Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1026 - 499: Ancient Demon, Another Destiny Warning

"Fate Warning Three: Yet don't assume that slaying these two Ancient Demons brings an end to it all. The Cultivators from the Ancient Era opted to seal them rather than destroy them not out of foolishness or compassion.

The truth lies in the fact that they harbored strange curses, and upon death, those curses would shift to the Cultivators responsible for their demise, leaving them forever pursued by the eerie forces.

Fortunately, the Human Emperor Sword in your possession, an Immortal Artifact capable of purging these strange curses, demands that you fully eradicate them right at the instant the demons perish. Fail to do so, and the eerie forces will mark you, rendering all methods useless thereafter."

"This..."

As the message hit him, Jiang Fan's eyes narrowed sharply.

Clearly, the demonic outbreak in the Black Dragon Sea Region proved far more complex than anyone thought.

What had broken free wasn't a single Ancient Demon, but a pair of them.

Without prior knowledge, even managing to eliminate the Blood-eating Fish Demon by chance could lead to a fatal ambush from hidden demons. These fiends are incredibly cunning and tough to confront.

Even worse, after deploying all possible tactics to ultimately vanquish the two Ancient Demons.

No one realized they carried dreadful curses.

Curses designed to drag their slayers to doom alongside them.

That's why the Ancient Cultivators decided on sealing over outright extermination.

In a way, these demons served as disposable tools for the eerie forces, like walking explosives.

Left alive, the demons would devastate the lands and butcher every living soul.

Yet opting to slay them could swiftly claim the lives of powerful High-tier Cultivators too.

Regardless of the approach, handling these demons remained a massive headache.

The Ancient Cultivators pondered long and hard before settling on the seal.

Sure, it would bring some issues to the Void Realm of later times, but it stood as the optimal choice.

"Husband, what's our next move?"

Su Weiwei and Lu Youyou turned to Jiang Fan, feeling the gravity of the crisis.

Should things spiral out of control, the Cultivators from the Primordial Talisman Sect might need to pull back completely.

Yes, losing the bountiful Black Dragon Sea Region would hurt, but it beat total wipeout.

"Relax, I'll handle this."

Jiang Fan dismissed their concerns with a wave.

Boom~~

With those words spoken, he swiftly activated the Gate of the Void and dashed to the Black Dragon Sea Region's spatial location.

In moments, his form disappeared from the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.

...

At the same time, within the Black Dragon Sea Region.

Right now, this oceanic area simmered with a horrifying demonic catastrophe.

Boom~~

A fearsome current ripped through the deep sea's gloom, the rush of billions of Fish Demons surging like the thunder of countless war drums, heavy and heart-shaking. Black scales shimmered coldly like metal under dim natural glows, stacked as tough plating, battering rocks to shatter them into bits while the demons stayed unharmed.

What made them scariest were the fang-packed maws, blades keen as knives but ragged like fishhooks, ripping victims effortlessly. Be they huge sea creatures spanning meters or ancient deep-sea beasts twisted for ages, falling into this dark swarm meant instant shredding to gore, skeletons ground and gulped, trails of blood fading quick in the currents.

Even stranger were the Demon Patterns etched on their forms, violet-black designs slithering along scale gaps like wriggling creatures, now and then sparking red glimmers. These patterns appeared to hold some arcane Magic Power, infusing their assaults with raw savagery, striking prey's weak points unerringly, hordes moving under some unseen command, thrusting forward like spearheads piercing lines, surrounding like steel barriers choking life, clearly an infernal legion built for ruin.

In their wake, lively ocean depths became barren wastes, corals dying off, kelp torn apart, the boldest Sea Beasts only scrambling to escape, any delay inviting total obliteration by this all-consuming horde.

The clamor of endless growls, snaps, and crashes echoed through the waters, as if announcing the downfall of underwater harmony, leaving dread to echo alone in the shadows.

"At last, at last, breaking free from that cursed seal."

"This round, I'll make the whole world witness the power of the Blood-eating Fish Demon."

"Nothing can halt my advance."

A plain black ocean fish glided through the depths, hiding in the cracks of seafloor stones.

None suspected it ruled over these Fish Demons.

Indeed, the Blood-eating Fish Demon, for all its battle might, couldn't compete with fellow demons.

Survival-wise, however, scarcely any could match it.

By breeding endless Fish Demons spread over the waves, true death evaded it forever.

Should foes locate its core form, at peril's brink, its soul could leap to another Fish Demon.

Fundamentally, while a single Fish Demon endured, it lived on.

Plus, periodically, it birthed billions more Fish Demons.

A century of endurance could yield trillions of them.

Sadly, the mighty figures of the Ancient Era outnumbered any hope.
