Simulator: Starting as a Green Snake and Transforming into a Dragon

Deep within the Cloud Sea Marsh, shrouded in mist, the ethereal spiritual energy had liquefied. In a palace, a white-haired man leaned on a golden throne. His skin was snow-white, devoid of any color, and his face was exquisitely beautiful, captivating all who beheld him. Anyone who saw him would feel as if they had seen the most beautiful person in the world. He was the master of the Cloud Sea Marsh, a demon clan venerable with the Xiangliu bloodline, and the Xuanbing Daozun, a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

A middle-aged man in armor walked in and knelt devoutly before the Demon Lord.

"Your subordinate congratulates you, Venerable One. After many years of seclusion, you have finally advanced to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. From now on, our demon race will finally be on par with the human race in high-level battles."

The Demon Lord sighed, as if all the beauty in the world paled in comparison before him: "Yes, I have finally saved Yunhaize. Ever since the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain advanced to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, I have dreamt every day of Yunhaize being breached and the demon race being completely wiped out. Fortunately, my bloodline is ultimately extraordinary. The Xiangliu bloodline and the superior-grade exotic beast allowed me to successfully advance despite the suppression of humanity. Now, even our Yunhaize territory can expand a bit. In recent years, Yunhaize has developed quite well. However, the current territory is indeed a bit insufficient to support everyone."

This middle-aged man was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and served as the Demon Lord's Minister of Internal Affairs. His true form was a Azure Cloud Tiger, a high-grade spirit beast with extremely powerful blood. Everyone respectfully called him the Azure Cloud Demon Emperor. At this moment, his face showed a hint of conflict.

"Your Excellency, there is something I have wanted to report to you for a long time, but I haven't been able to because you are in seclusion. The human race has begun to test us. They have put forward a Beast Taming Sect, whose highest-ranking cultivator is only a Golden Core cultivator. They are constantly harassing our perimeter, which has already caused quite a bit of trouble. What do you think we should do?"

The Demon Lord's eyes became much sharper, even carrying a hint of killing intent. His voice also turned cold, making those who heard it feel as if they had been transported to the far north, enveloped in endless ice. Even the Demon Emperor shivered.

"Beast Taming Sect? Human Race? Don't worry about them. If they want to fight, then let them fight directly. This time, we'll give them face. That Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain can't beat me. However, the Human Race has four Nascent Soul cultivators. I can't beat their combined strength. But they're also hesitant to act rashly. One-on-one, no one can beat me. My bloodline is incomparable to theirs. Let's start the counterattack. Consider it training for the outer perimeter. Let's see if we can find some good talents. You all need to pay attention. If any children can stand out, that would be the best thing."

Just as the Demon Emperor nodded, a tremendous power suddenly enveloped the entire palace. The sharp sword energy was like the end of the world. The Demon Lord simply waved his hand, and the aura vanished without a trace.

"The Yunhaize demon race attacked our human race without cause, violating the human-demon treaty. Today, I, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, will act on behalf of Heaven to exterminate the demon race."

The Demon Lord slapped his chair and flew into the air. Opposite him stood an old man with white hair and a youthful face, holding a whisk in his hand and carrying a sword on his back, looking extremely powerful. However, his expression was not pleasant at the moment.

"Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, why aren't you being your ancestor on Longhu Mountain? What are you doing here in my demon race? Have you forgotten that when we were both at the Nascent Soul stage, you couldn't beat me? Today, it's the same result. What, why are you staring at me with those big eyes? Do you think only you can reach the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation realm today, and not me? How ridiculous."

The Celestial Master felt a chill run down his spine. He still remembered that night 150 years ago. At that time, he was full of vigor and was the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage in the human race. He thought he was the most powerful person. So, he went to find the famous Xuanbing Demon Emperor of the demon race, intending to kill him, increase his fame, and contribute to his advancement to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, after fighting for a day, he lost, and lost miserably. His Dao heart was even somewhat shattered. If it weren't for the intervention of the Nascent Soul expert, his future would be uncertain.

However, that battle still became a kind of inner demon for him, and he couldn't forget it all these years. This time, he came to find the Demon Lord with his mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, hoping to suppress his cultivation and break free from his inner demon. As long as he won, the inner demon would be gone. But he never expected that the Demon Lord would advance.

But this shouldn't be the case. Humanity is flourishing now, suppressing the demon race. It's very difficult for the demon race to advance. But he forgot that the Demon Lord's bloodline is that of a superior-grade exotic beast, even above spirit beasts. It's already the most powerful bloodline that the human realm can accommodate. Just based on their bloodline, he won't be so easily suppressed.

Now, facing this demon lord in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was also afraid. He didn't think he could defeat him. On the contrary, the demon lord on the other side was much more magnanimous. He felt that he was bound to win and would never lose.

"You Taoist priest with a bull's nose, if you don't give me an explanation today, you won't be going back in peace."

As the leader of the human race, the Celestial Master had been fawned over for a time. Now, being ridiculed by the Demon Lord, his temper flared up, and much of his fear disappeared.

"You? You're just a mere prodigy. I am the leader of the human race. Do you think I'm afraid of you? Don't think you can ignore me just because you've advanced in rank. Prepare to die."

After he finished speaking, countless flying swords appeared behind him. Although this was just an extension of the sword control technique, such a move was still very powerful among experts in the Nascent Soul stage. This Celestial Master was originally a sword cultivator, and now his sword control was superb.

However, the Demon Lord was no pushover. With a wave of his hand, nine heads appeared behind him. They opened their mouths at once, sucking all the flying swords into them. The next second, countless venoms poured down, engulfing the Celestial Master. When the Celestial Master reappeared, he was tattered and battered, clearly having fallen into a disadvantageous position. But that was the end of it. There was no need for the two only mid-stage Nascent Soul experts in the world to fight to the death like this. Now, the outcome was decided.

"Celestial Master, your human race has invaded our demon race. This matter will be left to the disciples below. From today onwards, in small-scale clashes between humans and demons, at most only those at the early Golden Core stage should be allowed to intervene. What do you think?"

He stared at himself, knowing he had already lost; how could he disagree? He could only nod.

"Celestial Master, I advise you not to have any ulterior motives. I don't want much right now. As you can see, our demon race in Yunhai Marsh is living too cramped. We need some new places, don't you think?"

The Celestial Master did not give a direct answer. Even if he was the best in the world, he could not replace the human race in ceding territory and paying reparations: "Then let's see what our methods are, Demon Lord."
