Chapter 696 - Hunting Demons

The Little Demon Realm was desolate as far as the eye could see.

Hellish ghost fires flickered everywhere, and the sky remained dusky, with no sign of day, night, or changing seasons.

This was the true environment of the demon realm.

Even skilled human martial artists felt uncomfortable in this harsh environment, let alone ordinary people with no chance of survival here.

The harsh environment, however, made the demons here especially powerful. They also craved the favorable environment of the human world.

For countless years, the demons of the Hell Demon Realm had sought ways to invade and claim the human world, viewing humans as an inferior species, undeserving of such a good place.

Chen Fan stood in the Little Demon Realm, saturated with everlasting demonic qi.

The dark gold soil was hard, making him feel like he was walking on metal.

"I'll avoid the others for now. It would be bad for me if they surrounded me. Better to head deeper and see if I can find any opportunities.”

He flickered and disappeared. Alone in the Little Demon Realm, he moved like a fish in water, making it nearly impossible to find him.

The rookies from the other peaks were likely still moving as a group, so they could overwhelm him with their numbers. And while he didn’t fear the other rookies, he was smart enough to know that he would be at a disadvantage if a large battle broke out.

Woo, woo, woo, woo...

A chilling wind blew, like sharp blades slashing on Chen Fan’s protective true primeval, producing bursts of sparks.

This chilling wind was the Wind of Avici, which was strong enough to kill a first-level Divine Nascent realm expert.

The Little Demon Realm, though just a fragment of the Hell Demon Realm, was vast beyond comprehension, its boundaries unseen.

Suddenly, a massive demon appeared, sensing Chen Fan’s presence amidst the sinister wind.

This demon had two horns, like a bull demon. However, its horns were curved and forked, and its eyes were blood-red. At the center of its forehead, a third demonic eye, known as the Demonic Eye of Avici, continuously emitted the lethal Wind of Avici.

This was an ancient bull demon, a powerful creature in the half-step Heavenly Star realm, and Chen Fan had unknowingly trespassed into its territory.

Having entered the Little Demon Realm to hunt demons and accumulate points, Chen Fan naturally couldn't let this opportunity pass. So, he unleashed another palm strike.

Cracks spread across the bull demon, extending to every corner until it shattered completely. All signs of life vanished in an instant, as the once-mighty demon met its end with no trace of vitality left behind.

Next, Chen Fan surveyed the surroundings. This was a huge mountain range, dark and heavy, with countless bull demons thriving within it.

“This is an ancient mountain range.”

When Chen Fan killed the half-step Heavenly Star realm bull demon, a swarm of smaller bull demons stirred. They belonged to the Divine Nascent realm or Core Formation realm and were clearly the descendants of the slain demon.

Although Core Formation realm demons were worth very few points, Chen Fan did not overlook them. No matter how small, mosquitoes were still meat.

He raced through the ancient mountain range like a gust of wind, summoning the Heaven Seizing Furnace into the sky as the refining flames enveloped the world.

A sea of flames would engulf every part of the mountain range he visited. All those little bull demons died to the Heaven Seizing Furnace.

Chen Fan felt a surge of points on his Score Token, and a scoreboard materialized in his mind. In no time, countless names appeared on the scoreboard, with scores continuously rising.

He saw several mysterious figures at the top. Their scores were rising non-stop by the hundreds at a very fast speed. They were the leading figures of the various halls.

Chen Fan had also racked up many points in the ancient mountain range, positioning himself within the upper echelons of the rankings, firmly in the top hundred.

“Although I’m ranked within the top hundred in solo points, Peerless Peak’s overall score has fallen outside the top hundred, landing at the bottom.”

Chen Fan observed the cumulative scores of other halls surge. Their numerical advantage was undeniable, showcasing their dominance in the competition.

“Haaa, if I want Peerless Peak to break into the top ten, I need to rack up a massive amount of points. I’ve got to go on a killing spree!” Chen Fan exclaimed, shaking his head in frustration.

For the other halls, their total score was the sum of hundreds, or even thousands of disciples, while the Peerless Peak’s score was whatever Chen Fan had. There was simply no way to compete.

Still, Chen Fan was not in a hurry. The competition had just begun, and it wasn’t stipulated that one could not rob others of their points.

He decided to let the other competitors gather their points first. Ultimately, all those points would belong to him anyway.

With this thought, Chen Fan’s mood lifted. He focused his gaze through the layers of demonic fog, seeing clearly for fifty thousand kilometers ahead.
