Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1491 - 692: Celestial Mandate Bestowed, Master of Destiny

"Die."

Ghostly Mist Daoist struck fiercely.

In an instant, the Demonic Qi around him suddenly became thin, replaced by billowing clusters of gray-black mist. This mist was no ordinary fog; it was a spectral haze composed of the wrathful spirits and corrupt Evil Power of countless deceased souls. Its hue was ominous, surging silently yet carrying a chilling coldness that froze the Divine Soul.

His figure hovered within the sinister clouds, his face obscured by the mist, revealing only a pair of hollow gray-black eyes. His emaciated hands slowly rose, weaving intricate and eerie Evil Seals at his fingertips. He muttered incantations, his voice low and murky like the whispers of the underworld. With each syllable, the surrounding mist thickened, continually absorbing the grievances and deathly aura from the heavens and earth.

"The Infernal Prison opens, the mist arises, devouring the Divine Soul, eternally plunging into the Abyss!"

Ghostly Mist Daoist uttered in a low growl, his fingertip suddenly pointing forward. Instantly, the surrounding gray-black mist surged forth, spreading like waves. In the blink of an eye, it formed a Domain of spectral haze that obscured the sun, within which light completely vanished, leaving only endless cold and deathly silence.

This was his Lifebound Immortal Technique—Infernal Prison Devouring Soul Mist.

The Infernal Prison Devouring Soul Mist was not a physical attack but was more insidious than any dark art.

Within the mist, countless tiny soul shadows frantically darted about. These were the remnants of souls consumed by the mist, having lost their consciousness. They could only howl and struggle within the mist, becoming its nourishment.

Where the mist passed, the Void was corroded into a blur, the Spiritual Qi instantly dissipated, and even the golden Spiritual Light of Jiang Fan’s Spiritual Aura Barrier’s outer edge was tainted by the mist, emitting a sizzling corrosive sound, its light visibly dimming.

More terrifying was that the mist carried a potent Soul-Devouring Power, which, even through the Barrier, Jiang Fan could feel a chill attempting to pierce the Barrier and invade his Divine Soul. A moment of carelessness would lead to his soul being devoured by the mist, turning him into a mindless zombie.

The misty Domain continuously contracted, resembling a massive spectral net, slowly enveloping Jiang Fan. In its wake, the ground cracked, creatures turned to bone, and even the air’s grievances were completely absorbed, becoming increasingly dense.

"Human, dying at our hands is a great honor for you."

"Be obedient and die for me."

As the Infernal Prison Devouring Soul Mist pressed closer, the Blood Vortex Daoist on the right also began to unleash his Immortal Technique.

The Demonic Qi around him surged more violently, dark purple and pitch-black Demonic Qi interweaving before him, forming a small vortex. As it rotated, it emitted a low rumble, continuously devouring surrounding Demonic Qi and fragments of the Void.

The Blood Vortex Daoist, with his towering figure, covered in dark red blood patterns, pressed both hands onto the vortex, injecting Evil Power from within him furiously while letting out a fierce roar full of devouring desire.

"The Nether River appears, the vortex forms, all laws are devoured, nothing can escape!"

As the Blood Vortex Daoist’s roar fell, the small vortex in front of him suddenly expanded, instantly transforming into a giant pitch-black vortex with a diameter of a hundred zhang. Its inner walls were covered with sharp sinister runes, emitting an ominous dark red glow. At its center was a bottomless black, exuding a terrifying force seeking to devour everything—

This was his Lifebound Immortal Technique, Nether River Devouring Vortex.

The power of the Nether River Devouring Vortex was even fiercer than the Infernal Prison Devouring Soul Mist.

The vortex spun turbulently, its speed increasing, emitting deafening rumbles. The surrounding Void was forcibly torn, collapsing continuously towards the vortex center, creating countless tiny space fissures. The chaotic space currents were swallowed by the vortex, and even distant crumbled Immortal Mountain rocks and withered Spirit Plants were pulled in by an invisible force, swiftly drawn into the vortex, instantly shredded and devoured, becoming energy that nourished the vortex.

On the vortex, viscous dark red blood flowed, a coagulation of countless creatures’ Essence Blood, emitting a pungent stench. It intertwined with the chilling aura of the Infernal Prison Devouring Soul Mist, forming a suffocating sinister pressure.

Even more unsettling, the Devouring Power of the Nether River Devouring Vortex had locked onto Jiang Fan and the Human Emperor Sword.

The Spiritual Aura Barrier around Jiang Fan began to tremble lightly, drawn by the vortex’s force. The golden lines on the Barrier’s surface, bearing great pressure from the vortex’s suction, became somewhat distorted, and the gentle Spiritual Light grew increasingly dim.

The Human Emperor Sword hovered in front of Jiang Fan, its blade’s Ancient Runes glowing brightly, emitting Divine Power in an attempt to resist the vortex’s suction. Yet, even so, the sword’s body slightly wavered, seemingly ready to be devoured by the vortex at any moment.

At this moment, the Infernal Prison Devouring Soul Mist approached from all directions, its chilling haze continuously corroding the Barrier, its Soul-Devouring Power unabated; the Nether River Devouring Vortex violently spun in front, its terrifying suction trying to engulf Jiang Fan and the Barrier together, shredding everything.

The two Immortal Techniques worked in tandem, one insidious and one violent, one devouring souls and the other objects, forming an inescapable evil trap. The Demonic Qi and grievances between heaven and earth were drawn by these two Immortal Techniques, becoming increasingly violent. Even the scattered Demonic Qi of Blood Tooth Daoist was devoured by the Nether River Devouring Vortex, regrouping into a terrifying Evil Power.

"Interesting, True Immortal Level Immortal Techniques are indeed terrifying."

"And Immortal Techniques from different Daos are generally unenforceable, only worth referencing."

"No wonder those forces in the Immortal Realm disregard the dissemination of Immortal Techniques."

"But just this won’t kill."

Jiang Fan calmly observed the three True Immortals.
