Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 918 - 461: Heavenly Merit Descends, Boundless Destiny

Boom~~

Without a second's delay, Jiang Fan unleashed his strike, skipping any pointless talk with the fiend.

He understood full well that the foe was just buying time.

Backup from the enemy's side might show up anytime now.

Lingering too long in this fight would spell disaster for him.

Should more Combined Demons appear, his fate would be sealed.

After all, the Flag of Equality's might could only activate once.

Activating it anew meant waiting a full twenty years.

Thus, this stood as his sole shot at slaying this Combined Demon, and he couldn't afford to let it slip.

Bang!

Right away, the Human Emperor Sword's force burst forth, unleashing a brilliant golden blade beam that raced ahead with astonishing velocity, seeming ready to cleave the heavens apart.

"It's finished."

The Stone Demon's expression paled in dread, as it attempted to resist and evade, yet its current frailty at the Divinity Transformation Level left it helpless.

Against the might of an Immortal Artifact, escape proved impossible.

Even as the golden blade beam came into view, its horrifying Sword Aura had already descended upon it.

Boom~~

The following instant brought the sensation of its sturdy Stone Demon form being sliced open by the blade beam, divided cleanly into two parts with the ease of slicing soft bean curd.

Simultaneously, the Human Emperor Sword's devastating energy detonated, carrying the force to wipe out all existence.

In a mere flash, its very soul got utterly erased, without a single remnant left.

A colossal demon corpse sprawled on the floor, radiating thick Demonic Qi that appeared poised to corrupt anything nearby.

"Dead? So simply, a Combined Demon met its end?"

The Demon-Vibrating Bell stood stunned for a moment, struggling to accept the reality.

It was well aware of a Combined Demon's fearsome nature; such beings were almost unkillable, and even a Mahayana Cultivator's assault might allow the demon to flee.

Yet here, its master—a mere Divinity Transformation Cultivator—had slain a Combined Demon outright.

Word of this spreading would undoubtedly shake the entire realm.

Back in the Ancient Era's Void Realm, it would leave myriad cultivators in awe, nothing short of a legend.

Truly, the key to its master's victory over the Combined Demon lay in the strength of two Immortal Artifacts.

Crucially, these two Immortal Artifacts had been claimed by its master, counting as part of its master's own prowess.

If that didn't qualify as a monumental deed, what would?

Before, it had been certain its master was destined for legendary status, and now that conviction grew as its master carved out fame with such astonishing exploits.

"Just a puny Combined Demon, nothing special."

"Even a Mahayana Realm Demon showing up wouldn't stand a chance against the master."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron boasted with pride.

It lacked precise knowledge of a Body Integration Realm Demon's strength.

Regardless, anyone daring to challenge its master deserved nothing but death.

That much was obvious.

"Oh my, securing the remains of a Body Integration Realm Demon."

"Refining it fully would yield so much Spiritual Soil."

"What a massive stroke of luck."

The Exquisite Tower buzzed with thrill, swiftly pulling the enormous Body Integration Realm corpse into storage, depositing it within the second level of its inner world.

To typical cultivators, a demon corpse posed only danger, but to it, such a find ranked as a heavenly treasure, akin to heaps of ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicines, capable of transforming refuse into riches.

Without question, this harvest ranked as enormous.

Boom~~

Right then, the Flag of Equality dropped to the earth, its vivid crimson light fading away in a blink, and the Equality Domain vanishing completely.

Evidently, the fierce clash had drained much of its power.

Swoosh!

With a flick of his wrist, Jiang Fan collected the Immortal Artifact, viewing it as a vital hidden asset, even with its twenty-year cooldown between uses, which remained quite potent.

Particularly against foes too strong to handle, deploying the Flag of Equality offered a shot at reversal.

Under normal circumstances, felling this Combined Demon would have been out of reach for him.

Yet, aided by the Flag of Equality, the unattainable became achievable.

Now, his eyes shifted toward the palace's inner sanctum, where a huge Demon Core rested, etched with intricate Demon Patterns and brimming with fearsome Magic Energy, serving as the heart of the whole Demon Cave.

One could argue that the demons' rapid corruption of this realm stemmed directly from the Demon Cave's presence.

Burrowed deep into the soil, the Demon Cave voraciously absorbed from every direction, tainting the terrain.

Moreover, demons dwelling inside the Demon Cave gained even tougher Undying Bodies.

Absent the Demon Cave, demons couldn't consume the world at such a breakneck pace.

Naturally, shattering the Demon Cave would strike a heavy blow against the demons.

After all, growing a fresh Demon Cave demanded great effort from them.

"Human, what do you plan to do exactly?"

"Don't do anything reckless."

"If you strike at me, you'll become the demons' sworn enemy."

"Not just you, but your whole clan will face ruin—have you thought about that?"

Suddenly, a voice echoed with feigned toughness.

It came from the Demon Cave.

No surprise there, as it qualified as a living demon.

However, its strengths leaned toward protection and aid, not direct assault.
