The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine
Chapter 1191 - Chapter 1191 Chapter 1191 Intelligence

Chapter 1191: Chapter 1191: Intelligence Chapter 1191: Chapter 1191: Intelligence For those high-level planes, whether it be the Immortal Realm, the Dragon Realm, or even the so-called “Demon Realm” known now, Huang Xiaolong was extremely interested.

The Demon King wasn’t afraid of Huang Xiaolong but harbored a deep-seated fear of Bai Chan, like a mouse fearing a cat.

Moreover, Huang Xiaolong had killed the Demon King’s son, and between them ran a blood feud that could not be shared under the heavens.

Therefore, when faced with Huang Xiaolong’s questioning, the Demon King instinctively felt some resistance.

Huang Xiaolong knew this all too well, and without hesitation, he directly used the Divine Skills of the Yin Emperor–Transfiguration!

He transfigured the voracious great demon on the spot!

By forcefully brainwashing it, he made it into a puppet, a loyal dog, a servant for the Yin Prince.

Since the art of Transfiguration was effective on Bai Chan, it was likewise effective on the Demon King Taotie.

This transfiguration process went on for an entire day and night until the Demon King’s last shred of independent individuality began to fade away.

Ultimately, when the Demon King looked at Huang Xiaolong, the wildness, defiance, arrogance, and that hint of unavoidable hatred and venom hiding in his demon eyes were all completely eradicated, never to appear again. His face showed absolute loyalty and obedience to Huang Xiaolong, much like a stray dog begging for affection.

At this moment, the thing the Demon King inherently feared most in his heart was no longer the Long Clan, but Huang Xiaolong.

Having become a puppet of the Yin Emperor, under Huang Xiaolong’s command, the Demon King could forcibly suppress the fear rooted in his bloodline, launching a fearless and fierce attack against the Long Clan!

“All right, we’re all on the same side now,” Huang Xiaolong said with a satisfied smile, his eyes sweeping over the Demon King, Bai Chan, Nangong Hong, Emei sect members–all bowing their heads submissively like subjects. He suddenly realized his power was becoming greater and greater.

“Master~” The Demon King knelt sincerely, his face aglow with pride as if being Huang Xiaolong’s loyal dog was the fortune of his life.

“Speak. About the Demon Realm,” Huang Xiaolong asked straightforwardly.

“To report to master, regarding the Demon Realm, it comes from some things awakened within this slave’s bloodline,” the Demon King immediately responded.

Awakening within the bloodline?

Huang Xiaolong was somewhat puzzled.

“My lord, cultivators from the Human Clan talk about talent, destiny, realms… many factors, but neither our Long Clan nor the Demon Race dwell on these. What we value lies in our bloodline,” Bai Chan explained dutifully on the side.

“Oh?” Huang Xiaolong began to understand.

In simple terms, for a human to become supreme, there are too many subjective and objective factors involved. Even ordinary people talk about having one’s fate, two’s fortune, three’s geomancy, four’s accumulation of virtue, five’s scholarship…

But the Long and Demon clans did not care for these trifles. All these were insubstantial.

For them, a strong bloodline, a noble bloodline, was enough.

For example, a white dragon, no matter how hard it cultivated or how much effort it put in, could never cross its class boundary, break through barriers, and surpass the Azure Dragon or the Red Dragon.

Similarly, creatures from the Demon Race like yellow-skinned goblins, snakes, hedgehogs, foxes… no matter if they cultivated for tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even tens of millions of years, they could not surpass Taotie.

The bloodline is supreme!

“Go on,” Huang Xiaolong urged the Demon King.

“Erm~ Master, as a Taotie, one of the ancient fierce beasts, my bloodline is considered not bad within the Demon Race,” the Demon King respectfully replied. “Creatures like us, our spells derive from the awakening of our bloodlines.”

Huang Xiaolong understood. A demon of high-grade lineage like Taotie wielded various world-shattering, wind-summoning and rain-calling Demon Arts and Spells, Divine Skills that were not passed down by a master or inherited but were instead awakened within their bloodlines, as if they were innate.

That was the advantage of a superior bloodline!

“Master, indeed. The servant knows that some pure-blooded great demons awaken hundreds or thousands of Demon Arts within their bloodlines. They can casually whip out a few of these Demon Arts to recruit endless hordes of lesser demons. After all, those lesser demons have low-level bloodlines, incapable of awakening any techniques for cultivation,” Bai Chan elaborated by the side.

“Master, that’s how it is. For example, yellow-skinned goblins typically do not awaken any Demon Arts within their bloodline. Only some exceptional yellow-skinned goblins have the chance to awaken a few weak Demon Arts. Even the current Patriarch of the yellow-skinned goblins has only awakened one or two somewhat decent Demon Arts. But as of now, I have awakened 987 Demon Arts, each capable of destroying cities and taking lives,” the Demon King added eagerly. “That is the difference between great demons and lesser demons–vast as heaven and earth.”

“The information about the Demon Realm comes from the awakening in your bloodline?” Huang Xiaolong came to a realization.

“Yes, master. About a thousand years ago, I awakened to a few things in my bloodline. It let me know that in the higher worlds, there is a Demon Realm!” the Demon King said, his eyes gleaming. “Among these awakenings, there is a method to connect with the Demon Realm!”

“What method?” Huang Xiaolong’s pupils constricted.

“It is to build an altar,” the Demon King reported truthfully. “It is an enormous altar, towering like a city wall, covering an area of dozens of miles. The altar has over a billion demon race inscriptions engraved on it and is inlaid with a great amount of materials.”

“For over a thousand years, this servant has secretly been constructing this altar, lying dormant and making no appearance. Fortunately, the overseas world is quite rich in resources. The bottom of the sea also has many precious materials.” The Demon King smiled, a trace of instinctive pride flashing across his face. “It took over a thousand years–this servant has toiled, pouring heart and soul into this, sparing no effort–finally! Finally, it is complete! If it weren’t for reaching the most critical step, where this servant could not leave, I would have invaded the Huaxia central lands long ago, swept across everything, established a Demon Race dynasty, and taken control once more!”

Huang Xiaolong sneered, “Taken control once more? What a joke, with me around, even if you invade Huaxia, I could crush you in minutes.”

“Yes, yes, the master is invincible, this servant was indulging in wishful thinking.” The Demon King kowtowed continuously in fear and sincerity.

“Continue,” Huang Xiaolong urged.

“Yes, Master. After completing the altar, this servant tried to communicate with the Demon World,” the Demon King said with a trembling voice, full of unbearable excitement. “This servant was successful!!! Several days ago, this servant finally received a response from the Demon World! Hahaha! On Earth, this low-level planet, this servant successfully communicated with the Demon World! How miraculous is that!”

Pausing for a moment, the Demon King continued. “The Demon World knows that this servant’s true form is a pure-blooded Taotie, and they do value this servant somewhat. The Taotie clan, even in the Demon World, still lead a quite comfortable life. If it were a lowly demon beast, like lions, tigers, bears, or eagles, even if they miraculously communicated with the Demon World, they wouldn’t be noticed or valued.”

“During the communication, this servant, eager to make a contribution and draw the Demon World’s attention, reported a secret of Earth,” the Demon King said, holding nothing back.

Huang Xiaolong’s heart stirred. “Are you referring to the mysterious black knives?”

“That’s right, Master is truly foresighted. About those mysterious black knives, the Shushan sect fancied that only they were privy to the secret, which is laughable. This servant is an ancient great demon that has lived for countless years. I do know a thing or two about the secrets of those nine mysterious black knives.”

The Demon King went on nonstop. “A long, long time ago, an Immortal from the Celestial Realm accidentally descended to Earth. This Immortal left a cave dwelling, as well as nine black knives. Inside the dwelling, there was the Immortal’s treasure, and an ancient Formation for ascending to the Celestial Realm–gathering all nine black knives, one could get a glimpse of their connection to immortality.”

“This servant reported everything exactly as it was. Unexpectedly, the Demon World considered it to be of great importance,” the Demon King said repeatedly. “The Demon World issued an order to this servant–to seize the nine black knives at all costs! However, this servant, being weak and alone, could not confront the five Immortal realm experts of the Human Clan. Therefore, the Demon World sent a demon symbol through the altar, granting this servant a charm! This charm contained the might and aura of many ferocious beasts, and once used, it would severely injure the five Immortal realm experts of the Human Clan. With that, this servant could kill them one by one! Leaderless, this servant could exploit the victory, not only snatch the black knife from the hands of the second ancestor of Shushan but also wipe out all the overseas cultivators of the Human Clan in one fell swoop! It’s just a pity, encountering you, Master, my work fell short. Otherwise, the entire overseas cultivators’ world, all sects, Loose Cultivators, would likely have been slaughtered by this servant! Devoured!”

Hearing this, things began to fall into place.

A shadow emerged in Huang Xiaolong’s heart.

The secret of the Immortal’s cave dwelling on Earth had been leaked, and to the Demon World, no less!

This would likely bring an unparalleled disaster upon Earth!

“It seems Earth is truly on the brink of change, no longer the peaceful haven it once was,” Huang Xiaolong murmured to himself, before questioning the Demon King further. “This altar you’ve built, can it allow a great demon from the Demon World to directly descend? Or, can you use the altar to enter the Demon World?”

This was a key point. If the great demons of the Demon World could freely descend through the altar set up by the Demon King, then Earth would be doomed. Even Huang Xiaolong, the Yin Emperor, would be unable to withstand the cataclysm alone.

“No–your servant reports, Master, that the great demons of the Demon World cannot descend to Earth. First, the altar this servant has built is not stable enough to bear the descent of great demons; if one were to take the risk of descending forcibly, it might shatter the spatial passage, leading to a violent death. Second, compared to the Demon World, this planet Earth is too fragile. Even if a great demon were to descend by chance, it could cause the Earth to shatter instantly, creating a terrifying spatial storm, and the countless debris of Earth would be a lethal blow to the descending demon.”

“As for this servant, I lack the ability to ascend to the Demon Realm through the altar,” the Demon King narrated. “However, the Demon Realm promised that if I managed to seize the remaining black dagger and find the Immortal’s cave dwelling, and acquire all the treasures within, they would find a way to let this servant ascend. Although I possess a decent bloodline, I have been living on Earth since I was young, absorbing only low-grade energy, the dregs, which have limited my growth. But once ascended to the Demon Realm, it will be an entirely different world, where I can grow into a true great demon!”

After hearing all this, Huang Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, those pure-blooded great demons from the Demon Realm were restricted and couldn’t descend at will through the altar built by the Demon King. This spared Earth from a catastrophe.

This was a stroke of luck for Earth.

It made sense–after all, even the Long Clan could only send down two of their members separately through the space transmission channel built near the dragon relics altar.

Bai Chan had already arrived, which meant that space channel could only be used one last time.

As long as Huang Xiaolong could withstand the second Long Clan member descending, everything would be permanently resolved, and all would be well.

“Young Master, what shall we do now?” Bai Chan asked.

“Let’s not worry about those Immortals for now, they are all seriously injured, and those two black daggers will be mine sooner or later. I want to go see the Demon King’s lair for myself and take a look at that altar,” Huang Xiaolong pondered for a moment before stating his intention.

“But before we go there, there are some matters I need to attend to.” Huang Xiaolong’s thoughts stirred slightly as he looked towards the distant underworld.

In the distance, amidst the howling winds, five sacred glows flickered, illuminating eternity and penetrating even the dark and evil underworld with their bright radiance.

These were the five Divine Powers that Huang Xiaolong had detected.

Wind! Rain! Thunder! Lightning! Cloud!

Divine Power was something that ordinary people, even Immortal realm giants, could only borrow occasionally and never assimilate.

But for a deity like Huang Xiaolong, they had tremendous use!

“I’ll go take care of these five Divine Powers first!” a fiery light flashed in Huang Xiaolong’s eyes.
