"The black-blood demons and the chaotic-blood demons, on the other hand, work in the most barren lands and the most dangerous mines all day long. What we eat is the leftovers that their claws and teeth leak out. We live in fear every day. Should we die, our bodies will rot in the mud, and we may not even have a tombstone. What we get in the end is less than one percent of theirs!
"Even if we swallow everything, they still won't let go of us. They still want us to go to the Tian Yuan Realm as cannon fodder to fulfill their ambitions!"
"That's enough. This is our Dao!"
Lei Chuang said coldly. "Everything in the world is training. As chaotic-blood demons, all the pain and suffering are tests that the Primeval Lord of Heaven bestowed upon us!
"As long as we stick to our belief, endure, and dedicate our everything loyally, when the glorious Pantheon of Demons arrives, we will be able to get rid of our filthy bloodlines and embark on the immortal path to godhood, just like the silver-blood demons and the saint-blood demons!"
Lei Qi laughed so hard that he was almost crying. "Ah Chuang, you are too naïve. Do you really believe in the glorious Pantheon of Demons and that our bloodlines are different from those of the high-level demons?"
Lei Chuang put on a scornful expression. "Of course I do, because it was you who told me everything, wasn't it?
"Wasn't it you, my big brother, who told me a long time ago that the Primeval Lord of Heaven, the three thousand Great Daos, the glorious Pantheon of Demons, destruction, rebirth, and immortality?
"Weren't you the one who told me that we must train ourselves crazily so that we could run toward the glorious destruction and welcome the glorious rebirth on the battlefield one day?
"Weren't you the one who told me that we must remember the contempt of the silver-blood demons, the exploitation of the bronze-blood demons, and the bullying of the black-blood demons? Is this the path that the Primeval Lord of Heaven bestowed upon us and the most important training for us?
"Speak!"
"Weren't you the one whom I admire the most? Was it my most trusted big brother who told me that?
"Big brother! What happened to you exactly? Why did you leave the village without saying anything half a year ago? Why did you leave an uncanny letter saying that everything was fake and that you had joined the Blade of Chaos?
"What exactly did you encounter during the two days we went hunting in the depths of the Hundred Desolation Mountain, encountered the fog, and got lost?!"
"Have you really been bewitched by Chaos and lost your will? Tell me. Big brother! "
Lei Qi took a deep breath and smiled a little bleakly. "I'm sorry, Chuang. In the past, I firmly believed it, and what I told you was all false."
"The saint blood, the silver blood, the bronze blood, the black blood, and the chaotic-blood demons are all the same. There is no distinction between our bloodlines.
"I don't believe it!"
Lei Chuang gritted his teeth, his face full of anger. "The Feather Race soars in the sky. The Claw Clan roars in the forests, the Insect Clan hibernates on the ground, and the Sea Clan roams the blue waves! "
"A high-level demon. They are majestic, graceful, and inviolable. The chaotic-blood demons are born with the features of multiple demons. They can be described as ugly!
"You can tell the difference with a single glance. How can our bloodlines be the same?"
Lei Qi said, "I know you don't believe it. I didn't believe such a ridiculous statement at first, until I saw it with my own eyes."
"You know. Why did I run away from home half a year ago? Why did I join the Blade of Chaos? "
"It was a hunting trip in the desolation mountain. Encountering a rare fog, I was separated from you. But I found a heavily wounded demon below a cliff. He was a member of the Blade of Chaos. "
"Then, he bewitched you," Lei Chuang said coldly.
Lei Qi put on an indescribable expression. "Maybe, but not in the way that you imagined. It was like this."
He struggled to stand up from the branches.
Lei Chuang lowered his body warily, ready to attack at any moment.
Lei Qi simply smiled. He did not move, but he pressed the center of his eyebrows softly with two hairy fingers.
In the dark forest, a weird air was spreading out in all directions.
"Gua! Gua! "
Two weird birds soared to the sky with tails as long as whips and flew toward the bloody moon.
"Hu …"
Lei Qi's fingers seemed to have pierced into the center of his eyebrows and into the depths of his brain. He was trembling, and his back was soaked in sweat. His bones were cracking.
What happened next greatly surprised both Lei Chuang and Li Yao, who was lurking in the darkness.
The few features of the demon race on Lei Qi's body were all absorbed into his body. His golden hair fell off. His sharp canines and claws were all retracted. His fingers became long and slender, and his skin became smooth. Judging from his appearance, he was a human being with thick hair!
Lei Chuang was dazed. "You've grasped the ability of 'shapeshifting' after only half a year?"
The so-called 'shapeshifting' was a demonic art that allowed a demon to completely hide their dominant genes and all the features of the demon race, allowing them to assume the appearance of a human being.
Many high-level demons could completely assume the appearance of a human being after they reached a certain level.
Many demons would even sneak into the Tian Yuan Realm with such an ability for intelligence and sabotage.
Therefore, the Xing Yao Federation had been particularly strict about the quarantine of the human-shaped demons. Li Yao had been through a high-level quarantine after the beast tide on the train.
Lei Qi seemed to be in his thirties at most. He did not seem to be a high-level demon in terms of bloodline, either. Yet, he had the ability of shapeshifting. Li Yao secretly frowned.
Lei Qi struggled to smile. Then, he suddenly widened his eyes and bellowed. Goosebumps were popping up all over his body. After a series of hair-raising noises of his skin being torn apart, a layer of vague golden scales grew out of his body.
In the center of every golden scale, there was a round green spot.
At first glance, it seemed that countless green eyes had grown out of his body, which were glittering in the dark forest and emitting mysterious and weird colors.
Li Yao and Lei Chuang were both shocked!
"Green Eyes Dragon Scales?"
Lei Chuang stammered. "This — this is the most distinctive feature of the 'Hundred-Eyed Flood Dragon', a silver-blood demon. It is unique. Only the members of the Hundred-Eyed Flood Dragon have such features. How — how is it possible?"
Lei Qi did not seem to be able to maintain the form for long. He shook his body, and the green eyes dragon scales were absorbed into his body again, and he assumed the appearance of a human being again.
The transformation just now had consumed a lot of his energy. His face was even paler, but he was rather excited. He smiled and said, "Did you see it? This is how the leader of the Blade of Chaos bewitched me!
"You and I are blood brothers. Nobody knows better than you that, although we are chaotic-blood demons, none of our ancestors are members of the Hundred-Eyed Flood Dragon.
"We do not have the bloodline of the Hundred-Eyed Flood Dragon, but we can trigger the features of the Hundred-Eyed Flood Dragon as long as we train ourselves. What does it mean?
"It means that the blood of all demons is the same!
"The Hundred-Eyed Flood Dragon, the Phantom Wolf, the Thunderous Lion … All demons have the same blood flowing in their veins. The only difference is that the features are triggered in different ways. What's the difference?
"Impossible. It's absolutely impossible!"
Lei Chuang was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue. I'm told that the members of the Blade of Chaos are capable of changing their appearance freely. However, even if their appearance is that of the Hundred-Eyed Flood Dragon, their bloodline must be different. It is just a trick! "
"Trust me, Ah Chuang!" Lei Qi said sincerely.
"I am too weak right now. It's true that I can only reshape my appearance.
"However, many experts of the Blade of Chaos boast the abilities of 'thirty-six transformations' and 'seventy-two transformations', which allow them to change their appearance freely among different kinds of demons. Every time they change their appearance, they will be able to use the naturally-endowed skills of the demon race!
"If they can even use their naturally-endowed skills, do you think their bloodline has changed?"
Lei Chuang was dumbfounded, unable to say anything for a long time.
Li Yao felt that thunder was rumbling inside his head. He felt that everything he knew about demons in the past twenty years had been blown apart by the few words.
"Are you kidding me? Seventy-two transformations? Switching between seventy-two kinds of demons freely? What — what kind of monster is that? "
"It doesn't make any sense at all!"
Lei Chuang stammered. "Can all demons change their appearance freely like that?"
"Exactly."
Lei Qi nodded. "As long as you grasp the arts and train yourself hard, all demons can change their appearance freely. The silver-blood demons can turn into black-blood demons, and black-blood demons can turn into silver-blood demons. The Feather Clan can turn into the Sea Clan, and the Sea Clan can turn into the Claw Clan.
"However, the chaotic-blood demons are better at such transformations than other demons. As long as we train ourselves, we will be able to switch into one or two different forms.
"How should I put it? It's like there is a solid lock inside the cells of all demons that locks us to a certain fixed form. The 'lock' of the chaotic-blood demons, on the other hand, is weaker than that of other demons.
"This is why the high-level demons are scared of us!"
Lei Chuang was dazed. "Scared?"
"Yes," Lei Qi said coldly. "They are scared of us. The high and mighty silver-blood demons and bronze-blood demons are scared of the filthy, lowly bastards like us!
"In the entire Blood Demon Sector, the silver-blood demons only take up five percent of the population, the bronze-blood demons only ten percent, and the black-blood demons and the chaotic-blood demons take up eighty-five percent!
"In the past, they claimed that they were born noble and that it was only natural that they should rule over us!
"However, if everybody's bloodline is the same, and the only difference is that the bloodline is activated in different forms, what reason do they have to be high and mighty?
"Therefore, they are scared of us, and they are exploiting and weakening us in every possible way!
"Moreover, wasn't the war between the Blood Demon Sector and the Heaven's Origin Sector a way to weaken and contain us, too?
"Why do you think they gave us the power to wage war? Why did they fabricate the 'glorious Pantheon of Demons' to deceive us?
"Because there are too many low-level demons in the Blood Demon Sector, enough to threaten their reign. Organizations such as the 'Blade of Chaos' have even arisen, which makes them tremble in fear from the bottom of their hearts!
"Therefore, they are trying everything they can to trick us into going to the Tian Yuan Realm as cannon fodder to fight against human beings!
