Chapter 928 - Undying Will

Chen Fan’s heart was filled with a strong will to fight.

In his mind, the battle god-like figures manifested, blocking the incoming sneak attacks continuously.

Chen Fan withstood several will attacks from the demon god silhouette riding a Demonic Dragon of Darkness.

After enduring will attacks from two powerhouses and traversing the palace hall, Chen Fan felt especially fatigued. He immediately closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged to cultivate.

He rested for quite some time, and his gains were plenty. After digesting what he had gained, his strength and cultivation rose significantly.

Lifting his feet, Chen Fan continued forward.

He walked very slowly and steadily.

Walking forward in the Sacred Demon Palace Hall, Chen Fan felt its profound challenge. Each incredibly difficult step was a test. A single misstep meant that all his previous efforts would go down the drain, so he couldn’t afford to be careless.

His will became increasingly stronger and more resilient. The test also made his Martial Soul stronger, and his comprehension of the laws deeper.

Every step in the hall was a risk, but also an opportunity.

Just as Chen Fan had expected, he finally arrived at another demonic pillar that had attributes that resembled another one of the eight great demon palace halls.

This time, the primordial demon’s will rushed into his mind. The wills of thousands of ancient demons invaded his mind, which his will simply could not withstand.

Chen Fan’s will was broken, but it did not collapse. He guarded his consciousness from annihilation with his strongest will, allowing the infinite demonic path wills to erode his mind.

He trembled constantly, on the brink of collapse, his steps faltering.

Yet his mind remained steadfast, defending his consciousness from destruction as the terrifying wills washed over him.

Under such tempering, his consciousness became stronger, and his will gathered once more, becoming stronger, and started to fight back.

Time and again, his will broke only to reform, each time becoming more resilient. From shattering at the first touch, his will grew to fiercely resist; in the end, it overcame the demonic path's influence.

After defeating the wills of the thousands of ancient demons, Chen Fan exhaled deeply, his body limp and his steps shaky as he collapsed to the floor.

“

Phew

...”

Lying on the floor, Chen Fan exhaled deeply, his complexion pale.

“Can I hold on if this goes on?” Chen Fan sighed.

One needed extreme comprehension and willpower to reach the core area.

Chen Fan knew that everything he was experiencing now was the test of the Sacred Demon Palace Hall. This sacred land was bound to have a core area. He might even get a glimpse of the power of the legacies of the eight great demon palace halls there.

Closing his eyes, Chen Fan rested once more, free of distractions.

This time, he rested longer before going on his way.

It was as if there was no end to the test. The further he advanced, the harder each step became—each as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

Yet Chen Fan pressed on, facing each challenge head-on, step by difficult step.

Finally, he vanished from the sight of those watching outside, as he ventured deeper into the demon palace hall.

“Damn it, he actually walked into the depths of the sacred grounds!”

“The deeper into the Sacred Demon Palace Hall, the more dangerous it is. This is only the beginning. No need to panic. He might not make it out alive.”

“Even so, I can’t take this. That is our sacred ground. How can we tolerate someone from the Tianwu Continent defiling it?”

“What’s the point of complaining? A ruling has been made, and those great figures at the top did not object to it. What else can we say about it?”

“I really don’t understand what they are thinking, to let an outsider enter our sacred grounds.”

“Perhaps they want to use this brat from the Tianwu Continent to motivate us. We’ve had it too easy these years, so much so that a brat in the first-level Manifestation realm could defeat our Demonic Child of Darkness.”

At the peak of the demonic mountain, in front of the Sacred Demon Palace Hall, people continued to arrive day after day, year after year.

This dilapidated demon palace hall was the sacred grounds of the demonic mountain, a sacred palace hall.

Many speculated about Chen Fan’s whereabouts inside the palace hall—wondering if he had died there. But no one could answer that unless they dared to enter and find out for themselves.

But would they?

Everything happening in the outside world had nothing to do with Chen Fan. Inside, he had no time to care about what was happening outside. He was already having enough trouble taking care of himself.

As he moved forward step by step, his speculations were confirmed. He soon felt the power of the demonic pillars from other demon palace halls. For the Darkness Demon Palace Hall, it was as though a demonic lord of darkness swallowed him whole, reducing him to nothing.

His will plunged into that void, on the brink of dissipating, but his resolve held firm. His incredibly strong will allowed him to resist the erosion of the strongest outside force.

His senior sister Qin Yao was still waiting for him in the Great Jin Imperial Court.

His father and mother were still waiting for him.

His friends and family, senior brothers and sisters, were all waiting for him.

How could he stop here?!

He did not give up. He walked forward, step by step.

Then, he experienced the demonic pillar test from all the other halls.

His will, tortured countless times, had become riddled with holes, weathered by endless trials as if it could shatter at any moment.

Yet within this fragile will, there was an undying conviction, a force that pushed him forward, unwavering. Not even the Lord of Myriad Demons' will could obliterate him.

No one could destroy his will!

His persistence made him forget about time.

Year after year, time flowed like water. Ten years had passed just like that!

In these ten years, Chen Fan’s persistence remained firm, not wavering even once.

In these ten years, his cultivation had soared, reaching the third-level Manifestation realm. His understanding of the laws had grown clearer.

In these ten years, he had gained complete mastery of his martial arts, understanding their profound mysteries.

And despite the many crises, his will remained unbroken.

Finally, Chen Fan walked to the end of the demon palace hall.

At the end of the dilapidated hall, a door seemed to materialize, leading to another space.

Chen Fan took a deep breath. Did he finally reach it?

That was the place he sought.

Even if only a few steps remained, Chen Fan walked very slowly and steadily, reaching the finish line step by step.

Pushing open the wooden door, on the verge of collapsing, Chen Fan lifted his foot and stepped inside. Next, he vanished into thin air.
