Demon

Biodata

Terminology

• Not necessarily a separate species: Xin Chenzi and the Qin siblings are called Demons; the designation does not by itself identify a nonhuman origin 247 418.
• Distinct from summoned demons: Demonic practitioners can release demons or refine God-Demons as servants. The practitioner and the controlled being are not necessarily the same entity 596 615.
• Not a fixed power rank: Yue Wen observes that the fiends gathered above the Cloud-Mother Veil differ in cultivation and magical power 108.
• Not an infallible moral classification: The narrative explicitly notes that Demon Cult members can perform good deeds, while righteous-sect members can commit evil 630.

Power Progression

The documented advancement below belongs to an individual bearing the designation, not to every Demon.

Abilities & Skills

Flying Weapons and Magical Treasures

• Hundred Barbarians Mountain practitioners use banners and swords while jointly refining Golden Silkworm Gu 247.
• Cultivators confronted by a young rescuer wield flying swords and flying forks alongside evil techniques 476.
• More than forty practitioners defending a ritual altar deploy magical treasures and release demons that swallow clouds, spew mist, and project Demon Light 596.

Poison and Gu Refinement

• Xin Chenzi leads disciples in directing Golden Silkworm Gu to feed on poisonous flowers beneath a cliff 247.
• One practitioner attacks with a poisonous mixture of smoke, dust, and watery mist 476.
• Such attacks have elemental counters: Wutu true qi sweeps away the poisonous mist, while Geng Metal essence qi breaks two practitioners’ flying forks 476.

God-Demon Refinement and Fusion

• Zhao Changsu’s followers refine Great Strength God-Demons for him while he remains imprisoned behind a Buddhist sealing stone 615.
• Two fleeing practitioners achieve human-demon unity and accelerate their Demon Light escape by biting their tongues and expelling blood 615.
• Control can reverse: One follower is killed and eaten by his own God-Demon under Zhao Changsu’s direction 615.
• Fusion endangers identity: Human-demon unity links the practitioner’s and God-Demon’s minds and spiritual breaths, eroding the distinction between them 558.

Mental and Spiritual Attacks

• Qin Mo drains Yue Wen’s spirit, vitality, and blood from a distance through demonic magic 420.
• Demonic arts commonly attack the primordial spirit, exploit desires, steal souls, or produce illusions 634 761.
• Limits: A perfected Yang Spirit offers immunity to demonic temptation and covert mental control; physical magical strength alone does not provide the same protection 565 634.
