Chapter 462 Strategy to Slay the Demon
The Fire Spirit Island meeting convened by the Demon-Subduing Old Man made satisfactory progress because Wang Zhifan confirmed the identity of the culprit of the great changes in Jiyuan Mountain in the memory of the jade slip. Everyone basically reached a consensus on how to deal with such means in the future.

It’s not that these participants simply believed Wang Zhifan’s statement, but the influence of Wang Zhifan’s current dazzling demon-slaying achievements and top status.

People who are familiar with him are willing to believe him, and people who are not familiar with him also tend to trust him subconsciously.

After all, Wang Zhifan is no longer an ordinary Taoist super-innate martial artist. He is the highest ranked living person on the entire Demon Sealing List. He can be roughly understood as the person who has made the greatest contribution to the current fight against the demon army in the Disaster Realm. His strength can also be said to be the most outstanding one. It is difficult for others to match his reputation.

As for the strategy Wang Zhifan proposed to other cultivators to deal with the indescribable ancient god, it was naturally to call on everyone to start by dealing with the players from other worlds, and did not recommend that they confront the ancient god head-on.

He clearly told these natives of the Disaster Realm that the Master had reminded them before the war that there were some outsiders accompanying the invasion of the Demon Realm army. Now it can be inferred that it was these outsiders who summoned the unspeakable ancient gods and caused the Jiyuan Mountain tragedy.

But summoning the ancient gods undoubtedly has a great price. It is impossible for outsiders to summon them at will anytime and anywhere. If that were the case, the Demon Realm would not have to bother fighting a war of attrition with them. It could just let outsiders summon out 10,000 projections of the ancient gods, and the disaster realm would be directly controlled.

Therefore, Wang Zhifan reminded all the cultivators present that they should not worry too much about encountering ancient gods when they go out to fight demons. That is almost groundless worry. He even suspected that the alien players in the demon world would not be able to use the same methods in a short period of time.

The specific suggestion he gave was to carry out a rigorous clean-up campaign against outsiders in all areas of the territory, leaving them with nowhere to hide, and to play a good game of cat and mouse with the vast number of innate masters in the realm of disaster.

Then, before a large-scale battle, the super-innate monks must also give priority to dealing with the presence of suspected outsiders near the battlefield. With the super-innate monks' powerful range perception ability, it would not be difficult to find these guys from other worlds.

The last one is to take shortcuts. The super-innate cultivators can make full use of the means of clones to go out and fight the enemy. It is best to fill the entire disaster realm with clones that confuse the enemy's vision, making it difficult for the enemy to confirm how many real bodies there are in a battle, making it difficult for the enemy to make up their minds to use ultimate means such as summoning ancient gods. Even if the ultimate means are used, the loss of the disaster realm will be relatively small.

In this way, the Huoling Island meeting quickly ended with the core strategy proposed by Wang Zhifan.

This meeting will not only affect the twenty-odd top super-innate cultivators present, but will also quickly radiate to the entire disaster realm, causing a significant impact on the entire battle situation.

After the meeting, everyone soon dispersed and said goodbye, or rather, many of the clones sent by people left Fire Spirit Island and began their own follow-up actions.

Wang Zhifan himself was also very satisfied with the information he obtained in this meeting. He had been wondering why top masters like Mo Tathagata, Taixi Rujian, and Jiyuan Bazhe were wiped out. Now that he knew that it was the players who summoned the indescribable ancient gods, everything became understandable and things became simpler.

After all, the most terrifying enemy is one that we know nothing about. Once you know what the enemy is, you will have a basis for advancing or retreating, and you will not be timid and at a loss as to where to start.

After the meeting, Wang Zhifan took back his clone and first destroyed some demon troops in the North Sea area. Then he relied on teleportation to return to the area around Tianyuan City and launched a fierce attack on the demon army there together with the Moon-Destroying Dragon Sword.

In fact, at the end of the meeting, Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di proposed to go with him to investigate Ji Yuan Mountain, but he thought about it and refused.

The reason is that Jiyuan Mountain is too far away, and one must use the teleportation of the Demon Sealing List to get there.

In this way, his two teleports for the day were used up, and he had to stay in the Jiyuan Mountain area for the whole day.

If anything goes wrong in Tianyuan City or the Moon-Mending Dragon Sword, he will turn into a clown and can only watch helplessly and furiously.

Therefore, Wang Zhifan is now very regular in his use of teleportation on the Demon Sealed List. The location of his first teleportation can be anywhere in the Disaster Realm, but he is very cautious with his second teleportation. He must ensure that it is in the area around Tianyuan City, so that he can rush back in time to deal with any incidents in the base camp.

It was not until another day came and the transmission authority was refreshed that Wang Zhifan rushed to Jiyuan Mountain alone to investigate.

Consistent with the information he obtained from other people's explorations, he found that almost all living creatures in the Jiyuan Mountain area had disappeared.

There was no trace of monks, civilians, animals or plants anymore, only some demons were building magic circles on the spot.

As a result, when the incident first occurred, the people in the disaster area were unable to understand what was happening there.

Wang Zhifan personally placed himself in the place, and first conducted a secret search using methods such as invisibility, confirming the basic situation here and finding the presence of suspected remnant aura of the ancient gods.

Afterwards, he contacted masters such as Wutanwudidaoren who were also nearby and launched a joint attack.

They followed the strategy customized at the Fire Spirit Island meeting, giving priority to finding the outsiders here to assassinate them to prevent them from trying to summon the ancient gods again.

Then they concentrated on destroying the magic circle that the demons were building. After the noise was too loud and they were exposed, they joined forces to kill even more unscrupulously, causing heavy losses to the demons who were left in this desolate land caused by the arrival of the ancient gods.

The demons did not expect that they were so bold as to launch revenge in this place where many human masters had just been buried. The demon world did not leave too many demon lords here, so it was difficult to resist the attacks of top masters such as Wang Zhifan.

The results of this battle were not outstanding, as only a few core demon forces were destroyed, but its significance was extraordinary.

Because it shows that the masters of the Disaster Realm are indeed fearless of the terrifying means recently displayed by the Demon Realm, and dare to go deep into the enemy's proud burial ground to kill and take bloody revenge.

This greatly boosted the morale of the masters in the Disaster Realm, and the previous bad situation in the war caused by the great changes in Jiyuan Mountain was quickly recovered, and the entire Disaster Realm entered into the rhythm of fierce fighting again.

This period of time lasted until a month later and had not yet ended. The battles between the monks from the Disaster Realm and the army from the Demon Realm became more and more frequent.

During this period, Wang Zhifan performed exceptionally well. Every day he would organize a group of masters to attack the strongest army in the demon world.

When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy stays, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue. The Demon Realm loses its core strength every day, but it has been unable to come up with any effective countermeasures. Even the ancient god from Jiyuan Mountain who descended before did not appear a second time.

I don't know whether the skill of the player who summoned the Ancient God is still on cooldown, or whether he has completely lost the ability to continue summoning the Ancient God, or whether he has been eliminated in the cleanup operation of the Outlanders.

Wang Zhifan has also made progress after this month's battles. His merit points on the Demon Sealing List have reached 10,000, making him the undisputed number one on the list, a full 1,000 points more than the second-placed Wu Tian Wu Di Dao Ren.

The former No. 1, whose name had long since turned gray, Mo Tathagata, had dropped to fifth place.

The merit points have stagnated for a whole month but are still ranked so high, which shows how powerful this Buddhist master, Mo Rulai, was.

On this day, Wang Zhifan was teaming up with several masters to fight against several demon lords somewhere in the disaster area, and the battle was extremely fierce.

After fighting for several months, they had already become familiar faces on both sides. Most of the demon lords in the demon world would immediately flee when they saw him and would not entangle with him at all. Only those demon lords who thought they were powerful and could create miracles were willing to fight him.

Therefore, the quality of Wang Zhifan’s opponents has greatly improved. The demon lords who are not very powerful simply do not have the courage to fight him.

But Wang Zhifan has improved in strength after fighting for so long. It is impossible to say that he is still at the same level as at the beginning after fighting for several months.

The most important thing was that he accidentally gained valuable insights into the way of the sword while swinging his sword to kill enemies countless times. As a result, his level of the Great Dream Sword Sutra broke through the bottleneck and reached Lv6 from Lv7 when he entered the dungeon.

Don't underestimate this mere change in level, the level of martial arts is different from the level of skills.

The improvement of skill levels is generally relatively even, but the improvement of the realm of martial arts is often very uneven. To put it bluntly, the further you go, the harder it becomes, but the greater the benefits of practicing.

As far as the Great Dream Sword Sutra is concerned, Lv6 is actually already a very high level.

The core skill "Life is Like a Dream" has been mastered at Lv6, and there will be no new fixed skills at Lv7.

This level relies more on the practitioner to integrate his own perceptions and expand the Great Dream Sword Sutra in his own direction, thereby developing special skills with his own imprint.

For example, Wang Zhifan has developed his own unique swordsmanship skills through fighting hard against enemies in the past few months: slaying demons.

This move is not as purely violent as "Floating Life Like a Dream". It has many variations and can be brutal or calm. It can be used against a group or a single person, and its power can be precisely controlled.

A seemingly ordinary slash has extra lethality to demons and other beings. In principle, it is closely related to Floating Life is Like a Dream. When using this move, it will destroy the true existence of the demon and transform part of it into a dream of nothingness, thus causing high damage.

It can be thought of as a specialized version of Floating Life Like a Dream, which integrates the ultimate move into ordinary slashing. There are no special stunts, and it is difficult for the enemy to predict and react. The energy consumption is also greatly reduced, making it more suitable for long-term continuous combat.

For example, now, a two-headed demon lord who is a thousand feet tall is fighting with Wang Zhifan in the wilderness. Near it, there is another demon lord who is very small, extremely fast and good at hiding, who is patrolling for it and will attack Wang Zhifan from behind if he gets a chance.

The combination of these two Demon Lords has become quite famous in the Disaster Realm recently, because at least three super-innate monks have lost their lives due to their cooperation, and they died suddenly without even having the chance to use teleportation.

Wang Zhifan did not originally come out to fight alone, he brought some experts with him, but he finally chose to deal with these two powerful enemies alone, allowing others to focus on the battle elsewhere.

boom! ! !
The Demon Lord, whose two heads were a thousand feet tall and touching the clouds, suddenly punched down at a speed that was inconsistent with his size. In an instant, it was like a mountain falling down, directly covering the sky above Wang Zhifan's head.

Moreover, the attack of the Demon Lord is not only powerful as it seems. People with sufficient perception can immediately judge that this attack carries a special power. Even the space itself will be shattered by it.

Wang Zhifan had many options when facing this move, but if he resisted it, even he would feel very uncomfortable, so he chose to teleport to avoid it.

In an instant, Wang Zhifan appeared behind the thousand-foot-tall Demon Lord.

The reason why he did not appear in a more suitable location was because the distance of a single teleportation was not enough and the Demon Lord was too big.

He slashed with his sword, hitting the Demon Lord's extremely solid gray-black scales. The absolute defense-breaking property of the Blade of Time caused the scales to be cut, and the light blade sank into them for a full foot.

But this demon lord was too huge, and such an attack only broke some of its dead skin and did no effective damage at all.

There was no time for Wang Zhifan to make a second strike. A shadow as small as a mosquito suddenly appeared from behind Wang Zhifan and rushed towards the back of his neck at an incredibly terrifying speed.

If it were an ordinary super-innate cultivator, there would be a great chance that he would be hit by such a surprise attack. After all, the enemy behind him appeared too quickly and too suddenly, and it was difficult for them at their level to react.

But Wang Zhifan is different from others. He has a multi-layer defense system around his body.

First, the epic biological force field slowed down the attack speed of the tiny demon lord, then the protective golden light brought by the Wuji Golden Body Technique further intercepted it, and then came the hard defense of equipment such as the Invisible Weird Clothes and the Demon King's Battle Armor.

Therefore, this extremely fast Demon Lord failed to succeed in the surprise attack. Just as it rushed to Wang Zhifan with all its strength, Wang Zhifan turned around and slashed at it with a precise blade of light, forcing it to retreat and dodge into the void.

At this time, Wang Zhifan could actually try to use the time-stopping ability of the Time Blade. As long as this demon lord is not immune to the power of the time law of the Time Blade, he will definitely die.

But Wang Zhifan didn't intend to do so.

One reason is that he rarely uses this method, and basically only uses it as an emergency measure.

Another reason is that he has not revealed his ability to stop time until now.

Each time it is used, it is to ensure that there are no friendly forces around and all enemies are dead, to prevent the surviving enemies from deducing this information.

Under the current circumstances, he had no way to quickly eliminate the two demon lords, so he decided to continue dealing with them.

He turned around and slashed back the demon lord who was about to launch a sneak attack at any time, then quickly turned around and added another knife mark on the back of the huge demon lord.

Then, he got out of position before the two big heads of the giant Demon Lord turned behind him and focused his gaze on him to launch an attack with his magic eyes. He continued to guard against sneak attacks from the tiny Demon Lord while scraping the skin unremittingly.

After this continued for a while, the situation between the two sides still seemed to be at a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

But Wang Zhifan suddenly said in his heart: "Kill the demon!"

The slashing blow he had previously left on the Thousand-foot Demon Lord suddenly exploded, and its huge and solid body suddenly almost disappeared, as if bubbles were bursting.
