Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1037 - 504: Primordial Domain, Heart Demon Tribulation
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"At last, I've genuinely entered the First-Layer Void Refining stage."
Right now, Jiang Fan could feel the ancient magical energy surging deep inside him, coupled with the vast might of his divine sense—a force that had transformed dramatically from before, surging over ten times stronger.
Even more crucial, the magical energy and divine sense had merged seamlessly into a single entity.
In a mere instant of focus, a vast domain stretched across thousands of miles, enveloping the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Primordial Domain!
This domain brimmed with diverse forces like gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and beyond. In fact, every aspect of his Life Talisman's power had been woven into it, rendering it utterly comprehensive.
When this primordial domain unfurled, he could unleash a multitude of powers.
Truly, any Life Talisman he held allowed him to command its corresponding force.
It was as though he could merge effortlessly with the infinite energies of heaven and earth.
The greater the integrated power, the more terrifying the primordial domain proved.
Beneath the sweep of his primordial domain, he sensed complete mastery over everything it touched.
He resembled a divine creator, nearly all-powerful in his dominion.
With just a flicker of intent, he could obliterate any creature inside the domain, radiating absolute tyranny.
"Yet ahead lie the Heart Demon Tribulation and Thunder Tribulation still."
"Surviving both is the only way to fully ascend to Refining Void."
"Falling to the tribulations would mean utter doom."
Jiang Fan's face grew gravely solemn.
For at that instant, he detected the Heart Demon Tribulation descending upon him.
Crack~~
A thunderous rupture, echoing from the dawn of time, reverberated through the void—profound and weighty, akin to myriad mountains crumbling at once.
Jiang Fan's gaze shot upward abruptly, where he beheld the heavens above torn asunder by a malevolent fissure at some point. This fissure resembled a fiend's glaring eye, oozing dense, ink-black fog from its borders, within which twisted runes danced, radiating an icy malevolence.
Moments later, the fissure widened at a frantic pace, the slender split exploding into a colossal chasm spanning the entire sky. From its abyssal core erupted waves of unearthly wails, saturated with avarice, brutality, and an insatiable urge to destroy.
Instantly, hordes of shadowy figures erupted from the chasm, cascading like a breached dam to swallow the world whole. These forms varied wildly—some bore three heads and six arms, each limb clutching a sinister weapon that glinted with lethal chill;
Others resembled squirming blobs of meat, dotted with innumerable eyes that fixed hungrily on the cultivators beneath; Yet more mimicked human shapes, but with ashen skin, empty sockets, and slobbering maws, emanating a potent stench of demise. These were the celestial demons from beyond, vile entities forged from the world's darkest sentiments, preying on the essences of the living.
"How come so many Outer Celestial Demons are showing up?"
"Shouldn't this be just the Heart Demon Tribulation?"
Jiang Fan's brows knitted in concern.
It deviated sharply from the Primordial Talisman Pen's accounts; the Heart Demon Tribulation had intensified far beyond the Ancient Era's standards.
This transcended a mere Heart Demon Tribulation—it was a full-blown Celestial Demon Tribulation.
To put it plainly, these outer celestial demons outmatched internal heart demons in potency.
Beyond ensnaring cultivators in perpetual hallucinations,
They could consume the trapped cultivator's soul amid the delusions.
In essence, they embodied a demonic breed.
Without question, his advance to the Void Refinement Realm had stirred these outer celestial demons into frenzy. They poured through the void's tear, zeroing in on Jiang Fan's aura.
To them, he represented the ultimate delicacy imaginable.
"A human cultivator is breaking through to Refining Void."
"Heh heh, after so many years—finally, a cultivator reaches Refining Void again."
"Without this human's breakthrough, we'd never pierce this world's barrier to invade."
"We have to devour him—his soul carries such an intoxicating scent."
"This human isn't your typical Void Refining cultivator; that soul presence is unprecedented in strength."
"Devouring his soul might elevate us all to Demon Kings."
The outer celestial demons chattered in wild disarray, plunged into utter delirium.
The very second these celestial demons materialized, they began a frenzied cavort through the void, performing a grotesque ritual of disorder.
They ripped into one another and feasted, unleashing shrill, mind-piercing cackles laced with otherworldly sorcery that burrowed straight into the psyche.
Certain celestial demons spread enormous wings, darting among the clouds and streaking black trails; others tumbled and leaped across the earth, scattering dry foliage and shattered stones;
While some linked in rings, initiating a primordial, wicked rite, murmuring incantations as if summoning a horrific offering.
"This..."
A sharp chill flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes.
He noticed the vista before him warping and fading, the ear-shattering cries and laughs receding, supplanted by echoes of the past.
Visions assailed him of returning to Osmanthus Village, powerless to shield Su Weiwei, watching her fall to the Dragon King Gang's blades. She arose as a furious spirit, her visage twisted in bitter accusation;
It was like reliving old battles, with slain foes extending bony claws to pull him into eternal darkness.
