Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1157: Chapter 560: Obtaining the Ancient Demon Emperor Order and Shocking the Southern Continent (Part 2)

If it were in a previous era, a Divinity Transformation Demon Beast founding a country would have been completely feasible, they could become a dominant power, but the era has long changed.

A mere Divinity Transformation Demon Beast has no chance of founding a country, unless they advance to Refining Void.

No, even a Void Refining Demon Beast is no longer possible.

Since as many as twenty-eight Void Refining Demon Beasts have been slain by humans, one can imagine how ruthless humans truly are.

”Humans are truly terrifying, how could they become so powerful?”

”Isn’t it? Twenty-eight Tier Six Great Demons, just killed like that with no warning at all.”

”How foolish of me to think that humans staying behind city walls were due to a lack of strength, who would have thought they simply lacked population, indifferent to other territories.”

”It’s indeed so; humans didn’t attack us purely because we pose no threat. Once a threat arises, then the end is near.”

”Alas, this continent has always been the realm of human cultivators; we Demon Beasts are too weak.”

”Continuing like this, we’re ultimately on a dead end. Now, what should we do.”

Numerous Demon Beasts were in a heated discussion, each one worried, feeling their future was bleak.

After all, the threat from humans constantly looms over them.

Previously, they were allowed to exist simply because humans didn’t perceive them as threats.

But if humans decide to take action, wouldn’t they be doomed?!

The feeling of having their lives and deaths controlled by the enemy makes them extremely uncomfortable.

”Now, the only way is to surrender.”

A Tier Five Demon Beast spoke, offering its plan.

”Surrender? What does that mean?”

Many Demon Beasts were puzzled.

”It’s just as it says.”

”Perhaps you don’t know, but humans actually don’t reject other species.”

”In the Primordial Talisman Sect, there are many Spirit Beasts.”

”In short, alien beings recognized by them are Spirit Beasts; those not recognized are Demon Beasts.”

”If one can become a Spirit Beast, they can walk freely in human society.”

”Moreover, there’s no need to worry about being hunted by human cultivators.”

”So now, our only option is to become Spirit Beasts of the Primordial Talisman Sect.”

This Tier Five Demon Beast explained.

It was ready to surrender, abandon darkness for light, and become a Spirit Beast of the Primordial Talisman Sect.

That way, it could completely eliminate the threat from human cultivators.

”What are you joking about, surrendering to humans? That’s simply disgraceful.”

”We are great Demon Beasts. With a long Lifespan, how can we surrender to these short-lived species?”

As soon as these words were spoken, many Demon Beasts started shaking their heads in refusal.

They were unwilling to surrender to humans; this was almost indistinguishable from becoming slaves to humans.

To them, it was a disgrace, absolutely unacceptable.

”Not surrendering means death.”

”Earlier, all twenty-eight Void Refining Demon Beasts died.”

”I guess that human Void Refining wouldn’t mind easily taking us down, too.”

”For that mighty figure, killing us is probably as easy as blowing a breath.”

This Tier Five Demon Beast sneered, looking at its companions.

With the situation like this, why maintain this unnecessary pride?

Pride is indeed important, but it must match strength.

If one surrenders to the weak, it’s naturally a shame.

But the other side is excessively strong, so surrendering doesn’t count as anything.

In the world of Demon Beasts, whoever is strong is the boss.

Naturally, someone who can easily kill so many Tier Six Great Demons is a strong figure.

Surrendering to humans is not shameful at all; instead, it’s an honor.

”This.”

Upon hearing these words, many Demon Beasts fell silent, speechless.

They had indeed underestimated human cultivators earlier, thinking humans were so weak; how could they occupy such a vast territory?

But now, they were slapped awake; the terrifying strength of humans is simply beyond imagination.

No wonder they could become the absolute rulers of this continent.

Those Tier Six Great Demons were terrifying; no one understood better than them.

Yet now, they were casually crushed by human cultivators.

Comparing the two sides is enough to prove the terrifying power of the human factions, definitely reaching an appalling degree.

”Anyway, I’m thinking of abandoning darkness for light, wanting to join the Primordial Talisman Sect.”

”Following a strong figure in this era isn’t shameful; it’s just changing bosses.”

”After all, I don’t want to be caught unaware by a group of human cultivators, to be hunted.”

”As for how you choose, I don’t care. I just hope you won’t regret your decision later.”

This Tier Five Demon Beast said indifferently.

It must be said that its words were indeed very persuasive and had convinced quite a number of Tier Five Demon Beasts.

On this continent, if one doesn’t want to die, becoming a Spirit Beast is necessary.

Being a Demon Beast holds no prospects.

...

Several days later, in another region of the Southern Continent.

Various ancient sect cultivators were also aware of the news of Ten Thousand Demon Hall’s annihilation.

This left them incredibly shocked, finding it hard to believe.

”No way, is this news true or false, was Ten Thousand Demon Hall annihilated?”

”That was as many as twenty-eight Void Refining Demon Cultivators, not twenty-eight chickens, just crushed like that?”

”How was this achieved?”

One Void Refining Cultivator felt incredulous, thinking the news was too absurd, ridiculously false.

Although he had considered the possibility of Ten Thousand Demon Hall failing, he never thought they would fail so miserably.

Not a single Refining Void Great Demon could escape alive, slaughtered by the Sect Leader of Primordial Talisman Sect.

His mind was buzzing now.

”This news is indeed true, it’s already spread across the Southern Continent.”

”Even the corpse of the Refining Void Perfection Six-Winged Flaming Tiger is being paraded around for display.”

”This is bound to enrage Ten Thousand Demon Hall.”

Someone said with much emotion.

He was secretly relieved that he hadn’t acted rashly to deal with Primordial Talisman Sect before.

Otherwise, they would have faced the same miserable fate as those Refining Void Demon Cultivators of Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

In unfamiliar territories, being cautious is generally better.

Especially considering how deep the waters of the Void Realm are.

No one knows how much power is hidden in this world.

A slight indiscretion could lead to a miserable death in this world.

”Enrage, so what? The laws of the Void Realm are too powerful, cultivators beyond Refining Void can’t enter.”

”If they send in Refining Void, it’s purely a suicide mission.”

”Although Ten Thousand Demon Hall is indeed very powerful, wanting to act at will in the Void Realm is impossible.”

”I’m guessing they can only endure this matter, unable to act against Primordial Talisman Sect.”

Someone sneered, having already seen through the fragility of Ten Thousand Demon Hall.

Outside, Ten Thousand Demon Hall is indeed very powerful, commanding respect.

But in the Void Realm, they cannot deploy more power in here.

Now, losing twenty-eight Refining Void Great Demons is enough for them to ache for a long time.

”I’ve long said that the powers of this world are unfathomable. Previously, you didn’t believe it. If we had been as foolish as those Refining Void Great Demons, we’d probably be dead by now, lucky we didn’t leap into action.”

”It’s true, but how did Primordial Talisman Sect accomplish this? These were twenty-eight Refining Void Great Demons; killing them is not an easy task.”

”Honestly, I have a shocking guess, that Primordial Talisman Sect might have mastered an Immortal Artifact; only the power of an Immortal Artifact could instantly kill so many Refining Void Great Demons, leaving them helpless.”

Many ancient sect cultivators discussed, sharing their speculations.

They all suspected that Primordial Talisman Sect possessed a powerful Immortal Artifact, giving them such formidable combat strength that even Void Refining Cultivators couldn’t escape and were killed instantly.

In fact, the Ten Great Immortal Sects each possess Immortal Artifacts, which is why they are so powerful, dominating all directions.

An Immortal Artifact can be said to be the sect treasure of a superpower.

If they can wield a bit of the Immortal Artifact’s might, it’s enough to submerge lands, overturn the heavens and earth.

”If Primordial Talisman Sect truly possesses an Immortal Artifact, then it indeed cannot be provoked.”

”The might of an Immortal Artifact is truly terrifying.”

A Void Refining Cultivator remarked in awe.

He once observed a sect’s Immortal Artifact from afar; even a trace of its might nearly killed him.

This is a terrifying weapon beyond the Mortal World, enough to uphold the destiny of a sect for countless years.
