However, in the eyes of the demonic cultivators, its cultivation speed was extremely slow. It was even slower than the cultivation methods of regular cultivators, and its power was not easily discernible. Most disciples of the Wuji Demon Sect had even switched to other cultivation methods. But Ding Hao managed to increase the cultivation speed of the Wuji Demon Technique by more than a hundredfold and rose like a comet in the demonic path. Ding Hao was ruthless, heartless, and bloodthirsty. He was audacious and decisive, with a strong will and meticulous thinking.
