The Limitless Devil Sect was originally a second-rate sect of the demonic path. On the Tianxuan Continent, there are thousands upon thousands of sects cultivating the Dao or the demonic arts, and second-rate sects are virtually unknown to the world. But with the arrival of Brian Carter, both righteous and demonic sects across the land came to remember the name of the Limitless Devil Sect, this near third-rate minor demonic sect! The title of Limitless Devil Lord was also bestowed upon Brian Carter. Brian Carter became the first person in five thousand years of the Limitless Devil Sect to receive such a title!
The demonic path is renowned for its rapid cultivation speed, but the cultivation method of the Limitless Devil Art is not only considered extremely slow by demonic cultivators—even slower than the methods of Daoist cultivators—and its power is not apparent at all. Even most disciples of the Limitless Devil Sect themselves have switched to other techniques. Yet Brian Carter increased the cultivation speed of the Limitless Devil Art by more than a hundredfold, and rose in the demonic path like a dazzling comet.
Brian Carter is ruthless and merciless, cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, daring beyond measure, yet also resolute, meticulous, and cunning as a fox—truly an excellent candidate for cultivating the demonic arts!
Chapter 001: Deep in the Dense Forest
In one hour, night would fall completely. In the height of summer, every inch of the forest floor was baked by the scorching sun, as if it might melt.
Brian Carter continued deeper into the forest. Legend had it that no hunter had ever reached the end of this forest, and that gods and ghosts lurked in its depths. No matter how clever or strong a hunter was, none could truly conquer this forest.
When Brian Carter was very young, he often heard the village elders say that if you misbehaved or did bad things, you would be sent to the Blackwind Forest.
Blackwind Forest was the name the villagers gave to this place. Everything here grew larger than elsewhere—animals and plants alike.
Towering trees with lush branches blocked out the sky. In the depths of the forest, cold winds blew all year round, a deathly stillness pervaded, and even the chirping of insects was much fainter than in other places!
After Brian Carter grew up, he no longer believed the elders’ tales, nor did he think there were any gods or ghosts in the forest’s depths.
But he did believe there was something mysterious about this forest, and was certain that one day he would fully conquer it. This was the dream of every hunter in Shanhé Village.
Yet this forest had never given any hunter the chance to fulfill that dream!
It was like a monster crouched here, jaws wide open, constantly devouring the very best hunters one after another!
Brian Carter was found in the forest by the old hunter Jason Bolton. Jason Bolton had just hunted a few muntjacs and was about to return to the village when he discovered the infant Brian Carter on the path. In a simple bamboo basket, Brian Carter neither cried nor fussed, but stared at Jason Bolton with bright black eyes.
The basket seemed hastily woven, with bamboo tips left untrimmed. Jason Bolton, afraid the sharp ends would poke the baby, hesitated only a moment before picking him up. The baby was wrapped in a bright red bellyband, and a piece of jade hung around his neck, carved with the name Brian Carter.
Jason Bolton thought Brian Carter’s parents must be nearby and had just stepped away, so he waited there with Brian Carter for them to return. But as night fell, not a soul appeared.
So Jason Bolton took Brian Carter home. For the next few days, Jason Bolton brought Brian Carter back to the same spot each morning to wait for his parents, but they never came. In the end, Jason Bolton adopted him, called him Brian Carter after the name on the jade, and taught him hunting skills—until, when Brian Carter was thirteen, Jason Bolton was killed by a tiger in the forest.
Children in the mountains mature early. From a young age, Brian Carter followed Jason Bolton hunting in the forest. In hunting, Brian Carter showed astonishing talent—clever, resilient, brave, and calm. He seemed born with all the qualities of a hunter. His mastery of hunting skills far surpassed his peers, and all the hunters in the village believed that when Brian Carter grew up, he would be the best hunter in Shanhé Village.
Two years ago, when Brian Carter returned to the village carrying a tiger on his back, he proved it to everyone. Nearly 1.9 meters tall, every muscle on his body was packed with explosive power. In both speed and strength, no one in the village could match him.
With thick eyebrows, large eyes, and a square face with sharp features, though only eighteen, he was already the embodiment of masculine vigor!
Brian Carter could no longer remember how many times he had come here. This area was already far from the village; if he didn’t turn back now, he wouldn’t make it home today. Beyond this point, the forest was completely unfamiliar to him—this was the most legendary, and also the most dangerous and mysterious, part of Blackwind Forest.
Many times before, he had stopped his exploration here. On one hand, he felt he had not yet become the best hunter in Shanhé Village and was not ready. On the other, he still had attachments in his heart, feeling he had not fully repaid the villagers for raising him.
But now, neither of these reasons could hold him back. With every dangerous tiger he hunted, Brian Carter felt there was nothing left in the forest that could threaten him. Moreover, through his tireless hunting, he had exchanged mountains of game for enough silver to greatly improve the villagers’ lives in recent years—they no longer had to worry about making a living.
