Chapter 30: The Reason for the Decline
"Demon Clan?" Lin Tianying muttered, he also learned from the history books that the great war that broke out in the southern part of the Cangyun Continent was not to fight against the countries of the Wancang Continent, but to resist the invasion of the Demon Clan.
"Back then, the Demon King of the Soul Devouring Demon Clan led his troops to bypass the front line and attack the ancestral land of my Han clan, fortunately, the ancestral land was guarded by an enchantment, and it took them a lot of time to break the enchantment, and at the moment when the enchantment was broken, the patriarchs and elders who received the news finally rushed back from the front line. The old patriarch continued.
"Our ancestral land was shattered in this battle, the ancient temple of the clan was reduced to ruins, the forests were destroyed extensively, the mountains were razed to the ground, the lakes became basins, and the ground was full of ravines, the only thing to be thankful for is that most of the clansmen survived and were transferred to the clan's emergency shelter before the war. ”
"The patriarch only had a slight advantage in the battle with the Demon King, and it was difficult to kill or repel the Demon King and the Demon Zun, and the two sides fought for three days and two nights, and just when the Demon King and the Demon Zun were about to evacuate with the remnants, our reinforcements arrived. The front line was victorious, the demons were basically killed, and the remaining demons were also expelled from the territory of Cangyun Kingdom. ”
"The arrival of reinforcements has wiped out the hope of the Soul Eater Demon Clan to retreat, they will not allow the Demon King and the Demon Venerable to leave this place alive, and the surviving demons have also realized that there is no hope of breaking through, and they have gone crazy,"
"But in the face of absolute strength, everything was in vain, one demon after another was surrounded and killed, and the Demon Venerable also fell one after another, and in the end, there were only three demons left, one Demon King and two Demon Venerables. ”
In desperation, the Demon King pierced the hearts of the two remaining demons with his claws, and he killed the remaining two Demon Lords and devoured their strength to restore their strength. ”
"The patriarch and they started to stop it, but all the attacks were blocked by the two demon lords who were not yet dead, and the demon king did not choose to break through after absorbing the power of the two demon lords, but directly blew himself up. ”
"Self-destructing?"
"Yes, self-destruct. The Demon King's self-detonation produced a violent storm, and a large black blood mist appeared, and the blood mist spread extremely quickly in the storm, and the corpse of the Spirit Eater on the ground also quickly dissolved in the blood mist, turning into a part of the blood mist. ”
"And the human race shrouded in black blood mist, the body is eroded by the demon blood, the spiritual power is polluted by the demon qi in the demon blood, and collides with the yuan spiritual power in the body, only the strong person whose strength is above the Ling Qiong can force out the demon qi in the body, not from the erosion of the demon blood, and the Shengzun level can only protect itself, barely control the chaotic yuan spiritual power in the body, and prevent the further erosion of the demon qi. ”
"The rest of the people exploded and died before they could escape the blood mist. These blood mist are not affected by the realm, and no one can stop its spread, and this is where our nightmare begins. Speaking of this, the old patriarch's voice trembled slightly, "The blood mist eventually drifted into the emergency shelter, and the clansmen hiding inside were also eroded by the demon blood. ”
"In order to save the clansmen, the patriarchs and elders used their own essence blood to purify the demon blood in the clan's body, and finally the clansmen were rescued, but due to the erosion of the demon blood, the power of the bloodline no longer exists, and almost all the clansmen lost their spirit blood and became ordinary people. ”
"And the clansmen born later basically have no bloodline power, most of them are ordinary people, only a very few newborns have the power of bloodline, and the bloodline advantage is not obvious, it can be regarded as between the bloodline of the Shengzun level and the Lingqiong level. ”
"After careful examination of the clansmen, the patriarch and elders believe that the bloodline of our clan has not disappeared, but has been controlled by the unique demon blood pressure of the Soul Eater Demon Clan, and as long as the residual demon blood in the body can be eliminated, it is possible to restore the bloodline. ”
"Can this demon blood still be inherited?" Lin Tianying asked with a frown.
"Yes, this is the reason for our distress, and we learned later that the Soul Eater Clan is a very special existence in the entire Demon Clan. The old patriarch sighed.
"Demon Qi and Reiki are two diametrically opposed heaven and earth energies, and they are incompatible. Generally speaking, the demon clan likes to live in the area where the demonic energy is pervasive, that is, the land of eternal night in the Torture Continent, they hate and fear the aura, just like we treat the demonic energy, and rarely come to our human area to move. ”
"But the Soul Devouring Demon Clan is different, they can survive in areas where our human race has abundant spiritual energy, and they can even refine the spiritual energy in their body into demonic energy, it is said that the demon blood of their clan can fuse and change the bloodlines of other races, which may be the reason why the demon blood can be inherited with it. ”
"And this thin demon blood will interfere with our condensation of spiritual energy and the fusion of Yuan spiritual power, increasing the difficulty of the clansmen's cultivation of spirit bodies, and further limiting the height that the clansmen can reach. ”
"After learning that the high concentration of spiritual energy can delay the decline of the bloodline, my Han clan migrated to Wuling Mountain, and after arranging everything in the clan, the patriarch and elders refined the essence blood and Yuan spiritual power of the whole body into a spirit bead, which is the holy object in the clan. ”
"The holy relics can completely purify the remaining demon blood in the clan's body, and can gradually restore the clansmen's original spirit bloodline, but it will take a long time. ”
"In that case, the holy relics are almost the foundation of our clan's survival, and they must be guarded extremely tightly, so how can they be stolen by the clansmen?" Lin Tianying asked puzzled.
"It all started more than seventy years ago, when our clan gave birth to a genius named Han Jueqi, who had the strength of Nirvana level in just thirty years, and I and the elders agreed that he could lead the Han clan back to its former glory. The old patriarch sighed and continued to tell the story of the past.
"Han Jueqi has indeed lived up to expectations, after ten years of traveling, when he returned to the clan again, his strength has surpassed all the elders in the clan, becoming the first person in the clan, and he also brought back a large number of larvae of the Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly, saying that he has found another way to restore the bloodline of our clan. ”
"The Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly is a strange spirit insect that grows at the intersection of Spiritual Qi and Demon Qi, the larvae feed on the blood of demonic beasts, and the adult blood butterflies feed on the blood of spirit beasts. Moreover, the larvae of the Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly are all parasitic in the body of the Demon Beast, and will not leave the Demon Beast until they are about to become adults. ”
"The strange method is to parasitize the larvae of the Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly in the body of the clan, and devour the demon blood that remains in the clan's body. It's a bold idea, but if it does work, it's a viable option. ”
"After all, after decades of consumption, the purification effect of the holy relics is not as good as before, and there are still a large number of clansmen who are affected by the demon blood, and their strength is generally at the Tianchong level or the true martial arts level, and it is difficult to further improve. ”
"If this method works, only a large number of Demon Devouring Blood Butterfly larvae can solve the bloodline problem of the clan at once, and I think it is worth trying after discussing it with the elders. ”
"Han Jueqi created a blood-based spirit array contract, so that the clansmen and the spirit insects have a special connection, so that the spirit insects will take the initiative to enter the clan's body, after all, the remaining demon blood in the clan's body is very thin, and the concentration of demonic qi in the body is far less than that of the demonic beasts, and they will not suck it under normal circumstances. ”
"It is precisely for this reason that the larvae that originally only stayed in the body of the demonic beast for half a month will pupate in the body of the clan for more than ten years. ”
