| Name | Evil Soul Master (邪魂师) |
| Species/Race | Soul master; a classification associated with evil martial souls, corrupting influences, or evil cultivation methods 463 |
| Affiliation | Varies; the Holy Spirit Cult is an Evil Soul Master organization, but independent Evil Soul Masters also exist 157 460 |
Background / History
How Evil Soul Masters arise
| Route | Description |
|---|---|
| Evil martial soul | A soul master may awaken one innately. A martial soul with latent evil potential can also transform later in life 463 532. |
| Soul ring or soul bone influence | Absorbing one from an evil soul beast can, in rare cases, transform its recipient 463. |
| Secret methods | The most common route: cultivation techniques can grant evil abilities or transform a martial soul. The Holy Spirit Cult also has a conversion ritual that can be applied to others 463. |
Darkness, evil, bloodsucking, and poison attributes can indicate potential for evil transformation, but an ominous-looking martial soul does not by itself establish that its owner is an Evil Soul Master. Soul masters with such attributes can nevertheless be labeled and persecuted on suspicion alone 532 1087.
Abilities & Skills
Rapid cultivation
- Some methods absorb other soul masters’ soul power. They can produce fast gains before level 70, but the resulting impure soul power makes further advancement difficult and may leave a cultivator stuck at Soul Saint 124.
- Evil transformation can greatly increase cultivation speed, but an uncontrolled evil martial soul may affect its owner’s mind. Only a minority maintain their sanity under that influence 532.
- These drawbacks are not universal: the Death God Messenger’s zombie body turns impure soul power into nourishment, while Bei Bei’s Ultimate Attribute martial soul refines power gained through Evil Soul Master methods 451 573.
Secret methods and soul tools
- Holy Spirit Cult methods include transforming or strengthening martial souls, consuming life force or blood for temporary power, and making evil soul tools 464.
- Methods differ between individuals. Two independent Evil Soul Masters cultivated with soul beast corpses, while a Holy Spirit Cult disciple used a Soul Devouring Evil Toad martial soul to seize soul beast souls 157 163 165.
Organizations and reception
- The Holy Spirit Cult’s headquarters is populated almost entirely by Evil Soul Masters, though it also houses select people who are not Evil Soul Masters. Its branches can field large, coordinated forces 460 617.
- Publicly exposing oneself as an Evil Soul Master can provoke suppression even in the Sun Moon Empire. Shrek Academy likewise treats exterminating Evil Soul Masters as a duty 706 828.
- The label remains contested: Death God Messenger says the older designation Fallen judged soul masters by their actions rather than their martial soul attributes or cultivation methods 828.
