Chapter 907 - Shocking the Entire Plaza

Three months was only like a snap of the finger for martial artists.

The Sky Suspended Secret Realm’s gateway reopened, and figures began streaming out.

The Demonic Child Selection Battle had ended. All eyes were on the emerging candidates, wondering which ten had claimed the coveted spots.

“Look, it’s Gu Ling! As expected, she secured a spot. The Gu Clan is destined for greatness. Perhaps even a supreme demon venerable will emerge from their clan in the future!”

“That is... the Sky Suspended Demon Palace’s Cao Shi. In the past century, they’ve produced three peerless talents: Cao Shi, Li Qingchan, and Lu Feng. With Cao Shi taking a throne, Li Qingchan and Lu Feng also likely got one.”

“That’s right. Li Qingchan and Lu Feng just emerged, glowing with golden light—they’ve clearly secured their thrones.”

“Look, that’s the Grotto Heaven Demonic Island’s Ye Ge, another one of the top ten seeds. He’s also obtained a spot.”

“The Black Rock Demonic Island’s Yang Xuan and Fire Cloud Demonic Island’s Chi Tian have also obtained spots for themselves. My god, they’re all so strong, at the peak of the second-level Manifestation realm!”

“

Hmm

, who is he? He’s not one of the top ten seeds, but he obtained a spot surprisingly. Who from the top ten got pushed out?”

Countless great figures watched intently as candidates flew out of the gateway, glowing with golden light, their presence dazzling and majestic in the sky. They were incredibly dazzling, standing proudly in the sky and basking in supreme glory.

People were quietly speculating about the ten demonic child candidates.

The pre-selection rankings served as a guide—typically, eight or nine of the top ten seeds would secure spots. Judging by those who had emerged, this was indeed the case.

The first few people were all top ten seeds. Before the selection battle had begun, their names had already spread throughout the Ping Shan Demonic Island, and people were already paying attention to them.

Their arrival didn’t surprise the crowd. However, when an unknown figure claimed a spot, it caused a stir.

“Heavens, who is he again? He’s not Xu Yan, Zuoqiu Cheng, or Mu Tianfang either. He’s an unknown, yet he obtained a spot. His cultivation isn’t weak either; he is in the second-level Manifestation realm!”

“Where are Xu Yan, Zuoqiu Cheng, and Mu Tianfang? Did they die inside the secret realm?”

“Impossible! For the three of them to be ranked as the top ten seeds is already a clear indicator of their strength. Once they enter the Sky Suspended Secret Realm, they will immediately break through to the Manifestation realm. No one could have killed them!”

“Don’t forget that the secret realm is fraught with dangers and home to countless powerful demon beasts. They could have barged into the territory of certain powerful demon beasts.”

“Heavens, another person outside the top ten seeds has come out. Nine demonic child candidates have come out—only one more remains. Will it be Xu Yan or one of the other top ten seeds?”

Countless eyes were fixed on the incomparably dazzling figures, particularly the three who weren’t ranked among the top ten seeds. Their unexpected success caused waves of exclamations throughout the crowd.

All attention turned to the gateway of the secret realm, waiting for the final candidate to appear.

Demon King Xuan Ting and Xuan Shitong’s gazes were also staring fixedly at the secret realm’s gateway, as the one they were waiting for hadn’t emerged yet.

While they hoped Chen Fan would claim the last spot, they knew the odds were slim. While he wasn’t lacking in the talent department, they were well aware of the intensity of the Demonic Child Selection Battle.

The nine candidates so far all had at least second-level Manifestation realm cultivation. Gu Ling and Cao Shi, in particular, had reached the third level, nearly rivaling the Four Great Demon Lords of the north, south, east, and west.

Xuan Shitong was clenching her fists tightly, worry etched on her face.

The Demonic Child Selection Battle was a brutal battlefield that swallowed people without spitting any bones. Strength was all that mattered in this competition.

Chen Fan’s talent was exceptional, but his strength was far inferior compared to Gu Ling and the others—an undeniable truth.

The slightest carelessness could end one’s life in the secret realm. Chen Fan’s absence only deepened Xuan Shitong’s worry. Had something happened to him?

Just as the crowd was eagerly waiting, golden light finally appeared at the secret realm’s gateway. All eyes turned, knowing the final demonic child candidate had emerged.

Whoosh!

Chen Fan flew into the gateway, his vision spinning as the scenery shifted.

Majestic palaces, magnificent buildings, and powerful auras greeted him. He knew that he had come out from the secret realm.

“He’s out!”

“It’s not Xu Yan or the other missing top ten seeds. He is... Chen Fan! Yes, he is Chen Fan, the one who sat in the ten seats with ninth-level Heavenly Star realm cultivation during the Demonic Child Banquet!”

“That’s right, that is Chen Fan. Lord Demon Venerable spoke to him personally. I remember him clearly!”

“How is that possible? He actually obtained a spot among the demonic child candidates. This is too unbelievable!”

“I know, right? I admit that his talent is unmatched, but in the secret realm, strength matters more than talent. How did he secure the last spot?”

“This doesn’t make sense. The others are all in the second-level Manifestation realm at the very least. Only he is still in the half-step Manifestation realm—not even at the first level. Many stronger candidates have already been eliminated.”

“What could have happened in the secret realm? This iteration of the Demonic Child Selection Battle is full of surprises.”

“Yes, yes, Xu Yan, Mu Tianfang, and the other missing top ten seeds failed to obtain a spot among the demonic child candidates. From the looks of it, they won’t be coming out either.”

Chen Fan being the final demonic child candidate had left everyone speechless. Even Demon Venerable Ping Shan couldn’t hide his surprise.

He had an impression of Chen Fan.

He acknowledged Chen Fan’s talent, but he never expected him to be able to obtain a spot among the demonic child candidates. In his view, Chen Fan might have been a contender in the next iteration, but not now.

Demon King Xuan Ting and Xuan Shitong also saw Chen Fan enveloped in golden light. It was incomparably dazzling, and they were stunned at the sight. This shocked them too greatly.

For them, the best outcome they had hoped for was that Chen Fan might gain some opportunities, enhance his strength, and return safely. The demonic child candidacy was something they only thought of in their dreams.

But Chen Fan had turned that dream into reality—and at only the half-step Manifestation realm!
