Chapter 512: Godly Thunder Demon King, Bloodline of the Thunder Sovereign

The two maintained their Spirit Sense within a fixed range, acting according to their instincts.

The Thunder Desert State was completely devoid of human traces; even the thunderproof structures that had once been built were thoroughly damaged due to lack of maintenance.

“Aaargh!”

Batu-like thunder demons burst forth with yellow lightning, streaking across the ground and unleashing massive electrical attacks towards Yun Ye.

This wasn’t ordinary lightning; it possessed destructive capacity at least equivalent to the law realms, almost terrifying to the extreme.

Because this was nothing less than a massive swarm of creatures!

“Aaargh!”

Hundreds of human-sized thunder demons flew by, unleashing lightning in an attempt to encircle Yun Ye.

Yun Ye’s actions were also peculiar; he killed them one by one, not finishing them all at once, undoubtedly provoking the fury of the thunder demons.

They came in waves, tirelessly assaulting him.

“151… 180… 200…”

Upon reaching the number two hundred, the mist before Yun Ye dispersed, and a strong correlation guided him to completion.

Indeed, the reason Yun Ye descended into the material realm and exposed himself to these thunder demons was due to a premonition.

Before the World God descended, thunder demons were merely disaster-level monsters. Now, in this era, how could they appear in such terrifying numbers with the destructive capacity of the law realms?

Although it wasn’t their realm, the destructive capacity of the law realms was still too fearsome. An area with so many law realms simply could not be supported by the spirit energy.

Even demons have their own ecology; the more powerful the demon, the rarer it is. In high-level demons, the situation of living in groups hardly exists.

Unless the spirit energy was rich enough to gather into lakes, allowing free movement within it.

The Thunder Desert State clearly did not meet this criterion; in fact, the spirit energy density was quite low, even less than that of the Luo Dynasty, theoretically unable to sustain so many thunder demons’ growth.

“Providing spirit energy to this group of thunder demons across these thousands of miles could barely support them. However, thunder demons are not particularly powerful monsters, and now they have transformed into dead thunder demons, losing reproductive abilities. Every time one dies, it means one less…”

The nature of dead thunder demons differed from General Black Tiger; one lacked Spiritual Intelligence while the other possessed it, with the former unable to cultivate offspring independently.

Such a number was truly abnormal.

The threads of causality were linked.

Yun Ye’s gaze suddenly projected thousands of miles away.

Images flashed by—roaring demons clashing with humans, blood spilling everywhere.

A formidable being, wrapped in thunder and towering in the sky like a thunder god, battled against numerous strong opponents among humans, clearly holding overwhelming advantages.

The scene zoomed out, revealing a massive demon kingdom, where mass-produced demons poured forth to the front lines, devouring multiple surrounding countries.

Among them were humans and demons, accepting all who approached.

“Kill!!”

A roar echoed, faintly heard even by Yun Ye, who had just stepped into the Thunder Desert State, traveling at least twenty thousand miles.

Yun Ye exchanged a serious glance with Ming Ri.

“This power… it can destroy countries at an unprecedented level!”

“It seems that the Thunder Desert State has birthed a monster; a demon is rising against the heavens!”

Demons grow slowly, needing thousands of years of consistent cultivation. They often lie dormant in one place to minimize the depletion of their lifespan.

However, ever since the World God descended, the rules of slaughter shrouded the Red Heaven realm. As long as there is slaughter, demons can continually grow, making it incredibly advantageous for talented demons.

This talent refers to the path of bloodline advancement; if the power contained within the bloodline allows a demon to grow to the king of the Manifest Realm or even the Monster King, with the World God’s rules of slaughter and through massive amounts of killing, it could be entirely possible to achieve this.

And the demon before them clearly possessed bloodline power far beyond that of the Flying Zombie. With no special thresholds in place, as long as the power was sufficient, it could advance steadily.

If given a little more time, this demon would likely advance to become a king of the Manifest Realm, becoming one of the sources of demon bloodlines.

Furthermore, Yun Ye could assert that this demon was definitely not an exception. Countless demons exist in the Red Heaven realm, with many having powerful bloodlines.

The collapse of the Celestial Empire and the descent of the World God are directly related to the fall of the Monarchs, but the second factor is undoubtedly connected to the significant strengthening of demons.

“Using this power seems to have severely crippled the human forces in the Red Heaven realm…”

“We should go take a look!”

Yun Ye pinpointed the battlefield’s exact location using causality techniques. Stepping forward, the world shifted, and the sounds of battle rang continuously in his ears.

Like a ghost, he took a look and disappeared again, avoiding reckless actions. Instead, he headed towards the nearby human kingdoms.

The remaining human kingdoms had all erected barriers to isolate themselves from the calamities, which clearly required immense spirit energy, only a few Spirit Cities were able to manage it.

These Spirit Cities were bursting with spirit energy, and there were very few mortal residents. In order to fend off the calamities, various major powers opened up knowledge about cultivation, selecting talents to join the battle.

Inside the Spirit Cities, the atmosphere was extremely tense, with many cultivators engaged in intense discussions.

“The Godly Thunder Demon King has launched war again! His strength is growing more fearsome, and even three real people together cannot deal with him. If it weren’t for the suppression by the Taoist artifact, the frontline would likely have reached the Spirit Cities, relying solely on super formations for defense!”

“He’s grown so quickly! What about the Monarchs of the dynasty and the Holy Sect? Isn’t there a cultivator among the countless talents of the Holy Sect who can keep pace with his growth?”

“It’s too difficult. Although thunder demons are lowly and often only roam in the spiritual realm, they genuinely possess the bloodline of the Thunder Sovereign. If enough power is activated, they can ascend directly to the Manifest Realm!”

“If he truly is that strong, why didn’t he show it before?”

“How could he? There were no bizarre killing rules shrouding the world in the past. This is a rule that directly enhances any powers through slaughter. Even the weak bloodline thunder demons can rise rapidly, tracing back their ancestry! Under normal circumstances, you would need at least a top-tier Treasure Pill to awaken the bloodline of a thunder demon!”

“A top-tier Treasure Pill takes a super spirit vein to nurture for ten thousand years to mature. Thunder demons are so lowly; where can one find such a thing?”

“Indeed, only the source race, the Godly Thunder Demons, could cultivate such a top-tier Treasure Pill, and there wouldn’t be many of them. At most, they could barely awaken the bloodline, not comparable to this slaughter rule. The Godly Thunder Demon King likely has already traced back his ancestry, directly catching up to the Thunder Sovereign’s direct descendants.”

“The direct descendants of the Monarch? That’s so terrifying?!”

“It’s not as scary as it sounds. Talent is talent; methods are methods, and they cannot be treated the same way. The direct descendants of Monarchs are indeed formidable in terms of talent, but in reality, there are almost none who can truly catch up to the source of the bloodline. Demons are different from us humans; their direct descendants becoming Monarchs will not be obstructed by the Fourth Heaven!”

“What? Then it means that demons might appear simultaneously as multiple Monarchs?”

“Don’t mislead the younger generation; no one knows the specifics. This claim is completely speculative. Multiple Monarchs? If that were true, the human race would have long been extinguished. How could we still occupy vast lands? Is this ambitious Godly Thunder Demon King really an exception? Is it the only one establishing a demon kingdom and attacking humans?”
