[Talent Marks: 0]
Taking a brief look at all the talents he had collected in the realm that applied to spiritual energy, Yoze felt proud as, before he knew it, he had expanded his collection by a lot. When it came to spiritual body cultivation, no one could match him when it came to talent. He didn\'t believe that even the most talented demons could look him in the eye and confidently say they were better than him.
"If my calculations are correct, then my single most talented category has to be the spiritual category. With the boost alone from having five grade 9 spiritual body cultivation talents being enough to overwhelm the other categories."
Even though Yoze felt proud of himself at this moment, he wasn\'t lying, as he truly was unmatched by anything when it came to spiritual body cultivation talent. This was even more true when he narrowed it down to only demon spiritual body cultivation talent.
His other categories, such as martial arts, physical, and the arts, were his largest categories and gave him enormous boosts. However, due to many of the talents he collected in these categories being below grade 5 and varied in what they covered, their collective boosts were not as high as having a few extremely high-grade and selective talents.
"From getting a boost of 625 times to most things related to spiritual body cultivation. With the new addition of the Slug Spiritual Body Cultivation talent, I should be getting a multiplier of 3,125."
"It completely dwarfs my previous talent. Why was I worried earlier that I would never catch up to those ancient demons and immortals? As long as I keep finding new demons, I will speed will only become more demonic; just one more demon alone will boost my talent to 15,625 times."
As he was celebrating his breakthrough in his spiritual body talent, his body seemed to also be transforming, which caused him to cut his celebration short. Without knowing why, he felt his consciousness being pulled into the black space where the representation of his spiritual energies lives.
Knowing there must have been a reason, he didn\'t resist and quickly found himself surrounded by darkness. Compared to the liveliness from before, where the giant bodies of his demons wandered freely, he saw that it was empty.
Yoze frowned as he looked around his internal space and walked around. Even though the space was filled with darkness, with the presence of his demons no longer creating a thick fog, he could easily locate his human spiritual energy. Just like before, it remained the same size as he had left it before, but there were some differences.
With his increased talent in spiritual body cultivation, he found that it was much easier to guide the few strands of his gray spiritual energy around his body. Just like before, he guided his human spiritual energy through the conflicting spots, which had once again increased in number with the addition of the Slug spiritual energy.
With the new additions, he was easily able to complete a single cycle of his human spiritual energy. Once his human spiritual energy had discovered its pathway, Yoze saw that it immediately left his control and rapidly cycled through his body and consumed and expanded.
Within a split second, it went from being less than ten strands to hundreds. After hundreds of cycles, his spiritual energy reached the same size as his other spiritual energies before slowing down to match the pace of the others. Unlike the other spiritual energies, Yoze noticed that his human spiritual energy was deeply tied to his mind giving him much more control.
"Where is everything else?"
Even though Yoze felt happy now that he could put his plan into action, he couldn\'t help but feel worried about the disappearance of his other spiritual energies. He could still sense that they were in his body, but he didn\'t sense any backlash or conflict.
"No, my body!?"
Yoze quickly snapped his eyes open and immediately sensed the shocking changes to his body. He knew he hadn\'t been gone for long, but he saw that his demon spiritual energies were causing chaos inside his body.
Even though he was reassured that there weren\'t any spiritual energy leaks so he wasn\'t discovered yet. He wasn\'t relieved as he finally understood why they had all disappeared and didn\'t bother to fight each other. They were all trying to remodel his body to become a more suitable demon body.
With five different demon spiritual energies all striving to transform him into different demons, his body was rapidly mutating. His bones, skin, eyes, hair, and flesh went through ten mutations every second.
Sometimes he would grow additional pairs of eyes on his head from the influence of his Slug Spiritual Energy before the other spiritual energies wiped them out. His limbs frequently lost their human form in favor of something that resembled a fusion of a snake, elephant, and leopard before returning to their proper shape.
He even grew different types of fur all over his body that bore no resemblance to any known creature of this world. From the speed that his body was mutating, any other creature would have died within the first few seconds.
But for Yoze, even though the pain from his mutating body was immense, he was never on the verge of dying. Simply because his demon spiritual energies held themselves back in fear that they would cause his death.
So his demon spiritual energies could only compromise with one another and try to find the most optimal form for Yoze to have so that they could get a stronger foundation. With the increasing number of spiritual energies inside Yoze\'s body, they all felt an increasing threat to their survival.
This was even more true when they discovered that Yoze\'s human spiritual energy had grown to the same size as all of them. Not only that, it didn\'t have to bear the cost of birthing the Slug demon\'s spiritual energy, so it was in perfect condition. Paired with the fact that it was the perfect path for a human, they all knew they would be suppressed if they didn\'t do something.
If they could successfully transform Yoze\'s body, they would be able to act as the de facto ruler of his body and dethrone Yoze\'s human spiritual energy as the rightful path. For example, as the oldest demon inside Yoze\'s body, the Serpent demon had long been unsatisfied that it could never dominate its home.
It wanted to transform Yoze into a Serpent demon so that its path would be the perfect match. With its spiritual path matching Yoze\'s body, it could quickly gain the dominant position in Yoze\'s body.
