Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1136 - 550: The Power of the Child of Destiny, the Might of the Human Emperor Sword (2)

Boom~~

In the very next instant, the whole Cangwu Immortal Mansion started quaking fiercely, while a streak of golden heavenly thunder shot forth from the emptiness, locking onto the mysterious being's aura without delay.

It slammed down at astonishing velocity in a blink.

The horrifying might of this heavenly retribution thunder exploded outward, utterly devastating and obliterating all in its path.

The nearby void cracked apart under the impact, forming a thick lattice of fissures.

Resembling a spider's web.

The being had no chance to resist, reduced to dust right away.

"At last, it's gone."

Witnessing this, the Mansion Spirit breathed a sigh of relief.

After scheming for three years, it had seized this perfect moment for a decisive strike.

That being's strength was truly formidable, yet even it couldn't endure the heavenly retribution thunder of Cangwu Immortal Mansion; the effort to call it forth hadn't been wasted.

Regrettably, after unleashing this strike, a repeat was beyond its reach.

After all, its current state was frail, far from its prime, and recovery would demand time.

Boom~~

Yet right then, the ashen remains of the being shockingly came back to life.

Innumerable black motes drifting in the void reconverged, reshaping into a dark silhouette.

"Haha, so this is your strongest move? Quite fearsome, no doubt."

"But slaying me, the Substitute Death Ghost, remains utterly impossible."

"You might not realize it yet, but I hold the power to substitute death."

"No matter a fatal blow, I keep reviving endlessly."

"Right now, I revive once more; how many such strikes can you muster again?"

The being burst into mocking laughter, brimming with arrogance.

It never imagined its scheme would succeed so flawlessly, luring the foe into acting so effortlessly.

That prior assault had been genuinely overpowering.

Not even this enigmatic being could survive the heavenly retribution thunder, proving its reputation as one of Cangwu Immortal Mansion's supreme arts.

Any other foe would perish inescapably against it.

Sadly for them, it was the Substitute Death Ghost, a bizarre existence gifted with perpetual revival.

Regardless of how often the enemy struck it down, it could rise again without end.

This very trait had prompted its mission to invade Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

Only something with such unmatched endurance could hope to fully corrupt the place.

"Revived once more?!"

Upon hearing this, the Mansion Spirit's expression twisted in shock, wholly caught off guard by the foe's power.

Despite exhaustive preparations, failure still struck.

One could only call the being too monstrous, a fitting creation of the Immortal Race as a weapon of war.

Eradicating it completely posed an immense challenge.

Needless to say, regrets offered no solutions here.

It had no way to foresee this revival ability beforehand.

Consequently, its ace had been played, yet the enemy stood unscathed.

Defeat in this clash was sealed for it.

And defeat's price was total destruction.

"Haha, your oversight isn't your fault."

"It's simply my overwhelming strength."

"Were this to repeat, you'd lose regardless."

"In all the world, none can end me, the Substitute Death Ghost."

The Substitute Death Ghost declared victoriously.

Victory was now assured; the Mansion Spirit posed no further threat.

Soon, the entirety of Cangwu Immortal Mansion would fall to its dominion.

"You might be counting your chickens too soon."

Just then, Jiang Fan uttered calmly.

A notification plunged straight into the depths of his mind.

"Destiny prompt: this being is a Substitute Death Ghost, which devours the flesh and souls of creatures to acquire substitution deaths, though its substitutions are finite.In these three years, it consumed the flesh and souls of countless cultivators who entered Cangwu Immortal Mansion, amassing ten substitution opportunities total, one spent, nine remaining.Yet every revival brings a vulnerable phase, the prime moment to finish it off."

Sensing this intel, Jiang Fan felt stunned within.

Though aware of the being's tricks, he hadn't anticipated such resilience.

Nine revivals left did seem outrageous.

Even eight more Mansion Spirit strikes like that wouldn't suffice.

Small wonder the being acted so smug.

With extra time to feast on more flesh and blood, its substitutions would only increase.

Rendering it even tougher to eliminate.

At the same moment, Jiang Fan grasped the reason behind the three-year delay: waiting for the Mansion Spirit to partially recover and slay the entity once.

After that single kill, the entity would fall into a weakened condition.

With this approach, even using his current strength, he could eliminate the entity for good.

Endless resurrections or not, it could never evade ultimate death.

"Human, what do you plan to do?"

"Damn, this is the Human Emperor Sword—how could an Immortal Artifact like this end up in your grasp?"

"Child of Destiny, you are the Child of Destiny for this era."

In that instant, the Substitute Death Ghost comprehended that its foe was not merely the Mansion Spirit, but also a enigmatic human Void Refining Cultivator.

It had planned to taunt the adversary at first, yet it was stunned to see the foe draw forth an Immortal Artifact.
