Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1272 - 587: The Might of the Immortal Artifact Mourning Staff, Vanquishing Demon Flame Daoist

Three days later, at dusk, at the City Lord’s Mansion of Demon Flame City.

At this moment, a massive magical phenomenon appeared above the entire City Lord’s Mansion, with countless demonic qi converging together, nearly covering the sky and blocking out the sun. This demonic qi transformed into a Black Dragon, spiraling in the sky and letting out deafening roars.

Ripples of void appeared as tremors emanated from the space above.

A terrifying heat wave radiated from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Demon Cultivators near the mansion would feel an overwhelming pressure.

Weaker Cultivators might even faint from the shock.

Many Refining Void Demon Cultivators watched the scene nervously.

They had no idea if the City Lord’s alchemy this time was a success or a failure.

It could be said that regardless of the outcome, this alchemy attempt would have profound implications for Demon Flame City.

Boom~~

At that moment, the magical dragon in the sky let out a mournful wail, its entire body trembling as if in unprecedented pain, unable to maintain its vast form any longer.

In the next second, countless demonic qi in the sky dissipated in an instant, and the massive dragon’s body broke apart, scattering in all directions.

Simultaneously, a horrifying explosive sound erupted from within the City Lord’s Mansion, as if a massive alchemy cauldron had burst apart, breaking into pieces and producing a terrifying shockwave.

The entire Demon Flame City experienced a massive earthquake, akin to a magnitude seven or eight tremor.

Cracks appeared on the ground.

Many buildings couldn’t withstand the shockwave, collapsing instantly and turning into ruins.

But the City Lord’s Mansion was different.

The entire mansion was filled with dense Restriction Arrays, possessing a Tier Seven Array Barrier, capable of withstanding an Integration Cultivator’s attack, so despite the terrifying explosion, it couldn’t significantly damage the mansion.

However, the explosion caused cracks to appear in the City Lord’s Mansion.

Many Restriction Arrays were destroyed.

”What happened? Why is there such a massive tremor?”

”Alas, judging by this situation, the alchemy attempt must have failed.”

”Indeed, if the alchemy had succeeded, it definitely wouldn’t look like this.”

”It’s surprising that despite the long preparation by the City Lord, the alchemy still failed.”

”How many Tier Seven Spirit Medicines are lost due to one failure?”

”That’s the difficulty of being an Alchemist. Each alchemy attempt is costly, yet you must keep trying because without doing so, you’ll never gain experience.”

”Each Alchemist is a treasure. It’s no wonder other cultivators can be killed, but an alchemist can live, for such an alchemist is needed not only by Righteous Cultivators but also by us Demon Cultivators.”

”This alchemy failure is a huge loss. The City Lord must be very angry, so we should avoid him for a while, or we’ll be killed by his wrath.”

Many Refining Void Demon Cultivators said with concern.

They hadn’t anticipated that despite the lengthy preparation by the City Lord, the alchemy attempt would still end in failure.

At the same time, they remembered Demon Flame Daoist’s viciousness.

If they accidentally provoked him, they might be annihilated entirely.

Each of them was filled with fear, afraid of being caught in the aftermath and ending up with no burial place.

At this moment, inside the City Lord’s Mansion, in an Alchemy Room.

This place was already a mess, with craters everywhere and stones scattered about.

The two Integration Great Powers, Demon Flame Daoist and Shadow Daoist, were disheveled, with blood at the corners of their mouths, having sustained some injuries, but for Integration Cultivators, it wasn’t a major issue.

Since the injuries weren’t fatal, they could recover quickly given enough time.

What troubled them was the failure of this alchemy attempt, which resulted in the destruction of all materials inside.

Starting another batch of Elixirs seemed an immensely difficult task.

For them, it was a significant blow.

Even as Integration Great Powers, finding such rare materials again was nearly impossible.

”Didn’t expect to fail after investing so much time and effort.”

”Refining a Tier Seven Elixir is indeed very difficult.”

Demon Flame Daoist said quietly.

”That’s to be expected; if it were easy, Tier Seven Elixirs would have been plentiful long ago.”

”Integration Cultivators progress so slowly, greatly due to the scarcity of Tier Seven Elixirs.”

”There are fewer and fewer Spirit Medicines and Elixirs to aid our cultivation, almost none now.”

”If we could obtain a corpse of an Immortal Beast, perhaps our progress would not lag behind those Exotic Beasts.”

Shadow Daoist said through gritted teeth.

He knew that the reason for the emergence of so many Integration Realm Exotic Beasts was the existence of Immortal Beast corpses.

These Exotic Beasts rapidly increased their cultivation by consuming Immortal Beast corpses.

Then, they formed a massive community.

In fact, various Exotic Beast tribes in the Ice Prison world possessed Immortal Beast corpses.

Thus, they became the overlords of the Ice Prison world, far surpassing human Cultivators.

”Haha, it’s not that simple.”

”Any easily found Immortal Beast corpses have long been taken by those Exotic Beasts.”

”More importantly, even if we somehow obtained an Immortal Beast corpse, we’d likely be besieged by those Combined Exotic Beasts.”

”It’s not like no one has tried similar things before.”

”But they were immediately besieged by a large number of Exotic Beasts, the entire city was destroyed, and even the Immortal Beast corpse was stolen.”
