Lu Wenwu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with surprise: "I didn't expect you to think of this layer, it's made me see you in a new light. I thought you would say it's because you're not strong enough or ruthless enough."
"Ha... thank you for your compliment. If it were me just breaking through to Divinity Transformation, I might have answered like that. But now, I've been in Late-stage Divinity Transformation for over seven hundred years..."
The Blood River Demon Venerable laughed at himself, his eyes filled with unhidden bitterness and sorrow.
"I first encountered the Immortal Dao at nine due to a disaster. By relying on a Cultivation Technique commonplace in the Cultivation Realm, I entered Foundation Establishment at eleven, entered the demon path to forge a Top-grade Golden Core at seventeen, condensed a First-Grade Nascent Soul at fifty-four, and slaughtered a million lives to step into Divinity Transformation at one hundred seventy-two."
