Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 927 - 465: Effortless Crossing the Tribulation, Obtaining the Third-Grade Opportunity

Naturally, the one who showed up was Jiang Fan.

As soon as he got the signal from fate's warning, Jiang Fan swiftly used Shrinking Earth into Inches to rush over to the spot.

Moments later, a band of fleeing individuals came into view, totaling no less than seventy or eighty, of all ages and sizes.

Far off in the distance, fearsome exotic beasts pursued them relentlessly, their numbers already reaching dozens.

Ten among that pack were at the Divinity Transformation Level, while the others operated at Nascent Soul Level.

This overwhelming might could squash the fleeing group flat in mere moments.

Clearly, if Jiang Fan hadn't intervened, doom awaited these escapees at the claws of those exotic beasts.

"Interesting."

"This marks the pivotal shift in your destiny, and in mine too."

Jiang Fan gazed pensively at the far-off cluster of escapees, noting how his presence had utterly erased the ominous death aura enveloping them.

"Master, these exotic beasts possess incredibly potent blood qi."

"They probably outmatch demon beasts at the same level in strength."

The Demon-Vibrating Bell spoke gravely.

It detected the extraordinarily dense blood qi within these exotic beasts, far surpassing that of equivalent demon beasts.

Truth be told, encountering such mighty exotic beasts was a first for it—absolutely baffling.

These creatures clearly didn't belong to the Mortal World at all.

"Still, with blood qi that dense, devouring them could yield benefits like those of a Treasure Medicine."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron declared with enthusiasm.

It perceived hidden treasures within these exotic beasts.

Should he take them all down, their scales, claws, and various components could forge Magical Treasures, acting as vital ingredients.

Their meat and blood might also get processed into all sorts of Treasure Medicines.

Such results would rival standalone Elixirs in potency.

"True enough, their bloodlines carry a distinctive quality."

"They seem like a variant of demons too."

The Demon Refining Pot likewise noticed the odd traits of these exotic beasts, perfect for refining their meat and blood.

"Roar!"

Right then, the herd of exotic beasts unleashed a thunderous roar, their savage bloodlust surging uncontrollably, even though the abrupt human cultivator in their path looked daunting.

Yet with their sheer numbers and the element of surprise, this lone human surely couldn't stand against them.

Besides, the mightier the cultivator, the tastier his flesh seemed to promise.

To these beasts, he represented a premium feast without question.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

In a flash, the exotic beasts lunged at Jiang Fan, moving at blistering speeds that turned them into pale blurs.

Without doubt, their velocity and power ranked supreme.

Typical Divinity Transformation Cultivators probably couldn't survive even one clash with them.

They'd get eradicated in seconds, vanishing without a remnant.

To Jiang Fan, however, they posed no real threat.

"Courting death."

As the pack of exotic beasts barreled ahead, a icy glint flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes, and he promptly triggered the talisman upon himself.

Heaven-Stealing Claw Talisman!

Boom~~

At once, the nearby Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi turned turbulent, with the talisman's hidden motifs flaring to life, morphing into a shadowy gray form that tore through the emptiness.

No longer spreading softly, the gray vapor churned like boiling ink, coiling and condensing to form a gigantic gray talon suspended in the air—its keen edges gleamed with frosty menace, as though forged from ancient ice, bones faintly outlined yet veiled in hazy gray, radiating a sinister vibe that swallowed everything in its path.

The arcane symbols etched on the talon grew sharper in focus, flickering in and out of sight, seeming to hold the essence of a Divine Beast forged by the cosmos itself, much like the claw of a Beast God.

Swoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the gray talon struck with blinding swiftness, attaining Shrinking Earth into Inches velocity without a trailing shadow.

The savage exotic beasts had no chance to respond before the talon crashed down like a toppling peak.

A mere clench mimicked a Beast God's blow, packing devastating might to pulverize peaks and rend boulders, the claw's edge harboring a latent sharpness like an apocalyptic surge.

Leading the charge, several Divinity Transformation Level exotic beasts sensed dire peril, fur bristling as they scrambled to flee, but escape proved impossible now.

Not even full cries escaped their maws before the talon’s points made contact, bodies disintegrating bit by bit—tough scales shredded like flimsy bits, sturdy legs exploding into bloody lumps, the rich blood qi blending into the gray haze to cast shadows over the area.

The surviving exotic beasts fell into utter panic, scattering wildly yet trapped in the claw's sweeping qi wave.

Though the qi seemed ethereal, it bore a piercing edge that tore at souls, leaving the score of colossal beasts—each spanning ten zhang—merely halfway in retreat before their hulking forms bisected cleanly, cuts as polished as glass, innards and skeletons pulverized into gore.

Unspent momentum from the talon pressed on, unleashing cataclysmic force as it hammered the earth. "Boom——" An earth-shattering blast, akin to celestial wrath, thundered nearby.

The ground quaked fiercely, fissures like tangled webs radiating from the strike's core, racing out hundreds of zhang instantly, their abyssal depths swallowed in darkness.

Within moments, the pursuing dozens of exotic beasts fell to that one claw strike, none slipping away, all mangled into bloody remnants.
