Chapter 750: Chapter 192: Lu Mountain Kanglong Dominance

So that was all he was worried about.

He smiled faintly and explained, "Lord Chu, there’s no need to worry. That old monster from the Zhang Family is terrifying, but he would never dare to rashly Devour those members of the Demonized Demon Race."

Chu Fan’s expression shifted, and he leaned forward slightly. "Oh? What do you mean? Is there some trick to it?"

Wang Yanfeng organized his thoughts and said slowly, "As you know, my lord, devouring-type Demon Techniques are not uncommon in the Demon Dao; in fact, they’re a dime a dozen."

"But any such Demon Technique, no matter how heaven-defying it’s claimed to be, comes with immense limitations and a heavy price. It’s impossible to Devour endlessly."

"Otherwise, the ones standing at the pinnacle of the Martial Dao in this world wouldn’t be the legendary Martial Saints..."

"...but rather those powerful experts of the Demon Dao who grow stronger by devouring."

Wang Yanfeng paused before continuing his in-depth analysis. "That old monster from the Zhang Family has lived for so long and is incredibly cunning. If he could truly keep devouring the power of others, along with that strange Pollution Power, wouldn’t his strength have snowballed until he was invincible long ago?"

"Why would he still be confined to a single family, with his Cultivation stuck at the peak of the Sixth Realm, the Immortal Realm?"

Chu Fan nodded thoughtfully. That did make sense.

Seeing that Chu Fan was taking it in, Wang Yanfeng elaborated, "He’s completely deranged, treating the younger generations of the Zhang Family as livestock to be fed upon. He dares to continuously Devour their Primordial Qi only because they all cultivate the same Cultivation Technique. Their bloodlines are connected, and their Primordial Qi shares the same origin as his, minimizing any rejection."

"Even so, he needs a great deal of time to digest it."

"While it’s much faster than cultivating on his own, it’s not as insanely swift as we might imagine."

"And as for devouring the Primordial Qi of outsiders? That’s not nearly so simple."

He held up his fingers, listing examples as if rattling off family treasures. "Take my Wang Family, for example. We specialize in Spear Techniques, so our Primordial Qi is mostly of the sharp Metal Element. Taking it into your body would feel like being sliced by knives."

"The people from the Profound Ice Palace have Primordial Qi of Extreme Cold Ice Force. Swallowing that would only freeze your internal organs."

"The Primordial Qi from Celestial Sword Mountain and the Profound Heart Sword Sect contains a sharp and domineering Sword Intent that would tear apart your meridians and bones from the inside."

"As for the Wuji Sect, their Primordial Qi has a wind attribute; it’s erratic and difficult to capture."

"The Cultivation Techniques people practice are vastly different, so the attributes of their Primordial Qi naturally vary..."

"Although he could forcibly Devour it, there would be too many impurities. The Refinement would be incredibly difficult, the process excruciatingly painful, and the slightest mistake could shatter his meridians."

At this point, Wang Yanfeng glanced down at the forest speeding past below them and said in a low voice, "And for a human Martial Artist to cross the species barrier and Devour the Demonic Power of the Demon Race is even harder than ascending to heaven!"

"You must understand, humans are the lords of creation, while demons are spirits of heaven and earth..."

"The method the Demon Race or Demon Beasts use to absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism is vastly different from that of humans. The Demonic Power they cultivate is completely wild, savage, and tyrannical. Furthermore, the nature of Demonic Power varies completely between different types of demons."

"If he dared to swallow that chaotic and violent Demonic Power, he wouldn’t be far from exploding and dying!"

"I see." Chu Fan rubbed his chin, a flicker of understanding in his eyes.

Having learned this piece of common Martial Arts knowledge and realizing that the Zhang Family’s old monster was under so many restrictions that he wouldn’t dare to casually Devour Demonic Power, the great weight in Chu Fan’s heart could finally be set aside.

"Wait."

Chu Fan suddenly thought of another key point. His eyes narrowed, and that dangerous aura reappeared. "What if he doesn’t Devour the Demonic Power, but simply extracts the ’Pollution Power’ from it?"

Hearing this, Wang Yanfeng’s expression grew even stranger. He looked as if he were staring at a monster who had cultivated himself stupid.

This Lord Chu was absurdly strong, capable of smashing a terrifying Wolf King at the Ruyi Realm to death with just a few punches.

But he was clueless about common knowledge that most Martial Artists from Noble Families were aware of.

It was like a peerless master asking you, "Why do people have to eat?"

If anyone else had asked such a Xiaobai question, Wang Yanfeng would have certainly sneered and mocked their ignorance.

But the one asking was Chu Fan. Even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare show the slightest hint of ridicule.

He could only explain patiently, "Lord Chu, that Pollution Power... doesn’t exist independently. It has long since fused with Primordial Qi or Demonic Power, making it inseparable. You can’t just pluck it out like you’re picking beans."

"It’s like a drop of thick ink dyeing a basin of clear water."

"The water is the ink, and the ink is the water."

"You could even say that the so-called Pollution Power is, in fact, our own Primordial Qi or Demonic Power. It has simply... been fundamentally ’altered’ and ’polluted’ by some mysterious and terrifying force from the depths of the void."

"This Pollution Power... to this day, no one has been able to completely separate it and expel it from their body."

"The true Pollution Power had already permeated our flesh, bones, Primordial Qi, and even our souls from the very moment we began cultivating and absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Mechanism."

Wang Yanfeng’s tone grew more serious. "If a Righteous Martial Artist is injured by Demonic Cultivators and becomes heavily tainted with Demonic Qi and Evil Qi, as long as they don’t die, there are still Methods to use Elixirs or have a master channel their energy to force the foreign Demon Fiend out of their body."

"But you can’t do that with the Pollution Power."

"It’s a true cancer that clings to the bone. Once you’re tainted, it seeps into your very marrow and assimilates you."

"Even the legendary Martial Saints..."

Reaching this point, he abruptly stopped, his expression changing.

Secrets concerning the level of a Martial Saint had always been accompanied by great karma; they were taboo subjects.

He hastily backtracked, awkwardly wrenching the topic back. "In short, if that old monster from the Zhang Family wants to extract the Pollution Power from the Mutated Demon Fiends, he must Devour their violent Demonic Power along with it."

"It’s a complete dead end. If he really did that, it would mean he has a death wish and isn’t long for this world!"

"Phew... You scared me for a second there." Chu Fan let out a breath. "When I saw those Mutated Demon Wolves earlier, I thought we were completely done for."
