Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1031 - 501: Crossing the Tribulation with Ease, Gaining a First-Grade Opportunity (Part 2)

Jiang Fan had no intention of allowing this Ancient Demon to escape without a fight.

A demon expert in assassination, if permitted to slip away and lurk in the darkness, could become an enormous danger—who could predict the havoc?

Even if it failed to take his life, it might target those close to him.

A demon this perilous must not depart from here breathing.

“Die.”

A chilling light flashed in Jiang Fan’s gaze, and he swiftly unleashed yet another Sub-Immortal Artifact in his possession—the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber.

This represented a supremely potent killing Magical Treasure.

Upon targeting the enemy’s aura and causal links, it invariably struck true.

Employing other Magical Treasures might prove ineffective against the Shadow Fish Demon, renowned for its blinding speed.

Given the foe’s velocity, it could evade the strike’s reach in a flash.

Yet the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber stood apart.

Its assault velocity surpassed even that of the Shadow Fish Demon.

Boom~~

Without delay, Jiang Fan channeled his immense Primordial Magical Power into the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber, igniting its full might at once.

In that instant, it morphed into a brilliant white energy form, enveloped by a horrifying murderous aura and icy gleam.

It resembled the deadliest weapon conceivable in existence.

Whoosh!

The following moment saw the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber fixate on the Shadow Fish Demon’s aura, hurtling forward like a guided missile and reaching its mark instantaneously.

In scarcely more than an eye’s flicker, it materialized right in front of this Ancient Demon.

The blade’s glow carried the force to rend the void itself.

Cracks spiderwebbed across the nearby void.

“Impossible! Just how many Magical Treasures does this fellow possess?”

Witnessing this, the Shadow Fish Demon’s eyes bulged in disbelief at the sight.

Possessing the Human Emperor Sword, an Immortal Artifact, was already astonishing, a stroke of unimaginable fortune.

Yet apart from that Immortal Artifact, a second one appeared, which defied all reason.

It couldn’t fathom how this detestable human cultivator had acquired it.

But such thoughts held no relevance now.

“It’s finished.”

Before the Shadow Fish Demon could devise a counter, the saber closed in, slicing through its form in an instant.

Regarding defenses, it paled beside a beast like the Blood-eating Fish Demon.

Thus, against the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber’s might, its protections crumbled effortlessly.

Its flesh proved as brittle as bean curd.

What terrified it further was the outburst of Destruction Law power from the saber.

Bursts of annihilating energy radiated outward.

This force could obliterate all, soul included.

In that moment, regret overwhelmed it to the point of tears.

It remembered the Blood-eating Fish Demon’s earlier proposal; had it struck then and allied against this human cultivator, they might have crushed him together.

Yet its overabundance of wariness allowed the Blood-eating Fish Demon to fall swiftly to this human.

One could say its undue prudence resulted in defeat through division.

Regrettably, words now rang hollow.

After all, regret offered no remedy in this realm.

Boom~~

Instantly, the Shadow Fish Demon’s soul shattered, and its enormous demonic frame plunged into the ocean depths.

As death claimed it, the curse sealed within its body detonated, seeking to taint Jiang Fan.

Yet the Human Emperor Sword purified it with ease, barring any curse from nearing him.

Thus, the pair of Ancient Demons, freshly freed from their bonds, met their end at his hands without hope of reprieve.

Boom~~

Right then, a notification pierced into the core of Jiang Fan’s consciousness sea: “Through swift action and full exertion to ultimately eliminate two Ancient Demons, you have aided all life in averting a dire crisis. You receive one billion Luck Points and a First-Grade Opportunity.”

Upon detecting this alert, Jiang Fan exhaled deeply in relief.

He had fretted that his prior efforts hadn’t truly felled these two Ancient Demons.

After all, Ancient Demons brimmed with deceptions and endless tricks; their secret reserves remained unknown.

They might possess ways to flee and endure.

But with destiny’s confirmation via this message, it confirmed the two Ancient Demons’ utter demise, barring any resurrection.

In essence, he had steered the Black Dragon Sea Region past a monumental disaster.

Had these two Ancient Demons persisted, the death toll they’d rack up defied imagination.

“One billion Luck Points at that; it’s like razing an entire demon lair.”

Jiang Fan felt a touch of astonishment himself, unprepared for such a haul of Luck Points.

He’d figured tens of millions would suffice, but a billion seemed over the top.

Still, upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

The peril these two Ancient Demons posed rivaled a full demon cave.

Take the Blood-eating Fish Demon: without his fortuitous counters to its survival arts, even Integration or Mahayana experts present might fail to slay it.

The Shadow Fish Demon mirrored this, its stealth powers too formidable, blending seamlessly into shadows and voids.

Absent destiny’s vigilant watch over this demon, Jiang Fan would struggle to pinpoint its position.

Other cultivators fared even worse.

Fresh from escape, the demons languished at low strength. Grant them time to reclaim their cultivation, and the Void Realm might fall to chaos, its inhabitants massacred.

Hence, one billion Luck Points earned its keep, fully justified.

“Plus a First-Grade Opportunity? Curious what treasure awaits.”

Jiang Fan’s interest piqued toward this First-Grade Opportunity, the pinnacle of boons in the Void Realm.

Such prizes appeared exceedingly seldom.

One alone could twist a cultivator’s destiny, crowning them a Child of Fortune.

Naturally, his curiosity burned for this First-Grade Opportunity.

“Does the precise site of this First-Grade Opportunity lie within the Demon Cave?”

“Despite the two Ancient Demons’ breakout, remnants of fortune persist inside.”

Jiang Fan reviewed the details of this opportunity and soon learned it resided in the Demon Cave.

Likely a legacy from some Ancient Era luminary.

Whoosh!

With that in mind, he wasted no time, his form blurring as he sped toward the Demon Cave’s position.

The Demon Cave sat thirty thousand meters beneath the Black Dragon Sea Region, once the domain of the Five Poison Flood Dragon.

For ages, the Flood Dragon kin had warded this spot.

No grave incidents had arisen throughout.

Yet the Spiritual Energy Revival and upheavals in heaven and earth troubled the Demon Cave’s seal.

Thereby allowing those two Ancient Demons to break free.

For typical humans, plunging thirty thousand meters into the depths proved nigh unattainable.

But for Jiang Fan, a Tier Six Cultivator, it amounted to mere play.

His Mana Shield repelled the encircling seawater.

It mimicked the effect of a water-avoiding pearl.

Not a drop of seawater could touch him.

Soon enough, Jiang Fan reached the notorious Demon Cave.

Before him loomed a colossal undersea volcano, erupting with fearsome lava and dark fumes nonstop.

The ambient heat scorched intensely.

Entering felt akin to stepping into infernal realms.

Within this undersea volcano yawned a vast cavern, plunging endlessly without a trace of light.

At the seafloor’s depths, the mountain face bore intricate Array patterns densely etched.

Each rock here defied destruction.

Crafted from extraordinary substances.

Clearly, an Array from the Ancient Era had been erected upon it.

Through the passage of time, however, this Ancient Array lay in ruins, marred by craters and breaches everywhere.

Presumably, the two Ancient Demons had rampaged upon their flight.

Elsewise, such devastation wouldn’t mark it so completely.

Meanwhile, the cavern’s interior brimmed with thick demonic aura, gathered across eons.

Whoosh!

Jiang Fan delayed no longer, his silhouette darting as he plunged straight into the Demon Cave.
