Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 922 Demonic Child of Darkness

“Hmm?” The gazes of many demonic cultivators flickered. A chilling light flashed across their eyes. What is he trying to do?

Chen Fan lifted his feet and walked up.

“Insolence!” shouted the black-robed youth thunderously. He released a terrifying pressure, blocking Chen Fan’s path like a great demon.

Several demonic cultivators stood in Chen Fan’s way, looking at him coldly like he had crossed some unspoken line.

“Any martial cultivator from the Tianwu Continent who dares to walk down this path will be killed without mercy!” said the black-robed youth icily, overflowing with killing intent.

Chen Fan’s eyes flickered.

They weren’t this tense before. Why now, when he was heading toward that decrepit demon palace?

However, he quickly deduced that the first-generation Lord of Myriad Demons had likely established the Sacred Demon Palace Hall; it symbolized the glory of the Myriad Demon Islands.

Although eight more Lord of Myriad Demons had appeared since then, only the first-generation lord could truly be called the Lord of Myriad Demons in the eyes of the billions of demonic cultivators. After all, he had founded the Myriad Demon Islands and secured their place on the Endless Sea for countless generations.

Now, a mere brat from the Tianwu Continent dared approach this sacred hall—it was intolerable.

The more they tried to stop him, the stronger Chen Fan’s resolve grew.

For a hall founded by the first Lord of Myriad Demons, it stood at the very center yet appeared the most unassuming and dilapidated. What secrets could it possibly hold?

“I only reached the summit after passing the test given by the Lord of Myriad Demons. Being here means I am under the Lord’s brilliance. Wherever you can go, I too can go—anything less would disrespect the Lord of Myriad Demons.”

Chen Fan stepped forward.

“Try it,” the black-robed youth hissed, his chilling aura sweeping forward, refusing to yield.

“I’ve already earned the lord’s permission. Wherever I go, it’s with the lord’s approval. So, what’s the issue?” Chen Fan said coldly.

“The demonic mountain is the Myriad Demon Island!” The black-robed man did not give an inch, and continued, “The successor of the Lord of Myriad Demons should come from our demonic cultivators—someone from one of the demon palace halls—not an outsider from the Tianwu Continent. This is blasphemy toward the Lord of Myriad Demons.”

“Since you people believe in the Lord of Myriad Demons, why are you questioning his decision? Stepping onto the summit signifies his approval—whether they’re from the Tianwu Continent or not. Isn’t your resistance the real blasphemy?” Chen Fan countered calmly.

“The Lord of Myriad Demons embraces all—he transforms all living beings into demons without bias, even martial artists from the Tianwu Continent. Naturally, I wouldn’t dare desecrate his acceptance.

“However, as a demon palace hall that guards the Myriad Demon Islands, we must uphold our own wills. Our Darkness Demon Palace Hall firmly believes that only the purest demonic cultivators are qualified to inherit the mantle of the Lord of Myriad Demons,” said the black-robed youth with righteousness.

“Demonic Child of Darkness is right!” some demonic cultivators echoed in agreement.

Chen Fan now realized that the black-robed youth was the Darkness Demon Palace Hall’s Demonic Child—a figure who had inherited that hall’s legacy and bore hopes of becoming the future King of Darkness.

“If you believe only demons are qualified to inherit the lord’s mantle, why stop me from entering the Sacred Demon Palace Hall? Or could it be that, despite being a pure demon, you fear you’re no match for an outsider like me?” Chen Fan said calmly.

“Afraid?” The Demonic Child of Darkness laughed mockingly, sweeping a glance at Chen Fan indifferently. “I simply don’t want the sacred grounds of the Myriad Demon Islands to be sullied by filth.”

Around him, several figures turned their eyes toward Chen Fan.

They were all Demonic Children of a demon palace hall, with honorable statuses. Their will could even affect the will of the entire demonic mountain.

Demonic cultivators held a deep-seated disdain for martial cultivators from the Tianwu Continent—a sentiment that was entirely expected.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan happened to be from Tianwu Continent and had come to the sacred demonic mountain, intent on entering the Sacred Demon Palace Hall.

“I happen to have the opinion that the moment a martial artist from the Tianwu Continent steps into the Sacred Demon Palace Hall, the demon palace hall will become even more sacred,” Chen Fan said calmly, showing no intention of backing down.

Though their words appeared composed, the tension between Chen Fan and the Demonic Child of the Darkness Demon Palace Hall was palpable, each statement laden with the intent to clash.

Chen Fan stepped forward.

The Demonic Child of Darkness still stood there quietly, looking at Chen Fan.

He continued stepping forward, walking toward the Sacred Demon Palace Hall.

“Stop!” The Demonic Child of Darkness spat out a single word, his voice calm yet absolute.

Chen Fan shook his head and continued moving forward.

He admired the first-generation Lord of Myriad Demons very much. While he could overlook the other eight palace halls, there was no way he would forgo visiting the Sacred Demon Palace Hall.

“Demonic mountain rules state that those who climb to the summit are under the lord’s protection and cannot be killed. However, if someone dares challenge the dignity of the Darkness Demon Palace Hall, even killing them here would be justified—and I’m certain the Adjudication Demon Palace Hall would understand,” said the Demonic Child of Darkness, looking at Chen Fan.

“If I can’t step into the Sacred Demon Palace Hall, then what’s the harm in fighting!” Chen Fan responded, undeterred.

In an instant, darkness enveloped the space, centering around Chen Fan. The world turned pitch black—he could see nothing, not even the Demonic Child of Darkness or the surrounding experts.

Suddenly, a chilling dark light flashed like a bolt of lightning, shaking heaven and earth as it struck toward him.

That was a saber light, which was even more resplendent and dazzling in the darkness. It slashed at Chen Fan’s body.

Bang.

The saber light fell, but Chen Fan remained standing, radiating an oppressive aura. A divine golden light surged from him, pushing back the darkness and restoring light.

Rumble!

A terrifying noise rang out, and another terrifying sharp whistling sound rang out. Chen Fan felt the entire dark space stirring.

This time, attacks came from all directions, and the force behind them was even more berserk.

Boom, boom, boom...

Powerful attacks kept bombarding Chen Fan. The spear of darkness, sharp and powerful, relentlessly struck Chen Fan.

Even though the defense of his Hegemonic Golden Body was extremely tough, he was shaken, feeling uncomfortable.

Outside the darkness, the onlookers remained still, knowing the battle between the two had begun when they saw the dark light surge around the Demonic Child of Darkness, enveloping Chen Fan.
