Chapter 690 - 33 Heavenly Domains

Chapter 690 - 33 Heavenly Domains

The Law Enforcement Hall executive clutched his bleeding wound, his face ghostly pale, resentment flashing in his eyes.

“Elder Xiao, those people from Peerless Peak, they...”

They had gone to the Peerless Peak to demand that they hand over Chen Fan. Instead of succeeding, he ended up losing an arm. Even their bigshot, Elder Xiao Qianhe, was forced to retreat in humiliation.

Too stifling!

The Law Enforcement Hall rarely experienced such a stifling defeat.

Only Peerless Peak dared to humiliate them this way—none of the other eight major peaks had ever gone this far.

The Peerless Peak truly showed zero regard for their Law Enforcement Hall.

Xiao Qianhe’s face was also ashen, his expression so dark it seemed like a storm was about to break.

As a respected elder of the Law Enforcement Hall and a peak Manifestation realm expert, being forced to back down was a bitter pill to swallow. It was nothing short of humiliating.

“They what! What about them!" Xiao Qianhe snapped. "Those Peerless Peak lunatics! Who told you to mess with them? Not only did our Law Enforcement Hall lack a valid reason, but even if we did, what could we have done if they refused to hand Chen Fan over? Ask the Hall Master to take action personally?” Xiao Qianhe roared angrily at this executive.

His loss of face at Peerless Peak was unbearable, and he needed to vent his rage. Naturally, the executive became his target.

“I’m warning you people, don't mess with those Peerless Peak lunatics for no reason. Have you forgotten how the Third Elder died fifty years ago? Even the academy’s higher-ups struggle to deal with them. You bunch of ignorant fools, you really tried to kill Chen Fan at the city gates after receiving some benefits? That too in the open, allowing others to see your weakness. You utter fools!” Xiao Qianhe only grew angrier as he scolded them.

He was aware of the root cause of this matter. He wouldn’t have backed down so easily if they had a valid reason in this situation. Xiao Qianhe would have marched straight to Elder Tian Xing.

The Law Enforcement Hall harbored great enmity against the Peerless Peak due to them killing the Third Elder. The Peerless Peak’s people were especially an eyesore for Elder Tian Xing.

If he could seize the right opportunity, no matter how overwhelmingly powerful the Peerless Peak was, they would find themselves in the wrong if things escalated to the academy’s higher-ups. Elder Tian Xing had always wanted to find a chance to take revenge for the matter back then.

However, Qi Cheng and the others had acted foolishly. Not only did they take their actions into the open, but they also failed to take down Chen Fan in the end.

If they had killed Chen Fan on the spot, that would have been the end of it—they would have annoyed Zhang Daoling by eliminating a genius he highly valued.

“People often talk about cultivating and becoming an immortal, or ascending into an immortal. Immortals do indeed exist. They are in the Upper Realm’s 33 Heavenly Domains.

“Of course, these things are still a little too far away for you. This is just a quick explanation to give you a rough idea of the situation.

“Moreover, we humans are not the only race in this universe. There are many other races, like barbarians, spirits, merman, elves, demons, and more.

“The Demon Hunting Competition involves hunting the demon race, which includes blood demons and evil path cultivators. They are a very wicked race that loves to invade and destroy other continents.

“Our True Martial Academy is in control of a microcosm, which is a fragment of a demon race’s continent. Our ancestors confined it using their immense powers, and we use it as a training ground for our disciples.

“There are many demons inside this Little Demon Realm. After thousands of years of reproduction, they’ve formed a demon kingdom that includes Heavenly Star and Manifestation realm figures.

“You rookies will enter the Little Demon Realm to hunt the demon race. The more you kill, the more points you accumulate, and the higher your ranking will be.

“How well you rookies perform directly determines how much resources the various factions receive. The better you perform, the more cultivation resources we get.

“As you know, we at the Peerless Peak have few people. We’re at a disadvantage compared to the other peaks. We haven’t accepted any new disciples in the last century, so no one participated in the Demon Hunting Competition. Naturally, we had no achievements and received the least amount of resources.

“But now that you’re here, you’ll be our sole participant. We don’t expect too much from you. Given your talent, we don’t need you to surpass the other eight major peaks, but you should at least aim for the top ten. Are you confident you can achieve that?”

Chen Fan’s face sank.

The other peaks had plenty of disciples. Even though they weren’t strong enough, they were many, which ensured that their final points would be very high.

On the other hand, Chen Fan had to make it into the top ten by himself. The difficulty of this mission was extraordinarily high.

But what could he say?

He nodded and said with a stiff expression, “No problem.”

“Haha, I knew you would have no problem.” Di Chen and the others broke out into laughter, an unusual look flashing across their eyes.

1. The 33 Heavenly Domains was hinted at in Ch 456 after Chen Fan escaped from the big head, Yama Devil Emperor, who was stuck in a bloody world inside Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range. ☜
