In addition to Rose, the ancient demon summoned other demon gods one after another, ordering them to mobilize the power they had developed among the barbarians in various places over the years, transform it into combat power as soon as possible, and attack the borders of the Song Dynasty.
The size of China is not only limited to the fertile soil of the densely populated Central Plains, but also to undeveloped frontiers, vast grasslands, bitter cold lands, barren mountains and rivers, and other areas that have not been vigorously developed.
Due to resource constraints and natural factors, the number of humans that can be supported per unit area in these harsh areas is far less than the fertile soil in the heart of China that has been developed for countless years. Therefore, it is difficult for a farming civilization like the Central Plains Dynasty to emerge. Instead, most of them are based on nomadic hunting.
Mainly local barbarian tribes.
Some of the origins of these barbarians are the indigenous humans who have lived here since ancient times, and their physiques and customs have long adapted to the local environment. Some are poor people who sought refuge here during the war years and were finally assimilated.
Because the barbarians finally traveled around hunting for food, they developed a barbaric and rude temperament. It was also difficult to communicate with outsiders due to language barriers and lack of clothing. During famine years, they would invade the outside world on a large scale and plunder resources and people. They were regarded as wild.
It is difficult to tame, so it is never regarded as one of its own by the Central Plains dynasty, and cannot enjoy the fruits of the prosperity of human civilization.
In the world of cultivation, the barbarians living in the barren mountains and harsh waters are far inferior to the outstanding people in the hinterland of China. They are generally dull in qualifications and follow barbaric and bloody traditional witchcraft. They are not favored by the righteous cultivators, and therefore are not included in the sphere of influence of the righteous sects.
But these barbarians are also human beings after all, and under the year-round nomadic fishing and hunting, the living people are generally stronger than the Central Plains people, and have ferocious and aggressive temperaments. They are more suitable for practicing ancient witchcraft that enhances physical fitness and shamanism that controls the power of nature.
Full of magic, some barbaric tribes even support monsters, and humans and monsters live together.
Over countless years, the barbarians in various places have also formed some large tribal forces that occupy the local area. Based on their locations, they are called Dongyi, Xirong, Nanman, and Beidi by the world.
It's just that ancient witchcraft has long declined since the ancient war. Except for the Black Witch Cult that has gone overseas, the witchcraft within other barbarian tribes are all unsystematic and difficult to develop. Therefore, many knowledgeable barbarian tribes have accepted those who are in power.
The Central Plains dynasty was hit and pushed away by the demonic and side sect monks. All parties merged and learned from each other's strengths, but they continued to survive.
In other words, the powerful demonic path directly annexed and unified the chaotic inheritance among these barbarians and turned them into a part of itself.
In addition to the mysterious Central Demonic Cult, the basic bases of the Five Demonic Cults and the other Four Demonic Cults are the barbarians from all over the world. The Demonic Clan’s base area, Shiwanda Mountain, is also an important area for barbarian tribes to thrive.
But in this way, in the world of cultivation, which is dominated by human cultivators of the righteous path, the barbarians and their cultivators are even more excluded.
Although the Song Dynasty was prosperous and developed, it was restricted by the vision of the feudal dynasty and did not include the barbarians from all sides into the system. When the evil disaster came, powerful people like the Song Dynasty and the Zhengdao Cultivation World could not take care of the entire China area and could only stick to the inland.
Abandon all border counties and gather population resources to fight against foreign enemies.
On the other hand, the barbarians, because the demon cultivators and demons have already reached an agreement with the demon world, have not received much harm. Of course, the price they paid is to accept the demons. After the demonic disaster, the barbarians in addition to practicing witchcraft, demons, side sects, and demons
In addition to the law, there is another extraordinary way to swallow the blood of demons and absorb the abyss demon energy to transform into an abyss demon.
Compared with the cultivation method in the human world that requires cultivation qualifications and consumes a lot of resources, the way to transform into a demon is extremely simple. You only need to swallow the blood of a certain demon, or directly absorb the rich abyss demonic energy to transform into a demon.
Abyss Demon corresponding to bloodline and physique.
If you want to continue to progress, you can choose to swallow and absorb more demon blood or abyss demonic energy, or you can, like a demon, grow rapidly in the process of killing, devouring souls, and sacrificing blood to the abyss.
It is easy to practice, improve quickly, and is not picky about resources. Such a convenient way of practice is very popular among barbarians who are not very intelligent. Therefore, except for those barbarians who are qualified enough to practice the methods of the human world, most barbarians have chosen to transform into the abyss.
Demon.
But every gain must have a loss. After being transformed into an abyss demon, although the barbarians can quickly become stronger despite the limitations of their qualifications and resources, it is also equivalent to abandoning their local identity in the human world and no longer being blessed by the luck of the human world.
.
When alive, you can still rely on the body born in the human world to not be rejected by the restraining power of the human world. But after death, the soul that has been marked by the abyss will not be included in the reincarnation of the human world along the Xuanhuang Sky Net, but will follow the infinite path.
The River Styx flows into the lower plane and falls into the abyss.
After all, those who have been transformed into abyss demons are, to a certain extent, no longer human beings, but a subspecies of demons. Moreover, they are still a subspecies controlled by the demon army. Once the demon army exerts its power, they will involuntarily
Obey the order. After all, even the bloodline and extraordinary foundation come from the devil, how can it not be affected by it?
However, except for those barbarians who have enough qualifications and wisdom to understand the true meaning of practice, other barbarians do not know this, or in other words, with their wisdom, they would not care even if they knew it. Ordinary people only care about life,
But he doesn't care about death.
As for the Five Directions Demon Sect and the Monster Clan, the former has a ruthless heart and does not care about anyone other than its fellow sects, while the latter relies on demons to fight against the humans and expand the living space for the Monster Clan, so it will not stop the barbarians from making their choices either.
.In fact, the more sacrifices the barbarians make, the better the results will be, and the more powerful it will be against them.
In the eyes of monsters and other powerful forces, stupid and ignorant barbarians are nothing more than a source of soldiers and cannon fodder, and they do not care about their future.
This is the tragedy of a group of people who do not have a strong background and civilization support, and do not have enough wisdom. They cannot even control their own life and death.
In the land of the Dongyi tribe, in a valley outside the White Mountain and Black Water, the head of the Dongyi tribe, wrapped in a demon bear skin, had red eyes. With the assistance of the high priest of the Witch Demon Dao on the side, he summoned an alien passage leading to the abyss of the demon world, and infused it with
After a large amount of abyssal demonic energy, the underground demonic pool in the clan's territory was opened.
In the deep black magic pool, you can see that the skin is covered with black scales and their faces are ferocious, like powerful demonized barbarian warriors who have fallen into hibernation.
In the wasteland of Xirong, the vast land is covered with the corpses of countless middle and low-level demons in a certain formation pattern. Their flesh and blood are used as sacrifices. The leader of Xirong, who has long been transformed by the demon into one of the leaders of the demon army, leads the tribe to start the sacrifice.
Witch formation.
Black-red demonic flames rose from the ground, swallowed up the devil's corpse, and then rose into the sky and divided into thousands, integrating into the bodies of every Xirong barbarian present. Amidst the roars, these barbarians grew in size one by one, with green faces and fangs,
There was also a large area of demonic skin on his body, which didn't look like a human being.
