Chapter 258: Forbidden Treasure! Demon Monster Crystal Core!_2

Not just that, when crafting weapons and armor, by incorporating Demon Monster Crystal Cores, one is able to forge Transcendent Divine weapons.

Even enhancing one’s cultivation, or strengthening a noble family disciple’s bloodline, is merely one among many of its uses!

No wonder Mu Jin would provoke trouble everywhere, determined to find those who killed Feng Mo to seize their Demon Monster Crystal Cores, all because they are incredibly precious. As a noble family disciple, he could use the Demon Monster Crystal Cores to strengthen his unique bloodline, achieving metamorphosis!

Even Su Changkong was surprised that the man with the bullhead mask was so willing to share so much information about Demon Monsters with him, even going so far as to tell him the functions of the Demon Monster Crystal Cores directly. This indicated that the most crucial part was yet to be revealed.

Even after sharing such intelligence with Su Changkong, the man with the bullhead mask held more important information as bargaining chips for trade.

Indeed, the man with the bullhead mask said somberly, “The Demon Monster Crystal Core has many uses and can indeed be considered a true treasure but why does the Great Flame Empire insist on suppressing news related to it? Simply because it is extremely dangerous!”

“Very dangerous?” Su Changkong knew there had to be more to it!

“The simplest and most direct method to exert the maximum power of a Demon Monster Crystal Core is by embedding it directly into one’s heart! This can grant an ordinary Martial Artist the abilities of a Demon Monster within a short period, an Immortal Body… and even the mastery of unique Demon Arts!”

These words from the man with the bullhead mask startled Su Changkong.

A Demon Monster Crystal Core embedded in the heart of a Human Warrior could grant a warrior the capabilities of a Demon Monster!

“Of course, this is also the riskiest method. If one cannot withstand the power of the Demon Monster Crystal Core, the warrior would die instantly, and even if one can bear it, they would be influenced by the power of Demon Monsters, undergoing a significant shift in temperament, or even a transformation of the body towards demonification. It wouldn’t be too much to say it’s the birth of a new Demon Monster. That’s also why the official records obscure the information related to Demon Monsters.”

The man with the bullhead mask knew much and thus revealed the terrifying aspects of the Demon Monster Crystal Core to Su Changkong.

A single Demon Monster Crystal Core could completely create a new Demon Monster! It could cause a Martial Artist to transform into a Demon Monster!

Imagine if a Martial Artist who was already very strong gained the powers of a Demon Monster; how horrifying that would be? They could even surpass a true Demon Monster in strength!

Embedding a Demon Monster Crystal Core into the heart, to merge it with oneself, comes at the cost of mental influence and the body beginning to demonify, becoming something no longer human, making most unwilling to proceed in this manner.

“In this world… there must be quite a few warriors who would choose to fuse the Demon Monster Crystal Core into themselves.”

Su Changkong thought to himself that merging a Demon Monster Crystal Core with oneself comes with a high price, but the benefits were also significant!

Just consider, an aging Martial Artist, nearing the end of their life, but by merging with a Demon Monster Crystal Core, they could be reborn instantly, even undergoing a complete metaphysical transformation, gaining a longer lifespan and stronger powers—how many could resist that?

Perhaps many Demon Monsters… were originally members of the human race.

This is also one of the main reasons why the Great Flame Empire seals away the information related to Demon Monsters.

Of course, most people would never encounter a Demon Monster in their lifetime, let alone slay one to acquire its Crystal Core; it’s not something an ordinary person can do, as even the weakest minor Demon Monster can challenge an entire region.

“No wonder… every time I come into contact with a Demon Monster Crystal Core, my heart resonates with it involuntarily.” Su Changkong finally understood why he felt strange sensations when touching the Demon Monster Crystal Core, because this was the most effective method of utilizing it!

Naturally, Su Changkong would not choose this method; first, because there’s a risk of failure, which means death!

Second, even if successful, the cost is too great. One’s temperament would be affected, and even the body would begin to demonify—could such a transformed being still be considered oneself? ṙ𝐚ɴΟBÈꞨ

What Su Changkong wanted was immortality, not an endless life in a state of being neither human nor ghost, having changed species!

Therefore, even if merging with the Demon Monster Crystal Core is the simplest way to maximize its utility, Su Changkong would never do that.

“There are prerequisites for using the Demon Monster Crystal Core in other ways, aren’t there?”

Su Changkong then asked.

It is difficult for ordinary people to use a Demon Monster Crystal Core directly; to have it exhibit its other uses would probably require certain conditions.

The man with the bullhead mask nodded honestly, “That’s correct… To extend one’s life, strengthen the bloodline, or increase cultivation, it cannot be used directly. Generally, it’s combined with other items. For example, to concoct it into Pill Medicine!”

“Indeed…”

Su Changkong had already guessed this, and the man’s words confirmed his suspicion.

It’s tough to refine a Demon Monster Crystal Core directly, and one of the most effective ways is to concoct it into Pill Medicine!

“And the Pill Recipe that uses the Demon Monster Crystal Core is extremely precious; only a few noble families possess it. I have one such Pill Recipe. This recipe uses the Demon Monster Crystal Core as the main ingredient to produce Pill Medicine that enhances cultivation.”

The man with the bullhead mask said so much and eventually revealed this.

The previous information was effectively given free to Su Changkong. Even though Su Changkong now knew about it and understood the functions of the Demon Monster Crystal Core, knowing it without the means to unleash its power was of no practical use.

If Su Changkong still refused to trade, the man with the bullhead mask would only have parted with some information, incurring no actual loss.
