Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1137 - 550: The Power of the Child of Destiny, the Might of the Human Emperor Sword (Part 3)

Human Emperor Sword—the Heavenly Destiny Artifact!

Right away, its form started quivering violently.

No ordinary Void Refining Cultivator's strength could possibly slay it.

Yet the Human Emperor Sword stands apart.

This Immortal Artifact's inherent power specifically counters their eerie nature, inflicting massive harm upon them.

Even more critical, it had perished once moments ago, now trapped in a phase of frailty with barely any power left in its body.

Should this human, a mere Void Refining Cultivator, wield the Human Emperor Sword, he could still end me.

Without question, this human cultivator poses a mortal threat to their entire kind.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the Substitute Death Ghost sensed an imminent deadly peril, realizing that lingering here would spell certain disaster. Escape was imperative to survive this vulnerable stage.

After regaining full strength, it would return to obliterate this despised human cultivator.

Boom~~

Regrettably, before it could flee, Jiang Fan gripped the Human Emperor Sword, surging his immense Primordial Magical Power through it to unleash the artifact's full might.

A brilliant golden sword beam erupted in a flash, seemingly ripping through the surrounding void.

It carried an aura of sanctity, majesty, and grandeur.

Simultaneously, it bore the Power of Evil Extermination.

Thud!

In the following instant, the golden sword beam slammed into the Substitute Death Ghost with ferocious force.

"Ah!"

The eerie being let out a piercing shriek involuntarily, its entire form annihilated by the Human Emperor Sword's Power of Evil Extermination, purified utterly into wisps of ash and smoke.

Clearly, during its weakened state, it stood no chance against Jiang Fan.

It failed to withstand even a single sword stroke before perishing.

"Is it dead?"

Witnessing this, the Mansion Spirit brimmed with overwhelming delight.

It had never anticipated such a stunning reversal in fortunes.

At first, it believed its doom was sealed, destined to fall to this eerie monster.

After all, it had already depleted most of its defensive capabilities.

Who would have guessed the human cultivator before it wielded the Human Emperor Sword?

With one effortless slash, he dispatched the foe like squashing an insignificant insect.

Still, recalling the eerie creature's special powers, it suspected the enemy might not be truly vanquished.

"Of course it's not dead yet; it possesses rebirth ability."

"Right now, it's concealed in some nook of the Cangwu Immortal Mansion."

Jiang Fan remarked nonchalantly.

Yet another notification surfaced in his consciousness.

"Fate Hint: The Substitute Death Ghost dreads the Human Emperor Sword's power and refuses to show itself before you, thus it has instantly teleported to the Scripture Pavilion inside Cangwu Immortal Mansion for rebirth. This is a key ability of the Substitute Death Ghost—it can rebirth not just on-site but also at a chosen distant location, making it extremely hard to eliminate.

Fortunately, the Fate Hint reveals its exact rebirth spot each time, dooming it inescapably this round."

Hearing this, the Mansion Spirit's face twisted in alarm, filled with urgency: "What do we do? That thing's probably tucked away, waiting out its post-rebirth weakness. Once it restores full power, we're finished. Cangwu Immortal Mansion is enormous—searching for it is like hunting a needle in a haystack."

In its heyday, it could locate the Substitute Death Ghost anywhere in the Immortal Mansion with a mere thought.

But circumstances have shifted; vast sections of Cangwu Immortal Mansion now fall under eerie influences.

It lacks the means to detect the eerie creature lurking within the Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

"Relax, I've pinpointed its location already."

Jiang Fan assured calmly.
