The Primordial Ruins trembled as dark purple celestial light pierced the dome, awakening eight Ancient Demons from their millennial slumber: the Earth-Splitting Demon Ox, Bone-Winged Demon Roc, Venom Gland Demon Dragon, Profound Ice Demon Ao, Thunder Horn Demon Rhino, Bloodfang Demon Leopard, Nether Sound Demon Serpent, and Ten Thousand Gu Demon Mother. These demons devoured surrounding corpses, purifying the land while reveling in their revival and plotting to regain strength by consuming human cultivators. Noting the absence of the sealed Six-winged Tiger Demon, they resolved to enter the tenth Secret Realm World via a spatial node to escape the ruins.

"Following the elders' commands, we must slay the creatures of this era within the Void Realm, so no more wasting time here—let’s rush out immediately."

"The elders' orders reign supreme."

Within the profound void, wisps of demon thoughts entangled, conversing among themselves.

Though these Ancient Demons resided in separate Secret Realm Worlds, their demon thoughts pierced through the void, enabling direct exchanges.

This represented a special ability unique to these Ancient Demons.

Akin to radio waves.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!!!

Soon enough, the Ancient Demons located the space nodes belonging to their respective Secret Realm Worlds.

Their forms flickered, swiftly plunging into the tenth Secret Realm World.

This place was simultaneously the core Inheritance Land of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

"Cackle cackle, never thought we’d infiltrate the Primordial Talisman Sect’s Inheritance Land with such ease."

"Exactly, before this, we wore ourselves out just to crumble in the outer areas."

"Indeed, without the elder’s aid, we’d likely still be stuck in resurrection failure."

"A trivial human sect—how could it possibly rival us?"

"How awe-inspiring: once-mighty human sects from antiquity are now mere relics, while we endure forever."

Right then, a horde of Ancient Demons invaded the Primordial Talisman Sect’s Inheritance Land, beholding its dilapidated ruins.

Smug delight appeared on every face.

No surprise they brimmed with such thrill and joy.

The Ancient Era’s war had been brutally grueling, after all.

Particularly the climactic clash, where both factions battled with unimaginable ferocity.

Countless demons met gruesome ends slain by human cultivators and True Spirits.

Truth be told, there had been an instant when they feared defeat for their side.

Yet regardless, victory was ultimately theirs in the end.

To this day, the Void Realm persists.

Meanwhile, those ancient sects and powers lie utterly eradicated.

But they endured.

Judging by the results, despite the steep toll, triumph was achieved.

Now, once they escape this place, their apocalypse scheme could unfold.

The world’s inhabitants stood no chance against this demonic onslaught.

"You’ve finally shown up."

Suddenly, a voice resounded through the void.

What?!

The declaration stunned the Ancient Demons, who gazed upward to spot a human silhouette materializing in the sky at some point.

This figure blended seamlessly with the void, resembling a deity, radiating fearsome pressure that spanned millions of kilometers via immense Domain Power.

Even as Ancient Demons, they sensed crushing weight in that instant.

Like bearing an enormous mountain.

Naturally, the arrival was Jiang Fan.

Having briefly stabilized his Cultivation, he raced straight to the Primordial Talisman Sect’s Inheritance Land, biding the perfect chance.

No need to hunt these Ancient Demons individually.

After all, their exit demanded passage through this core hub, the Inheritance Land.

By positioning here, he could net all the revived Ancient Demons at once.

"A human? One dares lurk here?"

"Perhaps a survivor from the Primordial Talisman Sect?"

"This human’s a Void Refining Cultivator—Cultivation looks rather impressive."

"Word was this era’s human cultivators topped at Divinity Transformation—what’s this Void Refining about?"

"No concern whatsoever; merely an early Void Refining human, utterly dismissible."

"Correct, fresh from resurrection or not, crushing a feeble human Void Refining is a breeze."

"This human Void Refining shows guts, sensing our presence yet charging in—seeking death?"

"I detect boundless vital energy surging in this human; devouring him raw would swiftly rebuild our Cultivation—delivered meal on a platter, splendid!"

The Ancient Demons eyed Jiang Fan with ravenous greed.

They perceived his body brimmed with unbelievably abundant vital energy.

To them, he resembled a millennium-old Spirit Medicine.

Consuming this cultivator promised boundless gains.

All itched to pounce, yearning to gobble him whole.

Boom~~

Abruptly, eight Ancient Demons lunged at Jiang Fan without a second thought.

Dreadful black beams hurtled toward him.

These dark rays consisted of twisted Demon Runes fused into form.

Upon launch, they warped the void, streaking at unimaginable velocity.

Striking foes, they’d not just shred bodies but erode souls and flesh alike—the innate corrosive might of demons.

"Pathetic weakness."

Confronting the assault, Jiang Fan stayed calm and unmoved, as expected; he promptly unleashed his Lifebound Talisman.

Heavenless Umbrella Talisman!

The talisman morphed into a colossal umbrella, shielding every angle.

Intricate Immortal Realm runes surfaced on it, exuding strands of Immortal Qi.

A mighty Barrier enveloped him, forging unbreakable protection.

Beneath the Heavenless Umbrella, security enveloped him utterly, as though nothing could breach it.

Boom~~

Moments later, the Ancient Demons’ strikes slammed into the Heavenless Umbrella, all repelled entirely, leaving Jiang Fan unscathed inside.

Yet this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman’s prowess extended beyond mere shielding; it wielded reflection too.

In a flash, the black beams rebounded off the Heavenless Umbrella.

Returning with equal swiftness to their origin.

Boom!

Within a heartbeat, the dark rays reversed onto the Ancient Demons, piercing their forms with ease, unleashing searing agony throughout.

A single counterblow left these Ancient Demons gravely injured.

They’d never foreseen their own strikes rebounding upon them.

Tables completely turned.

"That’s the Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman—Heavenless Umbrella Talisman!"

"Curse this wretched human—how did you master an Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman?"

"The famed Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talisman—impossible for a lowly cultivator like you!"

"Even Primordial Talisman Sect cultivators back then failed to grasp the Heavenless Umbrella Talisman."

"A survivor without doubt—this must be a Primordial Talisman Sect remnant to wield the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talisman."

Shock rippled through the Ancient Demons, profound astonishment gripping them.

Hailing from ancient times, they’d clashed with Primordial Talisman Sect cultivators and knew the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talisman well; this Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman had inflicted severe wounds upon them.

Hence, its memory burned deep.

They’d assumed, after countless years, the Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman was lost to history.

Even preserved, mastering it seemed improbable.

Yet here emerged a human Void Refining Cultivator brandishing the Thirty-Three Celestial Spirit Talisman.

Greatly startling them, stirring deep unease.

Undoubtedly, such human cultivators threatened demons like them immensely.

Murderous intent surged forth fiercely.

No matter what, this human Void Refining Cultivator could not leave alive.

Else, he’d emerge as their paramount obstacle.

Still, Jiang Fan offered no replies to the Ancient Demons’ queries.

No words to share with these Ancient Demons.

Positions diametrically opposed—only one side survives.

He triggered his second Lifebound Talisman.

Heaven-Time Talisman!

A horrifying Immortal Realm Spirit Talisman harnessing time’s might.

Instantly, a temporal scroll expanded, blanketing a hundred-mile radius.

Time within froze solid.

Every Ancient Demon’s form locked rigid in that frozen instant.
