Above the Demon Lords are naturally demonic creatures comparable to Title Douluos among Soul Masters. Because they are clearly distinct from Great Demons and fall somewhere in between, Xu Yuan temporarily uses them as a transitional term, so he is quite casual in naming them and calls them Great Lords.
Above the Great Lords are the Great Demons, which are the same level as the nine Great Demons who last supported the Demon Gate and stabilized the dimensional passage on Seagod Island.
It's very rough.
But it's enough for now.
Xu Yuan probed forward with his spiritual power, discerning the energy fluctuations, and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Great Lord!"
Xu Yuan did not back down.
He swiftly wielded the Heavenly Origin Brush, sketching out the form of a demon in just a moment.
This demon is similar to the nine great demons, but it has purple demonic patterns instead of purple-gold ones.
After materialization, its aura fluctuations were only at the level of a Soul King.
Upon closer inspection, it is very similar to the form of Yuanen Yehui's Fallen Angel Martial Soul in normal combat.
The difference is that this demon does not have female characteristics.
"Phantom Star, it's up to you now."
Xu Yuan instructed Huanxing to control this demonic body and go to the territory of the great lord ahead to gather intelligence.
Reluctantly, Huanxing merged into this body and walked forward.
Xu Yuan found a cave nearby, sat down cross-legged, and focused his attention on the mental link with Huanxing, remotely observing Huanxing's condition.
Chapter 334 Intelligence (Please Subscribe!!!)
Although Huanxing was unwilling, her body language betrayed her.
After following Xu Yuan, he never had a peaceful day. Every day he was either helping Xu Yuan cultivate or listening to Xu Yuan's psychological manipulation.
However, Huanxing could genuinely feel a sense of racial sublimation. It seemed that his entire racial abilities were being strengthened through these cultivation practices, and that he might even have the opportunity to achieve true evolution soon, taking a step further on the basis of the Phantom Beast bloodline and achieving a higher level of bloodline!
This was simply unbelievable for him when he was still a soul beast.
After all, even if a soul beast has the lowest intelligence, it still possesses the ability to cultivate.
Especially after ten thousand years, they had developed intelligence comparable to that of human teenagers.
In the long course of life, there will always be times when you suddenly have the urge to cultivate yourself.
Even if you persist for a year each time, as long as you have this thought once in a hundred years, then it will amount to a hundred years of cultivation over ten thousand years.
Although cultivation years are not equivalent to lifespan, there are very few soul beasts that can reach a cultivation age of over 30,000 years within 10,000 years.
The phantom star is at least seven or eight thousand years old.
He was in the Soul Tower for 20,000 years.
If you include the days he spent as a spirit in the Soul Tower, his total lifespan is at least over ten thousand years.
The time spent diligently practicing within this period, if not a hundred years, would still be at least eighty years.
However, these practices did not lead to a significant increase in his racial rank.
The conditions provided by Xu Yuan were also extremely important, enabling him to develop a completely new power system based on the five elements, leveraging his own advantages and talents.
But ultimately, Huanxing still believes that the root cause lies in the fact that after fusing with Xu Yuan, he possessed an ability that no other soul beast had before—creativity!
This may not be a common trait among all souls, but it is definitely an opportunity for Huanxing.
Actually, his understanding was not thorough enough.
To be precise, the real root of everything lies in the combination of his talent and Xu Yuan's brain-based martial spirit.
His talent already had a tendency to be distracted and have a split brain. By fusing with Xu Yuan's brain martial soul, he naturally took away a portion of Xu Yuan's brain control.
Similarly, this ability of his also indirectly facilitated the splitting of Xu Yuan's mind into individual consciousnesses that merged with other souls, giving them some control over them as well.
Strictly speaking, Yao Yao only became creative after Huan Xing was integrated into the group.
As for absolute.
It is truly gifted.
Back to topic.
Phantom Star, controlling the demon's body, entered the territory of the great Narundo.
Narundo, a tyrant under the demon lord Alba.
He ruled over the surrounding area.
Alba fled in such a hurry that he did not have time to inform Nalundo. At this moment, Nalundo was unaware that the territory of the great demon lord Alba had been invaded by a group of humans.
The demonic body controlled by Huanxing possesses the purest bloodline among demons, the royal bloodline of demons.
Therefore, upon sensing the presence of Huanxing, Nalunduo immediately came out to meet him personally.
"Great demon messenger, what is the message you bring?" Nalundo asked Huanxing respectfully and cautiously.
Among demons, bloodline hierarchy is strictly enforced.
Or rather, there is a strict hierarchy of strength.
The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is vividly demonstrated throughout the entire demon realm.
The most common approach is to judge strength, but when it comes to demons with royal bloodlines, bloodline must be considered.
Huanxing is now the royal family, representing the Demon Lord. Even Nalundo, a regional overlord, must treat him with utmost respect.
The reason is simple: in the entire demon world, only those of royal blood can break through the limits of the overlord, become great demons, or even become true demon monarchs and reach the pinnacle of the world.
Only nine demon lords represent the royal bloodline.
Narundo is a demon, enormous in size, standing fifty meters tall, yet he appears cautious and timid, a stark contrast to his appearance.
However, none of the demons around seemed to find it strange.
Huanxing was surprised by Nalunduo's respectful attitude. She hadn't expected this body to be so useful.
At that moment, Xu Yuan's voice appeared in his mind.
"Ask him how many troops the territory currently has, and how long it would take to reach the capital if all forces were mobilized."
Huanxing's eyes flashed, and following Xu Yuan's instructions, she clearly expressed her meaning.
(Issues related to the language system will not be considered for now; they will be explained later when more worldviews are developed.)
He was mimicking Alba's tone.
Nalundo had never seen this demon of royal blood before, so he couldn't detect any errors in his judgment.
"Great messenger, is the great demon lord about to set out again? Is the traitor from the hell plane launching another attack?" Nalundo's red eyes gleamed, carrying a hint of bloodlust.
Xu Yuan remained silent.
What is this? How come there's a hellish dimension?
Of course, he was not distracted and calmly gave instructions to Huanxing.
"Do not."
Huanxing shook her head, her tone heavy.
"A pawn of the great Demon Lord from his early years has matured and now opens the door to another world. On the other side lies a world full of life and vitality, which is of great significance to the Lord. However, the cultivators on the other side are also very powerful, and we are temporarily stuck."
Narendo's large red eyes widened, and his breathing became slightly rapid.
"A world teeming with living beings?"
Unconsciously, a drop of saliva the size of a normal person's fist dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Drooling dripped down his chin, and Narendra only belatedly realized it, wiping his mouth with an unusually excited expression.
“My lord, my territory has been recuperating for the past ten years and has produced a large number of warriors, including 30,000 extraordinary warriors. If we need to mobilize them urgently, we can launch an army of 20,000 extraordinary warriors. There are 500 demons at the commander level, but as for lords, there are still only 20.”
Narundo directly explained the situation within his territory.
Inside the cave, Xu Yuan was also analyzing the various levels that Nalundo had mentioned.
Among them, the lord is obviously the definition given by Xu Yuan before, which is roughly at the level of Soul Saint and Soul Douluo. Reasoning further, the commander should be a demon at the level of Soul King and Soul Emperor, which is also the level of the demon that Huanxing is currently possessing.
Below that, those at the Soul Venerable and Soul Sect levels should be considered Extraordinary.
Further down the hierarchy, even the demon race wasn't given a title, clearly indicating they were considered inferior.
Of course, even the lowest-ranking demons can possess beings equivalent to Great Soul Masters, far surpassing humans in strength. However, correspondingly, the demon race relies more heavily on their bloodline and innate talent in cultivation, exhibiting far less creativity than humans.
"How much do you know about the other territories around here?" Huanxing asked casually, following Xu Yuan's instructions.
Nalundo respectfully replied, "Sass has gained two more lords, making a total of fifteen. Two years ago, Kai punished and killed two lords, leaving eleven lords remaining."
"Envoy, Sass and I both believe that Kai is no longer qualified to be a hegemon. At this crucial juncture of recuperation, failing to develop the power within his territory and instead causing the loss of his forces is an obstacle to His Majesty's invasion of the New World."
As Nalundo spoke, he observed Huanxing's expression.
Unfortunately, he couldn't discern any change in Huanxing's emotions from his expression.
