Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1045 - 508: The Power of Void Refining Cultivators, Annihilating Nine Clans

One day later.

Southern Continent, Mist Mountain Range.

Blood Demon Mountain.

As the wind blows over Blood Demon Mountain, it invariably brings along tiny grains of red sand, which strike the earth with a sharp 'sasha' noise, resembling innumerable parched finger bones softly knocking.

Should anyone gaze upward, they would see that the whole mountain range has hardened into a crimson hue, stretching from base to summit, without any trace of alternative shades in the rocky fragments blanketing the terrain.

Upon treading on it, the unbound sand slips into the gaps of one's footwear, delivering an oddly heated sensation, akin to walking across a basin of fresh blood, and applying slight force produces a 'squeaking' noise from below, as though pulverizing old bones into powder.

The heavens remain perpetually enveloped in a gloomy red haze of clouds, and whenever rays of sun break through, they get sifted into dim bloody patches, scattering over the sand, giving the impression that the entire peak is gradually streaming.

On the cliffs of the mountain, no ordinary plants can be seen; merely contorted dark-brown brambles tenaciously emerge from the fissures in the scarlet stone, bearing desiccated corpses of birds and animals caught on their barbs, swinging to and fro with the breeze, their silhouettes projecting onto the crimson sand like spectral figures in motion.

The atmosphere hangs heavy with an intense metallic tang blended with the odor of rot, provoking a heavy pain in the bosom upon breathing it into the body.

From time to time, a faint 'thud thud' rumble echoes inside the mountain, similar to an enormous heart pounding beneath the surface; each pulse sends small crimson sand particles tumbling down the slopes, creating meandering paths on the floor that look like congealed blood marks.

Currently, a large group of demon cultivators has assembled at the summit of Blood Demon Mountain.

Upon the peak stands a colossal altar.

In the middle of the altar lies a pulsating heart, its exterior etched with thick clusters of sinister demonic runes.

A single look appears capable of consuming one's spirit.

With each thump of this heart, the nearby demon cultivators experience surges of fear.

Overwhelmingly oppressive.

'Is this truly the heart of the ancient Blood Demon? Absolutely horrifying; it feels like even a tiny spark of life could wipe us out completely without a remnant.'

'Yes, even after losing its essence, merely absorbing a single drop of blood would revive it right away.'

'No question, this is the mighty demon, an eternal and unbreakable entity, though gravely wounded, it remains impossible for foes to slay.'

'This is precisely our aim as demon cultivators; if we refine our demonic arts to great depths, we can also become eternal, unbreakable demons.'

'Hehehe, if that's the reality, it would be magnificent; be it humans or demons, attaining eternal life makes everything worthwhile.'

Countless demon cultivators stared intensely at the blood demon heart positioned in the altar's core.

For them, it represents the supreme aspiration.

By persistently advancing the levels of their demonic arts, they too can acquire the various powers possessed by demons.

Perhaps even evolve into eternal demons.

This explains their pursuit of demonic cultivation paths.

Should they have practiced standard cultivation arts, considering their talents, reaching Foundation Establishment would prove challenging.

Much less progressing to their current stages.

'Are the offerings prepared?'

'Naturally, they've been ready for ages; this endeavor has taken ten thousand years from us.'

'Once Lord Blood Demon awakens, he will definitely guide our Demon Dao to revival, and the realm will fall to Demon Dao; we'll cease being pursued like fugitives by those self-righteous cultivators.'

'This affair hasn't been noticed by the righteous cultivators, right? Their meddling would surely bring major complications.'

'Don't worry, we've been extremely careful; the righteous ones remain clueless, and they wouldn't risk entering the Mist Mountain Range anyway.'

'Exactly, the fog around here brims with deadly poisons; the moment those righteous cultivators breathe a trace, they'll drop dead from toxin, incurable.'

'This domain belongs to our Demon Dao; why would those fools even think of coming in?'

'Frankly, I never thought resurrecting Lord Blood Demon would go this easily.'

'True, it's tied to the Spiritual Energy Revival; in the past, demon cultivators tried to bring back Lord Blood Demon, yet all failed despite using offerings.'

'Indeed, the nearest brush with success reportedly triggered heavenly wrath, striking down numerous demon cultivators with bolts, but nowadays, with the world's shifts, heavenly punishment is absent.'

'Enough talk, let's start at once; I'm impatient.'

Demon cultivators from Heart Demon Sect, Six Desires Sect, Blood Demon Sect, and others chatted without end.

All of them burned with desire to resurrect the ancient Blood Demon right before their eyes.

...'

Meanwhile, a silhouette quietly materialized close to Blood Demon Mountain.

Not a single nearby demon cultivator could sense this individual at all.

He seemed to blend seamlessly into the emptiness, rendering spiritual sense probes by demon cultivators completely futile.

The arrival was Jiang Fan.

'A true gathering of fiends,' he commented.

By extending his divine sense, Jiang Fan immediately perceived every cultivator across a million kilometers.

Almost none could evade his awareness.

Furthermore, the cultivation levels of these demon cultivators were fairly average, featuring no more than three Divinity Transformation Demon Cultivators.

Besides that, hundreds of Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators were there.

Such strength could readily handle typical sects.

However, to him as a Void Refining Cultivator, it amounted to nothing.

The sole potential danger to him was the ancient Blood Demon.

This eternal and unbreakable Blood Demon is truly immensely terrifying.
