Looting the life force of demons to forge a golden body Martial God-Chapter 267 - 255: Forbidden Techniques and Forbidden Spells! The Sinister and Malicious Demon Clan, A Mixture of the Genuine and the Fake! (3/3)

Chapter 267: Chapter 255: Forbidden Techniques and Forbidden Spells! The Sinister and Malicious Demon Clan, A Mixture of the Genuine and the Fake! (3/3)

Chu Feng, as instructed, sat down in front of the information terminal and briefly perused the catalog of books.

What amazed him was that the Demon Extermination Army was indeed wealthy and robust; the variety and quantity of books were simply too rich.

There were no fewer than a thousand types of Human Rank Martial Arts, several hundred types of Earth Rank Martial Arts, and over fifty Heaven Rank Martial Arts.

However, Magic seemed to be much less in comparison, with the count of Human Rank Magic just exceeding five hundred, Earth Rank at over eighty, and, pitifully, only three for Heaven Rank!

Zheng Bo noticed his gaze and chuckled, "When it comes to Magic, you’ll have to look to the Demon Annihilation Army; they’ve accumulated greater strengths in this area.

"For our Demon Extermination Army, having magic is nice, but it’s merely the icing on the cake," he said.

Chu Feng nodded in understanding.

The information terminal also displayed that many Martial Techniques were not in stock and needed to be transferred from other warehouses or defense lines.

Zheng Bo explained, "This information terminal is connected to the main repository of our Demon Extermination Army’s Martial Technique collection, allowing you to browse all levels and types of Martial Techniques.

"Unlike the exchange windows outside, it doesn’t passively filter based on the user’s realm and authority.

"Commander Lin allowed you to come here to remove all restrictions for you so that you can freely choose."

"Thanks to Commander Lin, Commander Lin is really generous!" Chu Feng exclaimed.

Zheng Bo nodded, and with a smile said, "Let me introduce them to you.

"Martial Techniques are roughly divided into three categories. The first type is ordinary Martial Techniques, which are what we practice daily and the type most commonly used in battle.

"The second type is Ultimate Skills. Commander Lin mentioned that your goal for this trip is to exchange for one of these Ultimate Skills.

"The third type..." Zheng Bo’s expression became slightly more solemn, "is known as Forbidden Techniques! I strongly discourage you from delving into them!"

"Forbidden Techniques? What are they forbidden by?" Chu Feng asked curiously.

"Forbidden Techniques are a type of Martial Technique that is secretly banned by the Longhua District, including ’Forbidden Spells’ in the Cultivation Techniques," Zheng Bo explained in detail. "These kinds of martial arts usually have three characteristics.

"The first characteristic is that they come at a great cost, with no regard for primary and secondary concerns!

"To give you the simplest example, you know about the so-called death warriors in novels, right? The act of turning living people into unfeeling killing machines, or destroying organs to create specialized martial artists, are all considered Forbidden Spells.

"Even cultivation techniques that suppress bone growth from a young age, like the Shrinking Bone Technique, also fall into this category.

"For us martial artists, the physical body is the most precious treasure.

"The mysteries within the human body are endless and inexhaustible, even demi-gods at the Dharma Aspect Realm cannot claim to have fully explored all the potential of their bodies!

"These Forbidden Spells either require a practitioner to be twisted from a young age through cruel and painful methods, transforming what the cultivator considers into some kind of special cripple to meet the demands of martial arts!

"Or it involves illegal modifications later in life to forcefully adapt to martial arts!

"Such behavior is not only short-sighted and akin to quenching thirst by drinking poison but also completely destroys the body, cutting off the bright path one should have!

"While we don’t go around like the demon heads of the Ocean Continent who have fried their brains with demon cultivation, incessantly babbling about humanity-centric principles and the like.

"But such actions that disable the body for the sake of learning martial arts are also absolutely forbidden, and the government will crackdown harshly on those who induce or force others to practice Forbidden Spells and Techniques!"

"..."

Chu Feng nodded solemnly to show he understood.

If such cultivation techniques were widespread in the world, it was undeniable that ordinary people with outstanding talents would become expendables for those in power. Some might be bought willingly, or others might be forced to become killing tools for someone.

And those powerful, wealthy elites could stay out of it entirely.

They siphoned the blood of those from the lower classes, attired in elegant tailcoats and holding expensive red wine, stood atop skyscrapers, watching their faithful servants tear at each other like wild beasts, maiming limb and flesh.

This was a horrifying scene that only appeared in the darkest periods of a dying dynasty!

...

Zheng Bo continued, "The second characteristic is that it aims only at human vulnerabilities, in other words, methods of killing!

"Such forbidden techniques are extreme, not targeting demons but delving deeply into human physical weaknesses, using all means possible to target human brethren.

"Once widely disseminated, it will completely destroy the trust between humans, and the impact is very bad, so it is also listed as forbidden, prohibiting ordinary people from studying or practicing them."

Chu Feng noticed his choice of words and asked, "Prohibit ordinary people?"

Zheng Bo smiled, "Law enforcement departments, Traitor-Purging Teams, and other authorized special units can practice, but they are also under strict control. The government has issued various measures to prevent these kinds of forbidden techniques from leaking and being abused."

Chu Feng understood, this was like the firearms on Earth in his previous life, forbidden for ordinary people to possess, and there was no need for them to have them.

The saying goes, ’With a weapon in hand, the intent to kill arises.’ Once possessed, they could cause many irreparable tragedies in a moment of impulse.

Only when control is held by law enforcement and violent departments under strict regulation, can the safety of ordinary people’s lives be best ensured.

As for a deeper level, preventing tyranny and such... Chu Feng immediately dismissed such thoughts from his mind.

These matters, do not even think about them!

The River Crab Divine Beast is watching you!

...

Zheng Bo thought for a moment and then added, "There are also some forbidden spells that come at a great cost, with extremely cruel training processes, but indeed the effects are remarkably effective!

"There are always fools who do not understand, a martial artist’s body is the most precious treasure. They are lured by slight advantages and modify themselves until they are neither human nor ghost.

"Even those lunatics from the Demon Cult, in order to learn from the Demon Realm and to lead astray the martial arts of the Human Race, they deliberately spread forbidden spells, transplanting the organs and flesh of the Demon Clan into their own bodies!"

Chu Feng’s expression changed upon hearing this, "The Demon Cult is so sinister? They would even spread misleading cultivation techniques!"

Zheng Bo nodded, "The craftiness and viciousness of the Demon Clan is manifested in many ways, and the deliberate spreading of forbidden spells is one of them.

"By controlling the Evil Cults, the Demon Clan has drawn many scum of the Human Race and acquired many cultivation techniques.

"The Demon Clan’s scholars heavily modify our techniques, and then they put them onto the Blue Star black market through the channels of the Evil Cults, spreading rumors like ’the government will control the lives of the ordinary people through cultivation techniques and monitor all their actions.’

"Every year, there are many fools who are hostile to the government. They do not practice the free, safe techniques provided, but instead buy so-called ’secret techniques’ from the black market and fall into the trap.

"Because those techniques don’t seem to have anything wrong with them at first glance, and many of them even enable practitioners to progress faster than our techniques.

"But all of this comes at a price!

"Once someone practices the martial arts techniques modified by the Demon Clan, they will be in countless ways vulnerable to manipulation and control by the Demon Clan, coerced and tempted to become their agents hidden deep within our society.

"Moreover, some techniques even involve transforming spiritual power, using suggestion, inducement, and hypnosis to alter the cultivator’s way of thinking, making them wholeheartedly believe in and worship the Demon Clan, even willing to die for them!"

Chu Feng felt a cold draft rising up from within, chilling him to the crown of his head.

Dammit, these demons are too crafty!

To even use contamination of the database as a way to dig at the roots of the Human Race!

A bunch of bastards born without assholes!
