Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1153 - 558: Ten Thousand Demon Hall Invades, Void Realm Overlord_2

A frigid glint appeared in the eyes of many cultivators belonging to ancient sects, their excitement palpable.

They had long harbored a desire to incite chaos.

Yet, the formidable power wielded by the native cultivators of this realm had forced them to suppress their inner homicidal intent.

Now, with the Ten Thousand Demon Hall making the first move, their grand scheme could finally commence.

Seizing this moment, they intended to gauge the true capabilities possessed by the Primordial Talisman Sect.

Should this sect prove to be lacking in substance, then these external forces would be absolved of blame for an eventual 'devouring' of this native sect.

After all, the treasures within this world were destined for the strong.

For a time, a palpable undercurrent of tension surged across the entire Southern Continent.

...

Three days later, the Southern Continent witnessed activity on Mingyue Mountain.

The entirety of the mountain had been firmly seized by the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, and a rudimentary palace now graced its summit.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

Numerous demon cultivators at the Void Refining stage descended from all directions, converging upon Mingyue Mountain.

Simultaneously, the surrounding peaks teemed with an uncountable horde of demonic beasts.

These creatures had all been thoroughly subjugated by the demon cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, now serving as their loyal underlings.

An area spanning ten thousand miles had effectively been transformed into a burgeoning demon kingdom.

Though currently in its nascent stages, with continued development, it was poised to evolve into an exceptionally powerful Ten Thousand Demons Nation.

At their forefront stood a Ninth-Layer Void Refining demon cultivator, the Six-Winged Flame Tiger known as Hu Wushuang.

Its formidable domain pressure emanated outward, making it a struggle for other Void Refining demon cultivators to even draw breath.

A total of twenty-eight Void Refining demon cultivators had assembled.

Nearly every member of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall present within the Southern Continent had gathered.

"My Lord,"

A multitude of Void Refining demon cultivators offered a respectful nod.

Within the hierarchy of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, brute strength largely dictated one's standing.

As the most powerful among them, a cultivator at the peak of the Refining Void Perfection stage, the Six-Winged Flame Tiger, Hu Wushuang, naturally assumed command.

"It is pleasing to see you all gathered at last."

"Following years of diligent investigation, it has become clear that only one entity obstructs the Ten Thousand Demon Hall's ambition to dominate this continent."

"That entity is none other than the Human Race's Void Refining Sect, the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"Should we succeed in eradicating this human sect, no other power on this continent will be capable of opposing us."

The Six-Winged Flame Tiger, Hu Wushuang, declared its intentions with unbridled ruthlessness.

This was its ultimate ambition.

Achieving such a feat would undoubtedly earn it immense standing within the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

After all, the pursuit of fortuitous encounters within the Void Realm was a long-held aspiration of the many revered ancestors of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

Any individual capable of realizing such an objective would reap tremendous rewards.

It must be understood that Hu Wushuang was already a Ninth-Layer Void Refining demon cultivator, standing a mere single step away from the Body Integration Realm.

However, this singular step had proven an insurmountable barrier for countless Void Refining demon cultivators.

The disparity between the Integration and Void Refining stages was simply too vast, akin to an uncrossable abyss.

Despite possessing considerable talent and having reached the Perfection stage of cultivation, the aspiration to break through and ascend to the Integration Stage cultivator remained far beyond its grasp. Nevertheless, with the provision of essential resources, the probability of success would significantly increase.

This very reason fueled its unwavering determination to press forward with this plan.

For Hu Wushuang, the Primordial Talisman Sect represented a crucial stepping stone towards its own advancement.

"Hu Wushuang, my lord, this Primordial Talisman Sect is not as simple as it may seem."

"This human sect appears to have inherited ancient legacies, possessing foundations that are difficult to fathom."

"Furthermore, this sect includes human cultivators at the Void Refining stage."

"Should we launch a rash assault, we risk incurring substantial casualties."

One Void Refining demon cultivator voiced a note of caution.

It harbored a suspicion that the Primordial Talisman Sect was not as straightforward as it initially appeared.

The opposing force was the Void Realm's own Void Refining Sect, wielding unfathomable strength and possessing unknown trump cards.

To attack recklessly without understanding the opponent's hidden capabilities was tantamount to inviting doom.

The most prudent course of action would be to enlist the aid of a Combined Demon Cultivator, thereby guaranteeing a flawless victory.

Regrettably, the Heaven and Earth Laws within the Void Realm remained exceedingly potent, preventing Integration Cultivators from crossing over.

Any attempt to force their passage would result in their demise at the hands of the Void Realm's laws.

"What exactly do you fear? Does our Ten Thousand Demon Hall possess a less substantial foundation than the Primordial Talisman Sect?"

"Indeed, a mere native human sect – even with some ancient insights – how could it possibly contend with us?"

"We have mobilized twenty-eight Void Refining Cultivators this time. How could we not handle a small human Void Refining Sect?"

"Exactly. If we possess such strength and still dare not act, then we might as well go home. Why come to the Void Realm for adventure and opportunity?"

"I don’t believe a small human sect could truly destroy us. If you dare not act, then stay back, and after we obliterate the Primordial Talisman Sect, you shall receive a share of the spoils."

The collective of Void Refining Demon Cultivators engaged in fervent discussion.

They scorned such cautious remarks, deeming them overly timid.

Nevertheless, their approach was not reckless but had been deeply considered.

Earlier investigations revealed that the Primordial Talisman Sect possessed merely a few Void Refining cultivators.

In contrast to their twenty-eight Void Refining cultivators, a clear disparity existed.

Even if the Primordial Talisman Sect’s Holy Land was fortified with a grand array for protection, their combined might rendered the destruction of a Tier Six grand array a manageable task.

If they did not dare to strike under such circumstances, they might as well return home, with no reason to linger and court trouble.

Regardless, even if the engagement proceeded poorly and the opponent’s array proved far more formidable than anticipated, there was no cause for undue concern; while defeating them might be impossible, escaping would present no significant challenge.

The strongest cultivators in this realm are presently at the Void Refining level.

To believe that a few human Void Refining cultivators could annihilate them was pure fantasy.

From the outset, it could be said that they held an invincible position.

Should their endeavor be successful, immense benefits awaited them.

Even failure promised a leisurely retreat without posing a life-threatening risk.

"Enough, no more unnecessary words. I have already reported the matter to the Ten Thousand Demon Hall."

"The ancestors have sanctioned my plan, so even if you object, you must adhere to the orders."

The Six-Winged Flame Tiger, Hu Wushuang, declared with unreserved bluntness.

Upon hearing this, the assembled Void Refining Demon Cultivators fell into silence.

Despite any internal dissent, they dared not voice their objections further.

For this was a command issued by the ancestors.

Now, with the arrow nocked, it was inevitable that it would be loosed.

"What should we do next?"

A Void Refining Demon Cultivator posed the question.

Given that it was an ancestor’s decree, there was no room for further debate, only the completion of the task at hand.

Moreover, this individual did not perceive the plan as particularly perilous.

Compared to the exploration of ancient cultivator’s abodes, assaulting a minor Void Refining Sect seemed akin to child’s play.

Significantly less danger should be involved.

"Your mission is straightforward: to incite beast tides across the Southern Continent."

"This will compel those demon beasts to continuously drain the strength of the Primordial Talisman Sect."

"If you can force out their Void Refining cultivator and discern their ultimate trump cards, that would be ideal."

"Then we shall surge in, defeat them utterly, and divide the treasures accumulated by this Void Refining Sect."

The Six-Winged Flame Tiger, Hu Wushuang, elucidated the uncomplicated strategy; devoid of convoluted tactics, it entailed a direct assault on the human cities under the Primordial Talisman Sect’s dominion to sap this Void Refining Sect’s vital energy.

Ideally, the adversary would emerge from their sect’s Holy Land, forsaking the protection of grand arrays, to confront them directly.

If this proved unfeasible, they could still seize control of portions of human territory, thereby expanding the realm of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

At the very least, their objective was to annex half the territory of the Southern Continent.

Merely allowing native humans to occupy such fertile land was, in truth, a wasteful endeavor.

"Yes, my lord."

Upon hearing this, a multitude of Void Refining Demon Cultivators felt considerable satisfaction, as the plan was not characterized by reckless aggression, thereby avoiding foolish charges into enemy strongholds.

Dealing with mere human cities presented a far simpler challenge.

Furthermore, it was anticipated that those human cities would harbor abundant treasures, and their subjugation could yield significant gains for each participant.

"Contemplating an assault on my Primordial Talisman Sect? Your arrogance is indeed immeasurable."

At this precise moment, a voice suddenly resounded through the surroundings.

In the subsequent second, a figure materialized before the assembled Void Refining Demon Cultivators, and it was none other than Jiang Fan.

He stood poised in mid-air, observing them from his elevated vantage point.
