Jiang Fan's attempts to project across worlds repeatedly end in death upon arrival in demon worlds. He realizes that most worlds in the Mortal World have fallen and been corrupted by demons, their Heavenly Dao altered. The Human Emperor Sword confirms this, explaining that a great ancient war led to the widespread collapse of many worlds. Jiang Fan learns that these corrupted worlds detect and corrupt any outsiders, and questions the nature of the altered Heavenly Dao.

"In the ancient past, numerous sinister fiends also harbored desires to consume the Heavenly Dao of the Void Realm."

"Thankfully, their attempts were unsuccessful; had they triumphed, the Void Realm would not be in its present state."

The Human Emperor Sword voiced its sentiments with a sigh.

It harbored immense dread towards these fiendish beings, truly monstrous entities among monsters.

They were practically manifestations of the Grand Dao itself.

Furthermore, they were not denizens of the Mortal World but formidable existences hailing from the Immortal Realm.

Due to the unique nature of these sinister creatures, their menace surpassed that of Immortals descending into the mortal plane.

When Immortals descend, they are typically constrained by the laws of the Mortal World, unable to wield their full might.

However, these fiendish entities operated differently; they possessed the ability to corrupt the Heavenly Dao, leading to its alienation.

Should they succeed, the entire world would face cataclysmic transformations, rendering it inhospitable to life – effectively pulling the foundation out from under existence.

Consequently, all beings and these fiendish creatures are locked in a state of mortal enmity, making coexistence virtually impossible.

"If that is the case, can the Heavenly Dao of those afflicted worlds ever be restored?"

Jiang Fan inquired, his brow furrowed.

"It remains unknown, as no one has managed to achieve such a feat to date."

"Once the Heavenly Dao succumbs to corruption, it is generally beyond recovery, and that world is considered irrevocably lost."

"However, nothing in this world is an absolute certainty."

"It is possible that a method to reverse an corrupted Heavenly Dao exists within the Immortal Realm, but such knowledge is far beyond the comprehension of us mortals of the Mortal World," the Human Emperor Sword stated with solemnity.

These adversaries, originating from the Immortal Realm, presented a crisis of cosmic proportions for cultivators in the Mortal World.

As a result, they were gradually pushed back.

Moreover, the Immortal Realm itself was grappling with significant predicaments, preventing any potential support from reaching the lower realms.

If this grim trajectory continues, the entirety of the Mortal World risks becoming the dominion of demons and malevolent entities.

All living beings would find themselves without a place to stand.

"I understand."

Jiang Fan's expression turned grim.

There was no question that these sinister creatures were far more terrifying than he had previously imagined.

Although he had indeed vanquished some of them previously, they were in a weakened state at the time, which had allowed him to exploit an opening and deal with them. .

If they were at their full strength, he would likely be forced to retreat as far and fast as possible.

Contending against such formidable beings would be an impossibility.

After all, even the Heavenly Dao could be corrupted; it was impossible to fathom the true extent of their power.

"However, for your current situation, these matters are still relatively distant concerns."

"Your most immediate priority is to elevate your cultivation and reach the Body Integration Realm as swiftly as possible."

"Remaining at the mere Void Refining Level is still far from adequate."

"I sense that those sinister creatures are drawing nearer to awakening."

"Should they awaken, the entire Void Realm will face imminent collapse," the Human Emperor Sword warned gravely.

Despite acknowledging Jiang Fan's already impressive cultivation speed, it conveyed its hope for him to accelerate his progress further.

The reason being that their adversaries might not grant him ample time for cultivation.

Those fiendish beings would undoubtedly not allow Jiang Fan peaceful stability, likely devising numerous insidious schemes.

"Understood."

Jiang Fan nodded in agreement.

A profound sense of urgency began to stir within his heart.

Nevertheless, he was not overly anxious.

This was because he had already attained the Eighth-Layer of Void Refining, positioning him not far from the Ninth-Layer.

He estimated that with continued diligent cultivation, a breakthrough was within his grasp.

Furthermore, this Kunpeng Nest presented itself as a highly advantageous sanctuary for cultivation.

If he were to cultivate within this locale, his cultivation efficiency would undoubtedly see further enhancement.
