"The Feather Demon King can travel 100,000 miles per second. The Barbarian Demon King is stronger than it. In addition, it will definitely be running at full speed in the Silent Belt. Let's say it travels 150,000 miles per second."
"And at that speed, running for ten minutes... that's ninety million li!"
"It would take 190 million li to dig downwards to bypass the Abyss Barrier. If we dig upwards by the same distance, the total height of this Abyss Barrier would be close to 400 million li!"
"Tsk, not as good as my Ascension Special Effects."
The Demon King followed the call of its heart, but it still retains its conscious mind. Therefore, it will not run off to join the army voluntarily, but will instead join the side of the "Creator's" greatest enemy!
"You want my life, forcing me to fight for you, but I'll fight you for the rest of my limited time!"
The Demon King galloped all the way out of the Azure Domain, and because you couldn't keep up with its speed, you've only just arrived at the Endless Sea, unaware that it has already left.
[...]
[Qingyu is in turmoil!]
[The madness of a demon king has shattered all previous conventions. This is no less than if a major power in your past life suddenly launched nuclear missiles in all directions, with only those aimed at one location being intercepted, while the rest detonated perfectly!]
[Using various communication methods such as the Elemental Network, the Magical Conch Shell, and Demonic Energy Resonance, news of the Barbarian Demon King's actions spread throughout the high-ranking officials of the Azure Domain in just half a day!]
[But the higher-ups in the Azure Domain only know that its last stop was the Demon Realm, after which it disappeared without a trace... Therefore, it must have returned to the Demon Realm!]
[Thorn Demon King: "..."]
I'm tired. Let's destroy it!
The demon race is completely hopeless!
The Feathered Demon King is dead, and the Barbarian Demon King has fled.
[It ran away, fine, but... before it fled, it not only killed a bunch of potential new demon kings, but also provoked and offended other races!]
[With only its old bones left, how could it possibly support the entire demon race!?]
After a long pause, the Thorn Demon King made up his mind.
It carried the hopes of the demon race, Gess, and chose to leave the Azure Domain!
As for why I didn't choose to leave the Azure Domain before... it's because distance can't negate brainwashing, and there are also powerful individuals in other domains. In those places, the Demon Race isn't one of the "Three Powerful Races."
[Furthermore, having settled in the Azure Domain for over two hundred thousand years, the demon race's mindset has become largely fixed.]
Yun Shou: "It's like a highly capable company CEO who insists on abandoning the huge family business that has been passed down through generations and running off to another city to start from scratch..."
"This situation usually only occurs when a capable person is looked down upon and suppressed by others in the family, so they leave in anger, putting on a show of fortunes changing every thirty years."
"But the existence of a Demon King already represents the pinnacle of the race. Why bother exploring unfamiliar territory? Although great power resides within oneself, one can eat and kill indiscriminately on one's own territory. But in other places... who knows when a true king might suddenly appear and destroy you!"
"Given the demon race's ability to infect and its ecology, it's basically impossible for them to coexist peacefully with other races."
Guts is a human, a pure-blooded human who has lived in the lower realms since childhood.
However, that lower realm was one of the Thorn Demon King's many "experimental fields," one of the many small worlds where it experimented with and improved the Demon King's Egg.
The Demon King's Egg is the final product; the earlier stages were called "King's Egg," etc.
It's worth mentioning that Guts' old friend was the Demon King who was chosen and modified by the Overlord's Egg.
The new demon race, transformed by the Demon Egg and incorporating the best traits of all demons, is called the "True Demon."
However, in earlier versions, the modified version of the Overlord's Egg was called the "King Demon."
[After his former friend ascended to demonhood, he sexually assaulted Guts, committing extremely cruel acts against Guts, his former companions, and his lover, turning the two once-close friends into bitter enemies.]
In that lower realm, Guts was a pure human rebel against the demonized creatures of the entire world, against his old friends who had ascended to demonhood!
[He, Guts—in the process of fighting against demonic creatures, gradually unleashed his inner potential, awakening the Holy Body with a near-human physique!]
[Ninefold Spiritual Body!]
[Possesses nine times the physical strength and mental power!]
[But Guts was ultimately just a mortal, and there was no cultivation system belonging to humans circulating in that lower realm. So even if he tempered his physical body to its limit and multiplied it ninefold, he could at most barely fight against a Grandmaster-level first-realm demonized creature.]
Fortunately, the vast majority of demonized creatures in that world were weak, and those with Grandmaster-level combat power were extremely rare, with only a few King Demons who had used the "Overlord's Egg" being exceptions.
He had always wanted to kill his old friend who had ascended to demonhood, but even though the "Overlord's Egg" his friend had consumed was a degraded experimental product, it still elevated his strength to the innate level, creating a terrifying gap in power!
The gap between a Grandmaster and a Primordial Master is enormous!
That's not just ten times, but dozens, even hundreds of times!
Even for a True King with extremely strong vitality, a difference of several hundred times represents absolute crushing power. A single blow would shatter them to pieces; if they survive, it means they are a leech!
[However, given a significant advantage, a hundredfold difference in output doesn't necessarily mean taking a hundred basic attacks.]
[If it's applied to the weak, then there's indeed no difference. A single basic attack can kill ten, while a hundred-times-powered attack can kill a thousand; the effect is the same.]
However, even the strongest possess "defense capabilities," meaning they have a threshold of strength!
[A strike at the Innate level is enough to shatter all of a Grandmaster's defenses, instantly turning them into a bloody mist!]
However, the old friend of the Demon King did not kill Guts; instead, he regarded him as some kind of plaything, some kind of bait that he had carefully nurtured.
[Until the Thorn Demon King returned to this experimental field in the lower realm some time ago, lamenting the lack of a human to convert and the hardships of demonic life, he inadvertently learned of a peerless warrior with astonishing strength, capable of fighting demonized creatures!]
[Thorn Demon King: "This...could it be the Holy Body?"]
[It is indeed a sacred body, and it possesses nine times the spiritual power and nine times the physical strength!]
[Faced with this "Ninefold Spiritual Body," neither your "Six-fold Battle Body" nor Xu Ling'er's nine times spiritual power becomes worth mentioning!]
"The Thorn Demon King has found his precious treasure again."
"Forgetting the old for the new..."
"Wait a minute, if it weren't for me (Yun Jiu) and Xu Ling'er, this Ge Si would have been the original wife!"
"So the first two times, it was the Qingyu master and apprentice who cheated on him?"
"Guts, the aggrieved one, fought against the demonic creatures of the entire world, yet lost his salvation and was thus branded with this hat..."
