429: The Demon King moves and refines the blood pill

Ten thousand miles away, in the Southern Demon territory.

Demon Emperor City.

Demonic Qi permeated here, especially the Demonic Qi emanating from the Demon Emperor Palace, which was like a thick, eerie gray mist, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Rolling Pig, come see me!"

Suddenly! A muffled thunder-like voice emanated from within the Demon Emperor Palace, and the terrifying power instantly shook some weaker minor demons to death on the spot!

A hundred miles away.

A giant pig, a hundred meters tall and corpulent, was sprawled on the ground, snoring loudly like thunder.

But upon hearing that voice, it suddenly woke up, and its mountain-like body immediately stood up, looking around in panic.

"What's wrong with His Majesty the Demon Emperor? Why is he suddenly losing his temper again?" Rolling Pig Demon King looked puzzled.

He finally sighed helplessly. Ever since the Demon Emperor returned from the Secluded Heaven, his temperament had become increasingly unpredictable. Before, he was just simply explosive, but now, he inexplicably gave demons a strange feeling.

It made demons afraid to communicate with him.

Especially a while ago, in order to recover from his injuries, the Demon Emperor actually ordered him to sacrifice Yao Race compatriots to refine into blood pills!

Although the Yao Race was a race where the strong preyed on the weak, sacrificing millions of Yao Race compatriots at once made even him feel a twinge of compassion.

Originally, these matters were not for him to handle; he just wanted to stay in his territory and sleep peacefully.

However, several Demon Kings had recently fallen while attacking the Human Race, resulting in a pitifully small number of surviving Demon Kings.

Coincidentally, his territory was the closest to Demon Emperor City, so he undoubtedly became the Demon Emperor's primary target for instruction.

Speaking of those fallen Demon Kings, even he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

Of the twelve great Demon Kings, two fell in the Secluded Heaven, and a full six fell in the battle of Desolate Continent!

Moreover, among these fallen Demon Kings were the top three ranked Demon Kings, who were the Yao Race's most peak combat power, each possessing cultivation at the Late Stage of the Second Realm and above!

Now, only the four of them, old, weak, and disabled Demon Kings, remained, with the highest only being at the Middle Stage of the Second Realm.

If the Human Race were to attack, how could they possibly defend with just a few of them?

But in the end, he still didn't dare to defy the Demon Emperor's command and transformed into a human figure with a fat head and large ears, rushing towards the Demon Emperor Palace.

...

Demon Emperor Palace.

"Your... Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, what's wrong?"

Rolling Pig Demon King arrived at the stone door where the Demon Emperor was in seclusion and tentatively asked inside.

"There aren't enough blood pills. Go refine some more and bring them over." The Demon Emperor's voice came from within.

Rolling Pig Demon King let out a sigh of relief. He thought he was in trouble; it turned out to be just blood pills. It scared him to death.

But soon, his brows furrowed, and after a long hesitation, he said:

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, each time blood pills are refined, a large number of Yao Race compatriots must be sacrificed. A while ago, fifty million minor demons were already sacrificed, causing the entire Yao Race to be in a state of panic."

"A large number of Yao Race members have already reported to me, asking me to step forward and punish that evil demon who is committing atrocities." Rolling Pig Demon King said with a bitter smile.

How could they know that the one who wanted their lives was not some evil demon? It was their Majesty!

"Heh, then let those dissenting Yao Race members come to Demon Emperor City. This Emperor will personally give them an answer!" The Demon Emperor sneered.

"This..." Rolling Pig Demon King's expression was conflicted. Suddenly, his eyes darted, as if he had thought of something: "Your Majesty, although our Yao Race has a long lifespan, reproduction is difficult. If we continue to refine blood pills, it will harm the Yao Race's Foundation."

"We might as well start from other aspects."

"Oh? And what do you mean by that?" The Demon Emperor showed a hint of interest.

Rolling Pig smiled sinisterly: "We can start with the Human Race and use their essence blood to refine blood pills."

"A large portion of the Human Race are ordinary people who cannot Cultivate. They have no power to resist us, but it's undeniable that the Human Race possesses extraordinary talent. The quality of their essence blood far surpasses that of our Yao Race."

"Your Majesty can act against them!"

...

There was a moment of silence in the stone chamber, and finally, a voice of approval came, "Feasible."

"This matter will be handled by you. The other great Demon Kings will be at your command, but in ten days, I want to see ten blood pills placed before me."

"Ten... ten?!" Rolling Pig Demon King was startled.

One blood pill requires the sacrifice of millions of Yao Race's essence blood; ten would require tens of millions of essence blood.

Converted to Human Race city-states, that would require slaughtering at least ten cities, and they must be large cities, to meet the demand!

"Your... Your Majesty, isn't this too much? The top three ranked Demon Kings on our side have already fallen, leaving only us old, weak, and disabled ones. We... we can't defeat the Great Zhou side."

Rolling Pig Demon King said with a mournful face.

Slaughtering ten entire cities in front of the Great Zhou Empress would not only be slapping her face but also the face of the entire Human Race!

The other party might become enraged and pursue him regardless of the consequences!

This was too risky; he absolutely wouldn't do it!

As if discerning his thoughts, the Demon Emperor's faint voice came from within, "If it succeeds, this Emperor can bestow upon you the method to Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Second Realm."

Rolling Pig Demon King's previously mournful face, upon hearing that he could Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Second Realm, immediately did a 180-degree turn, revealing a fawning smile.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you truly know this demon. Honestly, no other demon can complete this mission except for Old Pig!"

He patted his chest and guaranteed, "Don't worry, I will perfectly complete this mission and present the blood pills to you, not one less!"

Although he was currently at the Middle Stage of the Second Realm, his age was relatively old among the Demon Kings, and his Qi and blood had already begun to deplete.

If he didn't have a fortuitous encounter, he would be stuck at the Middle Stage of the Second Realm for the rest of his life and would die of old age before long.

But now the Demon Emperor actually told him that he had a way to elevate him to the Late Stage of the Second Realm. This was undoubtedly a light at the end of the tunnel, his last straw!

"Don't be too happy yet. If it fails, then sacrifice your clansmen to refine the blood pills!" The Demon Emperor's cold voice came, not sounding like a joke at all.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, if Old Pig fails the mission, I will offer the heads of my eighteen hundred sons as atonement!"

He said with firm eyes.

"Hmm, withdraw."

"Yes!"

Rolling Pig Demon King left Demon Emperor City with great ambition, beginning to plot the refinement of blood pills.

Inside the stone chamber.

The Evil Buddha Demon Lord, who had taken Possession of the Demon Emperor, curled his lips slightly, "Heh, these low-level beings are truly easy to deceive. Give them a little benefit, and they wag their tails like dogs."

Crackling! Crackling!

As soon as he finished speaking, electric arcs constantly flickered in the wounds on his body, emitting a charred aroma like fried chicken cutlets.

"Hiss~!"

The Evil Buddha Demon Lord bared his fangs, his face showing pain.

"Damn you, Moye Chen! The Lightning Tribulation you attracted is so terrifying; it makes this Lord suffer the pain of Lightning Tribulation every day even now!" He cursed.

Although he had taken Possession of the Demon Emperor, the injuries sustained by the Demon Emperor's body naturally had to be borne by him.

He originally thought that with his own strength, he would only need half a year to eliminate the Lightning Tribulation, and then he could emerge from seclusion to complete his Demon Race's grand plan.

But he didn't expect the power of this Lightning Tribulation to be so strong that he had to rely on absorbing blood pills to suppress it.

"Hmph! This Lord wants to see how long your Lightning Tribulation can last. When it's over, it will be the Human Race's doomsday!" His eyes were filled with resentment.

Crackling! ! !

The electric arcs on his body flickered again, more intensely than before!

"Ow~"

Inside the stone chamber, the painful groans of the Evil Buddha Demon Lord echoed.
