Cultivation Starts from Farming Chapter 917 - 403: Slaying the Late-Stage Ancient Demons (Part 2)

"Looks like to fend off this magical calamity, some real abilities must be unleashed this time."

After brief reflection, a fierce murderous glint surged in Xu Ping’s eyes.

Letting this opportunity slip would mean forfeiting it entirely.

After the calamity concludes and ancient demons are exiled or eradicated, acquiring such vast quantities of Nirvana Blood would become impossible again.

Furthermore, while battling the magical calamity, plenty of Late-Stage Nascent Soul human cultivators stand ready to aid in fights, slashing the dangers and challenges of pursuing mighty ancient demons.

Regarding the fallout from exposing certain powers, Xu Ping harbors little concern.

Given his present divine abilities, no idiot in this outer sea would dare come after him.

Besides, during this pivotal crisis with foes pressing close, showcasing immense power would gain greater admiration and dependence from fellow cultivators, boosting his standing and fame.

With these thoughts, Xu Ping’s mind slowly settled.

...

Time sped by, and soon another month elapsed in a flash.

During this period, unrest from the Ancient Demon Hall intensified, with denser demonic qi spilling forth.

That day.

Thick clouds blanketed the sky, fierce winds whipped the sea, as though heaven and earth felt the looming catastrophe.

Demonic qi at the Ancient Demon Hall’s entrance reached boiling peak, the thick black demonic qi nearly solid, churning and bellowing like scalding liquid.

The enormous vortex abruptly contracted, then burst outward with a thunderous blast.

"Roar! Howl!"

Twin horrifying demonic bellows thundered across the area.

A crushing Late-Stage Nascent Soul aura, brimming with savagery, ruin, and avarice, swept over God Burying Bay like a solid tidal wave.

Myriad low-tier ancient demons, pumped like with stimulants, madly rushed the array.

Human cultivators paled at once, weaker ones staggering and struggling to grip their magical treasures.

"They’re here!"

Inside the spirit vessel’s chamber, Xu Ping ended his closed-eye meditation, eyes snapping open like bolts of lightning!

He vanished in a blur without delay, flickering away like a specter.

The instant after.

Five brilliant escape rays rocketed from the spirit vessel, converging over the array’s barrier.

Xu Ping, Xuanmo True Monarch, and three more had arrived.

All eyes locked on two colossal, malevolent forms that had solidified at the demonic qi gushing portal.

One looked like a colossal crocodile sporting three tails, armored in jet-black bone spurs, fangs dense as woods, radiating sickening rot and dissolving fumes.

The other mimicked a thousandfold enlarged corpse centipede, shell etched with warped human visages, myriad compound eyes gleaming hungrily, propelled by countless legs.

These two ancient demons’ presences outstripped in ferocity and power the three-headed, six-armed demon ape Xu Ping once felled inside the Ancient Demon Hall.

Undoubtedly, elite forces at Late-Stage Nascent Soul tier.

As the pair of demon overlords howled in frenzy, claws slashing, poised to drive the demon horde against the array’s frail spots.

"Take action!"

No extra chatter, Xuanmo True Monarch’s gaze ignited with dark demonic glow, barking commandingly.

The five silhouettes morphed into vivid lightning bolts, slicing through their own array barrier with ease, charging forward.

Unbridled Late-Stage Nascent Soul might erupted, akin to five towering holy peaks smashing into the tidal demonic force.

Combat zone kept purposefully by the roiling front of the Ancient Demon Army.

Instantly, dazzling spell lights furiously battled abyssal demonic qi, flaring and detonating.

Dreadful shockwaves raged outward like a ruinous tempest!

"Roar!"

"Boom!"

The massive crocodile ancient demon lashed its three tails, carving warped black fissures.

They slammed against Xuanmo True Monarch’s myriad shadow chains and Master Shuidi’s axe-summoned gale that shattered peaks and cleaved oceans, yielding ear-splitting metal shrieks and power wails.

Meanwhile, the corpse centipede demon lord’s legion of legs sliced the sky, verdant toxic fog acting alive, voraciously eating at True Monarch Wu Ya’s pristine light barrier.

At the same time, the myriad distorted human faces across its shell unleashed shrill, soul-piercing shrieks that rattled the mind.

Shan Tianyou’s Mystic Water Treasure Mirror blazed with radiant light, straining to impede its advance, as the mirror’s beams scraped against the demonic form, creating a grating, teeth-grinding "ziz" noise.

Intense azure glow erupted from Master Shuidi’s figure, pulling in boundless seawater to instantly forge a colossal ocean.

This seawater brimmed with potent Water Element Power of Laws, every single drop bearing the weight of a mountain.

Xu Ping shone as the undisputed brightest star amid the battlefield right then.

"Slash!"

Xu Ping shaped his fingers into a sword, his tone freezing cold.

The seventy-three magic swords buzzed and quivered, centered around the Canghua Divine Wood Sword, swiftly erecting a colossal Sword Domain spanning thousands of feet.

Inside the Sword Array, a self-contained realm took shape, where ceaseless razor-sharp Sword Qi emerged and faded, obliterating anything that dared enter.

It securely pinned the gigantic corpse centipede demon lord’s body in place, while deliberately aligning the Sword Domain’s rim with the churning demonic surge beneath.

Ch-ch-ch-ch!

As though a searing blade slicing through firm butter.

Myriad low-level ancient demons—even certain third-level ancient demons—were promptly diced apart, dissolved, and erased by the ever-present, invincible Five Elements Sword Qi upon nearing the Sword Domain’s boundary.

They lacked even a moment to wail before crumbling into the purest demonic qi particles.

The Sword Domain’s sweep left the demonic tide utterly cleared by an invisible massive plow, instantly carving out a vast empty zone.
