Lee Yifann looked at him with a playful expression, "Aren't you a True Immortal? According to cultivation base, once one reached the level of Demon Saint, even if their strength hadn't fully recovered, true Immortals are after all True Immortals. Why are you afraid of me? Why don't you dare to fight me face to face?"
"This..."
Demon Clan Ancestor's eyes sparkled, and he continued, "I'm old now, and I only want to restore my original strength. Or even to improve further. I know you're not someone to be trifled with. If you really want to fight, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. I'll definitely be injured. I'm afraid it'll take a long time for me to recover. So, let's not fight. "
This statement sounded reasonable.
The demons' cultivation speed was slow, and it often took tens of thousands of years for them to become True Immortals. Once they were injured, minor injuries would be fine, but if they were seriously injured, they would definitely not be able to recover without several thousands or hundreds of years.
After all, the demons didn't have alchemists, and they couldn't easily recover from their injuries through various external means like the Human Warrior. Therefore, Demon Clan Ancestor's explanation sounded reasonable.
But was that really the case?
Lee Yifann harrumphed and said with a disdainful expression, "You cherish your own cultivation base, so you don't want to fight? This reason of yours can deceive others, but you lie through your teeth while blocking my face. Do you think I'm brainless? Your strength has recovered by 50%? To think that you would dare to say that the demons would dare to believe you. That's right. After lying to me 3,000 times, I believed you as well."
" You, Old Dog, have yet to recover fifty percent of your strength. Not even ten percent. What nonsense are you talking about? You are just a remnant soul, and you don't even have three or seven souls. So what if you were a True Immortal when you were alive? So what if you possess a fleshly body? Your current cultivation base is not even Free Immortal's! At most, you are only at the late stage of the Half Fairy Realm! If you have truly recovered fifty percent of your True Immortal strength, then why do you need to rely on the Blood Sea Nether Formation that you can't even control? You don't even have the confidence to fight me head on?"
The demon race was different from the Human Warrior. The Human Warrior had something like a Nascent Soul, but the demon race didn't have it. It should be said that when the Nascent Soul of the demon race reached the Earthly Demon, it had fused with the body, and its form was somewhat special.
Therefore, when the body of the demon race was destroyed, the impact they suffered was usually much greater than that of a human martial artist.
When the body of a human warrior was destroyed, the Nascent Soul would escape, and the soul would be preserved. The Nascent Soul would be able to preserve its original strength to the greatest extent.
But the demon race would not be able to do so. When the body was gone, the strength of the soul would be greatly reduced, with less than a tenth remaining. Although his cultivation base was still the same as before, his strength would be lost, and he would not be able to display his strength.
This was because the source of the power of the soul was how much soul force one had. The demon race wasn't a Human Warrior, so they could cultivate their soul force. The main cultivation base of the demon race was their physical body, and their fighting style depended on the strength of their physical body.
Therefore, if a True Immortal demon's physical body was destroyed, even if his soul was complete, his strength wouldn't even be one-tenth of his original strength. Even if he possessed a new body, it would still take a very long time for him to recover.
Before Demon Clan Ancestor possessed the body, he was in the state of a residual soul. In other words, he wasn't even in the state of a normal Soul Body, and his strength was even lower. He was estimated to only be at the Soul Master Level.
Now that he had possessed the body, after a few rounds of recovery, his strength would definitely be stronger than a Soul Master Level, but it would be impossible for him to recover to fifty percent of his true immortal strength.
As for why Old Dog claimed that he had recovered fifty percent of his original strength?
It was nothing more than a bluff, and it was also to intimidate some people.
The strongest expert of the demon race, Snake Grandma, was ranked 15th in the Free Immortal Ranking. She was the strongest existence in the demon race, but she had died in Lee Qiankun's hands. Now, there was not a single expert in the demon race that could be used as a disguise.
If there was an enemy that wanted to deal with them, the Demon Race wouldn't be far from extinction. Therefore, the demon race needed an extremely powerful expert to deter Xiao Xiao. Therefore, the old monster, Demon Clan Ancestor, was pushed out.
As for why the various powers didn't doubt his strength?
Firstly, Old Dog was a very crafty person. He hid in the ancestral land of the demon race and never left. Outsiders had no idea how much his strength had recovered. They could only guess. Furthermore, none of the major powers knew where the ancestral land of the demon race was. Therefore, none of them were stupid enough to deal with the demon race.
Lee Yifann had previously believed that Old Dog had recovered fifty percent of his strength, or perhaps even stronger, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he knew that it was all a lie.
Secondly, the demon race had been keeping a low profile recently. It seemed like they had become more secretive with their tails between their legs.
Some people guessed that they had learned their lesson because too many experts had been killed by Lee Qiankun.
Some also felt that the demons were hiding in the dark, preparing for the next rise in power.
No matter how they guessed, it had added some mystery to the recent situation of the demon race.
Under these two factors, as long as they hadn't seen Demon Clan Ancestor with their own eyes, they wouldn't doubt the rumor that Demon Clan Ancestor had recovered fifty percent of his strength.
"What?"
Yuv Lian and Black Scorpion Woman were stunned at the same time and looked at Demon Clan Ancestor in disbelief.
A flash of panic appeared on Demon Clan Ancestor's face, but he quickly calmed down. He looked at each other angrily and said, "Nonsense! My strength just did not recover to its peak!"
"What are you hiding in front of me? Don't you know that I can clearly see your background in front of my Universe Stage soul?"
Lee Yifann sneered, "No matter how you try to deny it, it won't change the fact that you're only a Half Immortal Stage now. Otherwise, you wouldn't be in such a hurry to grab a bunch of Furnaces. Using this kind of rapid method to recover. If I'm not wrong, Sha Tianyao has found so many women. Actually, I'm afraid that they have all been used by you in private. He has married so many women. But his strength was ridiculously weak. It was obvious that he did not enjoy those women. You can enjoy all of them. "
"What?"
Yuv Lian was stunned for a few seconds and suddenly thought of something. "I understand. No wonder those women went missing a few days ago. It turns out that they were refined by you. That means the water in the blood pool... Urgh!"
Her stomach rolled and she started to vomit.
Lee Yifann gave a fake smile. "When I came, I found that the blood in the blood pool was fresh. It can be seen that you have killed many innocent people. You're so eager to make quick work of yourself. This just proves that your strength is still far from being able to recover to a True Immortal! "
"Good, so this old fellow has always been a paper tiger. He tricked me so miserably!" Yuv Lian was mad with anger. If she had known earlier, she might have been able to escape even if she fought with her life on the line.
Black Scorpion Woman was stunned for a long time. She looked at Demon Clan Ancestor in a daze. "Ancestor, is what he said true?"
Demon Clan Ancestor saw that he could not continue lying. His story had been exposed. His heart was in a panic and uneasiness. He started to show signs of giving in. "Lee Qiankun, when you have to forgive someone, you should forgive them. Why do you have to force them? The demon race and you have already decided not to interfere with each other's business. "
