Chapter 354: Chapter 197 Demonization_2

"The carcasses of Demon Martial Artists are still considered quite valuable in the eyes of many."

"After all, they contain a Demon Bloodline that has been compatible with Humans; extracting a part from the corpses to circulate and sell in the grey area can fetch a high price. Whether the next Human can fuse with these bloodlines is not the concern of the seller."

After Zhuo Xueer explained, Fang Yu roughly understood what Demonization was.

Demonization is a double-edged sword.

Enhancing Demonization can increase combat power.

But it will also make the body neither Human nor demon, eventually becoming a pure demon, and due to the erosion of the Demon Bloodline, it leads to mental derangement.

Fang Yu had brushed upon similar debuffs in forums.

Basically, it means the character becomes uncontrollable; you can only watch helplessly as the character goes insane, unable to do anything until the character dies or the debuff is lifted.

The example in the forum was a character with an intellectual disability, a madman.

Whenever they went insane, players couldn’t control their characters, only able to watch from a first-person perspective as the character moved on its own.

Luckily, the madness would subside, occasionally returning to normal, and then the player could control it again.

Translated to Demonization, 100% Demonization progress means the character is completely out of control, equivalent to deleting the account.

"Can the degree of Demonization be reduced?"

Zhuo Xueer shook her head slightly.

"It’s difficult."

"Demonization among Demon Martial Artists is, to Humans, what breathing is."

"It’s a natural process."

"It’s just like the components of a demon have been integrated into our Human bodies, becoming one entity, or rather, only by integrating this part of the Demon Bloodline can one become a Demon Martial Artist."

"When Human and Demon Bloodline become one entity, no matter what we do afterward."

"Whether it’s growing in strength, cultivating Martial Arts, or fighting in daily battles, it’s all equivalent to utilizing the power of the Demon Bloodline."

"You might think that not actively using Demonization means you’re not using that power, but in reality, it’s not the case. You and the Demon Bloodline are one, every move you make stimulates that power, unable to escape its influence."

"Even if you do nothing, do not cultivate Martial Arts with the Demon Bloodline, and do not boost your strength through Demonization, as time passes, the progress of Demonization will still accumulate."

"Even thinking of not cultivating, not becoming stronger, not enhancing your spiritual power or mental power, not trying to understand and suppress Demonization, will in fact cause Demonization to progress even faster, leading to it becoming uncontrollable."

"But after all, Humans are an extremely intelligent race."

"Since we can think of using Demonization to become stronger, naturally, we can also research methods to reduce the degree of Demonization."

"The first method is relatively simple: killing spirits."

"Spirits are the natural enemy of demons."

"And as Demon Martial Artists, we inherit a similar relationship."

"Spirits can, to an extent, suppress and control the progress of Demonization."

"Killing a spirit and drawing its residual Fragment into one’s body."

"The power of a spirit conflicts with the power of the Demon Bloodline, turning your body into a battlefield."

"In the mutual consumption and struggle between the two powers, a small amount of spirit will weaken your Demon Bloodline power, thereby reducing the progress of Demonization."

"But if the spirit drawn in after its death is too powerful, the remaining power of the spirit will, in the process of eradicating your Demon Bloodline, tear your body apart into Fragments, causing a fragmented death."

"This is not about compatibility, but a gamble resembling raising a venomous creature. The risk is almost the same as complete Demonization."

Fang Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

"This is considered simple?"

"Yeah, although spirits are hard to find, they do exist."

"But the second method is much more troublesome. It requires enhancing your Spirit to suppress Demonization."

Zhuo Xueer said.

"Spirit and will are mysterious and elusive. There’s also no clear way to enhance them."

"Some to enhance their Spirit become insane, killing their entire family, but still unable to stop Demonization, and we had to kill them with our own hands."

"Some undergo austere cultivation, eating only vegetarian meals three times a day, never doing evil deeds, doing good deeds every day, but whether it’s effective or not, nobody knows."

"After all, in the absence of spirits, the daily dual cultivation of abstract concepts like emptiness and meditation is also an essential lesson for us Demon Martial Artists."

"After all, spirits are not easy to find, nor to kill; their strength is such that even we Demon Martial Artists have trouble dealing with them."

"Therefore, thinking of every possible way to strengthen one’s own Spirit and will can greatly help in controlling the progress of Demonization."

"I don’t know about the other two halls, but in our Yangshen Hall, this ’Divine’ character refers to Spirit."

"Nurturing the Spirit, strengthening the Spirit, and thereby controlling Demonization, then strengthening oneself."

"However, among the two directions for Demon Martial Artists to become stronger,"

"Martial Arts and Demonization, the latter is somewhat of a shortcut, a quick path to power."

"After all, Demonization is not difficult, while Martial Arts is truly about reaping what you sow."

"Of course, the best scenario is to advance on both paths simultaneously. While focusing on the cultivation of Martial Arts, also keep the cultivation of Demonization in mind."

"It’s like Martial Arts is the root, and Demonization is the leaf that sprouts from the root."

"The leaves can shield the roots, covering temporary weakness, but cannot resolve the fundamental problem."

"With Martial Arts as the root, without it, Demonization is just a rootless tree, and becoming a demon is just a matter of time."
