Sleeping for a second increases my blood energy. I become the strongest sky-swallowing snake

Blood energy condenses into baleful aura, demonic power overflows, and the emitted aura is demonic energy.

Great demons drive demonic power, and the dense demonic energy permeates and attracts the baleful aura of heaven and earth, obscuring the sky and sun, thus forming demon clouds.

Although separated by a great distance, everyone could still faintly hear the sound of wind and thunder.

"Roar! Awoo-roar!"

A roar as if from the abyss, carrying desperate, bloodthirsty madness.

It was as if the great demon had broken free from its final shackles, about to begin a wanton slaughter.

"Such power, not from an ordinary great demon." Lingxiao's expression was solemn.

Demonic beasts that can transform are classified into the demon race.

The weakest realm of the demon race is the Great Demon Realm.

However, unlike the clear division of ranks among demonic beasts based on the strength of their blood and energy, among the demon race, great demons of the same realm can have vast differences in strength.

Therefore, the Great Demon Realm is further divided into four minor realms: Initial Stage, Middle Stage, Late Stage, and Peak Stage.

To command demon clouds, summon wind and rain, and transmit sound thousands of miles away, one must be at least in the Late Stage of the Great Demon Realm.

"It is likely a great demon about to advance to the Demon General Realm," Ling Yunzi speculated.

"No, it is a great demon that failed to advance and is about to exhaust its lifespan!" Lingxiao raised his head and said, "My Prime Minister has told me that the demons in the Great Wilderness Mountains are cruel and barbaric."

"Some great demons, when their lifespan is about to end but are unwilling to accept it, will go to the edge of the mountains and slaughter a large number of high-level demonic beasts, seeking those with strong bloodlines to devour!"

The path of cultivation is extremely dangerous.

Imagine, after enduring countless hardships, advancing from the first level to the ninth level, only to be devoured by a great demon before being able to transform. How tragic.

"This rumor, is it actually true?" Ling Yunzi questioned, "But if this is the case, wouldn't the devouring of those with strong bloodlines be detrimental to the entire demon race?"

The lifespan limit of a great demon is two hundred years.

There are at least tens of thousands of great demons in the Great Wilderness. If each one came out to kill when they were about to die, and it was left unchecked, it would be impossible for the demon race to occupy one-fourth of the world's territory.

"In reality, every great demon whose lifespan is about to end will be escorted back to the ancestral land by a Demon General. Only with the permission of the Demon King can they have the opportunity to devour the bloodlines of demonic beasts."

Lingxiao explained, "Moreover, among demonic beasts above the seventh level, those with truly strong bloodlines and potential have long been taken under the command of Demon Generals and will not be left on the edge of the Northern Wilderness Mountains."

There is a key point in this sentence: the range in which great demons devour demonic beasts is limited to the edge of the Northern Wilderness.

Most demonic beasts awaken their intelligence at the fifth or sixth level. The stronger the blood energy of the demonic beast, the more difficult it is to awaken its intelligence and transform.

Therefore, after advancing to the sixth level, demonic beasts from all directions will choose to head towards their respective royal cities.

Those with strong bloodlines have considerable combat power. As long as they are in the royal city or pass by a spiritual vein cave dwelling guarded by a Demon General and appear on the arena, they will have the opportunity to be recruited.

"What if there are any who slip through the net?"

"Then they simply lack sufficient fortune," Ling Yunzi said. "In matters of cultivation, poor luck is sometimes more deadly than poor talent."

Even if they awaken their intelligence at the sixth level, following their instincts, they will head towards the depths of the Northern Wilderness where the spiritual energy is more concentrated.

Before the seventh level, if they can avoid being devoured by powerful enemies, get on the arena and catch the eye of a superior powerhouse, and win a cave dwelling and cultivation techniques, the next step is to transform into a demon.

"My Prime Minister said that letting great demons out to slaughter is actually a strategy of the demon race," Lingxiao said.

If they can survive the great demon's mouth, they may have the opportunity to be rescued by a Demon General and continue to cultivate into a demon.

If they cannot, then their death is insignificant.

It also frees up space for low-level demonic beasts to grow.

At the same time, it makes the intelligent demonic beasts understand what to do next.

This kind of widespread announcement is direct, cold, and cruel.

"But it is effective."

Even demonic beasts that have not awakened their intelligence, as long as they have seen what the guys stronger than them did after the great demon slaughtered, they will imitate them in the future.

Looking at Ms. She Xiaocui's reaction, you can tell.

It was trembling.

At the same time, there was only one thought in its mind.

"Hiss hiss!"

"Go, must go!"

Even the route was clear—along the river, all the way north.

"Then are we going to leave?"

The answer is definitely yes.

"I believe that it is time to go deeper into the mountains. With our strength, we are enough to protect ourselves." Lingxiao was the first to vote for moving.

"We were going to leave anyway," Ling Yunzi said. "A thick tree with a short rope is hard to tie a horse, and a wide river with shallow water is hard to raise a dragon. The spiritual energy here is scarce, and it is useless to stay any longer."

As their cultivation levels increased, the spiritual energy required for cultivation became more and more.

The demon core of the Earthshaking Boar was slightly inferior to that of the Snake-catching Bird, so it had already been used up.

He glanced at Xu Chengxian, whose size had ballooned again after more than a month, "Hua Ge, if we don't leave, I'm afraid the demonic beasts here will be eaten up by you."

As the rank of demonic beasts advances, their desire for blood energy will only become stronger.

Whether it is indulging in devouring blood food or refining spiritual energy to solidify the soul, they must go to the place where the spiritual veins are located.

When Xu Chengxian heard this, he nodded.

That makes sense.

"Then let's move!"

In this area, there are no stronger demonic beasts than the Earthshaking Boar.

So he rarely has the opportunity to sleep well for several days.

He has to wake up every two or three days at most, and then he can continue to sleep after he is full.

It's very troublesome.

Mainly because there is no way to get any enjoyment from eating.

The body of a demonic beast prevents him from feeling strongly uncomfortable with blood food, but he can only experience a little feeling of fullness.

Don't even think about other tastes.

Perhaps the taste of high-level demonic beasts is better?

Neither the Empress Lingxiao nor Dao Lord Ling Yunzi mentioned going their separate ways.

Obviously, staying together is more beneficial for everyone.

After deciding to move, the next step is to determine the time to move.

"Wait a few days, after the demon cloud dissipates," Ling Yunzi said.

"Why?"

"When the great demon dies, its cave dwelling on the spiritual vein will be contested," Lingxiao guessed his thoughts, "At that time, we may have the opportunity to compete on the arena."

This competition is definitely not for the cave dwelling occupied by the great demon.

In fact, the ownership of the great demon's cave dwelling should have already been decided now that it is not dead.

Just like Lingxiao and Ling Yunzi both assumed that it would die.

Because in the past few hundred years, no demon has succeeded in relying on devouring demonic beasts to prolong their life after failing to advance.

The probability of encountering a demonic beast with a strong bloodline and the probability of eating them and successfully stimulating their own bloodline are too low.

What's more, adding the two together?

With this luck and talent, how could they fail to advance?

Therefore, the great demon will die, and its cave dwelling has nothing to do with Xu Chengxian and the others, just like it is a foregone conclusion.

However, the spiritual vein cave dwelling is built on a high mountain, progressing upwards according to the strength of the occupants, and there will always be one or more empty ones at the bottom.

"Spiritual veins are also divided into good and bad. Our first stop will definitely be the outermost spiritual vein cave dwelling."

Who doesn't want a better cave dwelling?

Therefore, it doesn't matter which spiritual vein cave dwelling the great demon came from.

The one they are going to will definitely have more opportunities than before.

Xu Chengxian nodded.

Good fellow, he has already experienced a little bit of the feeling of being carried by a big shot.

"The opponents won't be too strong, so we can practice first," Ling Yunzi said confidently.

"By the way, we may also have other gains." Lingxiao looked at the Great Sage nestled behind Xu Chengxian, "This monkey may have the bloodline of the Spiritual Treasure Divine Monkey."

Legend has it that the Spiritual Treasure Divine Monkey can avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, find treasures, and the most powerful thing is that it can understand the application methods of all spiritual objects.

"Spiritual plants are also considered spiritual objects, so it makes sense that it can plant them," Xu Chengxian turned to look at the monkey.

"Squeak squeak?" The monkey looked at him.

"It's okay." Xu Chengxian thought, those called Great Sage are all awesome, which is also very reasonable.

So, the time to move was also set.

"Then there is only one thing left, how do we move."

"What do you mean how do we move?" Lingxiao didn't understand. Saying move, they didn't have anything to bring.

They don't even need packages, just swing their tails and swim away.

"That won't work," Xu Chengxian shook his head. "I still have to bring the spiritual herbs."

Of course, the most important thing is to delay his sleep!

"That's right, let's go by water, I'll think of a way."

"What way can you think of?"
