Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 849 - 428: Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, the Evolved Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace (Part 2)

Naturally, this object functions not only as a Cultivation aid but also serves as a formidable defensive immortal artifact.

When called forth, it possesses the power to repel enemy strikes and neutralize a variety of divine powers and magical techniques.

"A First-Grade Opportunity, truly a First-Grade Opportunity indeed."

"The potential of the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron is by no means lower than that of the Immortal Artifact Human Emperor Sword."

A faint smile touched Jiang Fan's lips, his heart brimming with satisfaction.

If the Human Emperor Sword is classified as an offensive immortal artifact, then the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron stands as its defensive counterpart.

With one specialized for attack and the other for protection, he had essentially achieved an invincible state.

By eliminating this assembly of Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators from the Southern Continent, he had not only thwarted the schemes and looming catastrophe of the Demon Dao but also reaped immense rewards—truly killing two birds with one stone.

In truth, he had always perceived the Ancient Treasure Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace as something cryptic and potent, yet he never imagined it was a fundamental piece of an immortal artifact.

"However, since its evolution into an immortal artifact, the difficulty of mastering it has increased significantly."

"It appears I must expend a vast quantity of Luck Points to re-sacrifice the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron."

"Otherwise, I will be unable to exert full control over such a mighty immortal artifact."

Jiang Fan’s eyes gleamed with intensity.

Fortunately, he was currently flush with Luck Points, with a total already surpassing ten million.

Thus, dedicating a portion of those Luck Points to the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron was of little consequence.

Ultimately, an immortal artifact is only truly one's own once it is fully brought under control.

"Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, if you were once an immortal artifact, why did you suddenly shatter into two pieces?"

"What exactly took place?"

The Demon-Vibrating Bell inquired out of curiosity.

It was convinced that the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron must have endured some monumental crisis to end up discarded in the Void Realm.

"Uh, I have forgotten."

"I only have a faint recollection of being an immortal artifact within the Immortal Realm."

"But a cataclysmic battle occurred, causing me to fall from the Immortal Realm."

"When my consciousness finally returned, I found myself here in the Void Realm."

"Furthermore, it has only been a few thousand years since I woke up."

"Because of that, I am not very clear on the events that preceded it."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron replied with a look of confusion.

The majority of its memories had long since vanished, leaving behind nothing but a few blurry images.

"A battle in the Immortal Realm? An immortal artifact cast down from above?"

The Primordial Talisman Pen, the Demon-Vibrating Bell, and the other treasures grew increasingly intrigued by the cauldron's origins, but since it remembered nothing more, they could not press the matter further.

"Let us depart from this location first."

Jiang Fan decided this wasn't the appropriate place for conversation. Given the strange nature of those Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, there might be hidden conspiracies or secrets lurking; it was wiser to return to the Void Secret Realm for now.

Whoosh!

With a swift motion, he summoned the Gate of the Void.

Shortly after, he took the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, exited the Demon Wind Valley, and retreated back to the Void Secret Realm.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished from the area entirely.

They left behind no traces of their aura or any threads of causality.

......

Meanwhile, the demise of the Lu Hai Demon Monarch and the other demon cultivators immediately tipped off the sinister entities hiding in the darkness.

"Dead? That entire group of demon cultivators perished just like that?"

"How could they die so easily after we provided them with so many resources?"

"This is a total joke."

An eerie voice spat out a curse, filled with utter disbelief.

They had made a significant investment to ensure the Demon Dao could rapidly recover in the Void Realm despite the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.

Their hope was for several Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators to rise within the Southern Continent.

By doing so, every living being in the Southern Continent would have been transformed into fallen demons.

Such an outcome would have also crippled the strength of the Human Race.

At that point, even the Child of Destiny who held the Human Emperor Sword would likely have been left with little power to resist.

No one foresaw the sudden collapse of their master plan.

Those Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators were as useless as rotting mud, failing to achieve Divinity Transformation before being slaughtered by their foe.

This failure completely ruined their strategy.

"Who exactly is the one who sabotaged our designs?"

"I cannot track the culprit; their line of causality is masked, shielded by some mysterious power."

"A lack of clues is the most telling clue of all; the one who struck must be that Child of Destiny."

"Those cursed natives, to dare interfere with us is absolutely unpardonable."

"How did that individual sense our plan? What actually happened?"

"Word is that there were internal traitors among the demon cultivators, leading to the total failure of the operation."

"Absurd! Turning a demon cultivator into a traitor? How could that be possible?"

"It is unclear; perhaps this is a unique trait of the native Child of Destiny."

The various eerie presences carried on their discussion.

They had not expected their recently launched plan to be intercepted and crushed by the Child of Destiny.

This realization cast a heavy shadow over their hearts.

It seemed their future endeavors would not be as straightforward as they had once believed.

Nevertheless, they did not lose heart; this was merely a minor hindrance, hardly worth mentioning.

"It appears we truly underestimated that Child of Destiny; wiping out the final resistance in the Void Realm will not be such a simple task."

"What is our next move?"

"Heh, those demon cultivators are unreliable trash. Sending them out is merely sending them to their deaths and hand-delivering cultivation resources to that native Child of Destiny."

"Precisely. If we are to act, we must ensure the Child of Destiny is annihilated completely, leaving him no room to grow, or he will become a massive problem."

"Awaken those sealed demons; only powerful demons can trigger a massive demonic catastrophe. Their strength cannot be compared to those mere demon cultivators."

"Doing so might drain a significant portion of our own power."

"It matters not; if it results in the death of that native Child of Destiny, then the cost is justified."

"Agreed. Even if we fail to kill him, we can at least drain the vitality of the beings in this world."

"Even if the Spiritual Qi of the Void Realm returns to the levels of the Ancient Era, it is useless if no beings remain to use it."

The eerie voices spoke with cold indifference.

Though they were currently pinned down near the Tree of Eternal Life, it did not mean they were powerless.

Even a tiny fragment of their strength would be catastrophic for the inhabitants of this realm.

The chasm between the two sides was simply too wide; they existed on entirely different levels of power.

Without a doubt, Jiang Fan's recent interference had completely incensed them, causing the disaster to escalate.

A sense of impending doom began to spread.

......

Elsewhere, the remaining demon cultivators of the Southern Continent also learned of the fall of the Lu Hai Demon Monarch and his associates, leaving them stunned and in shock.

They were baffled as to how those powerful old demons had met their end.

This news triggered a massive wave of panic within the ranks of the demon cultivators.

"Impossible! Lu Hai Demon Monarch and the others are gone? Weren't they on the verge of Divinity Transformation? How could they be killed so easily?"

"The rumor is that some of our own betrayed them, acting as moles. This led to them being ambushed and wiped out by Righteous Cultivators. Dozens of Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators were slaughtered, and not a single one got away."

"Curse them! Those Righteous Cultivators are more cold-blooded and deceptive than we are. When did they manage to plant spies among us? Is there anyone left in this world who can be trusted?"

"Heh, for all we know, there are Righteous Dao traitors sitting right here among us."

"Quiet! Stop spreading these terrifying rumors and destroying our morale."

"As I said, the Righteous Cultivators are quite cunning; if they weren't, the Demon Dao wouldn't have been suppressed for all these years. Perhaps those opportunities for Divinity Transformation were just a trap set by them to lure us out for slaughter."

"There is no way I'm staying. Remaining on the Southern Continent is a death sentence; we have no other choice. We have to flee to the deep sea regions immediately."

"I agree. I don't dare stay a moment longer; who knows how many Righteous Dao spies have infiltrated us? We're leaking like a sieve."

Countless demon cultivators were gripped by terror because of this incident, constantly looking over their shoulders for traitors.

Suspicion reigned, and trust was nonexistent.

After all, demon cultivators are inherently selfish; trusting another is against their nature.

Consequently, the entire Demon Alliance fell apart.

In a very short span of time, they were rendered incapable of posing any real threat.
