Chapter 743: Chapter 191: The Plan Changes as Monsters Emerge from the Secret Realm, Valiant Chu Fan Slays a Great Demon with an Iron Fist

That old monster was using the demonized creatures as natural filters. He let them bear the negative side effects of the transformation—the madness, the violence—while he absorbed the purified Pollution Power for his own use...

Their original plan was to ensure their own survival while eliminating a few members of the Zhang Family, wiping out the others from the Moon Worship Sect, and then capturing the remaining few. This would sabotage the Zhang Family’s conspiracy and stop them from succeeding.

But now...

Gazing at the Great Demon surging with dark Demonic Qi, Chu Fan felt a Cold Qi race up his spine, making his blood run cold.

At the foot of White Wolf Mountain alone, there were five of these terrifying, mutated Demon Fiends.

’In the vast Profound Origin Secret Realm, how many more such demonic creatures are hiding?’

’If the Secret Realm is full of high-level members of the Demon Race who have been polluted and demonized, why would the Zhang Family Ancestor need to go to such great lengths to plot against the people who entered?’

’Couldn’t he achieve his goal much faster and more directly just by hunting down the Demonized Great Demons en masse and devouring their Pollution Power and Demonic Power?’

’At that point, who in this Secret Realm could possibly be his match?’

Since the start of his journey, Chu Fan hadn’t encountered many Demon Beasts. The few he did see were merely Profound Demons, comparable to human cultivators in the Divine Power Realm or Acupoint Realm, and so weak he could eliminate them with a wave of his hand.

But the oppressive feeling from these behemoths was on a completely different level from any Profound Demon.

’They’ve probably reached the level of a mid-rank Great Demon!’

Fledgling Demon, Spirit Demon, Profound Demon, Great Demon...

These were the clearly defined tiers of the Demon Race.

Each tier was further divided into low, mid, and high ranks, with vast differences in strength between them.

Above Profound Demon was the Great Demon, a powerhouse in its own right.

The power of a mid-rank Great Demon was comparable to a peak Bright Heart Realm human cultivator!

A high-rank Great Demon’s power could even match a Ruyi Realm expert, allowing it to dominate an entire region!

The Demon Wolf clan of White Wolf Mountain had a long-standing, unwritten agreement with the humans who entered the Secret Realm. They rarely attacked to kill, at most extorting a "toll" before letting people pass.

But these Demonized Demon Wolves... they were a different story.

The Demon Wolves fighting Feng Luoyan and the other two were vicious, their every move ruthless and without mercy.

They looked as if they wanted to tear their opponents to shreds and grind their bones to dust—they were utterly savage!

Chu Fan’s heart went cold; he didn’t dare to be careless.

Holding his breath and focusing his mind, he stealthily activated the Spirit Array Map of the Demon Dragon Celestial Spirit Scripture.

His Divine Sense, already comparable to that of a Bright Heart Realm cultivator, became even more subtle and sharp under the enhancement of the Spirit Array Map. Like invisible tentacles, it cautiously reached forward, probing every detail of the battlefield.

The battle in the center of the field was raging, a fierce and inseparable struggle.

Wang Yanfeng, Feng Luoyan, and Zhang Tianyun were all prodigies at the peak of the Bright Heart Realm.

They were unleashing their full arsenal of techniques. Sword Qi crisscrossed the air, Magical Treasures flew about, and flashes of Spiritual Light illuminated their attacks, all aimed at the Demon Wolves...

Even so, facing the three frenzied and rampaging demonized white wolves, they were still struggling to cope, constantly pushed onto the defensive and facing one perilous situation after another.

But that wasn’t the most desperate part of the situation.

Within the range of Chu Fan’s Divine Sense, perched atop a massive blue stone just outside the battle, sat two even more formidable Demon Wolves!

The black mist surrounding the two Demon Wolves was so dense it looked like solid armor covering their entire bodies.

Their blood-red eyes stared coldly at the battlefield, and they remained completely motionless, like a pair of Demon Gods!

Their terrifying pressure was as deep as an abyss, as vast as the sea, and as heavy as a mountain.

It was like an invisible shackle, locking tightly onto the three cultivators in the field and making it difficult for them to even breathe.

Wang Yanfeng and the other two had sensed this long ago. They knew that the two Demon Wolves who had yet to make a move were the real nightmare, the greatest threat!

Therefore, even while being pushed to their limits by the three attacking Demon Wolves, none of them dared to go all out, always keeping some of their Bottom Cards in reserve.

They had to be on guard for a sudden assault from the two Demons waiting in the wings.

Chu Fan’s Divine Sense cautiously swept across the battlefield, briefly brushing past the two motionless Demon Wolves.

He instantly perceived their terrifying power.

’What a tyrannical aura! They’re definitely not ordinary Great Demons. They might have even reached the high-rank Great Demon level!’

Chu Fan’s heart pounded in his chest, and he was secretly horrified.

In the instant he was about to withdraw his Divine Sense to avoid being exposed—

On the blue stone, the blood-red eyes of one of the Demon Wolves, which had been as still as a statue, suddenly swiveled. It was as if they could pierce through all illusion and cut through the chaotic Spiritual Mechanism, staring straight at the thicket where Chu Fan was hiding!

’I’ve been discovered?!’

The deathly terror of being stalked by a prehistoric Fierce Beast exploded in Chu Fan’s mind, making the hair on his entire body stand on end!

The next moment—

"ROAR—!!"

A sky-shattering roar ripped through the air, its sound waves spreading out in all directions like a physical shockwave.

The mist-wreathed Demon Wolf stomped its right hind leg on the blue stone. With a thunderous CRACK, the hard stone shattered, sending a cloud of dust and fragments flying into the air.

Its massive body used the recoil to launch itself into the air, soaring toward the sky.

Black qi surged as a dark Residual Image streaked across the sky. Like a meteorite wreathed in black flame, it hurtled toward Chu Fan’s hiding place with world-destroying momentum!

"WHOOSH—"

Before the wind even had a chance to howl, the figure was already moving.

With a mere thought, Chu Fan’s feet seemed to shatter the void. His figure flickered as he instantly executed Shadow Step.

Before the Residual Image he left behind had even faded, his True Body had already crossed a distance of over a hundred feet. Like a phantom, he suddenly materialized behind the Demonized Demon Wolf that was relentlessly attacking Wang Yanfeng!

"..."

On the battlefield, the sounds of combat abruptly ceased. The atmosphere froze for an instant.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Chu Fan in unison.

Wang Yanfeng, Feng Luoyan, and Zhang Tianyun had already sensed the disturbance in the Spiritual Mechanism and were on alert.

But they had never expected the newcomer to be Chu Fan!

This was especially true for Feng Luoyan. Her beautiful eyes were wide with disbelief.

Not long ago, she had personally witnessed Chu Fan fly high into the sky, trigger an ancient restriction of the Secret Realm, and be swallowed by a sky full of blood-red lightning. It was a miserable end.

His body had been covered in spiderweb-like cracks, his aura completely gone. To anyone who saw it, he was most certainly dead!

But now, this guy had reappeared, alive and well. His aura was even stronger than before, making him seem utterly unfathomable!

Just as Chu Fan’s figure steadied, the void behind him began to tremble. A colossal shadow of a colorful, fierce tiger materialized, threw its head back, and let out a deafening roar.
