Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 963 - 451: Mahayana Realm Exotic Beast, Gain 30 Million Luck Points (Part 2)

The power of the ancestors cannot be permitted to leak into external hands.

Those bold enough to block its path are fated to meet their end.

Rumble~~

Suddenly, hordes of countless exotic beasts surged out from the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, advancing majestically towards Demon Flame City, gathering endless waves of beast hordes.

......

Of course, these disturbances were rapidly spotted by the human settlements, with Demon Flame City noticing them first, as the beasts barreled straight in its direction.

At once, numerous demon cultivators fell into chaos, clueless about the sudden turn of events.

"What on earth is going on? What's up with those beasts? Why have they popped up out of nowhere?"

"No idea, but those beasts look like they're on the hunt for something, relentlessly targeting human cultivators."

"Haha, they're nothing but a pack of exotic beasts, big deal?"

"Exactly, if they stayed tucked away in the Ice Crystal Mountain Range, we might've had trouble, but charging out like idiots is just begging for annihilation."

"You bet, the defenses of Demon Flame City are beyond what those beasts can grasp. This is prime time to bag a ton of them; it's been ages since I savored their meat."

"Idiotic beasts, they're surely heading straight for doom this round."

The demon cultivators buzzed with heated chatter.

Being savage and merciless themselves, always teetering on the brink of survival, they knew nothing of dread.

Confronted by the beast horde, they brimmed with thrill instead, viewing it as a golden chance.

After all, Demon Flame City stood protected by two Combined Demon Cultivators.

No matter the beasts' might, breaching Demon Flame City remained impossible for them.

Within merely three days, vast swarms of exotic beasts reached the outskirts of Demon Flame City.

They had distinctly detected the ancestral essence blood concealed inside this very city, igniting their rage.

Exotic beasts and humans were eternal foes, locked in endless cycles of mutual slaughter.

Deep-seated grudges scarred both sides.

Without wasting words on the human cultivators, they stormed headlong at Demon Flame City.

It resembled an enormous tide of beasts, crashing forward like a raging torrent.

Yet Demon Flame City proved no easy mark, swiftly igniting its grand array.

The whole city erupted into endless black flames, scorching across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.

Countless exotic beasts nearing Demon Flame City got incinerated alive, as droves of demon cultivators leaped into the fray.

The clash raged with brutal intensity.

Exotic beasts dropped one by one, while demon cultivators fell in equal measure.

The field of battle transformed into a relentless slaughterhouse.

With every passing instant, lives vanished in droves.

As for Jiang Fan, he lurked safely inside Demon Flame City.

Leveraging the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf's might, he flitted about like a spectral shadow, invisible to all.

He was merely observing the clash from afar, staying clear of the fray.

"Tsk tsk, such a savage showdown."

Jiang Fan, of course, sensed the ferocious combat raging beyond the city walls, where multiple Void Refining Cultivators unleashed their powers.

Each strike shattered the earth, sending ripples through the void.

It stirred his blood with excitement.

Still, the Combined Demon Cultivators overseeing Demon Flame City held back; no matter the fury of the fight, they displayed zero urge to intervene.

"Word is, Demon Flame City's masters are Demon Flame Daoist and Shadow Daoist, both Combined Demon Cultivators."

"Their fighting strength may not rival Daoist Xuan Yuan's, but together, they form a force not to be trifled with."

"However, the exotic beasts ruling the Ice Crystal Mountain Range are far more daunting."

"At least nine Combined-level exotic beasts lurk among them."

"It's these Combined-level exotic beasts that keep most human cities from rashly challenging them."

"After all, provoking their wrath could doom every human settlement in the region."

Jiang Fan narrowed his gaze.

Thanks to his clone in Profound Abyss City, he'd gathered plenty of intel on the local dynamics.

This region boasted no fewer than eight major human cities, counting Demon Flame City to make nine.

Even united, human might couldn't overpower the exotic beasts' dominance.

For their sheer numbers overwhelmed everything.

Humans multiplied too slowly to keep pace with these exotic beasts' breeding.

"That said, if those Integration-stage exotic beasts are deep in slumber, refining Immortal Beast remains, victory might be within reach."

"It does seem plausible."

"For the beasts, expanding territory means little; advancing their cultivation is key. A breakthrough would propel them to the Mahayana stage."

"Then, they could conquer the whole Ice Prison."

Jiang Fan pondered the schemes of those Integration-stage exotic beasts.

This likely mirrored the ambitions of countless Integration-stage cultivators in Ice Prison: the first to reach Mahayana would claim supremacy, ruling over all.

The tragedy lay in the immense barrier from Integration to Mahayana.

Most Integration cultivators lacked the talent to ascend to Mahayana.

Just like in the Great Xuan Dynasty, Integration experts abounded, yet Mahayana ones were rare gems.

Ice Prison probably followed suit.

But for Jiang Fan, such threats meant little.

Should a Mahayana-stage exotic beast emerge and endanger him, fleeing would be the wisest move.

Unlike Ice Prison's locals, he possessed an escape route.

"Now that the two forces have clashed, the fight won't end anytime soon."
