Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 886 - 445: Human Path Destiny, Recognition of the Heavenly Dao

Even with Xu Ling's demise, the lingering might pressed on without mercy, the colossal axe's momentum slamming down fiercely onto the ground.

Peaks shattered apart, towering ranges reaching a thousand feet in splendor got cleaved open like mere soft tofu, their split sections tumbling with deafening crashes, shards hurling skyward in a meteor-like barrage, while dust clouds billowed out over tens of thousands of miles.

Earth veins fractured, the terrain split wide open right at the strike's center, forming a bottomless ravine, with cracks racing outward like a savage serpent's coils, stretching thousands of miles in moments, as dark molten magma burst forth from the gaps, belching out acrid sulfurous fumes.

At the spot where the massive axe landed, rubble poured down in a relentless downpour, every chunk wrapped in leftover Ancient Divine Power, which gouged out innumerable craters across the surface.

A fierce wind whipped up the airborne grit, shrouding the skies and eclipsing the sun, lingering for ages before slowly drifting back to earth.

The once lively landscape now bore only a horrifying rift extending thousands of miles, with the sheer, glassy fractures along the mountain faces gleaming under the fading golden glow of divine runes, as though narrating the cataclysmic blow.

In the emptiness, the Ancient Divine Being's outline gradually dissolved as the giant axe vanished, but the persisting divine aura still hushed all life in the realm—this was the true might of the Celestial-Fighting Axe Talisman, channeling the talisman's essence to summon the ultimate force of the Ancient Deity, a single blow to slay divinities and rend the heavens and earth.

"Indeed, the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talisman is truly powerful."

"Each Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman holds distinct abilities."

Jiang Fan balled his hand into a tight fist.

No doubt about it, activating this Celestial-Fighting Axe Talisman had drained a huge chunk of his magical energy.

Yet the cost proved entirely justified.

The strength of this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman surpassed all expectations, serving as yet another vital ace up his sleeve.

"This."

The Primordial Talisman Pen nearby stood utterly stunned, since even it had never beheld the Celestial-Fighting Axe Talisman's might before; after all, back in the Ancient Era's Primordial Talisman Sect, not even the sect's founding forefathers had crafted many of the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talismans.

Yet Jiang Fan had already produced a full ten Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans.

In essence, every move Jiang Fan made from here on out was forging new legends for the Primordial Talisman Sect.

No one could offer this young man any guidance now; he had to forge his own path entirely.

"Hmm?!"

Jiang Fan arched his brow.

He abruptly noticed a strand of eerie black mist rising from the corpse of the Divinity Transformation Cultivator Xu Ling, resembling a shadowy larva, which tried to dive into the void and escape at top speed.

Sensing this odd mist, a deep revulsion stirred within him right away.

"Bewitching Worm."

"This fellow carried a Bewitching Worm inside him."

"No surprise he turned to the Demon Race for shelter; clearly, the worm had swayed his mind."

The Human Emperor Sword's voice boomed out at once, laced with fury.

Boom~~

Before Jiang Fan could make a move, the Human Emperor Sword surged forward on its own, a blazing golden sword beam fixing onto the mist clinging to the foe, slashing ahead at impossible velocity.

Within a mere heartbeat, this golden sword beam smashed into the worm.

"Ah!"

The worm let out a piercing wail that reverberated for hundreds of miles, sending out ripples of soul-shaking waves that prickled the skin; ordinary folk couldn't endure such a cry.

Likely, they'd shatter and perish on the spot.

Still, the target couldn't resist this blade either, getting wiped out in a flash, utterly turned to dust.

"Human Emperor Sword, you can actually strike here in this realm?"

Jiang Fan asked with genuine curiosity.

He was aware that the Human Emperor Sword served as an Immortal Artifact tied solely to the Void Realm, where it could unleash its full potential without limit, yet upon entering other realms, its strength faced severe restrictions.

To be honest, he never anticipated the Human Emperor Sword would initiate on its own; it was downright astonishing.

"Truth be told, I'm puzzled by it too."

"Upon my initial entry to this world, I truly couldn't intervene, like my abilities were bound by some seal."

"But after you rescued that young girl, the restriction on me suddenly vanished."

"I even detect boundless human destiny lurking in the hidden layers."

"It's as if I've returned to the Void Realm—utterly baffling."

The Human Emperor Sword itself felt deeply perplexed, clueless about the shift.

Before, its might stayed locked to the Void Realm, with no way to project force elsewhere.

But at present, even while dwelling in foreign realms, it appeared capable of wielding its power freely.

Moreover, from the concealed aspects, it could draw upon the immense human destiny of this place, something entirely novel to it.

"Something like this?"

Jiang Fan lifted his brow.

He suspected it tied closely to his Life Chart.

By rescuing the Child of Destiny Ye Linglong and eliminating a horde of strange beings, he had at last earned the approval of this world's Heavenly Dao.

At the same time, he claimed a portion of the realm's Destiny.

While not quite a Child of Destiny, he now ranked as a Child of Fortune.

The Heavenly Dao of the Spirit Ruins Realm even viewed him as one of its favored.

That might explain why the Human Emperor Sword's abilities worked in this world.

"What exactly is the Bewitching Worm?"

Jiang Fan questioned.

"The Bewitching Worm represents a unique creation of the bizarre race."

"Shapeless and without form, they can nestle deep in a person's soul, evading detection by most cultivators."

"These peculiar parasites amplify the hidden greed and dark impulses buried in a cultivator's core."

"Prolonged exposure turns the victim into an unwitting slave forever."

"Back in the Ancient Era, when countless Void Realm powerhouses flipped sides and waves of betrayers arose, those Bewitching Worms were to blame."
