Immortality Martial Arts: I Started with the Five Animals Health Fist

Chapter 257: Chapter 115 Forbidden Treasure! Demon Monster Crystal Core!_1

At these words, Su Changkong abruptly halted, a faint murderous intent apparent in his eyes.

The bull-headed mask man felt the room’s temperature plummet as if he himself had become the target of a ferocious beast!

In his heart, the bull-headed mask man was startled. He was also a Martial Artist of no mean skill, but in front of this ape-faced mask man, he had the illusion of being faced with a ferocious beast, as if he could be devoured whole with just an open mouth!

“No one else is here, no one else can hear, let’s talk this through, okay?”

The bull-headed mask man caught himself and quickly gestured with his hands.

Su Changkong gradually calmed down, knowing there was no third person in the courtyard.

Su Changkong resumed his seat, his eyes fixed on the bull-headed mask man before him, and slowly said, “How am I to know if what you say is true or false?”

The bull-headed mask man clearly knew a lot about the Demon Monsters, otherwise, he would not have guessed what Su Changkong really wanted to know about the Demon Artifacts just because Su Changkong wanted to buy information related to the Demon Monsters.

Clearing his throat, the bull-headed mask man said, “I never lie… Besides, it’s only some information; there’s no loss for me to share it with a second person.”

For the bull-headed mask man, sharing information about the Demon Monsters indeed entailed no loss.

“In this world, Demon Monsters have existed since ancient times. Their numbers are scarce. As for their origins and how they came to be, few know. What can be confirmed is that these Demon Monsters are higher beings by nature, inherently very powerful, and their lifespans are much longer than those of the human race!”

The bull-headed mask man, to demonstrate his sincerity, took the initiative to speak about the Demon Monsters. Su Changkong listened quietly.

“Each of these Demon Monsters is very powerful, with Immortal Bodies. Unless one has the power to crush them completely and kill them repeatedly, only then can they be utterly eradicated!”

The bull-headed mask man narrated, which also matched the intelligence Su Changkong had.

When facing the Demon Monster Feng Mo, the creature had an Immortal Body. Even decapitation wasn’t enough; the severed head could be reattached. It was only because of Su Changkong’s use of the Impregnable Blade Qi, repeatedly cutting and chopping the creature into mincemeat, that he successfully killed it!

If the combat strength difference is negligible, then it’s nearly impossible for humans to defeat the Demon Monsters, not to mention their Immortal Bodies. In addition, the Demon Monsters possess bizarre Demon Arts.

“Demon Monsters vary in strength. To the best of my knowledge, Demon Monsters are divided into lower, middle, and upper tiers. Lower-tier Demon Monsters commonly possess one Demon Art and have weaker Immortal Bodies, thus can be killed. Middle-tier Demon Monsters control more than one Demon Art and are almost invulnerable to ordinary weapons. As for the upper-tier Demon Monsters… they are so powerful that even top fighters despair!”

The bull-headed mask man indeed knew far more than Su Changkong about the tier system of the Demon Monsters and shared this information with him.

“Then Feng Mo must just be a lower-tier Demon Monster,” Su Changkong thought to himself. The Demon Monster Feng Mo he killed was merely a lower-tier one, yet it caused the entire Ink Forest Prefecture City to live in fear, struggling to exterminate it!

“Rumors say that above the upper-tier Demon Monsters, there exist even more terrifying ones, known as the King-level Demon Monsters. They are the true kings among the Demon Monsters! These creatures possess truly Immortal Bodies. Except by the passage of time, there is almost no way to kill them! Each one is a disaster in itself, and their emergence would certainly provoke unimaginable calamities!”

Fear tinged the bull-headed mask man’s tone.

“King-level Demon Monsters… truly Immortal Bodies? Only to be killed by the passage of time?” Su Changkong shivered at the thought. What kind of horrifying creatures were these? Almost truly immortal, only fated to die as time goes by.

“But… even such fearsome Demon Monsters can’t achieve immortality?” This revelation stunned Su Changkong, and he also felt a heavy sense of gravity.

King-level Demon Monsters, almost impossible to kill by any means, but still subject to demise by time and age! And he, a mere mortal, could he ever reach a level even more terrifying than the King-level Demon Monsters, achieving true immortality?

However, Su Changkong didn’t dwell on this too much. That level was still far beyond his reach; he would take things one step at a time. Worrying too much only leads to self-trouble.

The bull-headed mask man continued, “These Demon Monsters are very dangerous, but correspondingly, many powerful beings are eager to hunt them, simply because killing a Demon Monster can yield immense rewards.”

“Is it the Demon Monster Crystal Core…” Su Changkong also guessed why, despite the horror and danger the Demon Monsters posed, Martial Artists hunted them. It was because of the Demon Monster Crystal Cores, treasures that even the strongest fighters and noble family descendants dream of.

Indeed, the bull-headed mask man said, “Inside each Demon Monster is a core of power known as the Demon Monster Crystal Core. It has vast uses! For noble family descendants, it is a gem that can strengthen one’s own bloodline. For royals and nobles, it is a Spirit Pill that can extend life! And for Martial Artists, it can enhance Cultivation, and even in Forging weapons and armor, it can be used to create Divine Weapons!”

“It can extend lifespan?”

Su Changkong’s eyes lit up.

Lifespan, something everyone wants more of; nobody thinks they live too long!

Living long means having more time, more possibilities. Even a pig, if it could live for centuries, could become a Pig Monster!

One of the major functions of the Demon Monster Crystal Core is to extend lifespan!

For those whose lifespans are at their limit, obtaining a Demon Monster Crystal Core might allow them to live for many more years.
