On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"Wait! What?!"

"I never knew demons could regenerate like that."

Chen Tian stopped, his eyebrows knitting together in surprise.

He had fought many demons in his previous life; sure, they were stronger than beasts or humans of the same level, but they couldn't regenerate like this.

"You're mistaken!" Wu Ye said.

"Even in the immortal realm, no race acts like them. Demons don't care if you're human or any other race—they'll hunt you if it helps their power grow. They'll even hunt other demons if needed.

Their aggressive behavior and endless desire for power are why they're a threat to all living things and why they were eventually hunted down."

Observing Chen Tian's stunned look, Wu Ye sighed and proceeded,

"Let me first clarify what demons are and where they come from. No one truly knows how demons came to be, but there's a myth about the first demon emerging from a huge void that unexpectedly formed in the starry sky.

After this demon appeared, more demons, like apparitions, started to emerge across the Nine Heavens, causing fear and havoc among the inhabitants.

Since no one understood demons or how to stop them, these demons easily took over the Nine Heavens. After that, humans were captured and treated like toys and food by the demons.

The demons drank their blood, ate their meat, and even crushed their bones—doing all kinds of terrible things.

Luckily, as if sent by the heavens during the worst time for the Nine Heavens, a special person developed methods that allowed cultivators to finally fight against the demons. This person was the Demon Extinguishing Sovereign, the founder of the Demon Sealing Clan."

Wu Ye's words made Chen Tian realize how different their lives were. The more he listened, the more he felt his old understanding of things crumbling.

Learning about the Immortal Realm, the demons, and the strange history made him uneasy. His past life, full of fights and training, now felt like a distant, almost forgotten memory.

From the moment Wu Ye talked about the Immortal Realm, Chen Tian knew that the history of these realms was different from what he had known. All he could do was accept this new reality.

'I need to stop thinking so much about my past and treat this as a fresh start,' Chen Tian thought as he clenched his fists.

"So, it's not possible to kill that demon?"

"No, that demon is just a low-level one, so his ability to heal isn't unstoppable," Wu Ye explained. "But you have to be careful in how you handle it."

Demons are classified into different levels:

Lower Demon

Elite Demon

Superior Demon

Demon General

Demon Emperor

Ancient Demon

The higher the level, the better the demon's ability to heal and the tougher they are to defeat.

A Superior Demon, even if it's only at the Peak Qi Refinement level, could easily overpower a regular human cultivator at the Foundation level.

However, it's uncommon to encounter a Superior Demon in the Qi Refinement Realm, as most of them have cultivation levels in the immortal realm or higher.

"The only way to defeat a demon is to completely destroy them, leaving nothing behind. Alternatively, you can use a demon sealing technique."

"Do you know any?"

"Unfortunately, no. Demon sealing techniques are only known by the demon sealing clan."

Sigh…

'The only option is to kill him with one powerful strike,' Chen Tian thought. The only technique capable of doing that in one hit was the Eternal Celestial Sword Art [3rd Form].

However, the issue was that this technique could only be used in the Core Formation Realm. If he attempted it at his current level, he could only perform it once before running out of spiritual energy.

"I'll wait until we enter the ancient ruin," Chen Tian thought while observing the other participants.

"Your world is quite extraordinary, with Divine Beats, ancient ruins full of treasures, and now demons. You should be cautious since a demon being here indicates danger."

"I understand; that suggests there's a very high chance of more demons on this planet," Chen Tian said, looking serious.

Demons on Earth would only bring trouble, and Chen Tian wasn't prepared for that yet.

"Alright, one more tip: don't try to capture it," Wu Ye added, speaking with a serious tone.

"Why not?"

"Those creatures don't feel pain, so any torture methods won't work. The best option is to kill them instantly."

Chen Tian nodded, taking Wu Ye's advice seriously. He knew that dealing with demons needed a different strategy than dealing with regular threats.

He quickly thought about how to handle the situation, aware that a single mistake could lead to disaster.

"So the Ming family has already arrived."

As soon as the Ming family walked in, everyone turned to look at them. Since everyone here would be competing against each other, they knew they had to stay very careful.

All the other families were watching the Mings closely, looking for any signs of danger.

"Hm?"

"What's wrong? Did you notice something?"

The man named Zhu Tianlan, who was at the divine stage, asked the man beside him a question.

The man didn't answer right away. He was staring at the Ming family, especially at two women who stood out—Aria and Emilia. At first, he looked surprised, but then his face changed to one of greed, and he gave a sly smile.

"Nothing, just watch out for those two women in that group," the man whispered to Zhu Tianlan, still looking at Aria and Emilia.

Zhu Tianlan raised an eyebrow. "Are they also at the divine level?"

"Oh, it's not just that," the man replied mysteriously, still keeping a close eye on the Ming family.

"They might look harmless now, but their strength shouldn't be taken lightly." Zhu Tianlan nodded.

He didn't know who that person was, but since his father allowed him to join the team, he didn't question the man's warning.

Before leaving, his father told him to listen to that man's advice and not to doubt it. Zhu Tianlan trusted his father's judgme
