Chapter 596 - 271: Is This All the Demonic Dao Has? No Wonder the Righteous Dao Overwhelms You

"What’s the matter, Mr. Xu Shiqing?" Lu Wenwu asked with a smile.

While the other Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators were still wondering who Xu Shiqing was, Blood River Demon Venerable had already mastered his turbulent emotions and returned the smile.

"It’s nothing, it’s my honor to alleviate your troubles and solve your doubts."

Only now did he possess a bit of the confidence and air befitting the Uncrowned King of the Demonic Dao.

This wasn’t because he suddenly had a card that could rival Lu Wenwu.

Only because the Blood River Demon Venerable had completely confirmed that the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable before him in human form was indeed the contemporary Dragon Emperor, whose true appearance was known to none in the world!

The Uncrowned King of the Demon Race!

The true ruler of the seas!

After thoroughly confirming this, the burden in his heart was let go entirely, devoid of any tension and fear.

When the gap is within a certain distance, it incites jealousy, envy, panic... and many other different emotions.

But when the gap is so vast that it seems like a divine punishment, people instead become calm.

Because, in the face of the identity of the contemporary Dragon Emperor, everything that Lu Wenwu had done previously, the Immortal Dao Alliance’s evaluation of him, people’s views of him, all the efforts others made in front of him... none of it held any significance anymore.

Everything condensed into two words—Dragon Emperor!

The most formidable existence among this generation of the Dragon Race, the ruler of the seas for the next ten thousand years.

The only thing that can dictate his style is his own preference.

All morals, concepts, and positions can no longer become shackles and chains restricting or influencing him.

This is a True Dragon.

This is the Dragon Emperor!

A ruler of a powerful race inherited through generations since the dawn of time, the eternal master of the seas!

The Dragon Race is invincible, free at will, yet lazy.

This has become the consensus among cultivators throughout the world.

As seas change to mulberry fields, as time morphs and the Cultivation Realm has changed dynasties countless times, innumerable inheritances and daos have cycled through countless rounds, the Dragon Race always leisurely lounges in the depths of the sea in their Dragon Palace, smiling lazily at it all.

This is not due to others’ flattering honorifics.

It’s the fame established by the True Dragon Race through their claws and methods, generation after generation!

The True Dragon Race is synonymous with invincibility in the same realm.

"Honored, are you? Very well, I was originally worried that you might have some lingering discomfort," Lu Wenwu chuckled while patting the dog’s head.

Such behavior surely puzzled the Supreme Elders of the Blood Refining Demon Palace, leaving them clueless about what kind of riddle the two were playing.

"Speaking of which, Fellow Daoist Xue He, have you realized a problem yourself?" Lu Wenwu suddenly said without context, "Something is off with you demonic cultivators..."

"That address as Fellow Daoist is truly more than I deserve, how can I compare daos with you? Just call me Xiaoxu." Blood River Demon Venerable smiled wryly immediately, "Xiaoxu is dull, please advise me one or two things."

The other Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators finally reacted with belated realization.

What the heck!

Is Xu Shiqing the name of Blood River Ancestor before he made a name for himself?

What kind of background does this Violent Dragon Demon Venerable have to make even the Sect Leader willing to call himself Xiaoxu?

Even back when Blood River Demon Venerable’s master, the previous elder sect leader of the Blood Refining Demon Palace, was alive, Blood River Demon Venerable never humbled himself as a junior, and later directly committed patricide to ascend to the position—a commonplace practice in the Demonic Dao, very normal.

Although Violent Dragon Demon Venerable is strong, could he push Blood River Demon Venerable to humiliate himself to this extent?

Indeed, humiliation.

In the eyes of the other Supreme Elders, it appears this way.

Where is your pride as the number one figure in the Demonic Dao? Your arrogance? Your unyielding nature?

Now at the sight of Violent Dragon Demon Venerable, you’re fawning like this?

Truly losing all face!

The Supreme Elders were filled with indignation, unanimously expressing that the Sect Leader was far too excessive, practically disregarding the honor and shame of the sect!

If you’re going to fawn now, what should we do?

At least coordinate with us, so we can do it together!

Start fawning!

Lu Wenwu paid no attention to these old fellows who began frantically pledging loyalty, instead directly driving them all out due to the noise.

Once only two remained in the room, he did not directly explain the previous issue, but instead raised another question.

"I wonder if, when you review things yourself, can you summarize why the Demonic Dao is suppressed by the Righteous Dao?"

"Clearly you have unleashed your nature, broken free from ethical and moral constraints, and your combat power at the same level far exceeds the Righteous Dao, your cultivation speed advancing rapidly."

"Logically, you should have the advantage."

"But what was the result? You are not only entirely suppressed by the Immortal Dao Alliance, but even when facing the Demon Race, appear timid and apprehensive."

"Have you ever contemplated, why exactly is this?"

Blood River Demon Venerable thought for a moment and responded, "We cultivate humans as livestock, selecting cultivator candidates to initiate them into the Demonic Dao, but neglecting the tempering and education of their state of mind, resulting in less cohesion than the Immortal Dao Alliance?"

"Our cultivation speed is fast, but disciples generally lack a strong sense of belonging to their sect, and betrayal, ambushes, deceit... such behaviors are prevalent in the Demonic Dao, severely reducing our combat efficacy, making teamwork difficult, not to mention resource integration and combined defense against enemies."

"Scattered is like the stars in the sky, gathered is a stinking pile of dung. To put it bluntly, demonic cultivators are generally selfish, cold-blooded, and self-serving, only banding together under external pressure to survive."
