Boom!

As if a lightning strike had traversed Xuanqing’s mind: "Damn it, I’ve become a scapegoat!"

She knew very well that the Devouring Spirit Clan she created did not possess any of those strange and exotic traits; they were likely tampered with by some Great Divine Ability practitioner in secret.

Thinking of this, she immediately grabbed several members of the Demon Clan and interrogated them about recent events. The Great Divine Ability practitioners in the Demon Realm were all exterminating the Devouring Spirit Clans scattered about, yet many were also sowing chaos within.

For example, the Blood Demon Daoist!

Not only did he refrain from exterminating the Devouring Spirit Clan, but he also blatantly used the Blood Demon Great Dao to transform the Devouring Spirit Clan, creating the Blood Spirit Clan in the northwest of the Demon Realm.

Unlike the Devouring Spirit Clan, the Blood Spirit Clan had stronger physical bodies and had even evolved limbs and bones, becoming much pickier than the Devouring Spirit Clan.

They feed on flesh and blood only!

In addition, there were also beings such as the Demon Spirit Clan, Fallen Spirit Clan, and Concealed Spirit Clan that came into being, likely the masterpieces of certain Primordial Great Divine Ability practitioners.

These beings, varied in form, but all capable of rapidly enhancing their strength by devouring certain things, plunging the Demon Realm into chaos for a time.

Like the Earth Demon, Flame Demon, Wind Demon, and other native races of the Demon Realm, they naturally repelled the Devouring Spirit Clan and exterminated them throughout the Demon Realm.

But those Primordial Great Divine Ability practitioners disguised in sheep’s clothing seemed to disdain the insufficient chaos in the Demon Realm and endowed Xuanqing’s Devouring Spirit Clan with various attributes.

Although they could only reach the Taiyi Realm at most, their formidable reproductive capabilities, plus the horrific trait that they could devour anything... not to mention, quite a few Great Divine Ability practitioners were fanning the flames!

"Very well, very well!"

"So this is how you want to play!"

Xuanqing never anticipated that the Devouring Spirit Clan she created would be toyed with by numerous Great Divine Ability practitioners.

Her original intention was to utilize the devouring trait of the Devouring Spirit Clan to help her collect the original materials of the Demon Realm to perfect her own Taoist Body, not to create chaos directly using the Devouring Spirit Clan.

"Although there was an accident in the process, isn’t the outcome still what I wanted?"

With a thought from Xuanqing, several Devouring Spirits landed in her hands, and she immediately used the Creation Great Dao to add a third eye to these Devouring Spirits.

This third eye was no ordinary one, but a Divine Power Seed transformed from the "Mother-child Creation Divine Light," capable of immediately impregnating any creature it struck, regardless of race or gender. Only cultivators of the Demon Clan at the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm might be immune to this Divine Power.

"I’m also contributing to the reproduction of the Demon Realm!" Xuanqing secretly thought: "Since the Devouring Spirit Clan has consumed so many of the Demon Realm’s lower classes, as the initiator, I need to find a way to make amends!"

Not long after, the first victim of the "Mother-child Creation Divine Light" appeared!

"Who is it?"

"Which conscienceless scoundrel has created such an abominable Divine Power?"

A Golden Immortal-ranked Flame Demon roared loudly. He never expected that by merely exterminating the Devouring Spirit Clan, he would himself experience the feeling of pregnancy.

He’s a male!

Very soon, a second member of the Demon Clan fell victim; he was an Earth Demon with the stature of a Taiyi Golden Immortal, which made him much more relaxed in handling the situation than the Flame Demon!

"Refine!"

He sensed that it was a force of the Creation Power forcibly using his flesh and blood to gestate a fetus within his belly, immediately invoking all his mana to refine it.

"Damn it!"

"Who the hell created this?"

Although he resolved this Divine Power, it was an experience he never wanted to try a second time in his life.

The "Mother-child Creation Divine Light" of the Devouring Spirit Clan was not perfect; its potency depended on their strength, and if it was a Golden Immortal or a member of the Demon Clan of the Taiyi Realm, with the determination to amputate their own arm for escape, they could still refine it away.

However, even if they managed to refine it away, they would suffer nearly a ten percent loss of their origin.

After all...

Pregnancy and childbirth is an act that consumes the essence of life; even if the embryo is refined midway, the lost life essence will not return.

In an instant, countless victims emerged, with many from the Demon Clan frightened and on edge, fearing they would accidentally be struck by the bizarre Divine Power unleashed by the Devouring Spirit Clan.

Some female demons, however, harbored different thoughts... Why, since time immemorial, must it be the female demons who gestate offspring?

With the Devouring Spirit Clan, couldn’t male demons also reproduce on their own?

It must be said, the Demon Realm houses all kinds of existences, capable of generating all kinds of thoughts; this place is a hub of chaos and desire.

Those Great Divine Ability practitioners also shuddered, pondering anxiously: "Who is the foolish one who created such a disgusting Divine Power?"

The Divine Power of the Devouring Spirit Clan had little effect on them, but if that creator of the Devouring Spirit Clan were to utilize this bizarre Divine Power, they were not entirely confident of being able to neutralize this force of Creation Power.

Some irate Great Divine Ability practitioners declared: "We must find and expose that damned individual!"

Meanwhile, within the Lifeless Palace, Houtu, The Queen Mother of the West, and Taiyuan Saint Mother were also carefully observing Nuwa. For the first time, they learned that the Creation Skill could evolve into such repulsive Divine Power.

Among the Primordial World, Nuwa’s Creation Technique was definitely at the pinnacle. Should she utilize it, it’s feared that no one could withstand that Divine Power.

Demon Lord Tongtian, Primordial Heavenly Demon, and Supreme Demon Lord, the trio, looked at one another: "Big brother, second brother, did we never offend our junior sister Nuwa?"

"Presumably not?"

Primordial Heavenly Demon said with some uncertainty: "Never mind, with the protection of the Protective Spiritual Treasure, the Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, I also possess the Multitudinous Celestial Celebratory Clouds; all laws cannot invade, such Divine Power should not harm me or big brother, right?"

Damn!

Demon Lord Tongtian was momentarily at a loss for words, realizing that among The Three Pure Ones, only he lacked a Protective Spiritual Treasure.

He always believed that offense was the best defense, and had thus always pursued ultimate destructive power, but now he could not help but feel a tinge of regret.

"No way!"

Demon Lord Tongtian immediately made up his mind: "I must find a way to create an ultimate protective divine technique and refine several top-grade protective spiritual treasures! The heart of a woman is deep as the sea, I’m not afraid of ten thousand possibilities, just the slight chance of the unexpected!"

...

While numerous great divine ability holders were worried about their future, an incarnation of Xuanqing was throwing a large number of red spiritual beads into a demon pool.

These spiritual pearls, cultivated by the Devouring Spirit Clan through devouring various objects containing primordial Qi, each pearl contained a trace of the weak origin power from the Demon Realm.

A small leak will sink a great ship!

His purpose in creating the Devouring Spirit Clan was to use them to hunt lower-level demons bit by bit, to devour the origin of the Demon Realm and to snatch the luck of the Demon Path.

"With the enlightenment of the main body’s Dao under my belt and coupled with enough origin power of the Demon World, along with the Swallowing Great Dao and the Purification Great Dao, I will soon be able to elevate my strength to the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal!"

Xuanqing’s demon transformation incarnation slowly walked into the demon pool, and the rich origin power of the Demon World instantly flooded into her physical body like a tide.

That’s the advantage of the Demon Path; with enough resources and the main body’s understanding of the Dao, her cultivation could quickly be elevated.

In less than a century, she had refined all the origin energy and elevated her cultivation to the peak of the Daluo Realm, with a physical body comparable to the Great Witches of the Witch Clan.

"To advance further, relying on quantity alone seems to be difficult!" Xuanqing frowned slightly: "I must find a way to hunt down some demons of the Daluo Realm!"

"Flesh and true blood can be used to enhance cultivation, while the primordial spirit and bones can be used for artifact refining. The Demon Path really utilizes resources to the extreme!"

"Absolutely perfect!"

In the Demon Realm, strength means that you can do whatever you want; the Demon Path is also survival of the fittest. Xuanqing has no guilt about taking action against the demons.

This place is simply heaven.

However, after coming out of seclusion, she heard some bad news. The resentful Demon, who once pledged loyalty to Luo Hou, was calling together all Daluo Golden Immortals and higher-level demon cultivators in the Myriad Demon Hall, preparing to rally the strong of the Demon Realm and to completely exterminate the Devouring Spirit Clan.

In the Demon Path where treachery is common, it is usually difficult to unite. However, now with the shifting situation of the Demon Realm and the great divine ability holders of the Primordial World causing trouble in the Demon Realm, affecting its interests, they must come together.

The Devouring Spirit Clan issue is just a pretext; the fall of numerous lower demons is just a slight annoyance for these demon chiefs.

The clash of interests between outsider cultivators and native demons is the real reason for the great assembly.

Although the integration of outsider cultivators into the Demon Path is beneficial, they can’t stop it; they just want to re-establish the order of the Demon Path.

Moreover, some foreign cultivators hid their identities too well. Even the great divine ability holders of the Demon Realm were not capable of revealing all their covers.

"I might as well take a look!"

Moved by the thought, Xuanqing transformed into a streak of demon light and sped towards the direction of the Myriad Demon Hall.

The Myriad Demon Hall, said to be one of Luo Hou’s treasures, had always stood in the center of the Demon Realm, protected by the Demon Realm Great Dao, and no demon dared to covet this treasure.

One after another, demon shadows flitted across the vault of heaven, making Xuanqing frown slightly: "Apart from lacking Saints, the foundation of the Demon Realm is hardly less than that of the Primordial World!"

Because, within the Myriad Demon Hall, she sensed the presence of at least thirty to forty great divine ability holders and seven or eight hundred formidable auras of the Demon Path Daluo.

Demon Lord Tongtian, Supreme Demon Lord, Primordial Heavenly Demon, Demon Buddha Bhusunda, as well as Heavenly Demon, Earth Demon, Flame Demon, resentful Demon—these massive divine ability holders of the Demon Realm were all present, including a suspicious figure who might be an undercover identity of the Lifeless Mother.

"This Daoist friend seems somewhat unfamiliar to me!" Just as Xuanqing was carefully observing, a Daluo-level Spider Demon immediately cast a scrutinizing gaze at her: "May I know your esteemed name?"

"Huiyue Demon Lord!"

Xuanqing answered succinctly.

"Really?"

That Spider Demon wasn’t willing to drop it and immediately attacked Xuanqing: "I want to see what qualifications the Daoist friend, Huiyue, has to claim the title of Demon Lord!"

Boom!

The Spider Demon made a move instantly, the void trembled, and a black silk spider web charged with the seven emotions and six sensory pleasures pressed towards Xuanqing like a sky-covering curtain.

Many great Daluo Demon Path beings, as well as great divine ability holders, all watched eagerly as bystanders.

But before the Spider Demon’s web could fall, seven strands of curse power manifested from the Spider Demon’s seven orifices, and both its physical body and primordial spirit were simultaneously eroded.

"Ah!"

The Spider Demon let out a scream.

Xuanqing coldly looked at the Spider Demon: "Does this satisfy you now? I neglected to mention to the Daoist friend that I cultivate the path of the plague demon; not only am I adept at cursing, but I also excel at reducing others’ luck, bringing them bad fortune!"

Then, she waved her hand and suppressed the Spider Demon, swallowing it directly into her belly: "Now, does any Daoist friend still question this Demon Lord?"

As a fellow Daluo, the Spider Demon was suppressed by Xuanqing in an instant, which caused many demons to cast a wary glance her way.

"Huiyue!"

Even those with great divine powers couldn’t help but remember this name upon witnessing this scene.

"Whose undercover identity is this?"

And great divine ability holders of the Primordial World fell into thought, wondering if the "Huiyue Demon Lord" might be an undercover identity of one of their Daoist friends?

This is how the Demon Path works; if you don’t assert dominance, others will think you are weak and ripe for bullying.

But once you demonstrate your power, the others will fear you and give way.

At the very least, after Xuanqing made her move, no one dared to trouble her again; instead, several great Daluo of the Demon Path sought to woo her on behalf of hidden backers.

She responded to each one!

After a time, when no more Demon World Daluo or great divine ability holders came forward, the resentful Demon who initiated the Myriad Demon gathering finally spoke proactively: "Fellow Daoists, the emergence of the Devouring Spirit Clan has seriously disrupted the order of the Demon Realm. The purpose of my convening you all here should be clear to everyone."
