According to Sauron’s understanding, the human realm was the territory of the Divine Dragon, and the barbarian domain was the territory of the Demon.
Many, many years ago, the Divine Dragon and the Demon had already perished together.
The Dragon Temple was not in this world. The so-called Sky Temple was not above Yanjing, but outside the domain of this world.
Because the Divine Dragon regarded the Sky Temple as the spark of human civilisation. As long as this spark existed, the human realm could be reborn no matter how many times it was destroyed.
However, after the Divine Dragon died, the Sky Temple lost its regulation. From the spark of civilisation, it became a dark mountain ruling over the human realm.
According to the laws of the Divine Dragon, the people of the Sky Temple could not come to land. Yet now, the power of the Dragon Temple spread across the world.
After the last world-destroying crisis, the human realm lost ninety-nine percent of its territory, all occupied by demons.
The entire world fell into a dark age of civilisation.
It was the appearance of Emperor Dragon that brought the dawn of civilisation to this world, unified the entire human realm, created a brilliant civilisation, established the Flame Dragon Empire, and reclaimed twenty to thirty thousand li of human realm territory.
If not for the Sky Temple’s schemes and traps, Emperor Dragon would have led the human army to continue the southern campaign, continuing to reclaim lost territory.
Three thousand years ago, Emperor Dragon suddenly disappeared from the world. The expansion of the entire human realm was completely halted!
So the question was, how large was the current barbarian domain?
No one knew. Perhaps no one knew!
But after the Demon King fell, most of the demon race legions were also completely destroyed.
The entire demon race domain also fell into a scattered mess.
And the so-called demon race domain was also named the barbarian domain by the Dragon Temple.
If called the demon race, many humans would feel fear. But once called barbarians, it gave the impression of a backward race with only brute strength, greatly reducing the fear.
But for Sauron, he had to face this problem squarely.
Humans were descendants of the Divine Dragon. Every person more or less had dragon bloodline.
And all the people on the barbarian domain were descendants of demons. Every one of them more or less had demon bloodline, so they were called the demon race.
From now on, in Sauron’s eyes there would be no more barbarians, only the demon race.
This world could be called the Wilderness Continent, but this domain could only be called the demon race domain.
…
Sauron buried his entire body in the water.
A bizarre thing happened once again. He actually did not need to come up to breathe. It was not that he did not need to breathe, but in the water he could actually still breathe.
Sauron dived to the deepest part of the seabed and began thinking about how to proceed from here.
At this time, he could not deceive himself anymore. Those relatives of his in the human kingdom, even if alive, must have become prisoners, right?
The Dragon Temple would never let go of the family of the World-Destroying Demon Emperor!
As for Tianshui City, do not even think about it. It certainly could not be preserved.
Even all his direct-line armies, the warriors of the Sauron Clan, would be purged.
His aunt Yan Chuo’er leading the Yan Pirate Legion probably could not be preserved either. The Magic Mirror base, the gunpowder base, the cannon base should all have been seized and taken over.
Whether the gunpowder base, Magic Mirror base, or cannon base were top secret to others, they were open to Zhiyan.
Of course, relying on Zhiyan alone, she perhaps did not have the ability to purge Sauron’s direct-line forces.
But once the Dragon Temple deployed military force to help, purging Sauron’s direct-line forces would be effortless.
The military power of the Dragon Temple was far, far stronger than Sauron had imagined.
Zhiyan obeying the Dragon Temple’s order to kill Sauron meant that she and the Dragon Temple, the Raging Waves Kingdom and the Dragon Temple, could no longer be separated.
The Raging Waves Kingdom might become like the Flame Empire, an extreme Dragon-worshipping nation.
Having obtained the Dragon Temple’s armaments, plus gunpowder and cannons, the Raging Waves Kingdom might become a very powerful country, a powerful violent machine in the Dragon Temple’s hands.
Then Sauron’s path of revenge would become much more difficult.
Relying on his own strength alone was absolutely impossible. As for the powerful Hell Knights, Sauron did not know where they were. Perhaps every Hell Knight was under the Dragon Temple’s surveillance.
So, what Sauron had to rely on was the power of the demon race.
Then the first step of his plan became very clear.
By any means necessary, become the King of the Demon Race, the Wilderness Great Emperor.
He had to rule over at least twenty thousand li of demon race domain, with at least ten million demon race troops under his command.
The demon race domain was different from the human realm!
In the human realm, to become a king, first came noble bloodline, second came political scheming. As for personal martial power, it was completely negligible.
But in the demon race domain, to rule over billions of demons, the only thing one could rely on was martial power, martial power, martial power!
The demon race had political scheming, but they also hated it. They only revered the strong, only pledged loyalty to the strong.
And in the human realm, it was actually the same. Once martial power exceeded a certain peak, it could crush all political scheming.
For example, Emperor Dragon. From various top-secret materials, Emperor Dragon was not a person who understood political scheming. What he possessed was heaven-defying martial arts and strong personal charisma.
He relied on heaven-defying martial arts to unify the entire human realm, turning scattered sand, primitive tribal humans into a brilliant civilised empire.
So, what Sauron had to do now was constantly become stronger, stronger, stronger.
Then, by any means necessary climb upward, constantly conquer, fight, rule, and ultimately become the King of the Demon Race, the Wilderness Great Emperor!
…
As for how to become stronger?
The only method Sauron knew was sucking blood!
Previously, when the Demon Star was present, he could constantly hunt demon beasts, devouring their dragon power or demon power.
But now, the only thing Sauron could do was suck blood.
This deserted island of several dozen li currently had not a single demon race person, only some not very high-level fierce beasts.
This was like Sauron’s beginner village!
So, Sauron planned to hunt and devour all the beasts on this deserted island, then leave here and head for the barbarian continent.
Thus, in the following days, Sauron’s footprints covered every corner of this deserted island.
He caught every fierce beast, then sucked them dry into mummies alive.
Every time, Sauron felt his body grow hot, his blood boil, feeling powerful energy surge into his body.
But exactly how strong, he did not know!
In any case, his strength grew greater and greater, his speed grew faster and faster.
Previously, when he pounded hard rock walls, his fists would become a bloody pulp with broken bones.
But now, when he condensed power into his fists, his fists became harder than stone. He fiercely struck the rock wall and directly smashed out a pit.
Previously, the claws of fierce giant wolves could easily tear Sauron’s flesh. But now, when Sauron condensed power onto his body’s surface, his flesh became like walls of bronze and iron. The giant wolf’s claws could only leave a shallow blood mark.
Previously, he could only jump over one metre high in a single leap. Now he could jump up to three metres.
As for the strength of his arms, exactly how great Sauron did not know, but it absolutely exceeded one thousand jin.
He never made fire, because he never felt cold.
Moreover, besides sucking blood, he also ate raw meat. For some reason, he actually found it very delicious.
He had no clothes to wear, but he bathed every day, brushed his teeth every day, washed his hair every day.
…
Two months passed. Sauron had killed all the fierce beasts on this island cleanly, sucking all the blood from their bodies dry.
The time to leave had arrived!
This was merely a deserted, uninhabited island. There was not a single demon race person.
If Sauron wanted to become the King of the Demon Race, he had to enter demon race society. Only among thousands upon thousands of demon race people could he step on others’ shoulders, tread on others’ bones to climb upward!
Sauron made a stone knife, exerting tremendous effort to chop down a large tree.
Then, spending several days and nights, he hollowed out a canoe from this large tree and made several wooden oars.
He had no weapons, so he selected the hardest and heaviest type of wood on the island, carving out a wooden sword, a full two hundred jin wooden sword.
After everything was prepared, he paddled the canoe into the boundless sea, leaving this deserted island where he had lived for two months.
He did not bring fresh water, only filling half the boat with shelled melons and fruits to use as water.
He did not bring food, because fish were everywhere in the sea.
He had no specific destination, as long as he reached the Wilderness Continent.
So, he kept paddling west.
West, west, west…
…
Sauron paddled every day!
When luck was good, the wind was calm and the waves were still. When luck was bad, the wind howled violently, the waves surged terrifyingly, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
But it did not matter. Was it not just capsizing and falling overboard?
Even if he fell into the sea, Sauron could still breathe at the bottom of the sea.
Along the way, he occasionally encountered large octopuses and fierce sharks.
However, these large octopuses and fierce sharks did not come to provoke Sauron on the boat.
On the contrary, it was Sauron, his heart filled with a desire for destruction, who directly jumped off the boat and charged toward the fierce sharks.
The result was, his thigh was almost completely bitten through by the shark, but it quickly recovered as before.
And his opened fangs fiercely bit into the shark’s belly, then began sucking blood.
For the first time, Sauron felt full, felt stuffed to the point where he could suck no more.
Because this shark’s blood was truly too much.
And after sucking it dry, he felt the presence of energy, but it was very weak, not even half that of a wolf.
It was evident that sharks in this world did not have much demon bloodline.
As for the large octopus, the moment Sauron charged up, he was immediately entangled by its massive tentacles, completely unable to breathe.
Sauron’s fangs pierced the octopus’s tentacle and began sucking blood.
The result was, the octopus got scared and quickly detached one tentacle to flee. And after Sauron sucked the so-called octopus blood, he fell into a coma for several days and nights, then vomited repeatedly.
These two incidents told Sauron, not all blood could be randomly sucked!
From then on, Sauron stopped thinking about sea creatures.
Sucking their blood had no effect.
Every day he just jumped into the sea and caught a few fish to fill his stomach.
Actually, he did not need to eat. He would not starve to death!
But when his stomach felt hungry, his body actually began to consume bloodline power to sustain life.
This bloodline energy was Sauron’s cultivation and martial arts, extremely precious. It certainly could not be wasted like this.
So, Sauron ate raw fish every day to fill his stomach.
…
And so, Sauron piloted the canoe, constantly paddling west, west…
Seven days, ten days, half a month, one month…
This was an incomparably tedious voyage.
This was not the drifting of the Life of Pi. Pi was constantly threatened by death, but Sauron was not!
This long sea journey was simply a torture.
Every day he prayed that after dawn, he would see the shadow of land, or see another boat.
But there was never anything. Forever only the boundless sea!
Sauron was almost going mad!
For some reason, after his demonic transformation, his heart was always restless. His blood seemed like it could burn and boil at any moment.
He began to emit frenzied roars.
And the high-pitched, sharp shrieks grew more and more numerous.
Moreover, he felt a serious problem.
That was the restlessness in his heart, filled with a desire for **.
Though crude in language, it was indeed so. His blood could boil hot at any moment. His heart grew more and more filled with a desire to ** women.
The former Sauron did not have a strong desire for sex, though he was surrounded by beauties.
But now, this desire madly assailed him, almost gradually swallowing his reason.
Moreover, this was completely uncontrollable, as if it were a biological instinct, and completely unrelated to emotion.
In “Animal World,” many animals travelled thousands upon thousands of li, even paying the price of their lives, just to find a mate of the opposite sex to reproduce offspring.
And now, Sauron’s body was burning madly with biological desire.
At this time, he deeply felt that he truly no longer seemed like a human.
As the days of the sea journey increased, restlessness, desire, and frenzy tortured him constantly.
At this time, Sauron could clearly feel that the bone spurs on his neck and back began frequently piercing through his flesh, protruding outside his body.
He actually woke up one morning to find his entire body covered in blood.
Sauron decided that after reaching the Wilderness Continent, the first thing he would do was find a woman and madly vent the desire in his heart.
…
In this frenzied, boring journey, days passed one by one.
Finally, one day, suddenly…
Dawn broke, the sun appeared on the sea surface.
Then, what appeared ahead was no longer the boundless, endless sea, but a massive landmass.
Land with rising mountains and falling valleys, a long coastline stretching endlessly from south to north!
Finally…
The Wilderness Continent had arrived, the demon race domain had arrived!
How far was this from the human realm? Fifty thousand li? Sixty thousand li?
No one knew. In any case, this was a completely unfamiliar continent, a completely unknown world.
This was the mysterious and powerful demon race domain!
Sauron went wild with joy, then raised his head and roared toward the sky!
One moment it was a majestic and fierce roar.
The next moment it was a high-pitched, sharp shriek.
Sauron gripped his massive ebony sword, fiercely jumped into the sea, and directly charged toward the distant land.
Demon race domain, Wilderness Continent, I have come, I have seen, I shall conquer!
On this continent, I will certainly become stronger by any means necessary, climb upward by any means necessary.
On this continent, I will certainly become the King of the Demon Race, the Wilderness Great Emperor!
