Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 915 - 459: Combined Demon, Breaking Out of the Demon Cave (2)

A few days earlier, the Cyan Stone Demon Cave had sent forth a massive wave of elite demons, rendering its depths highly exposed, where only around a few hundred Refining Void Demons and three Combined Demons lingered.

Counting myself in, we total merely four Combined Demons.

All the others consist of Divinity Transformation Demons.

Yet I must remain to protect the Demon Core and cannot venture out freely.

Without question, the foes are aware of this weakness, grabbed the chance, and chose to initiate a jailbreak.

But how exactly did the intruders slip into the Cyan Stone Demon Cave so stealthily?

Why has it still failed to detect the enemies' approach even at this point?!

"Skeleton Demon, Yaksha Demon, Blood River Demon."

"Head to the human prison right away and discover precisely what's unfolding there."

"Maybe a group of human cultivators has broken free from captivity."

The Stone Demon promptly issued commands to the remaining three Combined Demons.

After all, as the ruler of the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, it wields command over all demons, and the rest are bound to follow.

"Heh heh, is there truly someone attempting a breakout in the prison?"

"What nerve, who would have the guts to storm the Cyan Stone Demon Cave for such a rescue?"

"Things have been dull around here; I never thought we'd get this kind of excitement."

"Come on, let's find out who's got such daring."

Upon hearing the directive, the three Combined Demons swiftly departed from their respective dwellings inside the Cyan Stone Demon Cave.

In the span of a mere instant, they reached the vicinity of the human containment area.

...

At the same time, Jiang Fan's form materialized close to the Demon Hall in the Cyan Stone Demon Cave.

Before him loomed a grand and imposing structure.

The whole edifice was fortified with intricate Restriction Arrays, inscribed with myriad contorted Demon Runes, and enveloped in ominous Demonic Qi that instilled deep dread and unease.

Without a doubt, the Cyan Stone Demon Cave's Demon Core lay buried deep inside this Demon Hall.

He knew full well that charging in without caution would spell instant doom.

Even armed with the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, a treasure from the Immortal Realm, forcing an entry would prove nearly impossible.

After all, this was the heart of the Demon Cave, no spot for a mere Divinity Transformation Cultivator to breach lightly.

Naturally, those formidable demons likely never imagined a human at the Divine level would dare venture into this forbidden zone, an act beyond precedent.

Boom~

Right then, the mighty demons surged toward the human prison area.

A fierce clash erupted without delay.

The whole Cyan Stone Demon Cave quaked violently, as though the skies and lands were convulsing, with spatial rifts echoing from every side, the earth splitting apart, and even the heavens tearing asunder.

Such was the fury of a Body Integration Realm confrontation.

At this realm, one qualifies as a true powerhouse in the Mortal World, able to shatter the cosmos with the slightest motion.

Despite the great distance, Jiang Fan could still feel the overwhelming might unleashed by the Integration Cultivator.

Venturing even slightly nearer could drag him into the shockwaves, leading to certain death.

"Good thing I moved fast."

Amid these horrifying battle surges, Jiang Fan felt profound gratitude.

His power lagged far behind the Integration Realm, utterly outmatched by foes of that caliber.

Surrounded by these beasts, the faintest hint of hostility could prove fatal.

Thankfully, those human cultivators had been freed.

Without their diversion easing the guard, he might never have gotten the opening to sneak toward the Demon Hall.

Boom~~~

Suddenly, fresh information flooded into the core of his mind.

"You've managed to liberate these human cultivators; their escape has drawn the gaze of countless demons from the Cyan Stone Demon Cave, rendering the Demon Hall more defenseless than ever before.

You're nearer to victory, yet caution remains essential, for a Combined Stone Demon lurks within the Demon Hall.

A single lapse could see you slain the instant you step inside, crushed by the Stone Demon like an insignificant insect.

"Destiny will provide you guidance."

"Destiny Hint One: The Demon Hall hides a Perception Array, and without Mahayana Cultivator prowess, evading its detection is impossible—it's among the key safeguards of the Demon Hall.

Under usual circumstances, bypassing this array proves unfeasible, but fear not, as the clash between human Integration Cultivators and Combined Demons will soon produce spillover effects that disrupt the Demon Hall.

That force will briefly jam the Perception Array, allowing you to grasp the instant and sneak into the Demon Hall, evading notice from the Combined Stone Demon."

"Destiny Hint Two: Gaining entry to the Demon Hall marks only the start; the true test lies in confronting the Combined Demon. Without overcoming it, destroying the Cyan Stone Demon Cave's Demon Core stays out of reach.

Luckily, you hold the Flag of Equality, a remarkable Immortal Artifact that lets the inferior triumph over the superior. Activating it will drop this Combined Demon's cultivation to the Divinity Transformation Level, offering your sole shot at eliminating this fiend—unleash everything and permit no counterattack."

"Destiny Hint Three: Should you fell the Combined Stone Demon, immediately wield the Human Emperor Sword to shatter the Cyan Stone Demon Cave's Demon Core, for other demons will quickly catch wind of the chaos here.

Any hesitation invites the arrival of additional Combined Demons, dooming your scheme and ensnaring the other human cultivators in ruinous failure."

Upon receiving this insight, Jiang Fan involuntarily tightened his grip.

Evidently, his scheme to penetrate the Cyan Stone Demon Cave brimmed with peril at every turn.

One misstep would doom him to oblivion, reduced to demon fodder.

In truth, his cultivation remained feeble, merely at the second layer of Divinity Transformation.

Much like a beginner tackling an advanced dungeon.

In normal times, success in such a trial would elude him entirely.

Yet through the might of Destiny Hints, a viable route to shatter the impasse emerged before him.

Still, navigating this route demanded utmost care.

The slightest error would bring a brutal end under demonic claws.

Nevertheless, Jiang Fan, tempered by endless dangers, had grown inured to such risks.

From the outset of his cultivation path, he'd frequently danced on the precipice of doom.

And such hazards were inevitable.

Having slain those Divinity Transformation Demons, failing to personally dismantle the Cyan Stone Demon Cave would unleash catastrophe, offering him no refuge in death.

"Does the Demon Hall truly harbor a Combined Demon?"

"Even in this pivotal hour, it stays put?"

"To the demons, safeguarding the Demon Core ranks supreme."

"It can never be forsaken, no matter the cost."

"Releasing those human cultivators wouldn't sway the Combined Demon from its post by the Demon Core."

"Direct battle seems unavoidable."

Jiang Fan raised an eyebrow.

He'd initially believed the horde of fleeing human cultivators would lure every demon into chase.

Yet clearly, the elite demons weren't so naive as to abandon their lair unguarded.

Vital spots continued under heavy watch by demons.

They too feared human cultivators might strike at the Demon Cave's critical zones.

"I must bide my time for the perfect opening."

"I'll hold position here and observe."

"The ideal moment ought to arrive shortly."

Jiang Fan steadied his nerves at once, suppressing his aura until he seemed erased from existence, undetectable even to demons brushing past.

They dismissed him entirely, as if he were mere empty space.

Numerous demons rushed to aid in assaulting the Ice Soul King and fellow human cultivators.

An epic showdown unfolded across the Cyan Stone Demon Cave like never before.

Booming~~~

High in the firmament, the Integration Great Powers collided fiercely, every blow unleashing cataclysmic force that rent the void, pulverized the terrain, and spawned devastating tempests.

Just as the forces met once more, a colossal wave of ruin slammed into the Demon Hall.

In a flash, the protective barrier enveloping the entire Demon Hall fractured like brittle crystal, riddled with fissures, and the palace itself began to splinter.

"The chance is here."

Witnessing this, Jiang Fan's gaze ignited with thrill.

Indisputably, this matched the window described in the Destiny Hints.

He'd truly awaited the flawless instant to creep unseen into the Demon Hall.

Whish!

With resolve firm, Jiang Fan wasted no time, invoking the Divine Skill of Shrinking Earth into Inches.

Nearly instantaneously, his silhouette vanished into the Demon Hall.
