Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 1503: Chapter 698: Ancient Burial Immortal Thunder Tribulation, the Calamity of Ascending to True Immortal

In the depths of the black fog.

More than a dozen Tier One Demon Gods exuded a terrifying aura. Each one possessed a massive body, at least dozens of zhang tall, like towering mountains, their forms covered in densely packed, twisted black Dao Patterns that seemed to distort the surrounding Laws.

They were like deities of a domain, ruling over countless Demons.

At this moment, these Demon Gods sensed the aura emanating from Jiang Fan.

One after another, they grew restless, ferocity unconsciously appearing on their faces.

"Human, that’s the aura of a human Mahayana Cultivator."

"To think a human Cultivator actually dares appear within the black fog—is he seeking death?"

"Indeed, it’s extremely rare for humans to dare leave their own villages."

"Eat him, eat him at once. I can sense dense Life Energy surging from his body. If I devour him, I might be able to advance to the Tier Two Demon God level."

"Impossible, he’s merely a Mahayana Cultivator—how could the Life Energy on his body be so dense?"

"Hahaha, no need to worry about that. Once we devour him, we’ll obtain his memories, and then we’ll know what this brat’s origin is."

The many Tier One Demon Gods muttered among themselves.

Their figures flickered, and in an instant they flew toward the direction where Jiang Fan was.

At the same time, the countless Demons deep within the black fog surged like a tide, spreading forth as if a colossal demonic tide had erupted, sweeping across this stretch of heaven and earth.

Of course, such commotion was also detected by the many Magical Treasures.

"Master, a large number of Demons nearby are surrounding us. I’m afraid we’ve been discovered."

The Ten Thousand Transformations Immortal Cauldron’s expression changed drastically. It had never imagined that right after ascending to the Immortal Realm, they would encounter such a calamity.

This was simply far too unlucky.

"They are not ordinary Demons, but Demon Gods."

"So-called Demon Gods are existences that surpass common Demons."

"Tier One Demon Gods are equivalent to True Immortals, Tier Two Demon Gods equivalent to Earth Immortals."

"Who would have thought so many Tier One Demon Gods would appear in this place?"

"Master is merely a Mahayana Cultivator and likely not their match. It’s better to flee at once."

The Heaven-Stealing Ladder spoke immediately.

It could sense the densely packed demonic auras spreading from all directions, flooding toward them like a deluge.

Moreover, more than ten Tier One Demon Gods had already appeared; as time passed, even more Demon Gods might arrive.

In short, if they continued to stay here, it would definitely be certain death.

The other Magical Treasures shared the same thought.

After all, this place was unfamiliar and strange; there was absolutely no need to remain and fight the enemy to the bitter end.

To rush into battle rashly would be nothing but courting death.

"There’s no need for such trouble."

"We just need to annihilate all these Demon Gods."

Jiang Fan’s heart stirred. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated his Primordial Spirit Power.

He sensed his Primordial Spirit spreading outward, permeating the depths of the void, instantly rousing the Laws of the Immortal Realm.

The Dao Seed within his body seemed to resonate with the Immortal Realm Laws.

In an instant, the entire world fell into deathly silence.

A heartbeat ago the skies were clear for ten thousand li, and in the next instant, a supreme Tribulation might from the Ancient Era directly pierced through the myriad heavens and worlds and descended with a roar.

There was no forewarning, no gradual buildup—within a single breath, ink-black Tribulation clouds, with Jiang Fan at their center, swept out madly, expanding to blanket the heavens and cover the earth.

In just a few breaths, they completely shrouded a territory of a full million kilometers, boundless and endless, veiling heaven and obscuring sun and moon; the sun, moon, and stars were instantly utterly devoured. Between heaven and earth, not a trace of light remained, only a deathly darkness so thick it could not be dispersed.

These were not the usual cloud vapors of a Celestial Tribulation, but an Immortal-Burial Tribulation cloud formed from the grievances of Immortals and gods who had fallen through the ages, the punishment of the Heaven and Earth Laws, and the Power of Destruction from the Ancient Times.

Heavy as an eternal divine prison, oppressive to the extreme; the mere descent of its pressure caused the void to begin shattering inch by inch.

One after another, colossal pitch-black Space rifts spanning heaven and earth spread madly from the base of the Tribulation clouds. Within the fissures, chaotic currents surged, space-time fragments crumbled, and even the most stable Heaven and Earth Laws, under this Burial Immortal Power, let out a cry of unbearable strain and broke apart piece by piece.

Heaven and earth phenomena erupted together, all living beings trembled.

At the instant the Tribulation clouds took shape, endless heaven and earth visions exploded simultaneously:

Above the firmament, blurry phantoms of Ancient Immortals and gods emerged, their faces filled with sorrow as they bent and kowtowed, as if worshiping this calamity of world-ending rarity;

The stars of the Nine Heavens all shattered, starlight extinguished, leaving only boundless darkness, as though the heavens themselves were mourning the impending Immortal-Burial Tribulation;

The earth trembled in utter madness; across the million-li territory, ten-thousand-zhang mountains collapsed with thunderous booms, the land split open into bottomless chasms, rivers reversed their flow, lakes and seas boiled, the ancient Spirit Veins buried deep underground all wailed in agony, Spiritual Qi frantically dissipated, and even Immortal ores and divine materials buried for hundreds of millions of years turned directly to ash under the Tribulation might.

Between heaven and earth, any living being possessing intelligence—whether Demon Beast, strange spirit, or reclusive Cultivator—could not help but prostrate on the ground, their whole bodies trembling, Divine Souls on the verge of shattering.

"Damn, what in the world is happening? Why is the True Immortal Tribulation so terrifying?"

"This is not an ordinary Immortal Tribulation, but the legendary Ancient Burial Immortal Thunder Tribulation."

"It’s said that none who fall beneath this kind of Immortal Tribulation are anything less than peerless monstrous geniuses of the Immortal Realm."

"It’s over, this is over. Master’s talent is too monstrous, he has already aroused the jealousy of heaven and earth."

The many Magical Treasures and Immortal Artifacts all turned ashen-faced, expressions filled with disbelief.

They had witnessed countless Immortal Tribulations.

But this was actually the legendary Ancient Burial Immortal Thunder Tribulation—this was simply something they had never seen nor even heard of.
