Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 695 - Little Demon Realm

“Junior Brother, you mustn’t get careless in the Little Demon Realm. Once you are inside, don’t try to fight the other rookies for a while. The realm has some opportunities, so search for them first to raise your level. After you reach the Heavenly Star realm, you can deal with them all,” Di Chen instructed.

He had also noticed the animosity in the gazes of the other rookies looking at Chen Fan. They were all in the Heavenly Star realm. If they joined forces, Chen Fan would be at a disadvantage.

Chen Fan’s only weakness was his low cultivation level. So, if he could fix that, he would become invincible and could sweep through them with one hand.

“This, I know.”

Chen Fan, as the target of their hate, was already planning on doing something similar.

While they were talking, the wind rose and the clouds surged suddenly on the horizon. It seemed like a light from space-time had struck the void.

Rumble!

A power, far stronger than that of a Manifestation realm expert, fiercely penetrated heaven and earth and struck the depths of space-time. It was like the universe was being recreated, reversing heaven and earth. The space exploded in succession, forming a huge vortex.

Countless streams of demonic qi rushed out at once from the depths of that vortex. Billions of ghosts and gods howled. The demonic qi dispersed into the air, about to condense into demonic spirits.

“The Little Demon Realm is open!”

“For the Demon Hunting Competition this time, our Heavenly Bastion Peak must achieve number one again and solidify our position as the first of the nine peaks!”

“What intense demonic qi. It’s almost like I can see billions of demons about to come charging out and wreak havoc.”

“......”

The crowd sensed the intense demonic qi radiating from the vortex and were all shocked.

They were reminded that the world was not solely inhabited by humans but also by countless other races.

Among them, the demon race stood as a particularly powerful and sinister force.

It was said that the demon race came from hell itself, often referred to as the Hell Demon Race.

This race was very cruel and loved invading other continental spaces.

Legends told of a time when the Tianwu Continent faced a brutal invasion from the demon race, but in the end, the demons were annihilated.

Chen Fan now knew of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Domains of the Upper Realm—a much more expansive world—that existed above the Tianwu Continent.

The Little Demon Realm within the Tianwu Continent was a byproduct of an ancient war between the Thirty-Three Heavenly Domains and the Hell Demon Realm.

The ancestors of the Tianwu Continent had used their immense powers to confine a fragment of a demon continent into the void, turning it into a battleground for training.

Suddenly, an epic voice echoed from the depths of space-time, majestic and godlike.

“Today marks the beginning of the Demon Hunting Competition. I hope that all you rookie disciples will kill many demons and showcase the might of our True Martial Academy.”

This declaration embodied the foundation of the True Martial Academy as one of the nine overlord-class forces of the Tianwu Continent—a power that inspired awe and fear in equal measure.

Whoosh!

Beams of rainbow light suddenly descended from the sky like torrential rain, transforming into countless tokens. Each rookie disciple participating in the Demon Hunting Competition received one.

This was a Score Token.

In the Little Demon Realm, killing a demon would award them with the corresponding points.

The Score Token could automatically determine how many points a demon was worth and would tally the rankings when the competition ended.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the ground trembled as a towering crystal monument, ten thousand feet tall, descended from the sky. Its massive presence was awe-inspiring, like a mountain piercing the clouds, radiating an aura of vast majesty.

This crystal monument could reflect the total score of the respective schools in real time, as well as the scores of the top ten thousand highest-scoring disciples.

What a grand scale! Chen Fan sighed in his heart.

The sheer scale of the event was beyond his wildest imagination, something akin to a miracle. Perhaps only Legendary realm peak experts could do something like this.

Once again, that epic, godlike voice echoed through the void.

“Now that all participants have received their Score Tokens, the passageway to the Little Demon Realm is open. You will have six months to explore and hunt demons. Afterward, the passageway will reopen."

Rumble!

Immediately, the countless disciples around the Demon Realm Platform flew out like wasps leaving their nest, rushing toward the passageway in groups.

The Little Demon Realm was filled with the demon race, with many Heavenly Star, Manifestation, and even Legendary realm demons.

Although the True Martial Academy’s experts had already sealed these powerful demons, there would always be those who managed to slip through the cracks.

Thankfully, Manifestation realm and Legendary realm demons wouldn’t appear, but the presence of Heavenly Star realm demons posed a serious threat, significantly increasing the competition’s difficulty.

Aside from these powerful demons, there were also countless Divine Nascent realm and Core Formation realm demons.

Ants could bite an elephant to death if there were as many as the stars. Even a Heavenly Star realm expert would have to flee miserably in the face of tens of thousands of Core Formation realm demons.

It was a grim reminder that without absolute strength, it was safer to stick with a group.

In this realm, death was final. The True Martial Academy wouldn’t intervene to save anyone; this competition was as much a test of survival as it was of skill, meant to filter out the weak.

“Junior Brother, be careful after entering the Little Demon Realm. No need to feel too pressured. Just do your best,” said Di Chen, patting Chen Fan’s shoulder.

“Mmm.” Chen Fan nodded.

“Go on.”

Chen Fan rose from the group, mixing into the crowd. He overturned a large swathe of the nearby crowd with his extreme speed, bringing about a wave of shrieks and curses.

“That damned Chen Fan, he’s like a hungry ghost rushing to reincarnate even when entering the Little Demon Realm. Damn it.”

“Haaa, it can’t be helped. He’s just that strong. If you have that kind of strength and are a Peerless Peak disciple, you can also act this arrogantly and overbearingly.”

“Hmph, so what if he’s from the Peerless Peak? With him alone, he’ll definitely come in last place!”

“So fast!”

“He’s too fast. I couldn’t even react before he vanished. What kind of speed is this? I can’t even grasp his aura. All I got was a mouthful of dust,” one disciple exclaimed, astonished.

“......”

Countless experts entering the passageway were visibly shaken, their fear rising as they caught a glimpse of the faint stream of light that was Chen Fan. Even those who held grudges against him began to feel uneasy.

“Hmph, the Little Demon Realm will be your grave!” The First Dragon Lord looked at Chen Fan as he rushed into the Little Demon Realm. An extremely icy killing intent flashed across his eyes as he increased his speed.

“The Little Demon Realm will be your burial place!” The First Fiend was also surging with killing intent.

“He’s fast, but I wonder how strong he is?” The others’ eyes flickered, sneering coldly in their hearts.

As the flood of disciples poured into the depths of the passageway, Chen Fan had already vanished, far ahead of the crowd. Moments later, he reappeared in a dark and foreboding world.

“So, this is the Little Demon Realm. What intense demonic qi. Primeval qi is suppressed here, and the dark sky and black earth are like hell.”

Dark currents of demonic qi swirled everywhere, adding to the oppressive atmosphere.

The entire realm was shrouded in darkness, devoid of sunlight. Gloom and cold pervaded the air, while the desolate landscape stretched out endlessly.

There was no day or night here—just an eternal, bleak twilight.
