Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1029 - 500: Divine Power of Karma, Soaring Snake’s Venom (2)

Back in the Ancient Era, this demon proved to be an incredibly difficult foe to handle.

Especially considering its exceptional capacity for survival.

"So you've finally surfaced?"

Right then, Jiang Fan gazed steadily at the Blood-eating Fish Demon rising from the ocean depths.

He had foreseen this development ages ago.

Unless this Ancient Demon was utterly dim-witted, it would surely launch an assault on him.

Failing that, the Soaring Snake toxin would infect all of its progeny, leading to total annihilation.

Yet, regardless, the Blood-eating Fish Demon's move came far too late.

Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure—Taiyi Five Smoke Net.

Without a moment's delay, Jiang Fan triggered a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure from his arsenal, one fortified with immense protective capabilities.

He chose not to deploy other magical treasures in order to gain precious moments.

For he required time to deploy Bloodline Divine Techniques that would eliminate every last offspring of the Blood-eating Fish Demon.

Leaving even a single one behind could permit the foe to slip away.

Boom~~

The following instant saw a multicolored haze erupt, fully encasing Jiang Fan and spanning hundreds of kilometers in all directions.

Within the haze's core, endless arcane symbols shimmered mysteriously.

As though sketched by vast arrays of these symbols.

They coalesced into a gigantic Taiyi sphere.

Thump!

The colossal form of the Blood-eating Fish Demon hurtled forward, baring its massive jaws to devour Jiang Fan entirely, intent on devouring the accursed human.

However, the multicolored haze halted it abruptly.

Its razor-sharp teeth clamped down savagely on the haze.

It felt akin to striking soft cotton; every bit of force dissipated completely.

"You wretched human,"

The Blood-eating Fish Demon seethed with rage, detecting that as its strike failed, yet another hundred million fish demons perished under the divine technique's might.

Concealment proved futile, be it in ocean trenches, upon isles, or amid untamed peaks and woods.

For against the thread of causality, all secrets stood exposed.

Only by breaking that causal link could it halt this horrifying divine technique.

"My current power is far too feeble,"

The Blood-eating Fish Demon's fury reached its zenith.

This wasn't mere justification; it was cold reality.

At full strength, a puny Tier Six human cultivator wouldn't dare show itself in its presence.

A single casual chomp would turn that cultivator into sustenance within its gut.

The issue lay in its eons-long sealing, which had eroded its cultivation time and again.

Presently, it wielded only early-stage Refining Void might.

With additional time to consume flesh and souls aplenty, it could reclaim late-stage Refining Void prowess, perhaps even ascend to Body Integration Realm.

Regrettably, the adversary offered no such luxury, striking right after its seal shattered, denying any recovery opportunity.

"Shadow Fish Demon, strike now,"

"Together, we'll dispatch this human cultivator with ease,"

"We can't let this human cultivator keep unleashing this divine technique,"

In that instant, the Blood-eating Fish Demon reeled in shock and ire, swiftly sending divine sense to the Shadow Fish Demon.

For it realized breaching this treasure's barrier would take too long alone.

Further postponement was intolerable.

Should this persist, the accursed human cultivator would eradicate all its young entirely.

Thus, its sole recourse was allying with the Shadow Fish Demon.

After all, that entity's power demanded respect.

Though its endurance paled, its covert striking force excelled.

"Hold steady, let's observe this being's hidden aces first,"

The Shadow Fish Demon exercised utmost wariness.

It had witnessed the sheer terror of this enigmatic Tier Six human cultivator.

So youthful, yet wielding such profound depths of skill—it defied comprehension.

Crucially, who could assure no other human Refining Void experts lurked nearby?

Other human Great Powers might be concealed, poised for its move.

While the Blood-eating Fish Demon's plight was dire indeed, it deemed the moment premature for action.

Wiser to bide until this foe exhausted its reserves.

"Curse you, Shadow Fish Demon, you spineless coward,"

Hearing this, the Blood-eating Fish Demon flew into a complete frenzy; amid a crisis of existence, this ally still hesitated.

No demon in the wilds possessed true allegiance anymore.

Earlier promises rang of solidarity, sharing life and peril.

Yet true peril arrived, and the partner balked at intervening.

It was left to fend solely for itself.

Boom~~

That very moment, the Blood-eating Fish Demon's face twisted in horror; amid the stall, the human cultivator's divine technique had purged every Fish Demon descendant, including those stashed away, felled by causal ties.

It was as if its entire lineage faced obliteration.

Beyond its own form, scarcely a lone Fish Demon remained.

A chilling dread surged through it now, pulse pounding, instincts screaming to flee.

For it stood as the final survivor.

Perishing here meant utter finality.

No worldly revival possible; an alien terror gripped it like never before.

The dread of oblivion quaked its frame uncontrollably.

"Perish,"

Just then, a glint of icy resolve flashed in Jiang Fan's gaze.

He halted the bloodline divine technique's assault on the lineage, the leftover toxin too scant to fell the Blood-eating Fish Demon's core form.

This technique's chief aim was severing every avenue of the Blood-eating Fish Demon's endurance.

With the Fish Demons eradicated, the Blood-eating Fish Demon had no refuge left.

Boom~~

Suddenly, Jiang Fan summoned the Immortal Artifact Human Emperor Sword; this relic held potent suppression over demons.

Moreover, wielding the Human Emperor Sword against demons nullified the lingering curse from the Ancient Demon.

Upon vanquishing this demon, no eerie curse would bind the wielder.

In that instant, the Human Emperor Sword, powered by Jiang Fan, radiated boundless golden radiance, adorning his form with myriad imperial runes.

His fate and might surged to unparalleled heights.

In realms beyond sight, the Heavenly Dao shielded him.

For a fleeting span, he embodied the heaven-and-earth sovereign, humanity's fortune gathering upon him.

No need for sword arts mastery.

Grasping the Human Emperor Sword made him the supreme blade's ruler.

Ability Five: Emperor’s Judgment.

This marked the fifth power of the Human Emperor Sword; as an Immortal Artifact embodying imperial dominion, it wielded authority to adjudge all creation. When the bearer swings it with regal splendor, a ray bearing utmost prestige and adjudicating force descends.

This ray pierces all barriers, striking straight at the foe's spirit and essence, utterly dismantling the adversary without remnant.

Thump!

The instant after, a golden sword ray burst forth from the Human Emperor Sword, instantly targeting the Blood-eating Fish Demon's Qi.

At inconceivable velocity, it surged onward, bypassing all spatial gaps.

"Unbelievable, that's the Immortal Artifact Human Emperor Sword,"

"Wasn't this Immortal Artifact beyond anyone's control?"

"How did it end up with this human cultivator?"

Witnessing this, the Blood-eating Fish Demon's expression warped in alarm; as a demon assailant of the Void Realm, it held knowledge of many Void Realm enigmas and strengths.

Among these, the Immortal Artifact Human Emperor Sword ranked as a pinnacle force, one that particularly curbed demons like itself.

Facing the Human Emperor Sword, flight was no shame.

But even flight was now impossible.

It perceived the sword ray's velocity as staggeringly swift.

The very sight brought it upon the demon.

Evasion lay beyond reach.

Boom~~

The Blood-eating Fish Demon endured excruciating agony from its vast frame, the entire mass sundered cleanly in twain by the sword ray.

Far worse, the ray harbored fearsome adjudicating force, steadily snuffing its spirit.

Had fish demon progeny lingered, soul transference might have granted survival.

Alas, this human cultivator had beforehand slain every offspring.

All means of persistence crumbled then.

Fear never even stirred; awareness plunged into boundless void.

The Blood-eating Fish Demon, slain!
