Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 976 - 457: Heavenly Destiny Artifact, Empowered by the Power of the Heavenly Dao (2)
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
As soon as this Immortal Artifact emerged, the whole Spirit Ruins Realm started to shake violently, as if it were evolving into a Heavenly Destiny Artifact.
From the depths of the void, boundless human Destiny along with Heavenly Dao Destiny flowed endlessly into the Human Emperor Sword.
It appeared that right then, this Immortal Artifact was shouldering the limitless destiny of the entire realm, embodying the fate of the whole world.
Boom~~
In a flash, the longsword burst forth with boundless golden radiance, expanding outward and holding the might to banish every curse and shadow.
The shadowy aura and sinister vibes that had been surging wildly from every side started melting away when they touched the golden glows, while letting out crackling noises at the same time.
Right at that instant, it was like this stretch of space-time had frozen in place.
"No way; this is the Heavenly Destiny Artifact."
"He's just a human at Divinity Transformation, so how can he hold the Heavenly Destiny Artifact?"
"Shouldn't the Heavenly Destiny Artifact be with the Human Emperor? How did this fellow acquire it, and what in the world occurred?"
The horde of eerie beings felt utter terror, quaking in utter disbelief.
They understood perfectly the sheer dread of the Heavenly Destiny Artifact, a Magical Treasure crafted from the primal energy across all Great Thousand Worlds, laden with the realm's Destiny.
When a Magical Treasure like that unleashes its might, it's like facing off against the full force of the world itself.
The Heavenly Destiny Artifacts vary across different realms.
Certain realms boast a mirror, others a cauldron, some a halberd, and the like.
Usually, these Heavenly Destiny Artifacts end up in the grasp of the Child of Destiny.
For example, the Heavenly Destiny Artifact of the Spirit Ruins Realm belongs to the Emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
How on earth did this human Cultivator standing before them seize it?!
The eerie beings couldn't grasp the reason and lacked the moment to dwell on it.
For the might of the Human Emperor Sword was already slamming down upon them.
Boom!
With a single slash, a fearsome golden sword beam targeted each and every eerie being.
It felt as though this blade was cleaving the entire world apart.
The burden borne by each sword beam equaled the strength of the complete world.
One could say this strike was simply the Heavenly Dao using Jiang Fan's hand to deliver the blow.
Much like a divine retribution.
Boom!
These eerie beings possessed no means to fight back, and even their apparently unbreakable eerie cores crumbled into powder beneath the sword's force.
It was like they got utterly consumed by the force of divine retribution, vanishing into oblivion.
"They're gone, those eerie beings are truly gone at last."
At that point, the artifact spirit of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall detected that all the eerie beings tainting its core had perished; it felt immediate elation, as though it had just dodged a fatal end.
Truth be told, it had genuinely thought its fate was sealed, that its consciousness would get warped by the eerie beings, turning it into a mere tool.
It had even steeled itself to go down fighting alongside the foes.
Who could have imagined that this human Divinity Transformation Cultivator who popped up out of nowhere actually had the power to eliminate eerie beings, filling it with boundless delight, like being rescued by a true hero.
That said, even with all this, it wouldn't accept this human as its owner.
Its true master remained the Immortal King of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall.
Still, since this human had aided it, it could afford to bestow upon him a fine treasure.
For a mere mortal like him, that would mark a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of fortune, right?
"Mortal, you've performed admirably."
"To possess the skill to slay these eerie beings, you've gained the alliance of my Ten Thousand Treasures Hall."
"Bend your knee, and claim the boon from the Immortal King of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall."
The voice of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall rang out, dripping with haughtiness.
Just as if an exalted Immortal were bestowing gifts upon a lowly mortal.
Boom~~
Right then, Jiang Fan's form blurred, speeding straight to the front of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, extending a massive hand to grasp the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall.
At the same instant, he burned through a massive chunk of his Luck Points.
Five million, ten million, fifteen million, twenty million Luck Points...
Suddenly, a cryptic force surged into the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, plunging right to the heart of the Immortal Artifact, the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall.
This energy proved utterly overbearing and merciless, brushing aside any consent from the artifact spirit of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, whether willing or not, and morphing into bindings reminiscent of Heavenly Dao chains, fully subduing the inner core.
"What's going on? What in blazes do you plan to do to the mighty Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, you wretched human?"
"Curse you, you're not seriously trying to claim my grand Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, are you? What nonsense."
"I'm an Immortal Artifact; the Lifebound Magical Treasure of the Immortal King."
"A puny Mortal Cultivator dares to claim me and meddle with an Immortal Artifact?!"
The artifact spirit of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall brimmed with shock and rage, utterly incensed.
This felt like fleeing a wolf's jaws only to stumble into a tiger's den.
I'm the supreme Magical Treasure of the Immortal King; at my peak, my strength could rattle the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Regular Immortals would prostrate themselves, pleading for the Immortal King's favor.
Yet this insignificant Mortal Cultivator has the gall to behave so boldly, trying to forcibly claim me.
This is nothing short of a toad lusting after swan flesh, or a beggar dreaming of wedding a Princess.
No one's ever witnessed such bold, foolhardy souls.
It summoned its inner Origin Energy, striving to shatter this intruder's refining force entirely, while pushing back against him.
But it had just endured a brutal clash for survival against the eerie beings, draining every last reserve of its power.
Even if it yearned to strike back, it lacked the vitality to manage it.
It was akin to the helpless Little Dragon Maiden in paralysis, left open for anyone to toy with at will.
