Having obtained such a demonic art, Chen Xia naturally would not give it up.
Once cultivated to Major Completion, it would turn him into a True Demon.
That was hardly the image of an upstanding man, but Chen Xia did not care. All that mattered was strength.
Besides, Chen Xia would use his Second Primordial Spirit to cultivate it and keep control. That way, even if there were side effects, he would have enough room to respond before anything went wrong.
