Biodata

Power Progression

• These advances belong to different Demons, rather than a single character’s cultivation history.

Destructive Classifications

• The same destructive classifications apply to Gods, Demons, and Malevolent Spirits 7.
• Higher examples include Seventh Realm Emperor Rank Evil Gods, Ninth Realm Quasi Sect Masters, and Sect Master Supremes 381 389 500.

Origins

Collective Thoughts and Emotions

• The Giant Corpse Demon beneath Taian Prefecture is born from converging human thoughts and intentions, which also sustain its recovery 157.
• The Dark Twin-Headed Evil God originates from a city’s collective fear of darkness 298.
• Resentment from Niujia Village’s dead, combined with a remnant of a bull-headed deity’s spirit, produces an entity identified by Zhang Yan as an Evil God 36.
• Forbidden Evil Gods can resemble established Sacred Beings. Documented examples take the images of Holy Lord Emperor Guan and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva 454 500.

Corrupted Deities

• The ancestors of the Ji Clan, Lieyang Sect, and Iron Flag Gate become Demons during the Taian Prefecture crisis 166.
• A nine-headed Demon resembles the Nine Sons Demon and bears the faces of nine Great Yan Sect Kings, but is explicitly described as having only a limited connection to them 218.

Innate Beings

• Old Ancestor Yin Yang is innately born, with solar power in his left eye and Taiyin power in his right. After tens of thousands of years of sentience, he reaches Ninth Realm Quasi Sect Master strength 381.

Appearance

• Humanlike disguises: The White Jade Boy resembles a fair, plump child with rosy cheeks and lively eyes; his appearance conceals his predatory nature 119.
• Changing presentation: Mr. Zhu’s green robe becomes blood-colored as his gentle demeanor gives way to ferocity before his students 82.
• Mixed features: The Yin Yang Demon has a half-male, half-female face; another Demon has a pig’s head and human body 99 181.
• Multiple limbs or heads: Examples include a one-horned, four-armed Demon and the two-headed Dark Twin-Headed Evil God 181 298.
• Colossal bodies: The White Jade Boy manifests a hundred-foot demonic body, while the Green Robe Lady assumes a mountain-sized form 140 142.

Abilities & Skills

Devouring Blood Food

• The Yin Yang Demon consumes a village of more than a hundred people with a single inhalation 92.
• The Heaven-Swallowing Demon Emperor devours the inhabitants of cities he targets and is considered an enemy by other Gods and Demons 319.
• The Great Black Sky Demon Lord consumes the Mountain Mover Emperor Lord to heal a wound 326.
• The Myriad Corpse Old Man seeks to devour Lord Guan Er to complete his Emperor Rank 116.

Absorbing Thoughts

• Some Evil Gods gain strength from fear and other thoughts generated by witnesses to their attacks 433.
• The Giant Corpse Demon’s leaking influence accelerates supernatural outbreaks. The resulting panic generates more thoughts, further increasing the number of emerging threats 157.
• Gods and Demons born from a particular population’s collective thoughts face difficulty growing away from their birthplace unless they expand their territory and control more people 298.

Regeneration and Survival

• The Myriad Corpse Old Man survives decapitation and emerges from West Lotus Mountain stronger than before 117.
• The Forbidden Evil God in Chang’an reforms its destroyed body by gathering the thoughts of living beings 455.
• Survival is not absolute: Lord Guan Er destroys the Myriad Corpse Old Man’s True Spirit and Primordial Spirit, while Empress Yunxiao completely annihilates another Evil God 118 433.

Avatars and Separated Spirits

• The Yin Yang Demon operates through a separated spirit; losing it costs him a painstakingly cultivated asset 92.
• The Green Robe Lady maintains avatars, including one with a younger appearance than her main body 139.
• The Great Black Sky Demon Lord combines his avatars’ strength in battle, but later fails to recall an avatar affected by Huang Huai’s allies 419 450.

Society and Territory

• Thousand Peaks Mountain: Mr. Zhu commands tens of thousands of Demons. Local beings provide children as sacrifices, including children sent to his Bamboo Sea school 68 82 181.
• Mount Cang: At least twenty to thirty Demons possess strength comparable to the White Jade Boy’s Fifth Realm level 119.
• Mountain God Country: Demons live openly near human settlements. The Seven-Star White Tiger High God and White-faced Scholar seize a mountain, gather more than a hundred followers, and proclaim themselves mountain gods 191.
• Enslaved populations: One canyon city holds hundreds of thousands of humans under thousands of Demons. Its inhabitants are forced to reproduce and offer sacrifices, with some eventually consumed as Blood Food 298.
• Competing interests: Demons do not form a uniformly cooperative bloc. Mr. Zhu intends to profit by devouring either Lord Guan Er or the Myriad Corpse Old Man after their battle 122.

• Refinement into pills: Huang Huai uses an alchemical furnace and Samadhi True Fire to destroy an Evil God and turn its power into medicine 176.
