Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 857: Chapter 432: Fate’s Blessing, Emperor’s Judgment! (Part 2)

It originally thought this was one of its greatest secrets, completely unknown to anyone.

Yet this human cultivator had already seen through it.

This made it feel utterly shocked and terrified.

It let out a thunderous roar, trying to struggle and escape, but found its actions firmly confined by an invisible force.

At this moment, under the guidance of the sword light, the sword mark began to tremble violently, like a lit fuse, instantly detonating the long-accumulated internal injuries of the demon.

Boom~

An invincible sword intent was triggered, as if a peerless Sword Immortal had revived, unleashing terrifying sword intent might, completely detonating within the Soul-Devouring Demon.

Only a sky-shattering roar was heard, and the body of the Soul-Devouring Demon began to fall apart.

First, fine cracks appeared at the sword mark, spreading rapidly across its body like a spider web, and then its body shattered like broken glass.

Countless fragments of flesh and black demonic qi scattered in all directions, and under the illumination of the golden light, the demonic qi emitted a series of hissing noises, quickly dissipating like remnant snow under the scorching sun.

In just an instant, the Soul-Devouring Demon was completely obliterated.

As the Soul-Devouring Demon perished, the heavenly phenomena gradually calmed, the golden light slowly receded, and the painting of rivers and mountains also slowly disappeared. Only Jiang Fan stood firmly in place, the Human Emperor Sword still shining brightly.

He exuded the majesty of the Human Emperor.

”Dead? Is this Soul-Devouring Demon really dead just like that?”

Seeing this scene, the Array Spirit Burial was dumbfounded, hardly believing the scene before its eyes.

In order to seal this demon and prevent it from causing chaos outside, it didn’t know how long it had been working and how much effort it had put in.

It had even prepared for its own sacrifice just now.

No matter the cost, it would not allow this Soul-Devouring Demon to escape.

But now, this human cultivator suddenly appeared, and with a single sword stroke, completely slew the opponent.

The entire body had already turned to dust.

The surrounding vast demonic qi was also dissipating rapidly.

It was as if a long-standing mission had finally come to an end at this moment.

This made it breathe a sigh of relief, yet it also felt a bit lost, feeling that this ending was somewhat too easy.

”It should be dead.”

”But not all the credit is mine.”

”It actually had severe injuries inside its body.”

”If the invincible sword intent inside it hadn’t been detonated, it might not have been possible to kill it.”

Jiang Fan said in a deep voice.

He could feel the terror of that invincible sword intent just now, having contained the power to tear the firmament apart.

Even after countless years, this sword intent showed no signs of fading.

In fact, all his actions just now were merely to detonate this sword intent and the injuries within the opponent.

If he were to truly engage in direct combat with the Soul-Devouring Demon, he certainly wouldn’t be a match.

Estimated within just a few exchanges, he might be killed by this ancient demon and become its food.

But this was unavoidable.

After all, he was currently just a Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul cultivator, whereas the demon’s cultivation had long surpassed the realm imaginable, and he couldn’t possibly be an opponent for this demon.

To strike while the enemy was at its weakest and seize the opportunity to kill it was already a miracle.

If he hadn’t identified the enemy’s weakness, it would have been absolutely impossible to kill it.

”The power of the Human Emperor Sword is indeed closely linked to the destiny of the Human Race.”

”Currently, the destiny of the Primordial Talisman Sect is just so much.”

”But paired with the Human Emperor Sword, it can already unleash a Divinity Transformation strike.”

”If the destiny further surges, the power unleashed could be even more terrifying.”

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes.

He could feel his body brimming with overwhelming power, holding the Human Emperor Sword.

Even after releasing such a terrifying sword, he still didn’t feel too weakened.

On the contrary, he could unleash seven or eight more similar attacks.

All thanks to the augmenting destiny.

Of course, this wasn’t his own power, but borrowed from the power of Heavenly Dao’s destiny.

So this was what it felt like to be shrouded by destiny.

As the destiny surged, the power of being shrouded by destiny might become even more frightening.

Because of this, he absolutely couldn’t allow the Human Race to be weakened by the power of demons.

As if it would weaken his own power.

”After untold years, we’ve finally killed this Soul-Devouring Demon, it’s really great.”

”After waiting for so long, we actually encountered the Child of Destiny of this era.”

”This is our fortune.”

At this moment, another voice rang out.

Appearing before Jiang Fan was a green Wooden Sword, floating in mid-air, its body covered in densely packed mysterious green runes, emitting a faint Sword Aura, as if it was also a Divine Sword.

It looked at Jiang Fan with excitement, speaking in a tone full of emotion.

”And this is?”

Jiang Fan curiously asked.

”Oh, this too is a magical treasure responsible for suppressing the Soul-Devouring Demon—the Divine Wood Sword.”

”Over the many years, it was precisely due to the cooperation between me and the Divine Wood Sword that the Soul-Devouring Demon could never break free.”

”Without the help of the Divine Wood Sword, the opponent might have long escaped from the seal.”

The Array Spirit Burial said with great emotion.

”Since you’ve already killed the Soul-Devouring Demon, our mission is complete.”

”From now on, this Secret Realm World belongs to you.”

”And all the treasures accumulated in this Secret Realm World from ancient times to now, they are all yours.”

”I hope that after inheriting these treasures, you can resolve all the demons in the Void Realm.”

The Divine Wood Sword said solemnly.

”Indeed, for us, these treasures are of little use anymore.”

”Since you obtained the Human Emperor Sword, you are probably the Child of Destiny of this era, embodying the destiny of heaven and earth.”

”If you obtain these treasures, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.”

”Even ascending to Divinity Transformation wouldn’t be a big problem.”

The Array Spirit Burial said with delight.

After all, the many treasures in the treasury were meant to attract cultivators into the Yiling Secret Realm to eliminate the demons of this Secret Realm World, but now that the Soul-Devouring Demon is dead.

This also means that no new demons will ever be born in this Secret Realm World again.

As long as a little time is spent, all the demons in this Secret Realm World can be resolved.

So leaving such a number of treasures didn’t have much meaning, it would be better to hand them over to Jiang Fan.

”Treasures? Where are the treasures?”

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, inquiring.

He thought that perhaps his opportunity this time was in the treasury of the Yiling Secret Realm.

”Oh, it’s at the deepest part of the palace on this island.”

”I’ll lead the way, follow me.”

The Divine Wood Sword said.

Boom~~

At this moment, a message instantly entered into the depths of Jiang Fan’s consciousness sea.

”Remember, demons are extremely cunning and hard to kill. You may think you’ve killed the demon, but they always find another way to survive, and the Soul-Devouring Demon is no exception.

In the Ancient Era, it once suffered a strike from a Sword Immortal, and although it was supposed to die, it survived using a false body, narrowly escaping the Sword Immortal’s grasp. The same holds true now.

On the surface, it seems the Soul-Devouring Demon only recently broke free, but in fact, it quietly split off a soul fragment countless years ago, silently escaping the seal.

It used the power of the Illusion Technique to alter the memory of the Array Spirit Burial, disguising itself as the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Wood Sword, secretly gathering strength. If you believe what it said, you’ll fall into the Soul-Devouring Demon’s trap, leading to your untimely demise.”

”Fate Warning One: You know nothing, and following the Divine Wood Sword into the treasury of the Yiling Secret Realm, you fall into the Soul-Devouring Demon’s trap, get killed, and your soul is utterly devoured, turned into fodder for the demon.”

”Fate Warning Two: You can use the power of the Demon-Vibrating Bell and attack the Divine Wood Sword with the Demon-Vanquishing Power. Although the Soul-Devouring Demon still lives, it merely retains a soul fragment and is in an extremely fragile state. The power of the Demon-Vibrating Bell can easily kill it.

You act suddenly, which utterly surprises the Soul-Devouring Demon. It never expected you to see through its true form. Remember, you only have this one chance. If the Soul-Devouring Demon escapes, it will never appear before you again.

You also won’t be able to trace its trajectory, as it is extremely insidious and cunning, devouring the souls of all living beings in secret. When it reappears, countless lives will perish at its hands.”

Upon receiving this message, Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted, never having expected that the Soul-Devouring Demon was still alive, disguised as the Artifact Spirit of the Divine Wood Sword, even escaping the detection of the Array Spirit Burial.
