Chapter 788 -738: The Demon Race’s Predicament
Sky Wasteland, the Holy Land of the Demon Race.
The current emperor of the Demon Race, the Lion Emperor, who had newly emerged from seclusion, received the news about Pei Xuanjing breaking through the realm and entering the Strongest Realm of the Ninth Spiritual Layer.
“He was originally just at the eighth level of the Spiritual Realm, his strength alone was enough to suppress the strongest. Now that he has advanced further, even I, the emperor, cannot easily suppress him.” A hint of wariness flashed in the Lion Emperor’s eyes.
Although he only met Pei Xuanjing in an incarnation, the terrifying aura he felt from Pei Xuanjing was very sensitive to a strong being like the Lion Emperor. He could feel Pei Xuanjing’s strength.
“The human race keeps producing strong individuals, while my Demon Race seems to be running out of successors,” a hint of gloom that was hard to dissipate lingered in the Lion Emperor’s heart.
For thousands of years, the human race and the Demon Race have been at a stalemate. Neither side could harm the other unless the strength was evenly matched. Both parties would prefer nothing more than to destroy the other and then dominate this world.
In the past few thousand years, no new strongest individuals have emerged among the Demon Race, while the human race has already promoted two. Even though Pei Xuanjing suppressed the newly promoted Taixu Venerable, the strength Pei Xuanjing showed was enough to match several ordinary strongest individuals, making him a true lord among the strongest.
Although the life span of the Demon Race is longer than that of the human race, this lack of successors is unthinkable and makes the Lion Emperor, the leader of the Demon Race, worry.
The current human race seems to be favored by Heaven and Earth, with strong individuals constantly emerging. Once the two races merge, the human race will benefit more, leading to the emergence of more strong individuals. Such a situation would disrupt the balance of strength between the human race and the Demon Race, and over time, the gap will only grow larger.
