Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1168 - 565: Celestial Bow Talisman, Slaying the Void Refining Demon Beast (Part 2)

Testing Immortal Realm Spirit Talismans finds its ultimate proving ground in the boundless Endless Sea Region of the Void Realm.

"Hm?!"

A ripple of awareness washed over Jiang Fan; he detected a colossal congregation of Demon Beasts, their presence surging through the adjacent oceanic expanse.

The vanguard of this formidable pack was a Demon Beast that had already attained Tier Six, a level of might comparable to a Void Refining Cultivator.

He had not anticipated such rapid advancement among the Demon Beasts of the Black Dragon Sea Region.

To think that merely a short span of time had witnessed the emergence of a Tier Six Demon Beast—it was, frankly, astonishing.

Yet, upon deeper contemplation, it was a perfectly logical development.

In the vastness of the endless seas, the sheer quantity of Demon Beasts was truly immense, practically without limit.

They constantly engaged in mutual destruction, evolving and growing stronger by metabolizing their fallen foes.

Through relentless conflict, their pace of development was exceptionally swift, an unsurpassable speed when contrasted with human Cultivators.

Consequently, the swift appearance of a Tier Six Demon Beast was not an impossibility.

"An ideal moment to gauge the potency of the Celestial Bow Talisman."

Jiang Fan’s eyebrows arched slightly.

Given that the Black Dragon Sea Region had been thoroughly ensnared by the Myriad Stars Converging Origin Formation, its major islands were now veiled by its protective embrace.

Even if a Tier Six Demon Beast were to manifest, it could still be contained.

However, allowing such a formidable entity to wreak havoc across the Black Dragon Sea Region would invariably bring the Primordial Talisman Sect’s economic endeavors to a standstill, inflicting catastrophic losses.

A perilous Tier Six Demon Beast of this caliber warranted swift and decisive elimination.

Boom~~

With this resolution, Jiang Fan acted without reservation; he promptly activated the Lifebound Talisman intrinsically linked to his being—the Celestial Bow Talisman.

In the subsequent moment, an ethereal immortal bow materialized in the air before him.

Its entire form was a deep, inky black, reminiscent of the night sky veiled in ink, profound as a cosmic abyss, emanating an aura steeped in death and utter destruction.

The bow’s contours were elegant, imbued with the mystic patterns of Heavenly Dao Laws, as if constellations were captured within its structure.

Its bowstring, fashioned from an unknown divine material, possessed unparalleled tensile strength, emitting a chorus of dragon roars and tiger howls when drawn taut.

The overall craftsmanship was deceptively simple yet exuded an immense, commanding presence, conveying the supreme decree of "one arrow dictates life and death, one bow obliterates the heavens."

Boom~~

At this juncture, the boundless Primordial Magical Power residing within Jiang Fan flowed into the artifact, causing the immortal bow to ignite with a dazzling black luminescence, so intense it distorted the surrounding space.

The very essence of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was drawn into the Celestial Bow, becoming an intrinsic part of its being.

A spectral black Arrow took shape, its surface densely inscribed with intricate runes of annihilation.

It appeared destined for nothing short of absolute devastation.

Simultaneously, his divine sense precisely pinpointed the location of the Tier Six Demon Beast.

This, indeed, was the source of the Celestial Bow Talisman’s terrifying efficacy.

Once this potent Talisman was invoked, no mastery of archery whatsoever was required.

Merely drawing the bow and nocking the Arrow was sufficient; the projectile would instinctively lock onto the enemy’s Qi, ensuring an unerring strike.

Even a mere child wielding it could effortlessly dispatch their foe.

Whoosh!

In a blinding flash, the power of the Celestial Bow was unleashed, and the terrifying black Arrow shot forth.

Its velocity ascended to unimaginable heights, virtually instantaneous, dissolving into the void as it flew.

"Hm? What's happening?"

At that precise moment, a Tier Six Demon Beast in the distance—a terrifying Storm Fish Demon Beast—was leading an immense armada of Sea Beasts from other territories into the Black Dragon Sea Region.

It was currently consumed by fierce indignation.

Its presence in the Black Dragon Sea Region was not by choice, but by coercion, having been forcefully driven here by other Tier Six Demon Beasts.

It had previously engaged in combat with these other Tier Six Demon Beasts and suffered a crushing defeat.

In order to survive, it had no alternative but to rally a vast contingent of subordinates and flee its native waters, venturing into uncharted territories.

The reason it had chosen the Black Dragon Sea Region was the absence of any detected Tier Six Demon Beast auras within these waters.

Precisely because of this perceived lack of threat, upon its arrival, it was certain to establish itself as the undisputed sovereign of this sea.

Once it had amassed sufficient strength, it intended to return to its original domain and exact vengeance.

"Just you wait, I shall not forget this slight."

"When my Cultivation reaches a higher echelon, I will assuredly return to vanquish you."

"However, the Demon Beasts inhabiting this sea are exceptionally feeble; there should be no one capable of matching my might."

"My first objective will be to assert dominance over this very sea."

The Tier Six Storm Fish Demon Beast was awash with murderous intent; with its formidable Tier Six power, it felt that no other Demon Beasts could possibly contend with it, and it was destined to rule this weak oceanic territory.

But at that instant, an unsettling tremor coursed through its body, as if an imminent, fatal peril were descending upon it.

This event was even more dreadful than its previous defeat against another Tier Six Demon Beast.

After all, on that prior occasion, it had merely been overcome, not facing any existential threat.

If it had chosen to escape then, the other Tier Six Demon Beasts would have been incapable of stopping it.

However, at this moment, it genuinely felt its life hanging by a thread.

Could this particular sea region harbor some hidden, terrifying peril?!

In the subsequent second, it cast its gaze upward, abruptly witnessing a terrifying black Arrow rending the sky and hurtling towards it.

Its velocity was astonishingly swift, surpassing even the perception of divine sense.

By the time the black Arrow registered in its awareness, the realization dawned that it was already far too late.

This was because the Arrow had effortlessly breached its colossal form.

What intensified its terror was the Arrow's payload: a dreadful aura of destruction and death.

A horrific, destructive force detonated within its being instantaneously, pulverizing its soul with every passing moment.

"Impossible, this cannot be happening, I—I'm already deceased?!"

"A single arrow has ended my existence? What kind of cruel jest is this."

"Who dared to strike me? Identify yourself!"

The Tier Six Storm Fish Demon Beast's eyes widened in disbelief; it desperately sought to identify its killer, but Jiang Fan's distance was immense—this was a long-range strike traversing the void, well beyond its divine sense's reach.

Thus, despite its fervent search, it could not ascertain the Arrow's origin, let alone the identity of the assailant.

It had intentionally journeyed to this sea, seeking a secure haven for rapid enhancement.

Who could have foretold that upon arriving in this remote oceanic expanse—

Before its grand aspirations could even begin to be realized, it was dispatched by a single arrow.

Boom~~

Swiftly, its consciousness plunged into an unfathomable darkness, and its immense body plummeted from the heights.

It impacted the ocean's surface with tremendous force, unleashing colossal waves.

"This is dire, our King has fallen, the King is dead."

"No, how could the King perish so suddenly? Who could possess such power?"

"It must have been the dominant entity of this sea, that enigmatic overlord who struck down our King."

"Curses, flee, we must escape immediately, this sea is far too perilous, not a place for us."

Witnessing the demise of the Storm Fish Demon Beast, the numerous Tier Four and Tier Five Demon Beasts were overcome with abject terror.

They had never conceived that their Tier Six Demon Beast King could be extinguished so swiftly by an adversary.

It was akin to slaughtering a mere chicken.

A chilling dread coursed through their forms, causing them to tremble uncontrollably.

If their King could be dispatched with such ease, they themselves stood no chance.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The Demon Beasts turned tail and fled without hesitation; they propelled themselves with all haste, yearning to revisit the Black Dragon Sea Region—their retreat was as rapid as their advance.

Regrettably for them, the opportunity to escape had already evaporated.

In the next instant, Jiang Fan materialized before this fleeing contingent of Demon Beasts.

A formidable Primordial Domain unfurled, descending with crushing weight and encompassing a sphere of a million kilometers.

All life forms within this immense radius were immediately subjected to unimaginable gravitational force, as though colossal mountains were bearing down upon them, leaving no avenue for evasion.

In a mere fraction of a second, the multitude of Tier Four and Tier Five Demon Beasts perished on the spot, transforming into lifeless husks.

Only Demon Beasts below Tier Three managed to continue existing.

For Jiang Fan, these lesser Demon Beasts still served a purpose in maintaining the oceanic ecosystem.

A complete annihilation would offer no substantial benefit to the Black Dragon Sea Region.

The elimination of the Tier Four and Tier Five Demon Beasts was deemed sufficient.

These more potent Demon Beasts posed a significant threat to the disciples of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

"Indeed, the Celestial Bow Talisman lives up to its formidable reputation."

"A solitary arrow dispatched a Tier Six Demon Beast to its demise."

"If combined with the Heaven-Breaking Arrow, the destructive output would likely amplify tenfold, at the very least."

Jiang Fan clenched his fist, profoundly pleased with the efficacy of the Celestial Bow Talisman.

Once this Spirit Talisman was unleashed, few cultivators of comparable cultivation level could withstand its onslaught.

Whoosh!

With a casual wave of his hand, he swiftly gathered the fallen Demon Beast carcasses, storing them within the internal dimension of the Exquisite Tower.

These High-Tier Demon Beast corpses, after all, held considerable value.
