Prime Originator

There was no need to give demons opportunities to grow and make things difficult for other humans.

Only those who follow him can have such opportunities.

'Although I've absorbed a lot of unique origin blood from the Greater Demons, I doubt I will gain as many new types of origin blood the next time around…' Leon mused.

He would be dreaming if he expects every Greater Demon to have refined beast blood different from others.

That was clearly not the case.

Having refined thousands of demon blood essences, he already noticed a specific pattern in the types of origin blood they contained.

The demons were selective with the blood essence they absorbed from other beasts and creatures.

For instance, the most repeated origin blood he found within the demon blood essences belonged to lizard-type beasts.

'Is it because Lizard-type beasts have higher innate regenerative ability compared to all other types of beasts?' Leon silently pondered.

It would explain why he felt his regenerative ability was higher than his actual mastery in the Everlasting Blood Mantra.

It was almost comparable to Tier-3 recovery medicine, something he was only meant to possess after mastering the Second Stage of Rejuvenation.

And although it was called the Rejuvenation Stage, it doesn't mean that his regenerative abilities will cap at Tier-3.

No, it was far beyond that.

His regenerative abilities will continue to grow alongside his advancement in the Everlasting Blood Mantra.

Reaching high stages simply unlocks new blood abilities; it does stop the improvement of old ones.

After dispelling excess blood energy to stabilize his cultivation, Leon begins to ponder his next target.

'Since hunting any more of the Greater Demons might not be rewarding while Arch Demons are too few and troublesome to defeat... Should I set my eyes on the sea monsters?' Leon mused.

'Yo, Tak-si. Since you are the realm spirit of this entire space, you should have a clear overview of all the creatures and their strengths in this subspace, right?'

'That is correct, Master.' Tak-si admitted.

'How many demons are still alive since entering the secret realm? How many are Arch Demons among them?' Leon inquired.

'I'm sorry, Master. I wasn't awake at that time; thus, I do not know how many demons entered this realm,' Tak-si said apologetically.

'However, there are currently 7244 demons in the realm, and 71 Arch Demons among them–oh, it's 72 Arch Demons now.'

'Another one just broke through, huh?' Leon knitted brows.

The number of Arch Demons was much higher than he anticipated; it was the equivalent of 72 Paragons.

If the collective human forces face the demons in a head-on battle, without a doubt, the demons will decimate them.

After inquiring about the human side, Leon found out that not a single person had broken through to the Battle King Realm.

However, 27 other warriors have become Half-step Battle Kings.

'Only 27 Half-step Battle Kings, huh? Humans truly can't compare to the demons when it comes to improvement in this realm...'

Leon smiled wryly at the thought before his eyes flickered with a sudden idea.

There was no need for a confrontation with the demons.

'Do you have the power to eject all the demons out of the Radiant Heaven Realmship, Tak-si?'

'If I was in my prime state, it can be easily done with a single thought. However, I lost most of my abilities due to the damage my core has sustained, and the demons have used a Teleportation Artifact that's not a part of me; thus, I cannot eject them.'

'I see...' Leon uttered.

'However, my core doesn't require full repair for me to recover some of my spatial abilities. I'd say only about 20% repairment is needed to regain the function for some short-distance jumps and to remove the demons from the realm at a whim.'

Shortly after the realm spirit said that, Leon expressed his interest.

'Interesting... And how much True Grandmist Energy would you need for a 20% repair?' Leon queried.

'About two-hundredfold the previous amount you've given me will be enough to repair 20% of my core, Master.'

"Two-hundredfold? That's quite a lot of True Grandmist Energy; I don't have that much." Leon uttered while rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "But while I don't have that much, I can make more."

His words immediately gave the realm spirit a terrible feeling.

'Err… Master? Please don't tear down any more of my subspace's dimension. The spatial tear from the last instance had yet to be fully patched up, and seawater is even pouring inside. If Master tears any more spatial rift in the dimension, this entire realm will be flooded sooner or later.'

Tak-si expressed a bit of anxiousness as it informed him.

"Seawater is pouring into the realm?" Leon furrowed his brows.

After sweeping his divine sense over to the spatial tear he had created previously, he could indeed see the seawater pouring into the realm.

"I had some other use for this True Grandmist Energy, but never mind. You've been very obedient and answered all my inquiries; here, take it. You deserve it."

Leon summoned the orb of True Grandmist Energy he collected and flicked it into the sky with a straight face despite seeming like an overbearing tyrant.

He created the problem, yet he is rewarding the realm spirit to fix the problem.

It was not much different from punching a man in the gut and snatching his wallet, only to return it later after forcing the man to serve him.

Alas, that was not important.

Tak-si happily caught the orb of True Grandmist Energy with its divine spirit before patching up the spatial tear without thinking deeply into the matter.

Once Tak-si completed its task, its divine spirit disappeared back into the background.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry about the realm's dimension getting torn down again. I won't use my power on the dimension, but I'll definitely use it on something else."

'What will you use your power on, Master?' Tak-si asked warily.

"Don't you have an excess amount of land, trees, grass—well, basically an excess of everything due to the Eternal Night Demon Empress's inner world? I'll help you remove them," Leon grinned.

Doing so should fetch him quite a large amount of True Grandmist Energy.
