread rapidly from the matchbox.
Before the Rat King could react, the spreading black cracks spread out into space. The huge spatial cracks completely swallowed up the entire group of rats, and even the group of monsters that subsequently rushed into the courtyard were affected.
Neither the torn flesh nor the bursting demonic power could shake the broken space. The demons, who had no idea what was happening in the courtyard, rushed into the broken space one after another, like lambs walking into a slaughterhouse.
The broken space cracks were like a ruthless big mouth, swallowing all the demons.
Among the group of monsters, desperate cries pierced the silent night sky.
"Breaking the void, he is the True Lord Lianxu!"
