Demon Beasts

It was commonly known that, compared to humans, Demon Beasts were able to bring forth strength that was higher than their cultivation by a level.

Beast Core
Demonic beasts that were grade four or above might have beast cores in their skull. But most of the time, the demonic beasts that were killed did not contain any beast cores.

Beast cores were able to quickly increase a cultivator’s mental energy. It showed how enticing beast cores were. However, beast cores cannot be used by everyone. First of all, the consumer’s cultivation must not be any lower than the core’s grade. It also meant that for a grade six beast core, only Foundation Establishment late stage cultivators were able to use it. Otherwise, the consumer would not be able to handle the strong and pure mental energy contained in it.

Secondly, everything in this world was based on the five elements. That was the same for beast core as well. If it did not suit the consumer’s element, the two elements would clash with each other, making it hard for the consumer to fuse them. Of course, it did not mean that if it was a different attribute, the consumer would not be able to use it. It just meant that the failure rate was higher and there might be danger to the consumer’s mental energy, causing them to become an idiot and the chances of them getting Qi deviation was a lot higher.

Therefore, when a cultivator consumed a beast core, they would be very prudent. Increasing mental energy was very important, but the risk was also very high. Thirdly, beast cores were not only used to increase a cultivator’s mental energy, it was also a good ingredient for blacksmithing. Beast cores were unquestionably able to increase an armament’s power. However, it was very complex.

Beast core attributes were very easily differentiated. White meant metal, green is wood, blue is water, red is fire and yellow is earth.
