Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1467: Chapter 680: Surviving the Calamity, Gaining a First-Grade Opportunity (Part 2)

”We’ve worked hard for so many years, and all the credit goes to someone else.”

”No, we can’t let this continue. Even if we die, we must drag this guy down with us.”

”That’s right, we absolutely cannot die in such frustration.”

Out of the heart of the tree came the heartrending wails of the one hundred and eight enigmatic beings.

As law creatures, their greatest fear was this innate pure yang immortal fire that could purify all corrupt laws.

The seven-colored immortal fire clung to their law bodies, burning their essence madly. Even though they tried with all their strength to absorb the essence of the Land of Return, they couldn’t resist the burning of the immortal fire— the essence, as soon as it entered their bodies, was instantly refined by the fire, becoming not a means of healing but fuel for the flames.

Some of the enigmatic beings attempted to break free of the fire’s grasp, transforming into wisps of law remnants in flight, only to be dragged back into the sea of flames by Jiang Fan’s activated Destiny Domain, sealing the void tightly.

Others tried to self-detonate their laws, hoping to perish together with Jiang Fan, but were incinerated ahead of time by the immortal fire, leaving not even a fragment of their laws.

Wherever the seven-colored immortal fire passed, darkness dissipated and laws were purified. The once invincible law creatures twisted, dissolved, and wailed under the fire’s burn, collapsing one by one into the sea of flames, utterly annihilated.

Of course, this was only the beginning.

The Tree of Eternal Life endured unbearable suffering.

Its trunk was scorched to blackness, splitting open, billions of its roots carbonizing inch by inch in the sea of flames, unable to absorb even a trace of essence again; the spirits within its body were utterly purified by the fire, turning to nothingness;

The devouring law it once relied on for survival continually collapsed and disappeared under the burning of the immortal fire.

It wildly struggled, the crown of the tree thrashing in an attempt to escape the engulfing sea of flame, yet Jiang Fan used his Destiny Domain to augment the fire, locking the sea of flames tightly around it, leaving no room for escape.

”Boom——!!!”

Another thunderous explosion resounded as the immense trunk of the Tree of Eternal Life, continually scorched by the seven-colored immortal fire, exploded, turning into countless blackened wood chips swept away by the violent gusts of the Land of Return.

In the heart of the tree, the last remaining enigmatic beings let out a final piercing wail under the ultimate burning of the fire, turning entirely into nothingness without leaving a trace of law imprint.

The void continued to tremble, the chaotic winds of the Land of Return surged, and the thick world essence, now unshackled by the demon tree, flowed freely between heaven and earth.

The seven-colored immortal fire slowly retracted back into the seven-colored lotus lamp, its wick still flickering, radiating a gentle and sacred light.

Jiang Fan stood in the void, the seven-colored lotus lamp floating in front of him, vibrating slightly.

He gazed at the ruined Land of Return before him, the traces of the Tree of Eternal Life’s annihilation, and the spirits that had completely dissipated, with calm eyes.

”Could it be that the Tree of Eternal Life was destroyed just like that? How could this be possible?”

”It seems too easy, doesn’t it?”

The Primordial Talisman Pen and other magical treasures were instantly dumbfounded, hardly able to believe it.

During the Ancient Era, many lives were lost, and great cost paid to deal with this Tree of Eternal Life, yet they ultimately failed.

The entire Void Realm fell into decline, countless sects perished, falling into the long river of history.

But now, merely Jiang Fan alone, single-handedly, easily solved this enormous trouble.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed such a thing could occur; it was truly incomprehensible.

”I originally thought I would need to step in, yet this is settled without me having to lift a finger, resolving the Tree of Eternal Life.”

The Human Emperor Sword remained silent.

It was worth noting that in every calamity faced by the Void Realm, it had always been the main player.

It had exhausted untold efforts to resolve past calamities.

But now, it found itself as merely an observer while the greatest calamity in Void Realm history was resolved.

It didn’t even know what to say, feeling as though it had fallen behind the times.

”No, the past cultivators of the Void Realm also contributed immensely.”

”If not for their direct intervention which heavily wounded these beings, it wouldn’t have been so simple for me to annihilate them.”

”At most, I merely delivered the final blow.”

”But the true heavy damage to the enigmatic beings was dealt by the cultivators of the Ancient Era.”

Jiang Fan said humbly.

He considered that killing these enigmatic beings and the Tree of Eternal Life was merely a fractional achievement on his part.

But in reality, it was by no means that simple.

If these enigmatic beings were truly so easy to kill, the ancient cultivators wouldn’t have perished completely.

With the aid of the power suggested by fate, he foresaw the moment when these beings were at their weakest.

Had he acted a moment earlier or later, the situation might have been entirely different.

More importantly, he possessed numerous Immortal Artifacts that countered these beings, so no matter what methods they had, they were ineffective.

In mere moments, they were incinerated by the seven-colored immortal fire.

If he had employed the Human Emperor Sword, it likely wouldn’t have been as easy to kill these enigmatic beings.

They would have repeatedly resurrected, consuming large amounts of his Primordial Magical Power.

However, Jiang Fan didn’t give these beings any chance to resurrect, eliminating all of their life force instantly.

”You truly are the Child of Destiny.”

”The doomsday calamity that shrouded the Void Realm has been resolved by you like this.”

”I thought a heavier price needed to be paid.”

Commented the Human Emperor Sword with a sigh.

According to its initial plan, it believed a large number of Mahayana cultivators needed to be gathered, and under Jiang Fan’s leadership, they would storm the Land of Return, engaging in fierce combat to the death.

With comrades falling one by one, only then would the Tree of Eternal Life be destroyed, attaining ultimate victory.

But now, Jiang Fan solved the problem of the Tree of Eternal Life single-handedly.

And he hadn’t even stepped in yet, unsure of what to say.

Never before had a doomsday calamity been resolved so effortlessly, utterly crushed along the way.

The Tree of Eternal Life was like a stray dog on the roadside, kicked to death with ease.

Boom~~

At this moment, a message instantly entered deep into Jiang Fan’s sea of consciousness: ”You came to the Land of Return and were besieged by the Tree of Eternal Life and the enigmatic beings. The situation was a life-and-death struggle, and after a fierce fight, you finally slew them all, successfully overcoming a great life-and-death tribulation, earning twenty billion Luck Points and a First-Grade Opportunity.”

”It’s finally done.”

Upon sensing this message, a slight smile appeared on Jiang Fan’s face.

Previously, he remained cautious, fearing that these enigmatic beings might have left behind a trump card.

But now, after receiving the message prompted by fate, he immediately realized that these foes had been entirely eliminated by his own hands.

Even if there were any hidden traps left, they would be unable to harm him.

Undoubtedly, the gains this time were immense.

No less than twenty billion Luck Points, and who knows how many tribulations would have been endured to achieve such a bounty.

Perhaps, for a long period, there might not be many opportunities in the Mortal World to earn so many Luck Points.

As for the First-Grade Opportunity, he had already seen it.

Having defeated the Tree of Eternal Life and the many enigmatic beings, the buried treasures immediately surfaced from the ground.

What greeted his eyes were Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, numerous high-tier materials, a great many Life Source Stones, and countless Treasures of Heaven and Earth with names beyond reckoning.

These treasures were amassed over countless years by the enigmatic beings ransacking the Void Realm.

The initial plan of these beings was to take these treasures back to the Immortal Realm and exchange them; hence, they left a large treasury here. One can only imagine how wealthy these beings had become.

After all, the treasuries of many ancient forces from the Ancient Era had been emptied by these beings.

This meant that Jiang Fan had effectively inherited the treasuries of many Void Realm powers.

The treasures accumulated tirelessly by the enigmatic beings over untold years now belonged entirely to him.

If they were still alive, the beings would have been fuming with rage.

This was essentially crafting a wedding dress for someone else.
