Chapter 260: Chapter 0257: Dad, He’s So Scary
Kunyu Mountain Interior.
"Such dense demonic energy, it’s close to becoming tangible. Forming demons out of demonic mist—unheard of and unseen. Yet it’s not impossible. Moreover, the demons within these mists will likely have their strength massively elevated, while even celestial and demonic powers alike will be suppressed here."
Lin Fan sensed the influence of the demonic mist on himself.
For ordinary mortals who linger here too long,
they’ll likely be transformed into demons.
The surrounding trees were withering; their once-green leaves fell to the ground, turning brittle and yellow, breaking apart with a crunch. Many branches snapped off, littering the terrain, and stepped upon, they made a creaking sound.
Lin Fan activated his Innate Divine Ability, the Divine Power of Life Sensing, seeking traces of demons.
"The scent is a bit faint."
He led the mad old man toward another direction, deliberately avoiding the area with the densest demonic mist—where he had no interest in venturing.
Simply put,
some of the greatest celestial, demonic, and infernal powers were gathered there. Lin Fan harbored minor resentment toward the Demon Path factions. While it was unlikely that an old demon like the Corpse Heavenly Fiend would make an appearance, the Demon Ancestor’s presence was highly probable.
So it was better not to meddle unnecessarily.
For now, he would hunt some demons in the surrounding area. If he was lucky and gained some Mana, the venture would hardly be a loss.
Not long after,
he noticed the oppressive atmosphere nearby.
When encountering such a feeling, it was almost certain—trouble loomed ahead, with demons lurking nearby, ready to spring from hidden corners to pounce, claw, and tear their prey into pieces.
"Dad, there’s danger."
The mad old man trembled violently. He was timid; fear overtook him in the face of danger. He was a good kid, uninterested in disputes, only wishing to live peacefully.
"Come on, let’s go take a leak, no need to panic. Whatever happens, your dad’s got you covered." Lin Fan wasn’t about to let his "son" steal his prey; after all, demons were the type to strike unexpectedly from behind—such opportunities he was happy to offer them. freёweɓnovel_com
The pair faced the lifeless trees, feigning an air of leisure, entirely ignoring their surroundings.
Suddenly,
Noises arose from behind them.
Lin Fan’s eyes lit up, swiftly retaliating with a palm strike, instantly suppressing several attacking demons.
Their bodies shattered, scattering pieces across the ground.
The loot was pitiful.
Only a solitary First Grade Earth Spirit Root was dropped.
His cultivation far surpassed these demons, so obtaining worthwhile items was challenging. Still, it wasn’t a problem; there were plenty of demons here, and this was just the beginning.
Lin Fan wandered the area, suppressing every demon he encountered.
Kunxu Palace members, along with some celestial powers, ventured deeper inward. Initially, formidable figures like the Myriad Saints Demon King and a few Great Demons had been sighted, but they vanished, leaving only the Deep Abyss behind.
"Everyone, this is the location where the severed arm appeared. The Myriad Saints Demon King and other demons must have entered the Abyss ahead," the Vice Sect Leader said gravely as he stared into the Abyss, sensing as though something within was watching them.
"The concentration of demonic energy here is extraordinary. It’s unlikely to be so simple," added a celestial master.
Soon after,
The Demon Path and Demon Clan powers attacked from all directions.
One Demon Path master inquired, "The Demon Clan was once of the same origin as demons. Do you know of any rumors about this place? Is it true that a powerful demon fell here, thus creating this Secret Realm?"
"Who are you calling ’akin to demons’? Are you trying to insult us Demon Clan?" The Demon Clan master shouted in rage, ready to lash out. They considered demons disgraceful; hearing such words, their fury nearly erupted outright.
"Everyone, calm yourselves. We are here regarding shared concerns. Understanding the situation will help us decide whether to explore the Abyss. What’s the point of quarreling?" A celestial master attempted to mediate.
The Demon Clan master responded, "Unknown. But the mist here approaching solidity suggests that the entity hidden in the Abyss is anything but ordinary. The demons seek to claim Kunyu Mountain—it’s surely not without reason. Why else would they bypass so many options only to select Kunyu Mountain within celestial territory?"
"I believe you all understand the implication."
Another Demon Path master said, "Why not go in and see for ourselves? Speculations here are a waste of time. The demons might already be inside the Abyss searching for what they want. Dallying further risks us coming away empty-handed."
He voiced what others feared: that time spent procrastinating might allow the demons to secure their prize within the Abyss—leaving nothing for anyone else.
However, the situation here was indeed peculiar.
No one believed the Demon Clan was entirely clueless.
Perhaps they knew more than they let on,
but chose to stay silent.
Shhh!
Shhh!
Several Demon Clan powers rushed into the Abyss, slicing through the dense mist, disappearing swiftly.
"Damn Demon Clan! They must know something but refuse to share," grumbled a Demon Path master, who nevertheless refused to lag behind, charging in as well.
The Vice Sect Leader instructed, "You all wait here outside. Withdraw from Kunyu Mountain immediately if trouble arises."
He was addressing the Kunxu Palace disciples.
"Understood," Hao Tianhua replied. As True Disciples, their cultivation was respectable enough to resist the mist; ordinary disciples, however, were less fortunate.
At this moment,
A Demon Clan disciple said, "Fellow cultivators, the seniors have already entered the Abyss to fight. Waiting outside feels pointless. There are plenty of demons roaming nearby. Why don’t we hold a competition to see who can kill the most demons?"
His proposal quickly found supporters.
"Saint Heir Gu Du has made an excellent suggestion! I happen to have a Demon Path Spiritual Artifact that requires demon flesh for its refinement. I can take this opportunity to forge it." Another Demon Path Demon Child remarked.
"Agreed."
Zhou Fei approached Cheng Lingsu again, saying, "Junior Sister Cheng, how about teaming up to hunt demons together?"
"Not interested," Cheng Lingsu curtly refused.
Hao Tianhua smiled and interjected, "Brother Zhou, my junior sister and I are staying here to await the Vice Sect Leader’s return. If you wish to hunt demons, then please go ahead—we shall remain here."
...
"Son, stop being so timid. With your strength, few can genuinely harm you. Be braver, will you?" Lin Fan said, watching the mad old man tremble in fear upon encountering another demon. He couldn’t help but feel helpless—did he need to be so frightful? Besides, it felt like an act, considering that whenever he fought, he was fiercer than anyone else, downright terrifying.
"Dad, I’m scared," the mad old man muttered, hiding behind Lin Fan and clutching at his clothing, his eyes darting nervously to scan the surroundings.
Sigh!
Lin Fan couldn’t say anything further.
Along the way, he had slain numerous demons, accumulating mana totaling four hundred years.
Four hundred years of Mana isn’t much?
Could people stop pretending?
That was already a significant amount.
Slaying at least a hundred demons yielded these four hundred years, a decent haul considering the effort.
Currently, his Mana totaled 38,568 years.
He was nearing 40,000 years Mana.
Suddenly,
A cold beam shot toward him from a distance, radiating formidable power. Lin Fan swiftly sidestepped, evading the attack. The beam struck the ground, forming a massive crater, with shattered rocks flying in all directions, embedding themselves into nearby trees and leaving deep holes.
"Who’s there?"
Lin Fan questioned coldly as he stared into the distance. Then, a mocking voice answered back.
"Apologies, I mistook you for a demon."
Not far away, a figure floated in mid-air—a tall man with long, lustrous, violet hair, exuding an eerie charm. His eyes seemed to flicker with dancing flames.
He spoke with a casual air, as if explaining something of little importance.
[Gu Du: Longevity Sixth Realm of Unity.]
[Items with potential to drop: Seventh Grade Wood Spirit Root, Eighth Grade Metal Spirit Root, Demon God Armor, Destruction Blade, ...]
[Note: Isn’t this guy wanted?]
Lin Fan regarded the man, then activated his Divine Skill, summoning the Hell Spear, which he hurled forward forcefully. The spear coursed through the air, shrouded in dark light and twinkling starlight, eclipsing the sky as its terrifying momentum engulfed the surroundings.
"What the—"
Gu Du remained composed until the Hell Spear was upon him. His complexion turned pale as cold sweat broke out—he looked as though faced with a ghost, his hairs standing on end, trembling with fear at the sight of a terrifying object.
The Hell Spear slammed into Gu Du’s chest, a brilliant light emanating as his Demon God Armor activated in defense. But with a loud crack, the armor shattered. The immense force carried Gu Du into the surrounding trees.
"You can’t kill me! I’m part of the Demon Clan..."
Spurt!
Gu Du spewed blood, his face instantly white. The Hell Spear hadn’t pierced through his body entirely but lingered inside him nonetheless.
"You..." He looked at Lin Fan in disbelief.
Lin Fan spoke indifferently, "Apologies, I mistook you for a demon."
He approached Gu Du, gripping the Hell Spear tightly before driving it all the way through his body. The Hell Origin Power surged into Gu Du, ravaging him from the inside.
With a palm strike, Lin Fan obliterated his Divine Soul, ensuring no escape or attempt at possession.
[Mana gained: 23,000 years.]
[Great Divine Power obtained: Innate One Qi Grand Seizing.]
Seeing that mana was among the spoils, Lin Fan was overjoyed. A strong start—slaying someone at the Unity Realm resulted in such a windfall, truly a stroke of luck!
What’s more, a Great Divine Power dropped.
His fortune was on fire.
He swiftly looted Gu Du’s belongings. Within the storage ring lay treasures, including numerous elixirs, alongside a high-grade Spiritual Artifact—the Destruction Blade included in the dropdown list.
The Demon God Armor, pierced by the Hell Spear, was already ruined—its value diminished. However, as crafting material, perhaps it could fetch a modest price.
"Strange. Weren’t they all supposed to be near the Abyss? Why was he here?" Lin Fan puzzled briefly before coming to a realization—it was likely the major powers had entered the Abyss, leaving juniors to survey the surroundings.
As for Gu Du, he’d likely been idling about, looking for trouble. Unfortunately for him, he ran into Lin Fan instead.
Thus sparing him the toil of cultivation, sending him directly to the heavens.
"Dad, he’s terrifying." The mad old man shivered after witnessing such brutal carnage.
Lin Fan comforted him softly,
reassuring his trembling son not to worry.
