The reason why the Demon Path is criticized by people is precisely because it is inhumane.
As the saying goes, killing without torturing, killing a chicken is just a matter of twisting its neck, this is not the way of the Demon Path. But if you soak the chicken in boiling water and leave it with a last breath, then pluck its feathers one by one with tweezers, that’s the Demon Path, it’s the same principle as torturing cats and dogs.
Chen Huaian spent half a day reading through the entire Heavenly Demon Art.
Just reading it without practicing made him feel a bit psychologically abnormal.
The main issue was how inhumane this thing truly was.
Among all of them, the refinement of the Devil’s Eye was the most outrageous, requiring one to devour the flesh and blood of their closest kin, refining their pain and fear.
This “closest kin” not only included family members but also included the affectionate partner who has feelings for the demon cultivator.
Moreover, at least 99 people must be refined.
How outrageous!
The Chaosheng Formula was still too gentle.
Was there no other more violent cultivation method?
With a try-it-out mentality, he overlaid the Lingxi in his mind onto the Heavenly Demon Art.
In an instant, a strange change occurred on the stone tablet.
[Heavenly Demon Art]
[Preview of Modifiable Items]
[Seize the Unborn Essence of Heaven and Earth → Seize the Devilish Energy of Demon Cultivators]
[Refine the Reluctant Souls of Ten Thousand Spirits → Refine the Evil Spirits’ Souls]
[Crush bones for firewood, burn blood as a lamp → Crush the bones of evil spirits, burn the blood of evil spirits]
[Nine Thunderfires to refine the body → Ninefold Purple Void Divine Thunder to refine the body]
[Hatred and Greed to refine Devil Eyes → Three Pure Fires to refine Fire Eyes]
[Locking the Dragon Marrow with Seven Emotions → Condensing the Dragon Spine with Yin-Yang Harmony]
[Boiling the Heart Fire with the Wails of All Beings → Shaping the Golden Body with the Faith of All Beings]
[The sun and moon as ornaments on the shoulders, stars dissolve into nothingness in the palm, at the end of this path, refining heaven, earth, and demons, using the wicked as fuel!]
“My goodness… Superb Moon Spirit Wind Shadow Skill Modifier…” Chen Huaian stared blankly, overwhelmed with awe.
What is this?
This is called – No one supports my lofty ambition, I will ascend to the mountain peak alone.
Is this even a Demon Skill?
This is fundamentally a superlative body-refining technique!
And it’s also the nemesis of demons and evil spirits!
Chaosheng Formula follows the path of Dharma cultivation, while Heavenly Demon Art follows the path of physical cultivation.
He almost already saw himself after achieving dual cultivation in both physical and Dharma paths, grabbing demons and evil spirits instantly refining them.
Refine!
Must refine!
Chen Huaian held the stone tablet like a treasure.
He had always suffered from social anxiety, wasn’t it because his strength didn’t match his appearance? After achieving supreme cultivation through dual cultivation, when he meets Qingran baby in real life, Qingran baby can only sing “Conquer” on the bed, haha!
[Would you like to use Lingxi 㣉 Document to modify the details of the Heavenly Demon Art?]
[After modification, a new cultivation technique will be generated, and the original Heavenly Demon Art stone tablet will be preserved.]
“Modify!”
[Please name the new cultivation technique.]
Chen Huaian stroked his chin, eyes twinkling: “Let’s not change the name, it’ll still be called Heavenly Demon Art.”
Buzz—!
A completely crimson stone tablet materialized beside the black stone tablet.
Unlike the black stone tablet which frequently exuded demonic energy,
this crimson stone tablet exuded fiery and righteous energy.
He put away the Heavenly Demon tablet.
This thing was like a time bomb, might be useful later, so afterwards he read the first volume of the Heavenly Demon tablet.
This volume was named – Blood Cocoon.
Summarizing roughly, it involved consuming the flesh and blood of over a hundred demons and evil spirits to temper oneself, forming a new flesh and skin. The more demons and evil spirits consumed, the stronger this skin would be. Consuming a hundred was the threshold for cultivating the second volume.
It’s worth noting that although the general principles of the skill were modified, the core of the skill did not change. Because he placed the crimson stone tablet alongside the remnants of the Heavenly Demon Art, the aura of those two pages seeped into the crimson stone tablet, but was repelled by the righteous energy, giving off the impression of wanting to recognize a father but being rejected.
That is to say,
even if he cultivated the revised main text – Heavenly Demon Art, he could still control those who cultivate the remnants – True Heavenly Demon Art.
This was very interesting…
A myriad of selfish yet beneficial ideas instantly surfaced in Chen Huaian’s mind.
“Haha! Qingran baby, boost power, demons! Where are there demons and evil spirits?!” Chen Huaian was now extremely excited, after all, there were many tasks in the Demon-Slaying Division, and most of these tasks were related to demons and evil spirits.
He wanted to go out and accept tasks right away.
But looking at the time—it was 4:30 AM.
Since it was almost dawn anyway, he might as well sleep.
Although he was indeed at the second layer of the Qi Condensation stage, he hadn’t reached the point where he didn’t need sleep for rest. From Emperor Jiang’s descent until now, one event followed another, his spirit was constantly tense, and now that things had finally settled down, he felt waves of fatigue.
Lying down on the bed, just about to close his eyes,
Chen Huaian suddenly remembered something he hadn’t done, so he quickly sat up and opened the game customer service—today he hadn’t annoyed anyone yet.
“Help me deduce who else is hiding behind that demon cultivator.” Chen Huaian narrowed his eyes.
He had already conducted an experiment before.
Even if the celestial deduction didn’t reach its conclusion, the celestial phenomena caused by celestial deduction would still appear. In other words, even without spending any money, he could make the entity behind feel the sensation of being peeked at by the celestial mechanism.
[Deducing celestial mechanism… Note: Target is protected by a Dao artifact. Forcing the deduction will result in at least 2000 layers of fortune loss status. The player’s current strength cannot bear it, hence the celestial deduction is rejected!]
“Hehehe… See if your master doesn’t get nauseated to death by this old man～”
Chen Huaian was delighted.
He turned off his phone and fell asleep immediately.
…
Cangyun Realm.
Ten Thousand Mountains—
Lingpu, who was sitting cross-legged meditating, suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and woke up in shock. She abruptly looked up at the sky, seeing dark clouds covering the sky, lightning snakes dancing wildly, and a golden vertical pupil scanning left and right.
A strong sense of being watched emanated from that golden vertical pupil.
“This aura… Damn!” Lingpu’s face turned grim. “It’s that mysterious sword cultivator from before! How did they find me so quickly?”
She gripped the Dao artifact beside her.
Her heart couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
She wasn’t afraid of being spied on. After all, she was at the third level of Cave Void, fully capable of fighting that sword cultivator, it would be a good opportunity to settle the grudge of those two sword strikes.
What she feared was her painstaking preparations being discovered by that sword cultivator.
If that happened, it wouldn’t just ruin her plans.
It would also affect several other great individuals, and even concern the important matters of the Cangyun Realm.
Fortunately, the golden pupil soon disappeared.
The feeling of being watched dissipated along with it.
There was no sound, indicating that the other party apparently hadn’t discovered anything.
Snap—!
The Dao artifact in her hand cracked with a fine fissure.
This was the price paid for resisting the celestial deduction.
Deducing the celestial mechanism harms the foundation, even with the help of a Dao artifact, it would still be marked by the Dao of Heaven, which is detrimental to cultivation. The other party didn’t use the aura of the Dao artifact but forcibly drove the celestial mechanism to deduce.
As such, the cost was enormous.
Realizing this, Lingpu couldn’t help but sneer.
“Good… If you have the ability, come deduce this old nun every day! Let’s see if you’re struck back by the Dao of Heaven first, or if the Dao artifact of this old nun is crushed by the celestial mechanism first!”
