The Ten Thousand Demon Hall mobilizes its forces, gathering twenty-eight Void Refining cultivators led by Hu Wushuang, to conquer the Southern Continent. Their target is the Primordial Talisman Sect, the only force opposing their rule. Despite some dissent among his ranks, Hu Wushuang reveals the ancestors have approved his plan to weaken the sect by inciting beast tides and attacking human cities. Just as the demons prepare to execute their plan, Jiang Fan appears before them.

"Human Void Refining? Just who exactly are you?"

The moment Jiang Fan materialized, the numerous Void Refining Demon Cultivators present were utterly astonished.

Extensive measures had long been implemented around their location to ward off any intruders.

Furthermore, their senses were extraordinarily keen.

Under ordinary circumstances, no cultivator should have been able to slip past their defenses and arrive here undetected.

Yet, the individual before them had somehow accomplished this impossible feat.

They immediately recognized that this human at the Void Refining stage was no ordinary being.

After all, any cultivator who reached the Void Refining realm couldn't possibly be foolish.

But this person dared to face so many Void Refining Demon Cultivators alone; it was simply audacious.

What was it that he relied upon?

"Hold on, humans at the Void Refining stage are incredibly scarce on the Southern Continent."

"Could you possibly be the Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect?"

With an unyielding gaze, the Six-Winged Flame Tiger, Hu Wushuang, fixed its attention on Jiang Fan.

It swiftly deduced that the human cultivator at the Void Refining stage before it must hail from the Primordial Talisman Sect.

Apart from the Primordial Talisman Sect, no other power within the Southern Continent possessed cultivators at the Void Refining stage.

However, it had never anticipated that their adversary would willingly reveal himself before them.

This realization made Hu Wushuang extremely cautious internally.

"The Sect Leader of the Primordial Talisman Sect?"

Upon hearing this, the pupils of the other Void Refining Demon Cultivators constricted, and a terrifying killing intent erupted from each of them.

Their murderous intent instantly zeroed in on the human Void Refining cultivator before them.

Without a doubt, this human Void Refining cultivator had arrived with hostile intentions.

Furthermore, they had just been discussing how to deal with the Primordial Talisman Sect.

The problem was, the location of their secret meeting had been meticulously chosen, unknown to any outsiders.

How did the human Void Refining cultivator manage to find this place with such uncanny accuracy?

Or had they been under surveillance from the very moment they set foot on the Southern Continent?

If that were the case, the strength of the Primordial Talisman Sect was far more formidable than they had initially believed.

"Haha, I never imagined you would be so foolish as to deliver yourself right here."

"In that scenario, if I eliminate you, the entire Primordial Talisman Sect will naturally crumble."

"It appears even the heavens are aiding me."

Hu Wushuang let out a hearty laugh, filled with immense satisfaction.

It paid no heed to any potential schemes this human Void Refining cultivator might possess.

In the face of overwhelming power, all schemes become futile and insignificant.

Since he dared to venture into the territory of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, he must have been prepared for demise.

Such a magnificent offering was naturally accepted with a welcoming smile.

Roar!

A deafening tiger's roar suddenly split the crimson clouds apart.

The Six-Winged Flame Tiger, Hu Wushuang, advanced amidst surging waves of fire, its six wings of flame stretching ten meters wide. Each beat showered countless embers that transformed into towering infernos upon striking the ground.

A blood-red crystal embedded in its forehead pulsed, and its amber vertical pupils fixated on Jiang Fan, with saliva dripping from its fangs, etching small, scorched pits into the very rock.

"Perish, human."

Hu Wushuang bellowed, its voice resonating like molten magma.

Even before its words concluded, the demon horde surged forward behind it.

Twenty-seven Void Refining Demon Cultivators blotted out the sun; their intention was to overwhelm their foe through sheer numbers rather than engage in individual combat.

The claws of the Red-eyed Wolf Demon shimmered with an eerie luminescence, the Profound Armor Turtle Demon sported a carapace akin to a mountain, and the scales of the Poison Wing Moth Demon dissolved into a light purple toxic mist upon contact with the air.

It was evident that each demon was utterly ruthless, showing no restraint whatsoever.

Their domain powers surged forth, causing the surrounding void to tremble and distort.

For a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, this terrifying spatial anomaly could be sensed, sending shivers of dread down countless spines.

"Heavenless Umbrella Talisman!"

In a flash, Jiang Fan activated his Life Talisman.

This Life Talisman morphed into an obsidian umbrella, its every rib meticulously forged from meteorite iron, radiating a cold, unyielding gleam.

As the umbrella unfurled, myriad mystical runes manifested, defying simple categorization as either script or imagery. Some resembled coiling dragons, others depicted swirling galaxies, with dark purple light weaving between the runes.

At the apex of the umbrella, a rune bearing the inscription "Heavenless" hovered, exuding an imposing aura of defiance against the very fabric of existence, causing the fierce winds to part around its edges without disturbing the umbrella's surface.

Beneath the Heavenless Umbrella, Jiang Fan seemed to exist within an inviolable sanctuary, impervious to any assault.

"A mere trinket of trickery, perish."

Hu Wushuang sneered, completely unfazed.

With a sudden surge in the speed of its six wings, a barrage of scarlet-gold flame blades were unleashed, slicing towards Jiang Fan. However, the moment these flame blades contacted the light shield formed by the Heavenless Umbrella's runes, they halted in mid-air. The runes' glow intensified, causing the blades to reverse course and hurtle back towards Hu Wushuang with increased ferocity. Hu Wushuang, taken by surprise, quickly employed its wings as a shield. With several muffled 'puff' sounds, the flames adorning its wings were extinguished by its own fire blades. Deep, bone-revealing wounds appeared, and the luminescence of the blood-colored crystal dimmed even further. In but a fleeting moment, it had sustained a grievous injury. Concurrently, the assaults from the other Void Refining Demon Cultivators rapidly closed in. The Profound Armor Turtle Demon hurled colossal boulders, causing massive meteorites to plummet towards Jiang Fan. The Red-eyed Wolf Demon gathered immense demonic power, unleashing crimson claw beams that tore through the void itself.
