Jiang Fan faces two powerful Immortal Techniques, the Infernal Prison Devouring Soul Mist and the Nether River Devouring Vortex. These attacks combine soul-devouring and object-devouring abilities, creating a formidable trap. Despite the overwhelming pressure and corrosion on his defenses, Jiang Fan remains calm and acknowledges the power of these True Immortal Level techniques, believing they are not enough to defeat him.

Now, the Human Emperor Sword he held was far more powerful than before, multiples stronger.

The reason why an Immortal Artifact is so powerful is that it has various Immortal Techniques engraved within.

And inside the Human Emperor Sword, there are five Immortal Techniques contained.

Each one exceedingly formidable.

Especially with the addition of the Void Realm’s origin, it is even more astonishingly powerful.

Ability Two: Celestial Mandate Endowed!

This ability of the Human Emperor Sword allows the wielder to gain the protection of the Heavenly Dao, becoming the Child of the Heavenly Dao.

In this state, the wielder’s Magical Power and Divine Powers will enhance to unprecedented levels.

"Come forth."

In an instant, Jiang Fan erupted with dazzling golden light, more radiant than before, gentle yet boundless, piercing through the icy shroud of the Ghostly Prison’s Soul Devouring miasma, illuminating the entire black sky.

The Human Emperor Sword in his hand trembled in response, the Ancient Runes on the blade lighting up in unison, the golden sword radiance surged several folds; on the sword body faintly appeared the Void Realm’s Heaven and Earth Dao Patterns, a protective power originating from the Heavenly Dao source slowly descended from the void, enveloping Jiang Fan—this is his Lifebound Immortal Technique, Celestial Mandate Endowed.

Once Celestial Mandate Endowed took effect, Jiang Fan’s aura instantly transformed; the originally thick Magical Power, under the augmentation of the Heavenly Dao protection, surged to the peak, the golden Spiritual Light around him condensed into substance, like a sacred armor, enveloping his figure. In the golden light, his form became increasingly standing tall and straight, the surrounding void was twisted and quivered by the ultimate thick Magical Power, forming ripples of golden waves; wherever the waves passed, Demonic Qi dissipated, miasma retreated, even the suction of the Underworld River’s Soul Devouring vortex was forcefully blocked.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi of the Void Realm seemed summoned, converging from all directions, continuously pouring into Jiang Fan’s body, transforming into his Magical Power, making his aura increasingly majestic, as if a Heavenly Dao envoy descended upon the Mortal World, sacred and unassailable.

At this moment, Jiang Fan slowly raised his hand, grasping the Human Emperor Sword, the Celestial Dao Patterns on the sword body intertwined and merged with the golden light surrounding him, forming a golden beam piercing through heavens and earth.

He slightly shook his wrist, the Human Emperor Sword swung strongly, not with earth-shattering violence, but carrying the absolute might of Heavenly Dao protection, an exceedingly condensed golden sword aura sliced through the void, directly confronting the Ghostly Prison’s Soul Devouring miasma and the Underworld River’s Soul Devouring vortex.

Where the sword aura passed, the void twisted into strange arcs, yet quickly restored under the nourishment of the golden light, the ghostly mist along the path was instantly purified, turning into nothing; the soul shadows within the miasma shrieked in anguish the moment touched by the golden light, instantaneously vanished entirely.

The golden sword aura firstly collided with the Ghostly Prison’s Soul Devouring miasma, that shadow-covering, exceedingly sinister miasma domain, in front of the sword aura blessed by Heavenly Dao, dissolved instantaneously like ice meeting fire.

The originally dense grey-black ghostly mist, pierced and purified by the golden light, the Soul-Devouring Power within the miasma, under the dual suppression of Human Emperor Dao Principles and Heavenly Dao protection, thoroughly collapsed, unable to erode even a bit more.

Within mere moments, the once fear-inducing Ghostly Prison’s Soul Devouring miasma was entirely eradicated by the sword aura, leaving not even a trace of cold remnants behind.

Then, the golden sword aura continued forward, clashing with the violently rotating Underworld River’s Soul Devouring vortex.

Facing this all-devouring anomalous vortex, the sword aura was not drawn in, instead, carrying irresistible pressure, forcibly stabbing into the vortex center.

Instantly, the vortex rotation speed suddenly slowed, the roaring sound gradually weakened, the sinister patterns on the vortex’s inner wall under the shining golden light continuously shattered, dissolved, the dark red blood flowing on the vortex was also purified by the golden light, turning into void.

The Devouring Power of the Underworld River’s Soul Devouring vortex in the face of Heavenly Dao protection’s might, like an ant trying to shake a tree, was gradually dismantled and eradicated.

Jiang Fan’s eyes focused, his Magical Power infused further, the sword radiance of the Human Emperor Sword became exceedingly radiant, the golden light of Heavenly Dao protection grew increasingly rich. He forcefully pushed forward, the golden sword aura erupted completely, forcibly tearing apart, crushing the Underworld River’s Soul Devouring vortex.

The shattered vortex turned into countless black fragments, wrapped, purified by the golden light, eventually dissipating in heaven and earth, that terrifying Devouring Power likewise vanished like smoke.

In a short moment, the two major sinister techniques, Ghostly Prison’s Soul Devouring miasma and Underworld River’s Soul Devouring vortex, were effortlessly eradicated by Jiang Fan with Celestial Mandate Endowed and the Human Emperor Sword’s might.

Suspended above the sky, Jiang Fan’s entire body shimmering with golden light, the halo of Heavenly Dao protection lingering incessantly, Magical Power reached the extreme, the surrounding void still slightly trembling, exuding the majesty to suppress all evil spirits.

The Human Emperor Sword floated before him, the golden light on the sword body gradually restrained, yet still carrying Heavenly Dao Dao Rhyme, merged with his aura, forming an indestructible sacred barrier.

"How is this possible?"

Blood Tooth Daoist, Ghostly Mist Daoist, and Blood Vortex Daoist, the three True Immortals, showed expressions of disbelief.

They completely could not imagine their Immortal Techniques being effortlessly smashed by a Mortal Cultivator.

Just as if their Dao was effortlessly crushed.

Had they not experienced it personally, they would not believe such absurdity.

"Indeed, this is the Heavenly Destiny Artifact of the Void Realm, a formidable Immortal Artifact, hence possesses such power."

"Not just that, the origin of the Void Realm is amazingly thick, this Immortal Artifact can anytime borrow the origin of this Great Thousand World, as long as inside this realm, it can maintain invincibility."

"The battle is not against this Mortal Cultivator, but the Heavenly Dao of the Void Realm, hence it’s so frightening."

"Cannot continue like this, staying here leads only to death, urgently withdraw from the Void Realm."

"Indeed, only our power is insufficient, need more True Immortals to descend."

"If we could gather a dozen True Immortals, we could thoroughly blow up this realm."

Blood Tooth Daoist, Ghostly Mist Daoist, and Blood Vortex Daoist’s eyes flickered, exchanging Divine Sense among each other, almost instantaneously making a decision, they were already contemplating retreat.

As powerful True Immortals, living unknown lengths of time, naturally knowing when to advance and when to retreat.

Those stubborn True Immortals, long perished in the Ancient Era, impossible to live till today.

Honestly, they did not anticipate the Void Realm’s origin being so powerful.

Even more unexpected was a Mortal Cultivator being able to effortlessly mobilize the world’s origin.

As if this young one was the world’s own child.

"Indeed, ordinary Mahayana Cultivators, ordinary Child of Destiny could not achieve this."

"The reason I resonate so well with the Heavenly Dao of the Void Realm is due to my mastery of the Path of Destiny."

"The Path of Destiny not only grasps the fate of all beings but also masters the destiny of the world."

"Moreover, I have gained the Innate Merit of the Void Realm, obtained the merit of salvation, hence I bear the fate of countless beings of the Void Realm, enabling such perfect manipulation of the Void Realm’s Origin Energy."

"If replaced by other Children of Destiny, certainly could not achieve this."

"Even if able to stir some Origin Energy of the Void Realm, impossible to perfectly manipulate every strand of energy."

Jiang Fan’s eyes revealed a trace of insight.

He sensed his Primordial Spirit seemingly merged with the Void Realm, able to clearly perceive every particle of dust, every living being, everything within the Void Realm.

Everything seemed to exist within his body.

This feeling is incredibly wondrous, as if he is the creator of the Void Realm.

"Indeed, these three True Immortals seem to intend to escape?"

"But it’s already too late; the moment they entered the Void Realm was their time to die."

Instantly, Jiang Fan sensed the emotions of the three True Immortals of the Greed Race.

This is some characteristic of the Path of Destiny, able to easily sense the other’s thoughts.

Even True Immortals find it difficult to avoid.

Previously not killing them, merely because he wished to see how powerful True Immortals were, hence only symbolically probing.

Now, since the probing is complete, they need not remain.

Moreover, once these three True Immortals are slain, the benefits to the Void Realm are massive.

Because each True Immortal contains Origin Energy comparable to an ordinary Mortal World.

If able to Devour the energy of three True Immortals, equates to Devouring the Origin Energy of three Great Thousand Worlds.

Thus, needless to say, after Devouring the three True Immortals, the Void Realm’s power will elevate to an even mightier level.
