Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1037 - 504: Primordial Domain, Heart Demon Tribulation
Previously on Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World...
"At this point, I've finally entered the First-Layer of Void Refining for real."
Right then, Jiang Fan detected the ancient magical energy buried deep in his core, together with the vast divine sense strength, which had shifted dramatically from its prior state, surging over ten times stronger.
Even more crucial, the magical energy and divine sense power had merged seamlessly.
Just a single notion from him extended a domain spanning thousands of miles, enveloping the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands entirely.
Primordial Domain!
This domain incorporated diverse energies—gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and beyond. In essence, every aspect of his Life Talisman power was woven into the domain, rendering it utterly comprehensive.
When the primordial domain unfurls, an array of forces can be unleashed.
Simply put, any Life Talisman in his possession allows him to command that corresponding power.
It was like he could merge effortlessly with the myriad forces of heaven and earth.
The greater the integrated power, the mightier the primordial domain grows.
Under the sweep of his primordial domain, Jiang Fan sensed complete mastery over everything it touched.
He felt akin to a divine creator, nearly all-powerful.
With mere intent, he could shatter any creature inside the domain, radiating absolute dominance.
"Yet ahead lie the Heart Demon Tribulation and Thunder Tribulation still."
"Surviving both will secure my true advancement to Void Refining."
"Falling to the tribulations would spell absolute doom."
Jiang Fan's face grew gravely solemn.
For he perceived the Heart Demon Tribulation descending right at that instant.
Crack~~
A fracturing noise from ancient origins resounded through the emptiness, deep and resonant, as if myriad mountains tumbled down all at once.
Jiang Fan jerked his gaze upward, spotting how the overhead sky had unbeknownst torn apart into a malevolent fissure. This split resembled a fiend's gaze, with dense, ink-black fog seeping from its borders, where twisted runes shimmered endlessly, radiating a profoundly sinister vibe.
Moments later, the fissure widened swiftly before his eyes, the slim break swiftly evolving into a colossal chasm spanning the entire skyline. From its abyss erupted waves of unearthly shrieks, alien to this realm, brimming with ravenous hunger, feral brutality, and an urge to destroy.
Instantly, hordes of shadowy figures poured forth from the chasm, akin to a torrent bursting free, overwhelming the entire expanse. These forms varied wildly—some bore three heads and six limbs, each grip clutching a unique lethal armament that glinted with icy menace;
Others resembled churning blobs of tissue, studded with myriad eyes that fixed unblinkingly on the cultivators beneath; Yet more mimicked human shapes, yet with ashen visages, empty sockets, slobbering jaws, projecting a potent deathly presence. These were outer realm celestial demons, malevolent entities forged from the world's every dark emotion, sustaining on the essences of the living.
"How come so many Outer Celestial Demons have shown up?"
"Wasn't this supposed to be the Heart Demon Tribulation?"
Jiang Fan's brow furrowed deeply.
It diverged sharply from the Primordial Talisman Pen's accounts; the Heart Demon Tribulation here dwarfed its counterpart from the Ancient Era in potency.
This transcended a mere Heart Demon Tribulation—it was a full Celestial Demon Tribulation.
To put it plainly, these outer celestial demons outmatched internal heart demons in strength.
Beyond ensnaring a cultivator in perpetual deceptions,
They could consume the cultivator's soul amid the entrapment in those visions.
In a way, they embodied demonic essence.
Without question, his ascent to the Void Refinement Realm stirred these outer celestial demons into frenzy. They streamed through the void's breach, homing in on Jiang Fan's aura.
To these fiends, Jiang Fan represented the ultimate delicacy imaginable.
"A human cultivator is breaking through to Void Refining."
"Heh heh, after so many years, so many years, at last a cultivator reaches Void Refining."
"Without this human cultivator's breakthrough, we'd never pierce this world's barrier to invade."
"We have to devour him, devour him—the scent of this human cultivator's soul is utterly intoxicating."
"This human isn't some typical Void Refining cultivator; that soul aura is staggeringly potent, beyond belief."
"Devouring this human cultivator's soul might elevate us all to Demon Kings."
The outer realm celestial demons chattered in wild disarray, plunging into utter delirium.
The very second these celestial demons materialized, they erupted into frenzied gyrations across the void, performing a grotesque ritual of disorder.
They ripped into one another and feasted, unleashing shrill, mind-piercing cackles—sounds laced with uncanny sorcery, as though burrowing straight into the psyche.
Certain celestial demons spread enormous wings, darting amid the clouds and trailing inky streaks; others tumbled and leaped over the terrain, scattering dried foliage and pulverized stones;
More formed rings, initiating a primordial wicked ritual, intoning chants like performers of some horrific rite.
"This..."
A chill gleam flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes.
The vista ahead began warping and fading from his view, the shrieks and guffaws in his ears receding into faint echoes, supplanted by echoes of the known.
Visions assailed him of Osmanthus Village once more, where he failed to shield Su Weiwei, resulting in her slaughter by the Dragon King Gang's thugs. She arose as a wrathful specter, her features twisted in bitter accusation toward him;
It was as though he revisited bygone eras, with foes he'd slain extending bony claws, seeking to haul him into eternal depths.
