"All my Other Shore Race have been killed by you, why, why won't you let me go?"

The battle in the canyon had stopped. In a corner, a girl who looked no more than fourteen or fifteen and had exquisite features, but was covered in blood, could barely hold onto the long spear in her hand. She glared hatefully at the five cultivators forcing her into a corner, her lips bleeding from biting them.

They were all at the Divinity Transformation Stage, equivalent to Tier Five Celestial Martial Level experts of the Demon Race, and the spiritual power around them allowed them to walk on air.

"Little girl, don't pretend you don't know what your Other Shore Race has done!"

The elder leading the group, who was at the Divinity Transformation Perfection stage, snorted coldly, "Years ago, the Blood Dragon Race devoured countless billions of beings on the Cultivation Continent, and your race has been secretly plotting to rescue the suppressed Blood Dragon Nine Ancestors. That is your wrongdoing."

Listening to such righteous words, the blue-haired girl laughed bitterly, "Wasn't it your Lord of Heaven who used Blood Fang Ancestor's partner as a furnace, which led to the Nine Ancestors' revenge? All of this is the price you should pay. Winner takes all, and had it not been for those old undead from the Continent Alliance stepping in, your Celestial Court would have long been swept by the Nine Ancestors."

"Ha! Winner takes all—and the Blood Dragon Nine Ancestors were too arrogant, thinking they were invincible just because their Nine Dragons emerged, daring even to provoke the Continent Alliance. If not them, then who?"

The elder coldly laughed, "And now that the Sin Star is destroyed and the Blood Dragon Nine Ancestors have been completely annihilated, truth be told, we don't really want to kill you. But only by severing the root can potential future woes be eliminated entirely. Time to join your family on the other side!"

Having said that, he formed a sword technique.

The three spirit swords floating behind him shot forward like lightning, aiming to slay the blue-haired girl.

"Father, Mother, Xi'Er is coming to find you."

The blue-haired girl shut her eyes in despair; she was already covered in sword wounds and had no strength left to resist. Her long spear fell from her grip to the ground, and she closed her eyes, awaiting death.

Boom! Crack—

But just then.

Suddenly, thunderclouds amassed in the sky above the canyon. Several black lightning bolts, charged with the power to destroy the world, descended in an instant, shattering the three spirit swords that were about to slay the blue-haired girl.

"Which senior might this be?!"

Faced with this terrifying phenomenon, the expressions of the five cultivators led by the elder drastically changed.

An entity capable of causing such phenomena would, in their understanding, be at the Inquiry Level of power!

Equivalent to the King Level of the Demon Race.

In the presence of such a being, their Divinity Transformation level marked them as mere ants.

Transformation (Qi Cultivation), Little Demon (Foundation Establishment), Earth Demon (Core Formation), Great Demon (Nascent Soul), Celestial Demon (Divinity Transformation), Demon King (Inquiry Level), Demon Emperor (Celestial Immortal), Demon Saint (True Immortal), Demon Emperor (Celestial Immortal)!

Although Divinity Transformation and Inquiry Level seem a stride apart.

This very stride marks an insurmountable chasm.

An Inquiry Level cultivator at the initial stage could easily slaughter a thousand, even ten thousand, Divinity Transformation peak-level beings.

As they looked around in panic, they suddenly saw a man dressed in a black suit, tall and upright, with a sinister aura and blood-red eyes, stepping on black thunder, traversing the ground with ease.

In a few steps, he was before the blue-haired girl.

"Demon King?!"

The five cultivators were struck with terror, never expecting to encounter a Demon King here.

The aura of pressure emanating from him was far more terrifying than any Inquiry Level cultivator they had encountered before.

The oppressive force at the level of life made their bodies shiver uncontrollably.

"Senior, may I ask who you are? We are from the Celestial Court on the Cultivation Continent, this girl is our enemy..."

The elder, trembling, made a respectful gesture.

"You, the youngest among you are several hundred years old, yet here you bully a mere fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. The Celestial Court sure has dignity!"

Gu Qijue's cold gaze was akin to surveying corpses.

"Since the Demon King senior has taken an interest in this girl, we shall show senior respect and take our leave!"

With an altered expression, the elder in Divinity Transformation Perfection clasped his fists towards Gu Qijue, preparing to leave with his group.

Watching them leave with their swords, a murderous intent flashed in Gu Qijue's eyes, and with a swish, he vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the elder.

Under the elder's terrified gaze, with a gruesome crack, Gu Qijue ripped off his head.

The Nascent Soul escaped, attempting to flee.

But it was crushed in Gu Qijue's grasp.

The other four Divinity Transformation cultivators, witnessing this scene, fled in all directions, chilled to the bone.

Bang!!

As Gu Qijue watched them scatter, he lightly snapped his fingers, and from the clouds above, four terrifying lightning bolts struck down, turning those four into blood mist, obliterating them completely.

Slaying five people.

Gu Qijue waved away the thunderclouds in the sky, with a displacement appearing before the blue-haired girl.

"Are you... the Young Master?"

Lan Xi blinked her big eyes, looking up and down at Gu Qijue.

Seeing her covered in wounds, Gu Qijue took out a healing potion worth a billion Star Coins, flatly saying, "How could a little Great Demon like you survive a chase from Celestial Demon Divinity Transformation Perfection?"

Her external and internal injuries were severe.

Even though she was still standing now, she was close to the end of her strength.

"I... I... I have an escape artifact, but I simply have no demonic power left to activate it..."

Lan Xi bit her lip, looking at the healing potion in Gu Qijue's hand, "This isn't cheap. Are you really giving it to me?"

"Are you not aware of your own injuries?"

Gu Qijue tossed the potion before her and then turned aside, to investigate the storage bracelets of the five Divinity Transformation cultivators.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Lan Xi deeply looked at Gu Qijue's towering back, opened the bottle cap, and gulped it down.

"Don't call me Young Master anymore!"

Being called that by a fourteen-year-old girl, Gu Qijue found it off-putting.

Blood Fang probably never expected that the Other Shore Race was nearly exterminated.

In the Demon Spirit Continent, the Other Shore Race was once a clan guarded by Demon Saints.

But now, it's reduced to just this single survivor.

"Hmm! Then what should I call you?"

Lan Xi sat cross-legged on the ground, activating her cultivation technique to refine the potion effects.

"Whatever!"

As Gu Qijue watched her cultivate, he pondered, "Why am I unable to learn the cultivation techniques of the Nine Dragon Inheritance? There is simply no circulation pathway for demonic power within me..."

"Could it really be true, as Blood Fang Ancestor said, that I am just an anomaly, appearing in this world due to the Light of Creation?"

In the three months since awakening, Gu Qijue had been attempting to cultivate the Dragon Race techniques and combat techniques within the inheritance.

Damn it, he couldn't even cultivate.

There were no circulation routes at all.

According to the Demon Race hierarchy, Gu Qijue was now Tier Five Demon King.

Yet his power was formidable enough that he felt he could battle even a Demon Emperor.

The first Dragon Pearl, Blood Fang helped Gu Qijue refine ninety percent of it into his body before dying, which is why he possesses his current strength.
