Stages of Demonic Cultivation – The Path of the Demon God
Mo Wuyuan's cultivation is vastly different from the righteous sects. Unlike traditional cultivators who rely on spiritual qi and enlightenment, demonic cultivators must absorb demonic qi, but that alone is not enough.
To advance, a demonic cultivator must also take lives, devouring the essence of fallen enemies to feed the demonic energy inside them. The stronger the foe, the greater the power gained. Massacres, blood rituals, and devouring the souls of powerful beings are all necessary steps to ascend.
