Mad Demon can acquire a new ability and evolve by taking in a Magic Stone, we can speculate that a Senior Demon is likely also created this way. It wasn't born a Senior Demon.

History
The Demons has been fighting against Witches and Human Civilization since the First Battle of Divine Will.
The Underground Civilization were burrowing tunnels all over the mountains, and encountered a fissure in the stratum which penetrated directly from the Blackstone region to the Sky-sea Realm. They inadvertently broke through the barrier that separated their den from the Sky-sea Realm. The latter took advantage of this and invaded the Blackstone region, slaughtering numerous and making them suffer one defeat after another.
To the Demon race, it was also the perfect time to verify the legacy rumor. So the King, who at the time had not upgraded yet, led a party and did a pincer attack from behind.
This war lasted almost ten years, the number of Primal Demons demons that perished in this war was more than in the first Battle of Divine Will under the hands of humans. The outcome in the end was that both the King and the Sky-sea Realm received a part of the legacy shard.
The King placed the shard he acquired together with the legacy shard of the Demon race, and the two combined into one—in that moment, they took over everything they once had: language, wisdom, magical skill, life and became far stronger than they were during the First Battle of Divine Will.[5]
During the Second Battle of Divine Will, they won the war against Mankind represented by the Witch Federation, and conquered the entire Fertiles Plains, but can only be in a defensive position against Sky-Sea Realm.
During the third Battle of Divine Will, they had to fight against the First Army of Graycastle, the Witch Union, and Taquila Witches.
At the beginning, the humans who lost most of their knowledge of the demons didn't oppose much resistance, but they soon adapt to their way to fight and with their new technologies, the Demons were taken by surprise, and soon lost more and more battle.
Later, the Holy city of Taquila, conquered during the Second Battle of Divine Will, was taken back by humans.[6]
