Chapter 693 - The Demon Hunting Competition Begins
Chen Fan had become completely oblivious to the world around him.
The two Martial Dao Will Fragments had distinct powers. So, they worked as great reference material for Chen Fan to gain a better understanding.
On this day, Chen Fan slowly opened his eyes. A brilliant light flashed across his eyes.
“So, this is the Martial Dao Will,” muttered Chen Fan to himself.
A faint, hazy glow emanated from the center of his palm. This was the Martial Dao Will he had comprehended, a reflection of his own essence.
Unlike Jian Qi’s pure sword path will, which shattered obstacles with unparalleled sharpness in a single stroke, this power of Martial Dao Will lacked any specific attributes.
Instead, it embodied the chaos of all things.
While he was comprehending his Martial Dao Will, the small golden person in his glabella said something in the divine language. This propelled Chen Fan’s divine will from the Tianwu Continent into the vast starry sky of the universe.
In that moment, he glimpsed the birth and destruction of a universe, witnessing the evolution of chaos. A flash of lightning illuminated his mind as he comprehended this Martial Dao Will of chaos.
“I wonder if my Martial Dao Will is strong or weak?”
A luster flashed across Chen Fan’s eyes.
The strength of a Martial Dao Will power determined whether a Heavenly Star realm expert was strong or weak relative to those in the same level and their growth potential. The stronger their Martial Dao Will, the greater their strength and potential, given equal cultivation levels.
However, Chen Fan believed that his Martial Dao Will wouldn’t be too weak.
After all, he had achieved this understanding with the help of the small golden figure, which had guided his divine will into the universe and allowed him to witness the cycle of creation and destruction.
Not only that, in the instant he had comprehended chaos, those two Martial Dao Will Fragments melted and were absorbed by chaos.
Chen Fan had never even heard of such a phenomenon before, where someone’s Martial Dao Will absorbed other Martial Dao Wills.
“It’s fine, I can test it out at the Demon Hunting Competition.”
Chen Fan was now confident that he could enter the top ten, as Heavenly Star realm experts were no longer a threat to him.
“I still have a little bit of time. I should push to raise my cultivation level!”
Chen Fan took out a huge amount of primeval stones and ignited them, turning them into a huge mass of pure primeval qi and absorbing it.
Boom, boom!
As the overlord of the eastern continent, the True Martial Academy had hundreds of thousands of disciples. Aside from the nine strongest peaks, it also had some other, weaker, peaks.
Not every disciple of the True Martial Academy could enter the nine major peaks; it depended on their strength and talent. Only those who caught the interest of the nine major peaks could gain entry.
What about those who didn’t attract the nine major peaks' favor?
They would find acceptance in some weaker peaks. And while they were called “weaker,” that was only when compared to nine peaks.
Outside, these “weaker” peaks would be considered a very powerful sect, as their peak masters were all Manifestation realm experts.
Currently, the Demon Realm Platform was—in a manner of speaking—divided clearly.
As soon as Chen Fan’s group arrived, they instantly captured the attention of countless onlookers, who cast their gazes toward them one after another.
“Quick, look, the Peerless Peak’s people are here!”
As one of the nine major peaks of the True Martial Academy, although the Peerless Peak had few members, every one of them was an elite. Take Di Chen, for example. He was comparable to the peak masters of those weaker peaks. No one dared to look upon him lightly.
Moreover, Chen Fan had stirred up a storm as soon as he entered the True Martial Academy. He killed the Law Enforcement Hall’s disciples in public and resisted a Heavenly Star realm expert’s strike, while a Peerless Peak disciple, Jian Qi, severed Kang Hong’s arm in one stroke.
Even when the Law Enforcement Hall’s executive and elder went to the Peerless Peak to demand they hand them over to be punished, the Peerless Peak sent them packing.
Although half a year had already passed since the incident, and the storm had subsided, there were still people who would bring it up from time to time.
Furthermore, Chen Fan had caused a bloodbath on the Gen Road, leaving a trail of dead geniuses and experts in his wake, earning him the nickname “Killing God” and shaking the eastern continent.
He was already a famous figure himself. Naturally, he would draw the people’s attention wherever he went.
As Chen Fan and the others arrived, the crowd began to buzz with discussion.
“Peerless Peak is nothing, believe me. They have so few people that they could be considered withering.”
“That’s nonsense! They have a few people, but each and every one of them is a monster, invincible at their level. You see that man at the front? He’s called Di Chen, the second disciple of the Peerless Peak. It’s said that no one under the Legendary realm can kill him.
“That’s the third disciple, Duanmu Lingxing. She might appear peaceful and calm, but in truth, she’s also a vicious character who kills people like flies. They are all lunatics. It would be in your best interest to not go mess with them.”
“Mess with the Peerless Peak? You must be crazy! Haven’t you heard? It’s better to clash with the Law Enforcement Hall than with the Peerless Peak. Fifty years ago, Huang Wuji, single-handedly stormed the Law Enforcement Hall and killed their third elder, who was a Lesser Legendary realm expert. Their fierce reputation is well-earned through blood!”
“That’s right. The Peerless Peak only has nine people in total, with eight of them being disciples. They might be few in numbers, but this group is definitely the last one you’d want to provoke in the True Martial Academy.”
“......”
The crowd began discussing when they saw Chen Fan and the others arrive.
