Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1030 - 501: Crossing the Tribulation with Ease, Gaining a First-Grade Opportunity

"Hmm?!

Right after slaying the Blood-eating Fish Demon, Jiang Fan detected the curse buried deep inside this creature suddenly bursting out, as though the corruption within was diffusing rapidly, just like a living explosive.

A fearsome beam of black curse radiance launched itself at Jiang Fan, seeking to fuse with his flesh and consume his vital essence.

Regrettably for it, Jiang Fan had foreseen this development ages ago.

Purification Immortal Light!

This marks the initial skill of the Human Emperor Sword. It releases the Purification Light, which cleanses every curse and shadow across the world, and no impurity can taint this Immortal Sword.

In essence, typical curses stand no chance against the wielder of the Human Emperor Sword; they get purified with ease.

Yet, the peculiar curse from the previous encounter stood apart.

That particular curse had exceeded the purification capacity of the Human Emperor Sword, forcing him to evade it entirely.

However, the curse residing in the Blood-eating Fish Demon differs; it remains vulnerable to the Human Emperor Sword.

Otherwise, he would never have ventured here to eliminate the Blood-eating Fish Demon.

Boom~~

A brilliant white glow erupted instantly, pure as the world's most unblemished radiance.

Nothing impure could endure within this white light.

Sizzle~~

Beneath the glow of the Purification Immortal Light, the curse inside the demon got utterly annihilated, with crackling noises echoing, and from the void's depths arose faint, unwilling murmurs.

But such efforts proved fruitless.

"Opportunity, a great opportunity."

"This guy has mastered the Human Emperor Sword, he must be the Child of Destiny."

"If I kill him, I will surely gain immense credit."

At that instant, the Shadow Demon Fish concealed in the darkness grew thrilled witnessing this spectacle.

It believed the time was ripe for an attack.

For this human cultivator surely depleted a vast amount of his magical energy in defeating the Blood-eating Fish Demon.

And it lurked undetected in the shadows.

With such careful plotting, this human cultivator couldn't possibly rival it.

Back in the Ancient Era, it employed this stealthy killing technique to dispatch numerous mighty beings.

This youth was only a Tier Six Cultivator.

Though it had recently escaped its seal and regained little of its cultivation base,

dispatching a mere Tier Six Early Stage cultivator should demand minimal exertion.

Should it succeed, it would earn tremendous merit, with rewards beyond measure.

Whoosh!

In a flash, the Shadow Demon Fish lunged forward, its velocity hitting astonishing heights, its body blending seamlessly into the void.

Simultaneously, not a trace of its presence escaped, producing no disturbances in the surrounding space.

It resembled slipping through into another dimension.

This constituted its exclusive assassination divine ability.

Upon approaching a foe, it could strike them down effortlessly and withdraw without issue.

"Finally come, have you?"

Yet for Jiang Fan, guided by fate's insight, the Shadow Demon Fish's divine ability held virtually no value.

He precisely pinpointed the Shadow Demon Fish's position.

Toward this stealthy foe, he maintained utmost caution, denying the enemy any opening.

Soul Devourer Domain!

In an instant, Jiang Fan invoked his domain ability through mere intent.

At once, a region covering hundreds of kilometers fell under the domain's influence.

It appeared as if the heavens darkened, shifting into a shadowy abyss.

In this domain, it consumed the souls of every living entity.

Faintly, from the void's core, a phantom of the Divine Beast Soaring Snake materialized, its jaws gaping to swallow all soul essences.

As though lying in wait for quarry to enter its snare.

"What’s going on?"

The Shadow Demon Fish was stunned, aware it had stumbled into a swamp.

Its form became shrouded in potent domain energy.

Normally, the domain of an average Void Refining Cultivator meant nothing to it.

It could traverse freely everywhere, akin to a specter in the night.

But this Soul Devourer Domain assaulted not the physique, but the spirit.

Any being possessing a soul that entered the Soul Devourer Domain faced severe spiritual suppression.

Right then, it sensed its soul being gnawed by an unseen power, as if on the verge of separating from its frame.

This instilled profound terror in it.

Should its soul separate, it would be wholly consumed by this horrifying domain, merging into nothingness.

"Damn, I’ve been discovered by this guy."

"This guy’s power also counters me."

The Shadow Demon Fish's thoughts churned in chaos, gripped by astonishment.

It had assumed this human cultivator fell short of its prowess and could be slain without resistance.

Never did it imagine underestimating this enigmatic human cultivator.

The foe's domain ability appeared specially designed to thwart its divine power.

The instant it entered the opponent's domain, it got immediately exposed to this human cultivator.

For a demon focused on assassination, stealth ranks as the utmost priority.

If its position gets revealed, it's nearly as good as doomed.

After all, its defenses were weak, with most resources poured into hiding and striking.

Whoosh!

Grasping this truth, the Shadow Demon Fish forfeited the will to confront this human cultivator further, opting to flee.

Lingering here spelled inevitable demise.

It flicked its tail, promptly attempting to withdraw.
