Chapter 1740

"Ashen Demon God, come out and die!"

"Come out and die……"

"Come and die……"

"Die……"

"Die……"

The circular maze walls transmitted echoes, giving a deafening sensation.

However, no one came out to meet the challenge.

Not to mention the demon god, there weren't even any lesser demons!

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xiao Feng scratched his head.

He took a few quick steps into the demon palace, wondering if the other side was setting traps or schemes.

Anyway, he was skilled and bold; even if it were a pit, jumping in would let him climb out unharmed, so he wasn't worried about danger.

However, after he entered, what he saw was an empty palace.

"Whoa, what's the situation? Did they all run away?"

The expected traps never appeared; this is even emptier than an empty city stratagem!

Xiao Feng felt a surge of frustration; he never imagined that after fighting his way in with great effort, he'd end up with this result—it was utterly a waste of time!

... Although it hadn't been a long waste.

"No, we can't just let it go like this!"

After great effort to come here, smashing a wall for half a day, returning like this would be a huge loss.

The Myriad Heavens Battlefield is only this tiny; he didn't believe the Ashen Demon God could hide somewhere he couldn't find!

"Earthquake Technique!"

Xiao Feng raised his hand and unleashed a great earthquake, shaking this hall down.

He had merely been venting, but after the hall collapsed, damaging the foundation here, he inadvertently also destroyed the Ashen Maze City's flight-prohibiting formation.

Upon discovering he could fly again, Xiao Feng was delighted; he soared up, quickly patrolled the skies over the Ashen Maze City, intending to catch a lackey to ask about the Ashen Demon God's whereabouts.

He never expected... the entire city didn't leave a single minor monster behind!

This is truly absurd; a demon nation over a hundred kilometers in size supposedly just vanished, leaving nothing!

"I'm beat, these battlefield monsters are even more cowardly than players; they ran off the big ones, and now even the little ones learned to flee? Who taught them?" Xiao Feng was utterly speechless.

At the same time, it strengthened his resolve to find the Ashen Demon God!

The Ashen Demon God likely fled because he feared Xiao Feng's strength; the surface is human territory, so having fled, he must be heading toward the Abyss.

This place is not far from the Abyss; with no flight-prohibiting formation, he can fly straight out without needing to return to the city.

Xiao Feng rose into the air, using his limit wind-riding speed, and flew toward the Abyss World.

Although his current strength is heavily sealed, far weaker than when he was in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, it is still much faster than it was at this level in his previous life.

He traced a afterimage in the air; his speed was so great that even the spatial barriers seemed a little unstable, as if about to collapse.

Soon, he had crossed the continent's border and arrived above the Abyss.

The Abyss demon territory is quite vast, but the Ashen Demon God's active areas are limited; some places need not be searched.

The reason is simple: the Abyss World has many god‑level beings; the Purgatory Demon God and the Dark Demon God are mid‑god entities, each commanding several lower‑god demon gods.

These two forces stand on equal footing with the Ashen Demon God's force, so after fleeing back to the demon Abyss, he certainly wouldn't go to their territories.

The Blood Demon God's territory can also be basically ignored; although the Blood Demon God died over a decade ago, per Master La Luo Na Er, Mihel inherited his father god's power, controls the Blood City, and the former Blood Demon God's subordinates have all defected to her.

Although this force is overall weaker than the other two demon gods, compared to the newly risen Ashen Demon God it is certainly not to be underestimated, so this territory can also be ruled out.

After ruling out these three territories, the places the Ashen Demon God could go are few: near the demon ancestral land, the "Primordial Mountain Range," and a "Wasteland" bordering the continent's edge.

The Primordial Mountain Range is the demon race's birthplace; it's unlikely the other three forces would let him occupy it, so the possibility is also low.

The Wasteland is close to the Ashen Plains, yet far from other demon capitals; it happens to be far from the War City Teleportation Array, making it almost the hardest place for humans to reach.

His intuition told Xiao Feng that the Ashen Demon God was surely hiding here!

Whoosh~

The wind whistled; a tiny stretch of map was, to him, merely a small area.

Soon, Xiao Feng arrived at the edge of the Abyss World's wasteland.

He projected his will outward, forming a vast perception net that enveloped the ground.

Tens of millions of willpower points are unmatched even on the Myriad Heavens Battlefield; this attribute remains unsealed, granting an extraordinarily broad perception range.

Around him, no traces of powerful demons were found; only some level‑100ish minor monsters went about their daily lives, looking no different from human civilians.

Xiao Feng furrowed his brow.

Could he have guessed wrong?

No way…… Could it be that the Ashen Demon God gets along well with the other demon gods and can flee straight to their territories?

If that's the case, then he'll need to spend some time searching.

Of course, it's not too troublesome.

With his willpower search range, in a lower world like the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, at most an hour would suffice to thoroughly scour the Abyss.

"This Ashen Demon God is truly a freak…… Could he be a player in disguise?" he thought to himself.

Lost in thought, he had already shot off, beginning to search along the Abyss's border for traces of the Ashen Demon God.

He need not carefully sense every living being's aura; any aura below the demigod realm can be directly ignored.

Only those at demigod level or above require a bit of attention, to see if they are the target he seeks.

Even if they aren't, he can still dispatch them in passing, for demigods yield plenty of experience; under the current multi‑experience conditions, that's enough for him to gain ten or more levels at once.

All the way flying over the Abyss, the grayish mist drifted below, feeling as if I were flying within the clouds.

Along the way, the number of Abyss demons encountered was not small, but there wasn't a single one who had reached demigod level, and even those of Holy Domain were few and far between.

Only when Xiao Feng arrived at the core region of the Dark Devil God's territory did powerful beings begin to appear.

Upon arriving here, he no longer bothered with those Holy Domain–rank demon commanders, heading straight for the Dark Capital and appearing above the lair of the Dark Devil God.

Xiao Feng lowered his altitude, halted above the Dark Capital, and called out loudly: "Is the Dark Devil God at home? Come out and meet me; I have a question for you."

"Who goes there?"

A cold shout rang out from the royal capital.

Immediately afterward, more than a dozen figures leapt up—there were Holy Domain demon generals, demigod demon commanders, and even two lower‑god‑rank demon kings.

They surrounded Xiao Feng on all sides.

Leading them was a demon king wrapped entirely in a black robe, called the Nightmare Demon King, who seemed somewhat familiar.

This demon was also a veteran powerhouse of the Abyss World; after the Blood Devil God and White Bone Demon King, among others, were slain by Xiao Feng and He Er Na, the highest tier of power in the Abyss had dropped considerably, and his strength could rank among the top five.

However……

But the moment he saw Xiao Feng, he immediately lost his nerve.

He had originally thought it was some clueless fool coming to seek death, but it turned out the clueless one was himself!
