Chapter 919 - To Embarrass Oneself

Chen Fan followed the middle-aged demonic cultivator through the demonic doors, his gaze lifting to the towering demonic mountain, where countless grand demon palace halls loomed.

“The summit is said to have ten thousand demon palace halls,” said the middle-aged demonic cultivator to Chen Fan while pointing upward.

“You passed the test of the Lord of Myriad Demons, but that does not mean the other summit residents will acknowledge you—a Tianwu Continent martial artist. Gaining entry to any demon palace hall depends on your luck. Hopefully, it’s not too bad.”

Chen Fan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Passing the Lord of Myriad Demons’ test didn’t guarantee acceptance—or immunity from hostility—among the demonic cultivators on the mountain.

After leading Chen Fan into the demon sect, the middle-aged demonic cultivator strolled away, leaving Chen Fan to take in the vast, tiered expanse of the demonic mountain. Thousands of demon palaces stretched endlessly across its steps, a sight both awe-inspiring and overwhelming.

His gaze swept across the halls, recalling some rules of the Myriad Demon Islands.

The mountain was said to have thousands of demon palace halls, but not all had Legendary realm apex experts overseeing it.

At the Legendary realm, whether on the Tianwu Continent, the Myriad Demon Islands, or elsewhere, such figures stood at the pinnacle of the martial path—rare and revered across all lands.

If every demon palace hall had Legendary realm powerhouses taking charge, the Myriad Demon Islands would have been strong enough to sweep through the entire Tianwu Continent.

Chen Fan lifted his feet and strode forward.

The summit of the demonic mountain bristled with countless demon palace halls, so many that people swore it harbored ten thousand demonic forces.

Obviously, that was impossible.

As the holy land of the Myriad Demon Islands, only a few demon palaces could claim a place at the mountain’s peak for eternity. Most were modest, with some serving as little more than stepping stones to the highest palace hall.

There was a straight road that led to the highest demon palace hall. Chen Fan stepped onto it, flanked by rows of lifelike demonic statues radiating an imposing aura. He could almost feel the Demonic Dao Wills emanating from them, their presence vivid and oppressive.

As he made his way up, Demonic Dao Wills kept surging into his mind, as if they wanted to make him submit or halt his advance.

The way of the immortal clashed with the way of the demon. The power Chen Fan cultivated rejected the demonic Dao Wills.

Even so, Chen Fan’s footsteps were firm, not pausing in the slightest.

Driven by curiosity, he pressed onward, eager to uncover the truth of the demon palace halls at the summit.

Around him, powerful demonic wills spilled from the surrounding palaces, scanning him with sharp intent.

A demonic path youth walked out from one of the demon palace halls and looked at Chen Fan unkindly.

“You the martial artist from the Tianwu Continent?”

Chen Fan stopped and looked at him. The youth was weak, only at the first-level Manifestation realm. However, since he could enter a demon palace hall—even if it were an ordinary one—to cultivate, spoke volumes of his talent and potential.

“That’s right,” Chen Fan accepted, as there was no point in lying.

“You really are bold!” The demonic path youth said with an icy voice, "What are your motives for trespassing on the Demonic Mountain?"

More demonic cultivators emerged from the palace halls on either side, their eyes glinting with interest.

“A martial cultivator from the Tianwu Continent?”

“I want to see the highest demon palace hall,” Chen Fan replied calmly.

“Hahahaha, thinking of stealing our cultivation techniques? Hoping to uncover the secrets of our demonic mountain?” This youth’s gaze was icy. “If not for the rule against killing here, you’d already be dead. Leave now and never come back!”

Chen Fan looked at the youth and said indifferently, “I passed the Lord of Myriad Demons’ test to reach the summit. Do you think you own the demonic mountain? With your measly cultivation, you’re not qualified to block my path. Step aside.”

Chen Fan lifted his feet and continued walking up, ignoring the youth.

“You... insolence!” The youth was furious, feeling humiliated by Chen Fan’s words. His aura instantly boiled over, and he sent a palm strike at Chen Fan’s back.

However, Chen Fan simply ignored it.

“Is that guy stupid?”

“He’s too arrogant!”

The other demonic cultivators’ irises shrunk violently at the sight.

Boom!

This palm strike landed on Chen Fan but failed even to shake him.

“What?” The demonic cultivator youth’s irises shrunk violently.

He had used sixty percent of his strength to unleash that attack, yet he had failed even to shake Chen Fan—unbelievable.

Fury surged within the youth as Chen Fan had blatantly ignored his attack, a clear sign of contempt.

“Such arrogance!

“Go to hell!”

Rumble!

With a roar, the youth summoned a demonic spear wrapped in dark qi and lunged at Chen Fan.

Tap!

Suddenly, Chen Fan paused and turned around, looking indifferently at the youth leaping at him. He said calmly, “Why bother? Can’t you see the gap between us is like the sky and the sea? Why humiliate yourself?”

Before the youth could react, Chen Fan grabbed the spear mid-thrust, effortlessly halting its strike.

“Break!”

The demonic cultivator youth’s expression changed drastically. His gaze became even darker and colder, and he unleashed his cultivation completely to destroy Chen Fan’s palm.

However, a sharp light flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes.

With a cracking sound, Chen Fan crushed the demonic spear in his hand.

“Scram!” Chen Fan threw out a palm strike. The strike hit the demonic cultivator youth and sent him flying as he spewed blood furiously.

“Embarrassing yourself,” Chen Fan said indifferently, turning back and continuing his ascent.

“

Roar

!” The demonic cultivator youth let out a long roar. “If a Tianwu Continent martial cultivator reaches the top demon palace hall, it will be our shame—the Myriad Demon Islands’ shame!”

As the youth’s words faded, several experts appeared, blocking Chen Fan’s way. All were at the first or second level of the Manifestation realm—only those of such strength would dare intervene.

Earlier, Chen Fan had easily defeated that youth and shocked them; they were now cautious of his power.

“Since you’re from the Tianwu Continent, you should leave the demonic mountain,” said a demonic cultivator icily.

“The Lord of Myriad Demons has given me permission to come. Who are you to stop me?” Chen Fan said calmly, not pausing his steps.

“Do you know how many demon palace halls and demonic statues line the path to the top? Do you think you can go up?” said that demonic cultivator coldly.

As he spoke, more figures emerged from the higher levels, standing firmly to block Chen Fan’s progress.
