Devil Seeds

After the boy completed his task of killing everyone in the village and absorbing all of the surrounding disease caused by the rotting bodies around him, the woman appeared by his side and smiled. "It is time to leave, we have much to do."

For the next couple of weeks they visited many different locations where death and disease had spread the most to cultivate the boy even more.

It did not matter whether they were contiguous through bodily fluids, air, touch or lingered on the surface of an item or place, the woman seemed to have a keen sense to detect such things and brought the boy to contract each kind of disease that she could find and made him overcome it with his own power.

He was constantly broken down, climbing back up and slowly letting the disease take root in his body and qi.

He was transforming slowly into another dangerous being that was not human but instead was a walking calamity just like the woman that called herself Pestilence.

There are may types of evil martial arts, sacrificial arts, devil or demonic martial arts within the Devil Sect and all of their members practice such martial arts becoming cruel and irritable.

The world is ruled by ideals of the strong, the strongest of the Central Lands continue to have those ideals clash against each other time and time again until there is a winner resulting in a change of the world's system and rules being established.

The Devil Sect are primarily made from those who have experienced great despair and are willing to sacrifice anything to achieve their own goals and being down the other powers.

They become cruel individuals who have become irritable, no longer have compassion for others, resort to any tricks and acts of cruelty to survive or defeat their opponents and have transformed their bodies or reduced their health and lifespan so that they could grow stronger very quickly.

Some among them have taken on the role as a walking calamity and practice a deadly martial art that can cause a large spread of death and destruction just like Pestilence but they each have their own ways to inflict death upon others whether it be inspired by the seven deadly sins or some form of dangerous calamitous element or natural disaster.

Many high ranking individuals can even sense the despair and negative feelings of others weaker than themselves depending on the martial arts that they practice so they are able to locate many like themselves during times like the flood or where there is the most human suffering.

Whether it is an earthquake, flood, wildfire, drought or sickness; they would use this chance where human suffering was at its peak and begin cultivating new seeds of despair.

Even human experimentation and the spread of a living corpse outbreak was something that they were capable of doing in order to gain more strength or weaken their enemies.

So long as it did not harm themselves, they would cause great harm to many innocents who would be caught up in the war between the top powers of the Central Lands.

However for such a group, all they could do was bring death and destruction to others and if they became the new ruler at the top of all of the world, all they would achieve would be to break the stability and rules of the world and create a world that was even more cruel to the weak and helpless.

They had fallen too far in their pursuit of power to be able to think past their original goals and how it would affect the world or they just no longer cared because most of their negative feelings and desires were enhanced while the good in them was being suppressed and removed by their own martial arts.

In forests, mountains, small villages, towns and outside cities or inside where the despair was gathered and the most attractive, they continued to search for suitable people to carry on their will.

A sick boy was just the beginning.

In another location within the mountains there were many strong looking men gathered around the fire but in the background there were cries, whimpers and panting not too far away within a nearby tent.
