Background / History
Evil Immortals are a hostile class of immortal cultivators distinguished by their use of Evil Qi, soul manipulation, blood sacrifice, and formations. Their operations extend across multiple realms and frequently support the Evil God's return, including weakening seals on the Evil God's body and creating disorder to distract or divide righteous forces. 741 746
Their methods include infiltrating sects and families, manipulating cultivators through valued people or promises of eternal life, turning victims into pawns, and inciting conflicts between sects, Daoist cultivators, and demonic cultivators. They also spread evil techniques among mortals to expand chaos and suffering. 517
In the Mengxia Mountain Range, a group of Evil Immortals imprisoned immortal-beast clans in formations, draining their immortal essence, soul power, flesh, and blood. Yunxi reversed one such formation, making it consume the six Evil Immortals who had established it. 1007
The faction later sought to create a beast tide in the Mengxia Mountain Range while searching for unknown treasures that had fallen through spatial turbulence. Two Evil Immortals were defeated by the Ape Ancestor, who extracted their immortal infants; Yunxi sealed the infants, which were infused with evil energy. 1011
Evil Immortals also infiltrated major powers in the Immortal Realm. The Fan family contained disciples who practiced evil techniques, while an Immortal Elder named Zhongli acted as an accomplice during the attack on the six-armed ape clan. 1011 1037
Their conspiracies continued through the Grand Competition of the Five Regions, where a teleportation array abducted one-fifth of the participants to the Sea of Buried Gods. 1172 They also employed black armored beetles as puppets capable of controlling cultivators and devouring souls. 1151 1160
After Yunxi reached the Immortal Emperor realm and destroyed the Evil God's body, the remaining Evil Immortals became more cautious. Menglan Jun later used dream-entry to identify and eliminate hidden members across the Five Regions. 1342 1347
Methods & Abilities
Evil Qi Manipulation
Evil Immortals wield Evil Qi, which corrupts living beings, strengthens evil artifacts, and can persist as remnants of divine souls.
- Evil Qi can be infused into immortal infants, requiring containment after capture. 1011
- Traces of Evil Qi allow Evil Immortals to establish themselves in otherwise recovering worlds. 1308
- Wild Evil Qi was released when Yuwen He fused a shard into the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade. 1267
- Evil Qi is vulnerable to specialized purification methods, including Buddhist formations and the Heavenly Dipper Evil-Slaying Formation. 627 1336
Formations and Sacrificial Techniques
Evil Immortals use formations to trap victims, drain power, conceal their activities, and aid the Evil God's resurrection.
- A formation in Mengxia Mountain Range drained immortal essence, soul power, flesh, and blood from a family of Three-tailed Red Squirrels. 1007
- They used a formation to imprison the six-armed ape tribe until Yunxi sabotaged it from within. 1010
- An Evil Immortal sacrificed themself by self-destructing their Nascent Soul to damage the Evil-Slaying Formation and delay the sealing of the Evil God's body. 790
- A contingency left in a secret realm could drain immortal beasts of vitality until they became bones within moments. 1270
Possession and Puppetry
Evil Immortals can possess bodies, manipulate divine souls, and deploy controlled cultivators as puppets.
- A surviving wisp of an Evil Immortal's divine soul followed Yunxi through a Moon Gate, lay dormant in a man's body, then seized his body after he reached the immortal stage. 1097
- Black armored beetles are Evil Immortal puppets that can infiltrate the Immortal Realm, control cultivators, and devour souls. 1151 1160
- Controlled cultivators may be compelled to self-destruct, as occurred among Fan family disciples who practiced evil techniques. 1037
Domains and Combat Arts
Individual Evil Immortals can possess substantial direct combat strength, though their arrogance and reliance on schemes often leave them vulnerable to coordinated attacks.
- Ran Xi used a barbed long whip, a body-protection aura, and a domain against Yunxi, Bai Xiao, and Bai Qiao. 1009 1010
- An Out of Body-stage evil cultivator attacked Yunxi with a Three-edged Sword and blood-tainted sword intent. 596
- Evil Immortals may attempt to escape defeat through self-destruction of their immortal infants or divine souls. 402 1193 1269

Story Role / Major Arcs
Mengxia Mountain Range Conspiracy
Evil Immortals set formations against immortal-beast clans, sought hidden spatial-turbulence treasures, and attempted to provoke a beast tide. Yunxi, Menglan Jun, the Ice Baihu couple, and the Ape Ancestor dismantled their operations. 1007 1011
Immortal Realm Infiltration
The faction infiltrated families, sects, and institutions through evil techniques, puppet beetles, and controlled cultivators. Their presence prompted investigations by Immortal Kings and the Linyuan Immortal Emperor. 1037 1151 1160
Grand Competition Plot
The Evil Immortals planned to act during the Grand Competition of the Five Regions, ultimately abducting a large portion of the participants through a teleportation array. 1160 1172
Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade Incident
An Evil Immortal faction attempted to exploit the Saint Bone Star-Slaughtering Blade and sacrifice the secret realm's living beings to restore it. Yunxi's group wounded the artifact, killed an attacking Evil Immortal, and prevented its immediate use in the Evil God's resurrection. 1267 1268 1269
Five Regions Purges
Following Yunxi's rise to Immortal Emperor, Menglan Jun helped the Five Regions discreetly identify and eliminate hidden Evil Immortals. The Evil God's head was subsequently used to expose and purge several Evil Immortal lairs across the Ghost Domain, Demon Realm, and Buddha Domain. 1347 1353
Trivia
- Evil Immortals are not synonymous with demonic cultivators: the sealing formation around the Evil God's body in the Yangxi Realm was broken by demonic cultivators rather than Evil Immortals. 746
- Their schemes often prioritize chaos and resource acquisition over open confrontation. 517 1011
- Captured Evil Immortal immortal infants can remain dangerous because of the Evil Qi infused within them. 1011
