Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1195 - 578: Large Life Source Stone Ore Vein, Angling the Demon Nest (Part 2)

Dong dong dong!!!

The next second, these black tendrils arrived instantly, disregarding any actions or defenses of the Celestial Roc Race cultivators, piercing through their demon bodies just like that.

Their once powerful demon bodies seemed as fragile as tofu before these black tendrils.

In just a flash, the various Celestial Roc Race cultivators who came to the Piaomiao Mountain Range, including those at the Void Refining level, were easily pierced through by the black tendrils, pinned and killed in mid-air.

Immediately after, the black tendrils continuously devoured the essence blood and souls within the Celestial Roc Race cultivators, resembling wriggling pipes, quickly turning these demon race cultivators into dried corpses, becoming ashes.

”A pretty good taste.”

”After sleeping for so many years, finally able to have a hearty meal.”

Deep inside the ore vein, a giant black demon egg throbbed like a heart, and the black tendrils earlier were birthed from it, enhancing its power after devouring a vast amount of essence blood and souls from demon cultivators.

It was just like a long drought meeting sweet rain.

It now felt incredibly excited and joyful, a sense of newfound life emerged.

After all, during the Ancient Era, its timing was wrong, too many powerful beings in the Void Realm.

Once discovered, it would be instantly annihilated by those great powers, with no remains left.

To save itself, it had to immediately go into a dormant state, waiting for another chance to revive.

But who could have imagined, this period of sleep lasted several billion years.

That truly was terrifying.

Because even a demon nest couldn’t sleep indefinitely.

If it didn’t awaken after a certain period, its internal essence would completely deplete.

In that scenario, it would be truly dead.

Luckily its fortune wasn’t too bad, as its internal essence nearly depleted, it finally began to revive.

And just as it started to wake up, unexpectedly encountering a group of capable demon cultivators coming to die.

This managed to resolve its urgent crisis, allowing it to recover a small portion of strength.

”Since I’ve revived in this era, I shall completely dominate the Void Realm.”

”But I still need to devour more creatures to connect to other worlds’ demon nests.”

The black demon egg contemplated its next plan.

Although it was a demon nest, it hadn’t recovered much power yet; to activate transmission functions, it needed to get stronger.

Achieving this was simple, just devour large amounts of blood and souls.

Devouring a third of the Western Continent’s creatures would be entirely sufficient.

Given its strength, achieving this would be the easiest thing imaginable.

”In this era’s Void Realm, many great powers have long vanished without a trace.”

”The strongest beings are merely at the Void Refining level.”

”This means, no one in this era’s Void Realm can stop me anymore.”

The black demon egg felt quite proud.

The decision to hide in sleep the moment it arrived at the Void Realm was quite correct.

It was this decision that allowed it to survive till today, billions of years later.

Other demon nests weren’t this smart, they were wiped out by Ancient Era’s Void Realm great powers.

Very few demon nests survived.

It sensed other companions mostly remained in sleep, scattered across corners of the Void Realm, it’s unknown when they’d revive.

”Wait, are there more fools coming to die?”

”And it’s a human Void Refining cultivator?!”

”Looks like this human Void Refining’s blood qi is incredibly thick.”

”Devouring this guy equals devouring dozens at the same Void Refining level.”

”My luck is truly excellent.”

At that moment, the black demon egg sensed a human Void Refining figure suddenly appeared in the Piaomiao Mountain Range, seemingly arriving through instant teleportation.

Yet, how the opponent got here didn’t concern it.

After all, no matter how strong this human was, merely at the Void Refining level, surely not its match.

Moreover, it was concealed while the opponent remained visible.

In a situation where the concealed predates the visible, this human Void Refining cultivator couldn’t possibly match it.

This human was essentially offering itself as food, even heavens seemed to assist it, it was truly great.

In an instant, it gathered all its aura, concealing deep within the ore vein, fearing its aura might scare away the human cultivator.

Otherwise, finding such premium food would be unknown by when.

......

The newcomer was naturally Jiang Fan.

Upon receiving destiny guidance, he immediately activated the Gate of the Void, returning once more to the Western Continent.

Then, flying all the way, he arrived at the Celestial Roc Race’s Piaomiao Mountain Range.

”Indeed, it’s a large Life Source Stone ore vein.”

Standing mid-air, Jiang Fan’s consciousness spread out, instantly sensing a hidden enormous ore vein deep within the Piaomiao Mountain Range, alongside rich life essence.

Above the Piaomiao Mountain Range gathered multicolored clouds, covering tens of thousands of kilometers.

Due to these celestial phenomena, nearby cultivators took notice.

”Master, I sense demonic qi permeating this place.”

”Although faint, typical cultivators can’t discern it.”

”To me, it’s overwhelmingly clear, simply revolting.”

The Demon-Vibrating Bell suddenly spoke, its tone quite serious, detecting something amiss in the Piaomiao Mountain Range.

”This place indeed feels eerie, overly silent.”

”It’s like all living creatures here are extinguished, what exactly happened?”

The Primordial Talisman Pen also agreed.

It felt the Piaomiao Mountain Range seemed to have transformed into a death zone, with few creatures surviving.

For a vibrant mountain range, that was bizarre.

”Exactly, this should be Celestial Roc Race territory.”

”If a large Life Source Stone ore vein appeared, why haven’t they shown up?”

”Did they not plan to investigate?”

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron also felt highly curious.

It hadn’t discovered any Celestial Roc Race cultivator.

It originally thought it might encounter Celestial Roc Race cultivators and conflict with them.

Yet, it hadn’t detected any demon race cultivator figures, frankly perplexing.

Hearing this, Jiang Fan chose not to respond, knowing the occurrence resulted from a demon nest hidden deep within the ore vein.

Without destiny guidance, he might fall into the demon nest’s trap.

Celestial Roc Race cultivators likely weren’t absent but were killed upon arrival by the demon nest.

Recently revived, the demon nest required extensive blood and soul devouring.

If these Celestial Roc Race cultivators came, they’d serve as mere meals for the demon nest.

If ignorant, approaching the ore vein recklessly might trigger the enemy’s trap.

However, knowing this in advance meant it wasn’t a problem anymore.

Crash~~

Understanding this, Jiang Fan felt a stir within, instantly activated his Lifebound Talisman—Void Heaven Hook Talisman.

Wishing to deploy this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman aimed at fishing out the demon nest.

With it concealed deep within the ore vein, he wisely chose not to approach.

Drawing this Ancient Demon out directly, naturally dismantling its trap.

The next second, the talisman instantly transformed into a golden hookfish.

Guided by destiny powers, he sensed a causality line connecting deep within the ore vein.

It was a black demon egg, pulsing like a heart blanketed in dense demon runes, exuding eerie dreadful demonic aura.

Swish!

In a blink, Jiang Fan gently cast, merging the golden fish hook along the causality line into the void, instantly hooking the black demon egg.

Before the black demon egg could react, he lightly tugged, pulling it from the ore vein, directly before him.

”How is this possible?”

”Human, what did you do to me?”

The black demon egg was immediately dumbfounded.

It hid deep within the ore vein, waiting for the human cultivator to approach and then strike.

Yet the next second, it was caught like a fish by a mysterious fish hook.

Earlier preparations turned utterly void.
