However, Ding Hao's joining the sect made the entire martial and demonic world take notice of the Wuji Demon Sect, a nearly third-rate demonic faction! The title of Wuji Demon Lord was also bestowed upon Ding Hao. He became the first person in the Wuji Demon Sect to receive a title in over five thousand years! The cultivation method of the Wuji Demon Sect, known as Wuji Demon Technique, was renowned for its incredible speed among the demonic path. 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. He was as cunning as a fox, making him the perfect candidate for demonic cultivation! PS: My new book "God of Slaughter" has been officially released. Book ID: [ID].
