First Impressions

If you've read plenty of Xianxia featuring the typical trope of a human protagonist embarking on a cultivation path, Myriad Demons Ancestor feels quite refreshing right from the opening chapters. Di Shi Tian doesn't reincarnate as a human genius; instead, he becomes a black tiger in a world of immortals, forced to learn how to survive in the form of a demonic beast.

The fascinating part is that readers get to see the cultivation world from the side usually branded as monsters. Di Shi Tian possesses human logic but his identity belongs to the demon race, so the story doesn't just revolve around getting stronger—it explores the conflict of how humans and the demon race face off.

Plot and Pacing

The plot follows a trajectory from a humble beginning to massive expansion. It starts with a young tiger adapting to nature, learning to cultivate demonic power, uncovering his bloodline, and dealing with hazards; later, the scale shifts to taming beasts, building an army, and competing with established cultivation powers.

I personally love this individual-to-empire progression. However, spanning over a thousand chapters, the story inevitably has segments focused on ranking up, gathering resources, and preparing for the next leap, so those who prefer a breakneck pace might find some phases a bit drawn out.

Characters and Realms

Di Shi Tian is the type of protagonist who will appeal to readers who appreciate decisiveness. A modern human in his previous life, he enters this world with intellect far surpassing ordinary demonic beasts. His personality is cold and steadfast, yet he remains loyal to his earliest companions.

• Parents: White Tiger Mother plays the role of Di Shi Tian's foster mother
• Friends: Spotted Tiger is regarded as a brother to Di Shi Tian
• Subordinates: numerous wolf spirits, eagle spirits, and snake spirits gradually gather under his command
• Cultivation: emphasizes demonic power, bloodline, and the evolution of demonic beasts

The World of demon cultivation

This is where I rank Myriad Demons Ancestor higher than many typical reincarnation stories. The demon race isn't just a handful of monsters appearing to be defeated by the protagonist; they are built into a faction with its own interests and standing in the cultivation world.

Compared to Tales of Demons and Gods, where humans and demon spirits are tied to a different power system, Myriad Demons Ancestor puts the reader firmly on the side of the demon race. And if placed alongside Rebirth of the Skeleton Life, they share that novel sense of the MC not being human, but Di Shi Tian goes further in building an entire demon race power base.

Strengths

• The idea of Di Shi Tian reincarnating as a black tiger creates a very different perspective compared to traditional Xianxia
• The demon cultivation system tied to demonic power, bloodline, and evolution feels unique
• World scale expands from personal survival to building a demon race empire
• The protagonist is smart, decisive, and not limited to the role of a lone cultivator

Weaknesses

• The massive length means some phases of leveling up and faction building can feel repetitive
• The system of realms, demonic power, bloodline, and various unique concepts require a learning curve for newcomers
• As the story expands in scale, the intimate feel of the early chapters isn't always maintained
• This isn't a story for a quick read; its charm lies in the long-term developmental journey

Final Verdict

Myriad Demons Ancestor is most notable for turning a familiar reincarnation trope into the journey of a tiger stepping into the world of demon cultivation. If you love a smart protagonist, clear progression, and especially the thrill of building power from near-zero, this is a series worth your time.

A Xianxia work with a very distinct demon race perspective, standing out for its journey from a tiny black tiger to the ruler of ten thousand demons, though this comes with great length and plenty of formulaic level-up segments.
