"We are of the same kind! Both demonic entities..."
"What is a demonic entity...?"
The giant eagle displayed a humanoid confusion on its face.
"These things, can I explain them to you when we get home?"
"Home?"
"It means a place to live! Of course, it is much more comfortable than here!"
When the giant eagle heard Peng Jun's mental fluctuations, it became much calmer in its mind. At the same time, as the mental link deepened, the giant eagle developed a strange sense of intimacy toward the human before it.
Upon hearing Peng Jun's invitation, the giant eagle hesitated for just a moment before nodding. Its body quickly shrank down to a mini eagle less than half a meter long, landing directly on Peng Jun's shoulder.
Peng Jun gently stroked the little eagle's head, a smile he could not hide appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Behind him, the black-robed figure had caught up and upon seeing the giant eagle grooming its feathers on Peng Jun's shoulder, humbly spoke up.
"Congratulations, cult leader master, on finding a new sacred beast."
Peng Jun nodded and looked up at the gray sky.
Perhaps it was the joy in his heart without a way to express it, or perhaps the secrets hidden deep inside him were too significant, he wanted to share them with his trusted ones around him, so he slowly opened his mouth to speak.
"Do you know what it is?"
...
"It is a demonic entity. You've definitely heard this term because it's not a big secret among us in the Cult of the Demon Worshippers!"
"Earth has divine beast species. Do you know how divine beast species are produced?"
Seeing the black-robed figure shake his head, Peng Jun continued to speak to himself.
"Divine beast species are born when the earth's will infuses its origin power into the bodies of earth's creatures, causing mutated beasts to undergo terrifying changes!"
"The combat power of divine beast species, it's no exaggeration to say, is absolutely the pinnacle of power in this world. Humans, no matter how many opportunities they encounter, can hardly defeat divine beast species!"
"They are the darlings of the world!"
"But, since the Earth has divine beast species, why wouldn't a world like the Demon Realm have beings endowed with the Demon Realm Origin Power?"
Peng Jun paused slightly, pointed at the mysterious crystal on his chest, and continued, "This thing, from my observation, should be similar to a collection of demon realm will. Although I don't quite understand why it appears in the form of a crystal, it does not hinder me from utilizing its power!"
"When I absorbed this crystal into my body, its power had already changed the essence of my life!"
"Similar to the blessing of the Demon Realm Origin Power, which is the demonic entity!"
"So, strictly speaking, I can no longer be considered a human. It and I are of the same kind!"
Upon hearing Peng Jun's words, the black-robed figure became even more humble and respectfully said, "Under the leadership of the cult leader master, we will surely defeat those professionals and become great members of the demonic clan!"
Peng Jun glanced at the black-robed figure, sighed softly, and shook his head.
"Do you know what my original intention for founding the Cult of the Demon Worshippers was?"
The black-robed figure shook his head in confusion.
"My original intention was not to ally with the demonic clan to destroy humanity! But to find a glimmer of hope for us humans to survive!"
Peng Jun looked up at the sky, murmuring, "This crystal has brought me power, but it has also brought a lot of information!"
"Information, which can also be called intelligence..."
"Having intelligence about the enemy is a good thing, but I would rather have never known anything about these demonic clans!"
Peng Jun fell silent for a while and continued, "Do you know the combat power of demonic entities?"
Hearing Peng Jun's question, the black-robed figure shook his head.
"The combat power of demonic entities is not strong, of course, only when compared to divine beast species. Under the same physical attributes, two demonic entities have the right to challenge divine beast species! Three demonic entities can remain undefeated against divine beast species, five can triumph, and more than ten are needed to ensure the annihilation of divine beast species."
