Two powerful demons, the Nine-Headed Demon Serpent and the Hell Flame Demon, guard the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave, discussing the weakening of the Wanhu Demon Kingdom due to a plot and the actions of the Talisman Daoist. They express confidence in their impending victory over Moon-devouring City but also frustration with the Talisman Daoist's disruption of their operations on the front lines.

"Especially the reconnaissance means, if that Talisman Daoist dares to step into the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave, they will be discovered by us instantly."

"That Talisman Daoist is nothing more than a clown who only knows how to bully those weak Combined Demons."

"If he really encounters me, the Flame Demon, that Talisman Daoist will surely die without a doubt."

The Flame Demon declared with arrogance.

It believed that the Talisman Daoist was merely a cunning human Integration Cultivator, skilled only in lurking about.

Should such a cultivator face a formidable Combined Demon like itself, it was convinced the human would be annihilated in a single breath.

Yet, it was unfortunate that now, situated within the Demon Race's territory, encountering the Talisman Daoist seemed highly improbable.

The opponent, it assumed, operated within human territory and would steer clear of demon lands.

This presented a lost chance for it to achieve great merit.

"Indeed, a mere human cultivator attempting to evade the Demon Cave's reconnaissance should be impossible."

The Nine-headed Demon Serpent readily concurred, nodding in agreement.

It too felt that the Talisman Daoist's success was solely due to the Cloud Crane Demon Cave's earlier negligence.

With their heightened caution now, that human cultivator would stand no chance whatsoever.

Despite this, the human cultivator's actions had necessitated such vigilance.

Had it been previously, there would be no need for so many Combined Demons on guard; some could have been dispatched to bolster the demons' dominance on the battlefield.

But it was precisely this individual's actions that considerably weakened the demons' momentum, forcing the deployment of guards for the Demon Cave.

At that precise moment, a figure silently materialized within the deepest core of the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave.

The individual was none other than Jiang Fan.

Employing the might of the Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaf, he perfectly concealed his aura and form, boldly infiltrating the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave without alerting any demons.

This infiltration made Jiang Fan acutely aware of the potency of the nine Celestial Cicada Spirit Leaves.

Particularly after elevating his cultivation to the Integration level, he could now channel a portion of the Law Dao Rhyme from this Immortal Realm treasure, enveloping his entire being in an invisible Power of Laws.

Consequently, he existed as if in a separate dimension.

Be it Integration Cultivators or Mahayana Cultivators, unless he acted, they would not detect his presence even if he stood directly before them.

It was as though he possessed no existence in this world.

"Now is indeed the optimal time to visit the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave."

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes.

According to the intel provided by fate, the reason for targeting the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave at this juncture was not due to diminished defenses, but because other Demon Caves could not dispatch reinforcements.

If he could swiftly eliminate these two Combined Demons and eradicate the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave, the Demon Race would be rendered powerless to retaliate, regardless of their fury.

He hadn't anticipated finding a second opportunity to destroy a Demon Cave so rapidly.

It was as if the heavens themselves were aiding him.

"To instantly vanquish these two Combined Demons, employing a Magical Treasure appears necessary."

"Just in time, the Great Sun Buddha Mirror has been fully restored."

"Its power notably counteracts these demons."

"Perhaps I can ascertain the full extent of this Magical Treasure's might."

With this thought, Jiang Fan wasted no time, promptly summoning the Great Sun Buddha Mirror.

At that instant, his form manifested directly before the two Combined Demons.

"Who goes there?"

"Damn it, it's a human cultivator."

"No way, could this fellow be the Talisman Daoist?"

"Impossible, how did this guy manage to infiltrate our Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave? Why was there no prior detection?"

The Nine-headed Demon Serpent and the Flame Demon, possessing extremely sharp senses, immediately perceived the sudden appearance of the human cultivator the moment Jiang Fan revealed himself.

Their hearts were stirred with immense shock.

Previously, they held unwavering faith in their perceptive capabilities, believing no ordinary human cultivator could infiltrate the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave undetected.

Yet, here stood one who had penetrated the deepest sanctum, materializing right before them.

Had the newcomer not chosen to reveal himself, they likely would have remained oblivious.

In that moment, they instantly understood the saying, "Reputation precedes the name."

It was clear that this Talisman Daoist's success in consecutively destroying two Demon Caves was not without reason.

Should they continue to be careless, a tragic end awaited them, their fate mirroring that of their fallen companions.

An immediate decision was made: to unleash their Integration Domain and launch a counteroffensive against this human cultivator.

However, by this point, it was already too late.

Within the void, a resplendent, multi-hued Magical Treasure materialized – the Great Sun Buddha Mirror.

This mirror was forged entirely from Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold. Its reverse side was adorned with a thousand-petal treasure lotus, each petal intricately carved with golden Dao patterns, radiating an aura of profound immortality.

The mirror's edge was encircled by gilded Sanskrit script. Even in stillness, faint golden Immortal Light emanated, resembling a miniature, radiant sun.

Its surface, clear as crystal, reflected all under heaven, yet it possessed the sacred, inviolable majesty of an Immortal Artifact, emanating potent Spiritual Power that caused subtle golden ripples in the vicinity.

Suddenly, brilliant golden light erupted from the mirror's core, manifesting a colossal, spectral Buddha seated in the lotus position. Dignified and solemn, with an urna between its brows, it was enveloped in layers of golden radiance, embodying an eternal truth.

As the spectral Buddha figure gained solidity, golden Sanskrit characters began to appear across the Great Sun Buddha Mirror's surface.

These characters densely packed the mirror, appearing endless. Each character resembled a miniature sun, emitting dazzling golden light, while interconnected golden Dao patterns formed the intricate blueprint of a profound, boundless array.

The resonance between the Dao patterns and Sanskrit produced a deep, solemn Buddha sound, causing the void to tremble slightly with each wave of sound.

Deep within the mirror, the silhouette of a Great Sun Golden Crow appeared, wreathed in eternal flames.

"Kill."

Jiang Fan's eyes flashed with cold light as he channeled immense Primordial Magical Power into the mirror. This power resonated with the internal Dao patterns, stirring the boundless Law Dao Rhymes between heaven and earth.

The spectral Buddha upon the Great Sun Buddha Mirror slowly opened its eyes and uttered a single Buddha name. The mirror body then unleashed ten thousand golden rays, with endless True Sun Fire spewing forth from the Sanskrit and Dao Patterns.

The True Sun Fire burned with pure gold and an extreme temperature, instantly incinerating the black Demon Qi it contacted with sizzling sounds.

These Heaven and Earth Anomalous Fires coalesced into a golden Golden Crow, carrying world-ending might, and directly charged towards the two Combined Demons.

"Not good."

The nine-headed serpent demon and the Flame Demon's expressions shifted drastically as they sensed a fatal peril.

This power not only contained True Sun Fire but also Buddha Power, which significantly suppressed them, the demons.

Their Demonic Power, upon contact with this golden light, hissed as if dissolving in acid, inflicting immense pain upon their souls.

They wished to evade, but Jiang Fan's attack speed was frighteningly swift.

Furthermore, it was a calculated strike against an unprepared state.

At this juncture, even if they desired to escape, it was already too late.

Boom~~~

Terrifying flames transformed into Golden Crows, piercing through the physiques of the two Combined Demons as if they were mere paper.

The surrounding space itself became an immense ocean of golden fire.

It was as if a colossal sun had risen from the horizon.

"Ah!"

"Send reinforcements, quickly call for reinforcements!"

"We absolutely cannot allow this human cultivator to destroy another Demon Cave!"

"How can this human cultivator wield such terrifying power?!"

The nine-headed serpent demon and the Flame Demon let out agonizing screams.

They discovered this Flame Power not only burned their bodies but also scorched their Primordial Spirits.

Once touched, it was nearly impossible to dislodge until the Primordial Spirit was completely consumed.

Under the intense burning of the True Sun Fire, they were rendered powerless to resist.

They could only watch in abject horror as their Primordial Spirits were gradually turned to ash.

This was, without question, the world's most horrific torture.

Having lived for so long, this was their first experience; it felt akin to being dismembered piece by piece.

"No way, there are simply no reinforcements!"

"Other Integration Realm demons cannot possibly arrive in time!"

"You must hold on for just a little longer!"

The core of the Moon-Swallowing Demon Cave felt a surge of extreme anxiety, never expecting to face a life-or-death crisis so abruptly. They were overwhelmed by the terror emanating from the Talisman Daoist, pondering how such a formidable human could possibly exist.
