Rise of the nefarious devil

1- Reverse cultivation technique

-

Afterward, Carl finally glanced back at his body...

He was wearing a bloodied robe that had the previous color as white, and then his hair too had been bloodied, he then remembered the memories of this body of his...

"I'm 12...But I'm hunted by everyone even in this body and world, seems like the heavens truly hate me huh...

I've already experienced all what a mortal can experience :

Joy when I got up the ranks as an athlete in my first life, Anger when I saw how the world was unfair, always trying to find ways to kill me... Or when that wife of mine in my first life betrayed me...No that wasn't my wife...

I always worry and fear about death in my second life, thinking that the specialty of my soul wouldn't remain as such...

" Lust... I always lusted for power to survive in my past life since without it I wouldn't survive that long... As for women, they're all like men but with a different body structure so why would I fall for something so insignificant? I've already experienced it as many times as I wanted in my past life anyway... The sensual pleasures, only fools would fall for that, well I was a fool on my first life as my enemy successfully fooled me with them...

Fool me once, I'm a fool, fool me twice, I'm gonna kill you, there's nothing after that. Killing is the only way of survival.

As for my dignity... It's already been trampled upon, as one either has to be the best and feel their pride high up the sky, or be the worst that even the worst trash would laugh at you...

Life & Death being good and bad? What is good and bad? Who gets to decide anyway? It's all decided by the heavens, deeply engraved on the mortals' souls what should be good or bad according to them; well, the moment killing is allowed, whether doing something beyond killing is good or bad, nobody knows except what their thinking says...

Now, I'm going against the heavens in this life, in the next one, and the one after that! It doesn't matter how many times I die!

And now that I have this artifact linked to my soul, I shall always go against the heavens!"

Carl then started circulating the Devilish death Qi in his body as he started going in a particular way to reach the nearby town - to advance his strength, as it required for him to do large blood sacrificial arrays to advance...

While he couldn't use mortals to advance to higher realms, his cultivation was still in the mortal realm, so sacrificing a whole town worth of blood, flesh, and then their cries of anguish would be tempered to a great extent as a trade made by the array - since the array absorbs their souls.

He then went towards the town, but first, he needed to compile a few pieces of feathers and stones, the feather is to write the special words of the inscriptions on the stones, then place them around the town to start the blood sacrifice start the array...

While he indeed had information in his past life about such methods to refine, it never had such trades where it tempered the blood and flesh of others for their souls.

It was from the artifact's inheritance where he got the information about such arrays and many more similar arrays, that would convert the bodies into Devilish Death Qi and also new cultivation realms that were vastly different from the ones he used to cultivate before, as when he previously cultivated by going heaven's way, although fiendish but the realms were the same, they were :

- Mortal: All mortals are in this level, as the mortals' lives were short, so they didn't truly care about anything other than spending their time with their loved ones for as long as possible, also there is early, middle, late and peak realm in terms of strength.

-Qi refinement: This stage is for those who have just started cultivation, so while they are indeed considered cultivators, they only use Qi in order to fully refine their bodies...

- Golden Core formation: It uses all the refined Qi in the whole body and puts it into a golden core in the center of the dantian.

-Foundation establishment: Makes the golden core in the middle of a building, that gets strengthened in the later stages...

-Nascent soul: It makes the soul go from the 3 stages ( infant, teen, adult ) until it reaches the previous body's looks, but the soul firstly breaks the whole building along with the golden core as it contains all the refined Qi.

- King level: It builds a golden crown around with gems that are made of purity, the purer the gems in the crown the fiercer his foundation is.

- Emperor level builds a refined empire's castle in the dantian that holds back the new energy - celestial Qi...

- Immortal transcendence: Transcending the heavenly tribulation to ascend to the immortal plane.

That is what Carl could remember, as he was still at the emperor level in terms of strength in his previous life.

But the realms he could now have access to or cultivate are vastly different from what he remembered from the past as the current world was the same as his second past life which was done so by the artifact - as it required him to cultivate many more realms.

The current realms that he'd got in the inheritance, had been altered slightly, as it said, in the beginning, Devilish Qi, but then changed to Devilish death qi for some reason...

- Devilish Death Qi condensation on Feeling the Qi in the air and transforming it into devilish death qi that flows through the body, though he has to kill over 1,000 people to get the demonic death qi converted from their blood...

- Body refinement: Refines the body with the blood of the people killed, as when Carl absorbs the blood of the body that was filled with resentment, despair, and other 'bad' emotions that humans tend to leave in their death, he gets far purer and denser blood and flesh that tempers his body.

- Blood refinement: refines the blood of Carl with more and more bodies, as it requires him to eat the flesh of 100 children and drink their blood to have rich blood that would make his bloodline purer for future realms purposes.

- Foundation hall: uses the flesh and blood of 500 children, along with 1,000 pregnant women to create a foundation that spreads throughout the whole body, as the dantian then expands to its size - making it the same size as the foundation.

-

He got a cultivation technique -- Reverse cultivation, that had two branches, the first one uses the Qi in the air, or whatever heavens gives cultivators to cultivate to higher realms, to turn it to devilish death qi threads, it is also the main cultivation technique Carl uses, as the second branch allows him to cultivate from the blood of others and advance at the realms.

The information stopped there, which showed that he can't following the same cultivation path as heaven's.

He also got to know that only due to him having a bit of the nefarious devil's bloodline could he successfully fuse the artifact with his soul , which in turn started the inheritance from it..
