Demonic Path Skills, fast in cultivation and powerful, of course, also come with serious side effects.
Back then, when Shi Feiyang was novice in his Daoist skills and could exempt himself from the side effects of Demonic Path Skills, he cultivated these techniques due to an urgent need to boost his power.
Later, as time passed, his Mysterious Sect skills were sufficiently advanced to completely overcome any foe, diminishing the evil influence, and he no longer cultivated them.
Whether it be Lifebound Demons or Demon Swords, Demon Treasures, they all required continuous sacrifice of fresh blood and souls, sustained by life itself.
If he earnestly cultivated the Nine Child Mother Sky Demon, along with the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword and the Heavenly Secret Demon God Lamp, all to an extremely high realm, he could still stand a chance against the Red Lotus Demon.
