"Finally out."

Que Jinling looked back at the crimson earth behind them, still feeling a lingering fear.

The crimson earth, like pieces of wriggling flesh, with rivers of blood flowing like swimming flood dragons, divided the land and made the entire area appear more sinister and terrifying.

Various strange beasts roamed and fought within the rivers of the earth.

"The real test for us lies ahead."

Jiang Chuan gazed into the distance, his brow furrowed.

Golden flames, like molten lava erupting from a volcano, surged from the sea and burned fiercely.

Vaguely visible, towering peaks, magnificent palaces, vast fields of medicinal herbs, and many other strange sights continuously moved within the flames.

Que Jinling's eyes were filled with curiosity and eagerness.

"Is this the Void Turbulence? I wonder if we can also gain opportunities from it like the legendary cultivators."

The war between humans and demons had raged so fiercely that the great sun fell from the sky. The intense battle had pierced the void.

Many sects and grotto-heavens that originally resided here were blasted into the boundless void.

In the history of the Qingyuan Realm, many cultivators who came to the Sunfall Sea mistakenly entered the Void Turbulence, found their way into ancient ruins, obtained inheritances and treasures, and rose to become great powers.

Of course, even more cultivators were swept into the Void Turbulence and died without their bodies intact.

"I often ponder the evolution of fate and observe the workings of the Heavenly Dao. I believe some opportunities should actively seek me out," Jiang Chuan said seriously.

Well, if I don't get any opportunities, I'll blame Jiang Daode and Dragon Transformation Venerable.

Boom!

A colossal sound shook the sky.

It was as if an ancient demon god had awakened from its slumber, raising its head and letting out a long roar.

Under Jiang Chuan's gaze, a pitch-black mountain peak, like a shooting star, tore through the void and burst out from the Void Turbulence.

It was heading directly towards Jiang Chuan!

Que Jinling's almond-shaped eyes widened, her delicate face filled with surprise.

"Opportunities are really coming?!"

Jiang Chuan was also stunned at this moment.

"I just said it casually, and opportunities really came? Am I truly the Child of Destiny?"

At the same time, cultivators, either riding swords or transforming into rainbows, flew towards Jiang Chuan's location.

"Another ancient ruin has appeared!"

"It's been a hundred years since a ruin last appeared. We absolutely cannot miss this one."

"The ruins that appeared a hundred years ago were taken by an elder from Ziwei Star City. Hopefully, no major powers will interfere this time."

"I originally came to the Sunfall Sea to try my luck at the Kun Tian Immortal Mansion, but I didn't expect to encounter the appearance of an ancient ruin! Truly, heaven is helping me!"

Crack! Crack! Crack!

As the mountain peak gradually approached the Qingyuan Realm, cracks extending for dozens of miles emerged from the void.

From a distance, the entire sky looked like a shattered silver mirror, full of cracks.

Jiang Chuan also got a clear view of the mountain peak's full appearance.

The pitch-black mountain peak was barren, covered entirely with corpses.

These corpses varied in size, including divine birds hundreds of feet tall, coiled dragons with scales like armor, and even human cultivators with an ethereal and elegant demeanor.

Through these corpses, Jiang Chuan could feel the brutality of the past war between humans and demons.

"My act of helping Que Jinling infiltrate Bamboo Immortal Island can already be considered treason against humanity. Fortunately, this is just a simulation; otherwise, I'd be universally condemned."

Just as Jiang Chuan was contemplating this, a demonic cultivator, who was cross-legged on the mountain peak with golden horns on his head and a sinister appearance, suddenly opened his eyes.

Blood-red eyes, like two blood-red suns.

Instantly, they illuminated the sky, and a terrifying killing intent swept across heaven and earth.

"Kill! All Future Buddha Successors deserve to die!"

"Damn it! This isn't an opportunity; it's clearly a death warrant!"

Jiang Chuan felt his scalp tingle.

The Future Star Sutra he cultivated was created by the Future Star Venerable Buddha.

And the Future Star Venerable Buddha was the designated future leader of Buddhism by the World Immeasurable Venerable Buddha.

Therefore, Jiang Chuan was a genuine Future Buddha Successor.

"Run!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Chuan grabbed Que Jinling and prepared to flee.

Boom!

The demon cultivator on the mountain peak raised its hand and grabbed at Jiang Chuan.

Its massive hand, like churning dark clouds, obscured the sky and reached for Jiang Chuan and the many cultivators waiting for opportunities to appear.

"You think a primordial demon with only a lingering will dares to act so savagely?"

A delicate voice emerged from a female cultivator wearing pink, her face charming and alluring.

The next moment, a purple treasure bead flew from the female cultivator's hand.

The purple treasure bead, like a purple immortal moon, soared into the sky, meeting the giant hand.

Boom!

The giant hand exploded, transforming into a torrent of demonic energy that swept in all directions.

"I knew it. Those who dare to come to the Sunfall Sea for opportunities must include some powerhouses," Jiang Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect fellow Daoist Jiang Lan to be here too. It looks like this ruin will be taken by the Mortal World Demonic Sect," an old man in a straw raincoat said slowly.

Jiang Lan pursed her lips and chuckled, "Everyone relies on their own abilities. However, I don't see any fellow Daoists from the Bodhi Temple here. Why did that old demon say he wanted to kill the Future Buddha Successor?"

"It's not strange for a dead demon's fractured will to be delirious," the old man in the straw raincoat replied.

"How dare you block me! You all court death!"

The demon cultivator on the mountain peak spoke again, its voice grating like grinding metal.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chuan pulled Que Jinling and rushed directly into the Sunfall Sea.

Que Jinling looked confused, "Jiang Chuan, aren't we going to compete for the opportunity anymore?"

"I suggest you kill yourself now. At least then you'll have a complete corpse," Jiang Chuan replied irritably.

Que Jinling: "…"

She's your future Dao Companion, after all.

Can't you speak a little more politely?

Jiang Chuan had heard of Jiang Lan from the Mortal World Demonic Sect before. She was a genuine Sixth Realm expert.

He and Que Jinling were both Third Realm cultivators. Together, they weren't even enough for Jiang Lan to swat with one hand.

Not to mention the old man in the straw raincoat, the many other cultivators, and the ancient demon sitting on the mountain peak who wanted to kill him.

If they had stayed any longer, Jiang Chuan felt he would have been doomed!

[You, along with Que Jinling, fled into the Sunfall Sea.]

[The mountain peak smashed into the Qingyuan Realm from the spatial turbulence, leaving behind only the unwilling demon cultivator's resentful will, who then engaged in a fierce battle with the many cultivators.]

[The intense battle shook the heavens and earth, stirring up monstrous waves in the Sunfall Sea.]

[Golden solar flames scattered and surged.]

[You and Que Jinling were caught in the crossfire, finding yourselves in perilous situations.]

[Fortunately, you used the Darkness Space to continuously devour the solar golden flames, thereby preserving both your lives and Que Jinling's.]

[Using Shen Gongming's map, you led Que Jinling to a sea area filled with scattered islands like a starry sky.]

"The Bone Remolding Pill should be here," Que Jinling said excitedly.

Jiang Chuan, however, wore a grave expression, "Our trouble has arrived."

"Trouble? What…"

Before Que Jinling could finish speaking, she saw a golden rainbow piercing through the solar golden flames and rushing towards the two of them.

Sensing a familiar aura, Que Jinling knew this must be the demon cultivator from the mountain peak, controlling an avatar to pursue them.

"This avatar of his isn't strong. It's at most in the early Fourth Realm. We should be able to handle it."

"No, I'll handle it myself."

A fighting spirit flickered in Jiang Chuan's eyes, "I'm very curious now, just how strong am I?"

Comprehending numerous sect-level scriptures and divine abilities like the Future Star Sutra, the Supreme Yang Limitless Body, and the Void Devouring Scripture had caused Jiang Chuan's strength to surge.

He wanted to use the ancient demon's avatar to test just how strong he had become.
