The Villainous Prince: What's a Protagonist? Can You Eat It?

Just how terrifying is this fantasy world?

Setting aside the gods and demons in the upper realm, even the evil spirits and monsters in the lower realm are overwhelmingly powerful.

Humans either join sects and sacred lands to fight them,

or become subjects of an empire, offering up their fortune in hopes of protecting themselves.

The reason demons and evil spirits are so hard to kill is that their strength comes from demonic power, the most tainted source of power in the world.

Ordinary people die the instant they come into contact with even a little of it.

Cultivators can rely on their techniques to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and stand against demonic power, but only if their strength is evenly matched.

If a weak cultivator encounters an evil spirit, they will only end up as its meal!
