Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 921 - Nine Demon Palace Halls

The demonic cultivators above kept retreating, opening up a path. The statues exploded and shattered one after another, and the demonic cultivators were heavily injured.

By the time Chen Fan stopped, a large group had fallen behind.

Instead of looking back, he looked at the demonic cultivators before him. Still holding his spear, he advanced.

As he passed by a demonic cultivator, the latter stood still, watching him go. Step by step, Chen Fan moved through the crowd, unimpeded.

When Chen Fan walked past a demonic cultivator, they suddenly raised their hand and slashed down with their saber with extreme speed, like a black bolt of lightning.

Boom!

The demonic saber hit Chen Fan like it struck an indestructible divine weapon—unable to break his skin.

The hurried sneak attack couldn’t pierce Chen Fan’s level 25 Hegemonic Golden Body, which had grown god-like in defense.

Like a sharp sword, the Heaven Piercing Spear stabbed backward, penetrating the demonic cultivator. He let out a miserable scream and nearly died on the spot.

Chen Fan kept walking, ignoring the attack. No one else dared to strike; it was clear that unless the demon palace’s elites intervened, no one could stop this martial cultivator from the Tianwu Continent.

His ability to pass the Lord of Myriad Demons’ test revealed his earth-shaking talent.

The faces of the demonic cultivators below turned ashen, finally recognizing his combat strength.

Even though he was only in the first-level Manifestation realm, few in the low-level Manifestation realm could defeat him. They could only watch as he ascended higher.

Although fighting was not strictly forbidden on the demonic mountain, typically, only low-level cultivators would challenge those at the same level. Middle-level cultivators were prohibited from attacking lower-level ones climbing the mountain.

Chen Fan was already standing on the peak of the demonic mountain, with only a low-level Manifestation realm cultivation. Only those with cultivation below the fourth-level Manifestation realm could make a move against him.

However, given his combat strength, even fourth-level Manifestation realm experts might not be able to defeat him.

The only real threats could come from the demonic cultivators in the highest palace halls, who could push him to reveal his true power.

No one stood in his way. Although the road ahead was still far, it was clear he was nearing the summit.

Finally, he could sense the majestic aura and spirit coming from the demon palace halls at the top.

The path ahead widened, splitting in different directions, each leading to a separate palace hall.

From below, the palaces seemed lined up, but from here, they appeared distantly spaced apart.

Chen Fan looked at the nine demon palace halls one by one.

Retracting his gaze, he looked ahead to where nine youths with extraordinary bearings stood. They were all in the peak third-level Manifestation realm; however, their auras said that they were no weaker than any fourth-level Manifestation realm expert.

“Do you want to stop me too?” Chen Fan’s gaze swept across the nine different faces.

Their gazes toward him were different. There was a faint smile, coldness, disregard, contempt...

“At the top of the demonic mountain are Nine Great Demon Palace Halls. The Apostle Demon Palace Hall, Perennial Demon Palace Hall, Dragonrider Demon Palace Hall, Heavenly Demon Palace Hall, Adjudication Demon Palace Hall, Darkness Demon Palace Hall, Primordial Demon Palace Hall, Ten Cardinals Demon Palace Hall, and the Sacred Demon Palace Hall,” said a youth dressed in white. He had an extraordinary demeanor, and his eyes were like stars.

“You’re from the Tianwu Continent. You have ascended the demonic mountain, fought your way through the ancient path, and have come this far. Yet, not a single demon palace hall will accept a martial artist from the Tianwu Continent,” said the white-clothed youth calmly.

He spoke without any visible disdain for Chen Fan, speaking as if it were simply a fact.

“Is that right? I’d like to try anyway.” Chen Fan smiled lightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

He had expected this; since he had already come this far, it would be a shame not to at least try.

“As you wish,” said another person icily.

Even if Chen Fan ascended to the peak of the demonic mountain, he couldn’t enter the demon palace halls.

Let alone these nine demon palace halls that symbolized the demonic mountain, even the ordinary demon palace halls below wouldn’t accept him.

Chen Fan continued walking up, heading toward the Apostle Demon Palace Hall.

“Junior Chen Fan greets the seniors from the Apostle Demon Palace Hall.” Chen Fan bowed slightly toward the inside of the Apostle Demon Palace Hall.

Buzz.

A gust of wind blew. An elder appeared in front of Chen Fan, looking at him with a smile.

“Senior.”

Chen Fan was shocked. The elder was so fast that Chen Fan didn’t even notice him, making him suspect that the elder was likely a demon venerable-class cultivator.

“Why did you come here? The Apostle Demon Palace Hall doesn’t suit you. Move along, move along.” The elder waved his hand at Chen Fan, surprising the latter slightly.

“In that case, this junior shall take his leave.” Chen Fan turned around and left.

Walking out of the Apostle Demon Palace Hall, Chen Fan raised his eyebrow slightly. He had to face rejection at his very first stop.

Afterward, he went to the Perennial Demon Palace Hall, Dragonrider Demon Palace Hall, and the Ten Cardinals Demon Palace Hall. However, they all rejected him.

Some showed a lukewarm attitude toward him, and some spoke coldly.

Only the Heavenly Demon Palace Hall, Primordial Demon Palace Hall, Adjudication Demon Palace Hall, Darkness Demon Palace Hall, and Sacred Demon Palace Hall were left for Chen Fan.

He looked at the Darkness Demon Palace Hall. Suddenly, a black-robed youth with a dark, icy aura said, “You can forget about my hall. As for the Adjudication Demon Palace Hall, they judge the disputes of the demonic mountain and will never allow someone from the Tianwu Continent to join them.”

Chen Fan’s footsteps paused.

Judging by this black-robed man’s aura, Chen Fan could conclude that he was from the Darkness Demon Palace Hall. Since he said that he could forget about the Darkness Demon Palace Hall, Chen Fan would only be asking to get embarrassed if he went.

As for the Adjudication Demon Palace Hall, they judged all matters related to the Myriad Demon Islands and wielded great authority. So, there was no hope for him to enter that hall either.

All he had were the Heavenly Demon Palace Hall, Primordial Demon Palace Hall, and the Sacred Demon Palace Hall now.

Chen Fan crossed over many places and passed by the foot of a desolate and dilapidated demon palace hall. His footsteps came to a stop, and he looked up.

This palace, though particularly run-down, exuded an ancient and desolate air.

Despite its state, it stood quietly atop the demonic mountain. Looking around, Chen Fan noticed its peculiar location—this worn-down hall was situated exactly at the center of the summit.
