Chapter 481: Chapter 246: The Cultural Invasion of Demon Sea Island! The Fall of a Genius! (6000 words)_2

Nothing more than a human shape with an added pair of wings, a human shape with a tail, a human shape with a suit of armor... and so on.

He arrived at a tavern. Just like in the human world, the livelier the place, the more information one could obtain.

"My lord!" The tavern’s waiter was a horse-headed demon, who appeared very restrained in front of Wang Xiu. After serving a pot of wine, he stood nervously to the side.

"You may leave. I will call you if I need anything," Wang Xiu said indifferently, dismissing him. He then took a nonchalant sip of his wine.

Instantly, his throat seized up.

PTUI!

It was damn awful!

He expressionlessly poured out the wine from his cup and stealthily replaced it with some from his own Storage Ring, then sat silently without a word.

"Everyone, big news! News from Night Emperor City is out! The Sixth Prince of the Earth Elephant Demon clan has been selected to participate in the Demon God ritual! They’re holding a seven-day feast and inviting the entire city!"

"What? That’s an incredible honor!"

"The Demon God ritual... We couldn’t even beg for a chance to participate."

"Those who participate in the Demon God ritual can have their spirits chosen by the great Demon God, allowing them to transcend this sea of suffering. Alas... it’s a shame our status is too low; we’ll never have such a chance!"

Below, a fervent discussion erupted.

What is a Demon God ritual? Wang Xiu wondered as he listened.

"It’s a type of sacrifice, but one of a very high standard. Ordinary Pureblood Families aren’t qualified to conduct it; it requires at least a Demon Emperor to take the lead," Guba explained.

"A sacrifice? Why is death something to celebrate?" Wang Xiu found it difficult to understand.

"To offer one’s spirit and flesh to the great Demon God is a blessing these lowly beings have cultivated for ten lifetimes. Naturally, it’s a cause for celebration!" Guba commented matter-of-factly, not finding it strange in the slightest. He was a True Demon, and in his eyes, even the Pureblood Demon Race were lowly beings.

Wang Xiu remained silent.

He looked down at the crowd. When the Foreign Demons spoke of the Demon God ritual, the fervor and envy in their eyes were completely genuine. They truly felt that dying in such a ceremony was a great privilege, something to be sought after. They wished they could take the place of the chosen.

It was less an obsession and more a terrifyingly strong belief.

No wonder a race like this became the main culprit behind the invasion of the myriad realms! Wang Xiu thought. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

His expression unchanged, he continued to ask, "Are Demon God rituals common in the Demon Realm?"

Guba thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Not really. Although it’s a ceremony of great honor, you can’t deny that it sacrifices a large number of demon servants in a short period. This is detrimental to the clan’s strength, so the ritual is typically reserved for particularly critical moments."

Hearing this, Wang Xiu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

At a time like this, with the tide of the Abyss imminent, it doesn’t make sense for the Demon Race to weaken its own power. It doesn’t matter how weak or insignificant those lower-level forces seem to the upper echelons.

He got up, left the tavern, and made his way to a run-down Magic Equipment Shop.

"My lord, how may I be of service?" The shop owner was an Ox Demon, massive and powerful, but he was currently bowed over, not daring to look up.

"I have some things to sell!" With a wave of Wang Xiu’s hand, several Demon Soldiers appeared, their terrifying aura filling the shop.

The Ox Demon’s expression changed. He recognized the scent of Pureblood Demon Race blood on the weapons and was terrified. However, he was sensible enough not to ask any questions, instead approaching with even greater caution to appraise them.

These Demon Soldiers were spoils taken from the demons who had once besieged Wang Xiu. He had deliberately picked a few that were high-grade but not so rare as to arouse suspicion.

"My lord, your treasures are of excellent quality. How about this... I can offer you 100,000 Demon Crystals. What do you think?" the Ox Demon asked cautiously.

"Agreed!"

The purchasing power of Demon Crystals was immense, far exceeding that of a cultivator’s Spirit Stones. A sum of 100,000 Demon Crystals was astronomical. Wang Xiu was familiar with the market rates; the Demon Soldiers he presented were worth 70,000 to 80,000 Demon Crystals at most. Clearly, the Ox Demon had recognized that Wang Xiu was no ordinary person and wanted to build a connection.

Wang Xiu left the shop and bought an extremely large estate in the city to settle down in temporarily. Then, without pause, he headed to a brothel. With a grand gesture, he bought twenty demonesses—all with stunning appearances and figures—and brought them back to his estate to serve as maids. Among them were even two Charming Demons. He then took another stroll around the city and picked out several robust Stone Demons to act as guards for his new home. All told, he had spent less than 20,000 Demon Crystals.

...

Over the following days, everyone in Three Origins City learned that a new master had arrived. He was extremely wealthy, young, vigorous, and clearly possessed extraordinary strength. Furthermore, he was quite handsome, bearing some resemblance to a Golden Lion.

This new master had no peculiar habits to speak of. He simply enjoyed visiting brothels to listen to songs and watch dances. He was also generous with his tips; a single reward from him was enough for the recipient to live lavishly for quite some time.

His lifestyle made many of the city’s unattached male and female demons burn with envy. They would stare intently at the gate of Wang Xiu’s estate, hoping for the day the master would emerge and take them away as well. They were willing to do anything he asked.

...

「In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.」

In the estate, Wang Xiu lay comfortably on a rocking chair. Two delicate Charming Demons were on either side, massaging his legs, while several graceful Fox Women rubbed his shoulders from behind. A Cat Woman used her slender fingers to place a juicy piece of fruit into his mouth.

"Any new news these last few days?" Wang Xiu asked in a soft voice, his eyes closed as he rocked gently.
