Lanling said, "Why is it like this?"
Clearly, there is still a lot of energy left, yet it's not used to directly breakthrough to the Demon Venerable?
Yao Xing said, "Firstly, this energy is not enough to break through to the Demon Venerable. Every major level after the Demon Sect is a great ordeal; it's not something that can be easily overcome by merely absorbing some energy."
This point Lanling could understand. Countless people have been stuck at the peak of the Demon Martial Grandmaster or even the Peak of Demon Sect, with the final hurdle always being difficult to surmount.
Black Demon Monarch resurrected after death, and only broke through to the Demon Venerable after obtaining Lanling's Golden Bloodline.
Gou Li only broke through to the Demon Sect after receiving the energy of the Ghost King's ring.
Therefore, breaking through a certain obstacle does not entirely depend on the amount of energy but on the level of energy.
