Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 870 - 438: Heavenly Dao’s Favor, Destiny Bestowed (Part 2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
Any practitioner at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stage could have slain him with ease.
This is especially true when compared to the terrifying power of rulers at the Divinity Transformation Level.
Yet, he could now obliterate a Divinity Transformation cultivator with a single strike. The feat is nothing short of breathtaking.
Who would believe such a claim without witnessing it firsthand?
One can only conclude that decades of dedicated Cultivation have resulted in a monumental transformation of the master’s power.
Standard Divinity Transformation cultivators are simply no match for the master in his current state.
"This outcome was predictable."
"The boy has already ascended to Tier Five."
"While his Qi Cultivation remains at the Nascent Soul level, his actual battle prowess surpassed the Divinity Transformation stage long ago."
"Eliminating a common Divinity Transformation expert is a simple task; there is no reason for such shock."
The Primordial Talisman Pen spoke with a tone of smug satisfaction.
It took pride in its own intuition, having selected such a Child of Destiny to inherit the legacy of the Primordial Talisman Sect.
Had a different cultivator been chosen, the heritage of the Primordial Talisman Sect might have been lost to the tides of time.
Even the pen itself might have suffered catastrophic damage, leading to the total destruction of its spirit.
Survival until this day would have been an impossibility.
"What?!"
Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed as he detected an immediate shift in the atmosphere.
His gaze remained locked on the space ahead.
He had assumed the enemy was dead, but a sudden, dark transformation began to take place.
Wisps of a black aura started to leak from the five corpses.
Bizarre black insects crawled out from the remains, a sight so repulsive it made one’s skin crawl.
Simultaneously, a bone-chilling voice rang out.
"Cursed humans, you have dared to sabotage our great design."
"I shall have your life."
The voice sounded as if it were rising from the depths of Hell, sending a shiver through the air.
Even the Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron, the Primordial Talisman Pen, and the other artifacts trembled, sensing they were facing a terrifying foe.
"This is wrong, something is very wrong."
"How can such abnormalities exist in this world?"
The Demon-Vibrating Bell cried out in alarm.
Why were these grotesque things appearing here?
Was their purpose to assassinate this woman?
As Jiang Fan watched the scene unfold, his pupils contracted, and a flood of realizations hit his sea of consciousness.
It was clear now that the danger this woman faced was no accident; it was a calculated move by these strange forces.
Without his interference, they likely would have succeeded.
The fall of a Child of Destiny would have been a devastating blow to the Spirit Ruins Realm.
It was no wonder the guidance of destiny indicated that this woman held the fate of countless lives in the Spirit Ruins Realm within her future.
This moment was likely a pivotal turning point in the threads of fate.
By stepping in, he had shattered their dark schemes, driving them into a state of frantic rage.
Despite the thoughts racing through his mind, Jiang Fan did not hesitate to act.
Great Sun Buddha Mirror!
Jiang Fan instantly triggered the power of the secret treasure. The mirror’s surface glowed with intricate, ancient runes, looking like the manifestation of a supreme Buddhist text.
Streams of scarlet fire poured out; this was the True Sun Fire.
Under his command, the True Sun Fire surged forward, incinerating the path toward the strange creatures.
"That is the True Sun Fire!"
"Filthy humans, how can they command such flames?"
The black insects were filled with terror and fury; they hadn't expected a human to possess the True Sun Fire, a flame that served as their natural nemesis.
But the time for retreat had passed; there was no escape.
Boom~~
In a flash, the overwhelming True Sun Fire washed over them, trapping the black insects in a blaze.
They were powerless to resist, their forms emitting high-pitched hissing sounds and thick black smoke.
The insects were quickly reduced to ash, erased completely from the world.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.
He felt his own destiny swell significantly after the destruction of the black insects.
It felt as though the Heavenly Dao of this world had momentarily turned its attention toward him.
Previously, his presence was slightly at odds with the Spirit Ruins Realm.
If a cultivator of the Great Power level had been nearby, they might have noticed he was an outsider, potentially exposing his true nature.
However, as the massive surge of destiny merged with him, his aura began to shift rapidly.
It was as if he had received the blessing of the realm's Heavenly Dao, granting him the status of a true inhabitant.
"Those were not the entities themselves."
"They appear to be parasites bred from strange powers."
"They infest human cultivators, subtly influencing their minds."
"In extreme cases, they can rewrite memories and seize total control over a person's actions."
"Similar events occurred within the Void Realm during the Ancient Era."
"A mysterious faction of cultivators systematically murdered the champions of the Void Realm."
"Back then, the threat was ignored, leading to the deaths of many great figures."
"That negligence was a primary reason for the downfall of the various races in the Ancient Times."
The Human Emperor Sword spoke up, its voice low and heavy.
The sight of those black insects seemed to have unearthed dark memories from the Ancient Era.
Its tone had become exceptionally grim.
"What are you saying? Is history repeating itself here in the Spirit Ruins Realm?"
Jiang Fan asked, raising an eyebrow in concern.
"It is hard to say for certain, but the resemblance is striking."
"It appears these strange forces have turned their attention toward this world."
