In the Demon Clan, strength reigns supre, with a more blatant survival of the fittest compared to the Human Race; lower-ranked demons almost dare not resist higher-ranked ones.
Of course, this might also be the reason the Golden Pig Demon chose it.
The Mouse Demon shuffled its steps, approached a black treasure lotus with a mournful expression.
It extended a small paw, under the stern, icy, mocking gazes of other demons at the scene, tore off a petal, hesitated, unsure whether to swallow it.
Yet, after rely five breaths, the petal quickly withered, decayed, and finally disintegrated into powder, dissipating into the air.
"This thing truly cannot be away from its growing place for too long," comnted the Fei Demon with a nod, then its tone turned cold, "Waste another, and I’ll turn you, you foolish mouse, into fertilizer for this treasure lotus!"
Upon hearing this, the Double-headed Mouse Demon shuddered all over, dared not hesitate, and tore off another petal, directly stuffing it into its mouth.
As soon as the lotus petal entered, it lted rapidly, rushing deeper into its body.
In the next mont, the Double-headed Mouse Demon’s eyes widened, feeling a scalding heat flow rampaging inside its body, causing it such pain it almost jumped up.
However, sickly white spots soon spread all over its body, making it go numb, unable to move.
After about a dozen breaths, the Mouse Demon let out a long howl to the sky.
It spewed out billowing white smoke, the odor unpleasant, even containing trace amounts of toxins, nearly filling the entire underground space.
At the sa ti, its aura surged rapidly and violently broke through a barrier.
This turned its physique bright crimson, radiating with light, while ancient beast roars echoed from deep within its body...
After consuming the black treasure lotus, the Double-headed Mouse Demon directly broke through, reaching the Realm of the Fourth Bloodline Transformation!
Seeing this, all the demons showed bright eyes, their breaths starting to grow heavy.
The Demon Clan’s bloodline transformation is not as simple as the Human Race constructing their Spirit Platform, even more difficult in so sense.
Right now, an excellent opportunity to ascend to the heavens lies before them!
Amidst the demons’ fervor, a sinister voice like cold water awakened them all.
"These Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, though they can directly enhance cultivation, co at a significant cost.
You all just saw it; the mouse’s body was paralyzed for a dozen breaths.
It only ate one petal. If it ate two, three, or even the whole flower, it might as well be poisoned to death!" The speaker was the Fei Demon.
Its vertical pupils flickered with thoughtful light, pointing out the dark treasure lotus’s drawbacks.
Upon hearing this, the demons with lower cultivation present were all shocked.
Of course, those at the Demon King bloodline level, with strong survival capability, wouldn’t mind the side effects.
"But if you don’t consu enough, you might not break through.
It’s best to succeed in one go; otherwise, the chance will shrink considerably, possibly missing it forever!" pointed out the Heavenly Horse Demon.
Based on experience, any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are most effective during the first consumption; hence, the larger the dose, the better for breaking through.
"What do you say, what should be done?" the Golden Pig Demon snorted, filled with impatience, as if ready to rush over and devour the treasure lotus whole.
It’s naturally speaking only to Modo, the Heavenly Horse Demon, and the Fei Demon.
The four of them occupy the absolute upper echelon of the food chain, relatively equal in status, not caring about other inferior demons.
"Why not let Boss Modo take it first, then others can consu one by one, how about it?" suggested the Fei Demon.
The Half-Dragon Modo listened, sowhat tempted.
Yet the first to consu the treasure, the two-headed Mouse Demon reminded, "This lotus is excellent in every aspect, except it easily paralyzes the body, making it immobile.
If Boss Modo doesn’t eat enough, there’s no effect; eat too much, the paralysis will surely last longer if encountering other humans..."
Before it finished speaking, the Half-Dragon Modo was suddenly shocked.
It coldly glanced at the Fei Demon, whose icy vertical pupils now seed even more dangerous.
The Mouse Demon worried about human ambushes, but the Half-Dragon Modo knew this place was hidden, unlikely to be found by humans.
Its real concern was other demons with ulterior motives, mainly the Fei Demon, the Heavenly Horse Demon, and the Golden Pig Demon.
If they attacked while it was immobile, wouldn’t it be in danger?
The descendants of the Demon Queen can rally demons outside but have limited deterrence on Demon King bloodlines.
They are competitors in so sense, cooperating only for benefits.
Witnessing the Half-Dragon’s reaction.
The Fei Demon and others had a flash of realization, their expressions instantly darkening.
The dark treasure lotus cannot be picked and must be consud on-site, yet for a breakthrough, the consur has to endure considerable side effects...if a demon ddled in this, the consequences would be dire.
Other demons might persist, no matter the beating, without affecting their survivability.
The top four masters—Half-Dragon, Fei Demon, Heavenly Horse Demon, and Golden Pig Demon—however, are different, able to swiftly kill peers.
"Snort snort, since you all are worried, why not let , old pig, take it first!" proposed the Golden Pig Demon.
"If you break through, succeed into the Sixth Bloodline Transformation.
Who knows if you’ll crave solo consumption by then! With so many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, one might enjoy eating them alone!" laughed the Fei Demon coldly,
"Moreover, devouring our great royal and noble bloodlines might further boost potential!"
Upon hearing the term ’Sixth Bloodline Transformation,’ all demons present were startled.
