"The so-called natural disasters and man-made calamities often arise out of nowhere, without any warning signs.
One unique disaster to this realm, the 'Cultivator Mutation', is no exception.
And mutations, too, vary in type, with the resulting destructive powers being by no means uniform.
Mostly, they involve the burst of Source Qi within the cultivator's body breaking through constraints, causing the cultivator to transform from a thinking, rational member of the Human Clan into a monster driven solely by destruction and slaughter.
A cultivator post-mutation will see a drastic increase in combat strength, and before falling dead, they will tirelessly kill indiscriminately any life in their vicinity.
This is why whenever a cultivator mutates, those fellow Daoists nearby will try to save them if possible; if not, they will strike them down without hesitation.
And among the Evil Path, it is even more the case of the latter.
