Chapter 328: Demonic Abyss, Hunting Demons!

As the hardest dungeon in the World 14, the Demonic Abyss was devoid of any human presence.

What could be seen were the streams of dark energy floating in all directions, intertwined with multicolored lightning.

These streams of dark energy were none other than the overlords of the World 14: Demons.

On the way to the Demonic Abyss, Zhang Yue had already encountered quite a few of them.

The lightning surrounding these streams represented the demons' ranks.

According to their color—white, green, blue, purple, orange, red, and gold—they were categorized into Rank 1 through Rank 7 demons.

Within the Demonic Abyss, all demons were at least Rank 3, so the majority visible here were surrounded by blue and purple lightning.

At this moment, streams of dark energy were converging toward Zhang Yue.

Once they entered the effective attack range of 50 yards, they transformed into monstrous figures that radiated raw power.

These creatures had two horns growing out of their heads, glowing red eyes, and wielded axes in both hands. Their entire bodies exuded dark energy, interwoven with flickering lightning of various colors.

"A single Rank 3 Demon already has stats this strong?"

Zhang Yue glanced at the stats of the top-tier Rank 7 Demons and saw that they had 80,000 attack, 40,000 defense, 7 million HP, and even two SS-grade skills.

Additionally, all their advanced attributes were close to 100%.

It seemed like this challenge had indeed been ramped up considerably.

But for Zhang Yue, it also made things more interesting.

Before Zhang Yue could act, his three "sons" had already started.

The Phantom Predator darted forward with a burst of speed, leaping into the horde with a sharp "whoosh."

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

A flurry of swift strikes landed on the demons, each blow dealing massive critical hits of around 2 million damage.

Simultaneously, the massive 36-Winged Armageddon Black Dragon hovered in the air. It opened its gaping maw and unleashed a thunderous roar, spewing apocalyptic dragon flames with an AOE damage of 1.5 million that engulfed the surrounding demons.

Though these demons had strong advanced attributes, making them a tough fight for average players, they were no match for Zhang Yue's team.

A typical Level 70+ player might barely manage to counter the advanced attributes of low-tier demons. However, against Rank 5 or 6 demons, they would even be suppressed.

But Zhang Yue and his "sons" had advanced attributes like armor penetration, damage boost, and critical hit rates averaging between 200% to 300%.

Even when facing top-tier Rank 7 Demons with 100% resistances, they could still crush them effortlessly.

With all three "sons" unleashing their full power, a massive group of demons was quickly left crippled.

Zhang Yue cast spells to finish them off while converting 50% of his damage into Void Shields, protecting his three "sons."

Although the difficulty had increased, the team could still achieve seamless kills.

Low-tier Rank 3, 4, and 5 Demons were instantly slaughtered, while the damaged Rank 6 and 7 Demons were picked off by Zhang Yue with SS-grade single-target skills.

In just a short while, the ground was littered with the bodies of countless demons.

[Ding~ You have killed [Rank 3 Demon] x19, EXP +1.9 million, Alien Energy +285 million]

[Ding~ You have killed [Rank 4 Demon] x12, EXP +1.44 million, Alien Energy +216 million]

[Ding~ You have killed [Rank 5 Demon] x6...]

Amidst the corpses, countless silver coins and multicolored stones were scattered about.

These stones were magic cores.

Following the usual routine, the Skeleton King scavenged the loot while Zhang Yue, along with the Phantom Predator and the Black Dragon, continued hunting demons.

As Wu Haotian would say: "Other people kill monsters—they just kill monsters. But Zhang Yue? He sends the monsters straight to bankruptcy!"

For a monster-slaying machine like Zhang Yue, completing the World 14 tasks—"Kill 10,000 Demons" and "Kill 1,000 Demons of Rank 4 or higher"—was practically effortless.

In just one night, Zhang Yue killed over 3,000 demons, including 416 demons of Rank 4 or higher.

In total, he collected 2,625 Rank 3 magic cores, 290 Rank 4 magic cores, 78 Rank 5 magic cores, 40 Rank 6 magic cores, and 8 Rank 7 magic cores.

By 11 p.m., Zhang Yue returned to the Dawn Camp, carrying his magic cores.

He approached [Angel Mia], who was surrounded by a group of young men and women.

"I farmed two dozen magic cores today, and a few of them are even Rank 3! I'll be able to trade them for several Demon Slayer gear pieces!"

"You mean the weakest 9-star Demon Slayer set? That's useless. You need to trade for higher-level gear. With the magic cores you've got, you'd be lucky to get one 10-star piece, let alone 11-star!"

These were players who had worked hard all day to collect magic cores and were now here to claim their rewards.

Zhang Yue waited patiently for them to finish before stepping forward.

Angel Mia lived up to her name. She had a face as pure as an angel's, exuding a sophisticated elegance.

Seeing Zhang Yue, Mia greeted him with her standard line:

"Brave warrior, as long as you have enough magic cores, you can trade them with me for top-tier equipment!"

Zhang Yue opened his storage space and dumped out all 3,000+ magic cores at once, forming a small mountain in front of Mia.

The youths who had just redeemed their rewards glanced back and were instantly dumbfounded.

"Whoa! That many?"

"Is that half a month's worth of farming?"

"Wait… purple and orange ones—are those Rank 4 and 5 magic cores?"

"And golden ones! Rank 7 magic cores? Damn!"

"Who is this guy? How did he get so many high-tier magic cores by himself?"

Their shock deepened when someone recognized Zhang Yue.

"Wait a second… That back looks familiar..."

"Whoa! It's him—the number one player in the national server, Zero!"

"Zero? Oh, no wonder..."

Ignoring the commotion, Zhang Yue opened the trade interface and began exchanging his rewards.
