Bone spikes erupted from his body, extending out of his joints. His eyes completely turned into a bright violet as he bellowed, “I’m going to eat you!” In the end, the bellow completely became a wild’s beast's roar as he put up a fierce struggle.
“He has completely demonified! Kill him quick!” The fat demonfolk experienced a violent force of resistance beneath his foot. Even with his strength, he struggled to keep it from breaking free.
The thin demonfolk cried out, “How can he possess such power!?”
Demonification was the most basic power of demonfolk. Once they used it, their strength would multiply.
However, demonfolk focused on becoming one with the demonic nature. If the power of their demon hearts was too great, and they were unable to keep it under control, it would take over their bodies. They would lose all rationality and become violent, wild beasts, completely demonifying.
Even vicious demonfolk never hoped to end up like that, which was why they were extremely careful when they devoured demon hearts. Normally, eating the demon hearts of demonfolk weaker than them would not have any effect. It would only make their demon qi impure. However, while devouring the demon hearts of powerful demonfolk could increase their strength, it was very easy for them to lose control and completely demonify.
The butcher’s blade was swung viciously towards Duoge’s neck. With a clank, it missed and struck the ground.
Duoge pulled himself out from under the foot, lunging towards the fat demonfolk. With a spurt, he dove into his great big belly. The fat demonfolk seemed heavily pregnant, except a hand extended from here and a leg burst out from there.
The thin demonfolk waved his tentacles around with no idea what to do. The fat demonfolk’s face was filled with malice. He lifted the butcher’s blade and stabbed it into his own body, plunging right through him. In a short while, he stabbed himself seven or eight times. Blood spattered and covered the walls and ground. It was an extremely bloody sight to behold.
With a clatter, the butcher’s blade fell to the ground. The fat demonfolk’s chest bulged, and it erupted with a bang.
Duoge burst out of his body with a demon heart in his mouth. His body was riddled with horrific slashes. Standing on four legs, he was like a vicious, little beast. He chewed up the demon heart messily and swallowed it. His wounds began to recover at a visible rate.
Another three bone spikes grew from his head like horns; his body had swelled up as well. His mouth stretched from ear to ear, revealing a row of razor-sharp teeth.
He had completely lost his human shape. Swiveling his head, his violet eyes locked onto the thin demonfolk and he lunged over. The thin demonfolk turned around to run, but it was already too late. Duoge threw him onto the ground.
With a crack, Duoge’s mouth opened to an unbelievable angle before closing together violently. A semicircular chunk vanished from the thin demonfolk’s shoulder. At the same time, Duoge swung his claws about and became covered in blood spatter.
The tentacles coiled around him loosened. Duoge abandoned the corpse and leapt over to one side. After eating the two demon hearts, his body had become even larger. His small, skinny body had now become as sturdy and agile as a panther’s, and he was several times larger than a panther. He was covered in sharp spikes, which made him seem extremely hideous.
Lowering his head and sniffing the ground, he turned around and leapt onto a wall, running off into the corridor.
“The little demonfolk has become a demonic beast. He can’t turn back anymore.” The Unraging monk sighed gently. During the century of guarding the Demon Suppression hall, who knew how many times he had seen similar events already.
“Are you sympathising with demonfolk, junior brother? He might be young, but his demonic nature is deeply rooted. They only have themselves to blame for all of this. They can’t blame anyone else,” the Dauntless monk said coldly.
“You’re right, junior brother. Let’s check on your precious disciple instead. Her situation doesn’t seem too great!”
……
When Li Qingshan stepped through the door, Xiao An sensed something and extended her hand, wanting to grab him, but she was too late. Her surroundings dimmed and brightened, but when she looked around, she could not see even a trace of Li Qingshan anymore. She thought to herself, Did we end up separating?
She was standing in a relatively large cell, equivalent to a spacious hall. It was beautifully decorated just like everywhere else. Several dozen demonfolk either sat or stood around, with a few females among them.
This was probably a nest of demonfolk, and as long as a community existed, there would be a leader.
On the eastern side of the hall, a demonfolk with a head of tumours sat on a platform constructed from white bone. He radiated with a powerful aura as several female demonfolk sat around him.
Clearly, he was the master of this nest, the leader of the demonfolk here, a powerful Demon General.
The moment he saw Xiao An, the Demon General’s eyes shone with undisguised, sunken light. He pushed aside the demonfolk around him and walked down from the platform.

The Dauntless monk became cautious. The world that demonfolk lived in was filled with brutality and slaughter. The cultivation of Demon Generals was only equivalent to Foundation Establishment, but they were much stronger than Foundation Establishment cultivators in battle.
Under the control of their demon hearts, they possessed very few vital points on their bodies. Even disciples of the school of the Military who practised both qi and the body paled in comparison. The inner courtyard disciples of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga would often suffer against them during their trials. As a matter of fact, some of them had even been slain in the past from a moment of carelessness.
He thought, One Will possesses extraordinary talent and a great understanding of the buddhist dharma, but she’s still young after all. She might not necessarily be this Demon General’s opponent.
Within the Demon Suppression Hall, even a Monk King like the Dauntless monk was bound by its rules. He was forced to descend floor by floor too. If Xiao An encountered any danger, he was afraid he could not rescue her in time.
However, life-threatening danger like this provided the best opportunity to observe a person’s disposition. Whether they were courageous or cowardly, calm or fear-stricken, none of their emotions could be hidden.
As a result, he observed patiently. “One Will, don’t leave me disappointed.”
……
“Did you come down from above?” the demonfolk extended his forked tongue and licked around his face as he asked with ill intention.
“I didn’t think the humans would have such a beautiful woman.” A demonfolk drooled.
“Hmph, look at how soft and tender her flesh is. She must taste nice.” The female demonfolk on the throne of white bone snorted coldly, filled with envy.
“That’ll be quite a pity. We’re obviously going to eat her once we’ve had enough fun! Hahaha!”
There was lust, envy, and evil snickers. Xiao An’s expression remained as blank as ever as she was surrounded by the leering demons. She gazed ahead hollowly with her eyes, ignoring everything. She turned around and made her way towards the exit, which made the demons even more complacent.
