Chapter 698 - 448: Strike and Mutation
Late into the night, surrounding the Ancient Cyan Sea.
Other than discussing with fellow Daoists at Zhenxu Hall, Wang Zhifan didn’t stop for the entire day, either hunting Demon Venerables or rushing on the way to hunt them.
Today, he not only solo-killed two Demon Venerables, but also participated in six or seven organized hunts against Demon Venerables. His overall achievements were exceptional, though he also witnessed some fellow Daoists unfortunately fall to the Demon Venerables.
As for the Demon Generals and ordinary demons he casually eliminated, they were countless.
After all, whether it’s the Ice Source Power, the Annihilation Aura of the Demon King Battle Armor, or the excellent Thunder Dragon Fury, they are all great tools for clearing trash.
Even though his main focus wasn’t on clearing lesser demons, he still achieved notable results in this area, with most demon troops encountering him along the way meeting a tragic end.
"One thousand fourteen achievement points... I didn’t expect to break the thousand-point barrier in just one day... and my rank has ascended to the top thirty... much faster than anticipated."
At this moment, Wang Zhifan stood on the coast, summoned the Demon Sealing List for inspection.
Initially, he only wanted to check the location of the next Demon Venerable suitable for hunting. But on a whim, he looked at the leaderboard and discovered that his rank had skyrocketed, soaring from last time’s checking at around three hundred straight to twenty-eight. It was an incredible leap.
"The top is still Demon Tathagata, this guy actually has three thousand six achievement points, suspecting he activated the unmatched mode during the big battle... but it’s unclear when Daoist Wutian Wudi became second, trailing Demon Tathagata by only three hundred points... Taixi Confucian Sword and Supreme Element Sovereign have fallen to the third and fourth, each with less than three thousand points, while the fifth is someone unfamiliar, Sovereign Tianhua? Which sect does this expert belong to?"
After glancing at the demon-sealing leaderboard, Wang Zhifan felt unfamiliar with most of the names on it, having only met a few of them during the big battle assembly through mutual verification via the Demon Sealing List, not even exchanging a word.
Seeing Wang Zhifan reviewing the demon-sealing leaderboard, Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber, who fought alongside him for nearly half a day, did the same and took out the Demon Sealing List for research.
She first checked her own rank, at one hundred and twelve, feeling quite satisfied, as with more effort later, there’s hope to break into the top hundred, then she started counting the names on the list turning grey.
"Fifty-five, fifty-six... sixty-one... Fan, by the end of the first day of battle, a total of sixty-one gray names appeared on the Demon Sealing List! Among them, five are within the top hundred!"
After completing the count, the Dragon Maiden reported to Wang Zhifan, who was pondering the next opponent.
"Hmm, losing only sixty-one super-innates on the first day is actually quite good... if not for the Confucian offering of this Demon Sealing List, I dare say this loss would have at least tripled."
Wang Zhifan responded while searching the map for any isolated Demon Venerables.
"Indeed! Without the teleportation capability of the Demon Sealing List, the losses in the big battle would have been catastrophic... Now, it seems we still have great hope of driving out the Demon Realm army as long as we keep fighting."
Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber nodded in agreement.
It can be said that although the Confucian is now restrained by the Demon Queen in the Nine Heavens and unable to help Calamity Realm, his previous arrangements had a profound impact, laying the foundation for victory for the Calamity Realm forces, which are slightly lacking in hard power and unity compared to the Demon Realm army.
The two then ceased idle chat and began their next plan.
Wang Zhifan, with his uncommon physique, experienced no tangible fatigue even after enduring the great battle, remaining at full capacity, decided to continue hunting Demon Venerables without pause.
Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber, seeing his diligence, wanted to continue assisting him but got directly refused.
"Xi, you have participated in many battles today, you must rest and adjust your state!
Otherwise, when really needed, you might find yourself powerless and fall into danger!
As for me not resting, it’s honestly not about showing off, it’s because my innate constitution prevents fatigue, which you might have noticed in the previous battles!
So Xi, go back to Moon Destruction Island and rest for three hours, contact me via the Demon Sealing List if anything urgent comes up!"
After speaking, Wang Zhifan vanished from the edge of the Ancient Cyan Sea, without telling Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber his whereabouts.
If it were an ordinary woman treated this way, it might induce a reverse psychology, compelling her to tough it out and continue fighting, eager to prove herself no less capable.
But Moon-Annihilating Dragon Saber was different, being a realistic individual, knowing Wang Zhifan’s words were genuine, she decisively took his advice, flew into the Ancient Cyan Sea, preparing to return home and rest for a while, and do some guarding work meanwhile.
Simultaneously, using the teleportation ability of the Demon Sealing List, Wang Zhifan appeared almost a hundred thousand miles away in the Hezhou Mountain Range, a place he descended for the first time.
The reason he chose to teleport here was naturally not for tourism or leisure, but because a Demon Venerable appeared here, and in a somewhat isolated state.
"The smell of blood... demonic qi... this is the right place."
He first concealed his aura to ascertain the basic situation, discovering he was currently near a majestically imposing mountain city.
Chaos erupted within the mountain city; houses collapsed, human screams and shouts echoed, accompanied by a grinding chewing sound, resembling a giant devouring its meal in large bites.
