All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 463: Fall and Persistence
The ferocious Thousand-foot Demon Lord was turned into nothing by Wang Zhifan's demon-slaying skills that were like boiling a frog in warm water, and the surroundings of Wang Zhifan quickly returned to peace.

To put it simply, the guy who had previously cooperated with the Thousand-foot Demon Lord just ran away, disappeared into the void and never came out again, making Wang Zhifan lose his target for attack.

"What a pity! That little thing is too cunning and too fast. I failed to cut it several times. Perhaps only the time-stopping skill can kill it... I'd better go help others."

Wang Zhifan felt a little regretful at this moment. He relied on the concealment of his demon-slaying skills to successfully kill the Thousand-foot Demon Lord, but he had not been able to succeed against the Demon Lord who was good at speed and concealment. This made him regret giving up the opportunity to use time stop before.

But it is hard to say whether this kind of thing is good or bad.

The ideal situation is actually for him to kill two demon lords at the same time, so as to prevent his unique skills from leaking out, making the demon world more wary of him and become more targeted.

But he didn't have the right opportunity to kill both of them at the same time, and in the end he could only choose between leaking the demon slaying and stopping time.

In comparison, it is definitely more cost-effective to reveal the demon-slaying skill. After all, he will definitely use this skill frequently in the future, and it will be exposed one day.

Then Wang Zhifan stepped onto the wasteland and flew into the air, rushing to the surrounding areas to support the battles of other human masters.

Recently, their battles with the Demon Lords have often been fought in this manner of keeping a distance from each other and fighting separately. The reason is that both sides want to kill the other to gain credit, and if there are too many people fighting together, it is easy to cause accidental injuries and dilute everyone's credit.

But this situation is not absolute. Once one side gains the advantage or feels that the game is over, they will also gather together to seek help or emergency support. No one will fight an enemy to death.

When Wang Zhifan joined the battle with other human masters nearby, the originally balanced situation was immediately broken by him.

Some Demon Lords who think they are powerful and have just come to the Disaster Realm from the Demon Realm may try to fight with him. However, those Demon Lords who have seen him in previous battles react very quickly. As soon as they see him approaching, they roar and gather their companions to run away together, not giving him the chance to kill them one by one.

As a result, the previous fighting of each other soon turned into a chaotic chase. Seeing that they could not win, the Demon Lords did not want to fight anymore. With their skillful cooperation, Wang Zhifan and other human masters had to give up after chasing for a while, because if they continued to chase, there was a high probability that other Demon Lords would come to support them, leading to a reversal of the situation.

At this moment, in the wasteland, Wang Zhifan and other human cultivators looked at the figures of the Demon Lords flying farther and farther away, and they stopped one after another and began to discuss the next strategy.

"Let's use the old method. We will go to the next place far enough to continue the battle and prevent those guys from bringing people back to surround us."

As the leader, Wang Zhifan did not let everyone stay there for long. He quickly took out the Demon Sealing List and picked out a lucky demon army on the map, intending to rush there to bring them warmth.

But before everyone officially set off, a cultivator suddenly exclaimed, and the situation was quite similar to what Wang Zhifan had encountered before.

"Wu Zun, Emperor Tianhua and Desert Absolute Spear's names have turned gray! I remember they were all still alive before the battle just now!"

It turned out that this cultivator took advantage of his free time after the war to look at the Demon Sealing List rankings, and found that a master on the list suddenly died, and two of them died almost at the same time.

Among them, it goes without saying that Emperor Tianhua is now ranked sixth in the Demon Sealing Ranking. Although Da Mo Jue Qiang is not in the top ten, he has been in the top ten and often hovers around eleventh or twelfth place. He is also undoubtedly a top master.

Once such highly ranked monks die, especially when multiple of them die at the same time, it often means that something unusual has happened.

"Could it be that the ancient god that Wu Zun mentioned has arrived?"

The other cultivator was immediately surprised when he heard this. He reflexively recalled the great changes that took place at Jiyuan Mountain a month ago, when many top masters on the list had died.

"Don't panic! I remember that Xiaoyao Youlong and Emperor Tianhua were together today. Just ask them and you will know!"

Wang Zhifan remained calm, but was also shocked in his heart, because he knew very well how powerful these human masters were. It stood to reason that it would be difficult for them to die as long as they did not deliberately seek death. The sudden death of two of them might really be the reincarnation of an ancient god.

So he quickly shifted his gaze to the ranking of the Demon Sealing List, found the Confucian master Xiaoyao Youlong who was currently ranked fourth, and sent him a message.

However, it was not realistic to expect Xiaoyao Youlong to respond to the communication immediately. Perhaps the other party was currently fighting with the Demon Lord, so after sending the communication, Wang Zhifan immediately led the monks around him and set off, discussing while rushing to the next battlefield.

"I heard that His Excellency Emperor Tianhua has the good fortune of Tianhua Country, and he is very powerful and recovers quickly from injuries. Even if ten demon lords join forces, they may not be able to take him down. Could it be that Tianhua Country has been destroyed?"

"Senior Da Mo Jue Qiang is no ordinary person either! His Golden Sand Spear is unpredictable and superb. He once killed two demon lords alone without any injury. Ordinary demon lords are definitely not his opponents!"

"Your Excellency Wu Zun, if it is really the Ancient God that has descended, we must find the foreigner who summoned the Ancient God and destroy him!"

……

As they were discussing while speeding along the road, the cultivator who had previously discovered the fall of Emperor Tianhua spoke out in shock again, and told them even more terrifying news:

"Martial Master! Senior Xiaoyao Youlong's name has also turned gray!"

"what?!"

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but stop his Wind and Thunder Steps while thinking. He checked the Demon Sealing List ranking again and found that the fourth place Xiaoyao Youlong, which had been showing normal just now, had now turned into a lifeless gray, which meant that this top master had also fallen into the clutches of the evil hand.

"Xiaoyao Youlong died after Emperor Lord Tianhua and the other two, and there was a long period of isolation in between! That means they didn't encounter the Ancient God! It was the Demon Lord who killed them!"

Although he was shocked, Wang Zhifan remained calm. He knew that there was a high probability that Xiaoyao Youlong and Emperor Tianhua were fighting together today. Since they died at different times, it meant that they must not have encountered the ancient god.

Because the oppressive power of the Ancient God is not comparable to that of the Demon Lord, it is enough to wipe out Xiaoyao Youlong and the others in a very short time without giving them much time to struggle.

"That should be the case! But has the Demon Realm ever had such a powerful Demon Lord who could kill three top cultivators in a short period of time?"

"Perhaps there are many new troublemakers in the Demon Realm who want to surround and kill Emperor Tianhua and his men?" "Do you think Xiaoyao Youlong and his men are stupid? There are too many demon lords, so they will definitely choose to evacuate! It's impossible for them to fall into the trap so easily!"

"Maybe the demon world has created some powerful new formation? I heard from a cultivator who specializes in formations that the demon world's formations are unique and should not be underestimated!"

……

The sudden death of Xiaoyaoyoulong caused the discussion among the monks around Wang Zhifan to become more intense, and at the same time, an atmosphere of anger and depression filled the air.

Everyone felt heavy in their hearts, but they didn't know where to retaliate. After all, they didn't know who the culprit was, or where Xiaoyao Youlong and the others had died. Even if they wanted to provide support, they had nowhere to go.

Wang Zhifan also didn't have many ideas, but he remembered his responsibilities and quickly spoke up to suppress everyone's chaotic thoughts. He led everyone to continue attacking the demon army, temporarily forgetting the changes on the list.

They didn't encounter many unexpected things that day. After completing their daily combat tasks, everyone was teleported back home, and Wang Zhifan also returned to Tianyuan City.

The area around Tianyuan City can be said to be quite safe today. In addition to the presence of the old Taoist Zhenxuzi guarding the city, there is also the Moon-Mieting Dragon Blade who often comes to help clean up outside the city.

As Wang Zhifan's Taoist partner, Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade now behaves very low-key, and few masters in the realm of disaster know about her.

Except for occasionally going out to fight with Wang Zhifan, she basically did not go to places far away, in order to prevent the demon world from attacking her and threatening Wang Zhifan.

This was not her being self-indulgent, but something that as a close person of the top of the Demon Sealing List, she must pay attention to.

The Demon Realm has long regarded Wang Zhifan as a thorn in their side. If the human race in the Realm of Disaster were not united enough, it would be difficult for the Demon Realm, as an alien race, to collect intelligence. I'm afraid that a special Demon Lord would have been sent to deal with her long ago.

Fortunately, Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade is very rational and will not cause trouble for Wang Zhifan. She has been extremely low-key in the past two months and has almost no presence in the demon world.

On weekdays, she either helps out in her hometown, Mieyue Island, or goes to Tianyuan City, which is not far away.

With the warning on the Demon Sealing List map, safety is maximized and the possibility of accidents is extremely low, allowing Wang Zhifan to go out and kill with peace of mind.

On this day, Wang Zhifan returned to Tianyuan City. After spending some time with Mieyue Dragon Blade who was teleported to meet him, they discussed the current situation in the disaster area, especially the sudden deaths of masters such as Xiaoyao Youlong. It can be said that the negative impact of this incident is no less than the Jiyuan Mountain incident a month ago.

"Brother Fan, the current war is tense, it's not surprising that the demon world occasionally wins.

The clan leader told me today that the Suzaku clan's top expert recently made a special trip to the Ninth Heaven for a secret investigation and discovered that the Master has already suppressed the Demon Queen and that the Master has shown signs of becoming a saint.

Therefore, as long as we hold on, no matter how many twists and turns we go through, victory will belong to us. "

The information revealed by the words of the Moon-Destroying Dragon Blade is very crucial, which is the battle situation between the Master and the Demon Queen in the Ninth Heaven.

These can be said to be the two people who can most determine the situation in the disaster realm at the moment, but they have been fighting in the distant Ninth Heaven, and it is difficult for the people below to figure out the specific situation.

"The Taoist Wu Tian Wu Di recently used a secret technique to investigate the situation in the Ninth Heaven, and he came to the same conclusion. So this is the last difficult time before victory, and we must hold on."

Wang Zhifan agreed with the Dragon Girl's words of encouragement. It was impossible for them, the super-innate cultivators who had fought to the death with the Demon Lords in the Realm of Disaster, to ignore the battle situation on the Master's side for a long time. Someone had already found a way to investigate it.

This reflects the prominent characteristics of battles in the high-level extraordinary world. The real victory or defeat is determined by the combat power of the highest level, but below the highest level, there are many levels that are also constantly fighting hard.

It’s hard to describe what a complex feeling this is, as people at every level are fighting for their lives, but they also know that their ultimate fate will be determined by those above them.

For example, Wang Zhifan and other people with super innate combat power fought against the invading demon lords from the Demon Realm in the Disaster Realm for several months, and there were many casualties on both sides. They also had the help of the artifact Demon Sealing List. They seemed to be the protagonists of the battle and the deciders of victory or defeat, but in fact, there were several saints and demon lords who were fighting against them.

These invisible real ceiling combat forces are the ones who write the outcome of the war. The battles of these super-innate monks below cannot actually determine the outcome of the war.

However, as a player, Wang Zhifan knows one thing, that is, the copy of the extraordinary game will not put them in a complete dead end.

Since the goal of the copy is to repel the main force of the demon world, it means that this is possible to do. It also indirectly shows that the Master will eventually win the battle with the Demon Queen, and the confrontation between the three saints and the five demon kings in the world formation will still maintain a balance.

Otherwise, if the Master was defeated, no one in the Disaster Realm would be able to defeat the Saint-level Demon Queen, and there wouldn't even be a slight hope of victory. It would be even more impossible for the main force of the Demon Realm to withdraw from the Disaster Realm, for which they had already paid a huge price.

Therefore, Wang Zhifan is now very clear that this copy has signs of ending. Although the Demon Lord from the Demon Realm gives people an endless feeling, and the bloody battle between the two sides seems to be able to continue for a hundred years, as long as the Master can defeat the Demon Queen, the Demon Realm army will surely withdraw from the disaster area.

Otherwise, if the Master were to come personally to destroy the army of the Demon Realm, the Demon Lords would die as quickly as the Demon Generals and ordinary demons, which would be almost the same as giving them away for free. At that time, the Demon Realm would also not be able to achieve its goal of occupying the disaster zone.

"The only question is, how long will this take? Will it be a month, two months, or a year? No matter how long it takes, I will stick to it to the end!"

With an increasingly firm belief in his heart, Wang Zhifan soon passed on this spirit to the three players in the Wuzun Hall, allowing them to strengthen their confidence in clearing the dungeon.

These three people are not just sitting there doing nothing and enjoying themselves in Tianyuan City. They go out to fight with the monks from Tianyuan City almost every day. However, their opponents are mainly demon generals and ordinary demons, which are one level lower than Wang Zhifan.

Several months of fighting had already made these players numb. They had also been seriously injured and experienced life-and-death situations, but their desire to clear the dungeon kept them going, hoping that they could complete the dungeon earlier through their own efforts and obtain rewards.

Wang Zhifan himself had the same attitude. After communicating with the top masters who were still alive on the Demon Sealing List, he preliminarily determined the activity range of the culprit who caused the deaths of Xiaoyao Youlong, Emperor Tianhua and others. He decided to go and test it at an appropriate time tomorrow. As the number one on the Demon Sealing List, he would avenge the deceased monks.

After all, he is already the strongest human standing in the land of disaster. Too many of the top cultivators have fallen. If he doesn't step forward to solve the problem, there will be no one else.
