The Strengths and Weaknesses of the Mind Demon System

Its nature was basically equivalent to beating someone to death with hundred-yuan bills—and killing them with a single throw.

Compared to that level of extravagance, they preferred to use energy to manifest every trait of the strongest beings they had seen, combining them all into a true all-rounder.

Even against Ninth Order beings, as long as they had seen how the other party fought and carried themselves, they could rely on fantasy manifestation to forcibly gain that person's attack power and methods.

But surely everyone could see it: powerful as this system was, its problems were equally obvious.

When it came to independent innovation, they relied more on imitation and combination—commonly known as stitched-together monstrosities.

That was also why they had lost the competition in their own era. Some forms of strength were not one-sided and would not reveal themselves outright.

Thus, flaws beyond remedy could emerge in their imitation and combinations. Below Ninth Order, such flaws were nothing much, but at Ninth Order—the stage that led toward the ultimate—they could neither be concealed nor erased.

Take Life-Extinguishing Sword Qi, for example. After the Mind Demon World had seen the Mage World's Life-Extinguishing Sword Qi, they could completely use vast amounts of energy to manifest their own Sword Qi.

It possessed every property and all the attack power of Life-Extinguishing Sword Qi, and could even absorb negative aura to replenish its consumption.

But they could not use negative aura to condense fresh Life-Extinguishing Sword Qi again.

They could only use enormous amounts of energy to replicate that result.

This had both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage was that replicating results was extremely fast. For instance, Mage World mages needed a thousand years to condense a strand of Eighth-Order Sword Qi, but Eighth-Order experts of the Mind Demon World did not.
