"Jiang Yangzi, I admit your cultivation is impressive, capable of fighting me to a standstill for thousands of years. But I also want you to know, it's not that I couldn't kill you; it's that every time the Demon King increases his strength, he must undergo a complete rebirth. My cultivation hadn't reached that threshold before, so I was merely toying with you. Now that I have attained it, I intend to use your powers to achieve my rebirth."
Jiang Yangzi's face drained of color. Naturally, he knew that the Demon Realm's method of advancing cultivation differed entirely from that of cultivators.
Every time a demonic cultivator advanced their cultivation, they had to experience death—and crucially, that death had to be inflicted by a mortal cultivator. Only then would the process take effect. This was because demonic cultivators accumulated excessive Yin energy, requiring the pure Yang energy of cultivators to neutralize the nether-Yin force within them.
