"Jiang Yangzi, I admit your cultivation is impressive, capable of fighting me to a stalemate for thousands of years. But I also want you to know: it is not that I couldn't kill you, but rather that every time a Demon King elevates his power, he must undergo a rebirth. Previously, my cultivation had not yet reached that threshold, so I merely toyed with you. Now that I have reached it, I wish to borrow your power to achieve my rebirth."
Jiang Yangzi's face drained of color. Naturally, he knew that the Demonic realm's ascension differed entirely from that of mortal cultivators.
Every time a demonic cultivator raised their cultivation realm, they had to experience death—and crucially, that death had to be dealt at the hands of a cultivator for the effect to take hold. Because demonic cultivators accumulated an excess of Yin energy, they required the pure Yang energy of orthodox cultivators to dissolve the heavy Pure Yin Qi clinging to them.
