Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 863 - Agree

“Open!”

Overwhelming power surged forth from Demon Venerable Ping Shan. The terrifying aura of laws erupted and swept out, making everyone’s soul tremble under its majesty.

Rumble!

Heaven and earth shook violently as a dark golden door appeared, opening slowly like a miracle.

“It’s open, the Sky Suspended Secret Realm is open.”

The crowd was incomparably shaken at the sight.

Many of the prides of heaven competing in the Demonic Child Selection Battle stared at the door with fiery eyes, its ancient aura embedded in the sky. In contrast, Chen Fan remained calm.

As a disciple of the Peerless Peak, he had entered such microcosms and secret realms numerous times—like the Sky Dragon Divine Stronghold or the Little Demon Realm under the academy's control.

The Sky Suspended Secret Realm was obviously a microcosm under Demon Venerable Ping Shan’s control, perfectly suited for the selection battle.

“Go on in.” Demon Venerable Ping Shan’s voice resounded.

Immediately, the young geniuses kicked off the ground, their auras erupting, flying toward the entrance of the Sky Suspended Secret Realm like a swarm of locusts.

Chen Fan also stood up and stepped forth, rising into the sky.

Vicious killing intent flashed across Mu Tianfang’s eyes as he watched Chen Fan. He, too, flew out, planning to follow Chen Fan, hoping to avoid the trouble of hunting him down later.

The Sky Suspended Secret Realm loomed like a vortex, devouring the geniuses one by one.

“Does anyone else want to enter?”

Demon Venerable Ping Shan’s imposing gaze swept through the surroundings. Seeing no one step forward, he withdrew his immense power and closed the secret realm’s doors.

The instant Chen Fan entered the Sky Suspended Secret Realm, he found himself in a mountainous region, the roars of ferocious beasts echoing through the clouds.

Chla!

A sharp tearing sound broke the air as a black silhouette shot toward Chen Fan with lightning speed. Its razor-sharp claws struck him, sparks flying on impact.

This was no ordinary demon beast—it was a peak Heavenly Star realm devil beast. This demon beast was emitting overwhelming demonic qi, like the demonic cultivators on the Myriad Demon Islands.

A flash of astonishment crossed its eyes when its attack failed to kill Chen Fan in a single blow, revealing its considerable intelligence.

“Iya.” A screeching noise rang out. The demon beast’s huge body drew an arc in the air as it swooped down on Chen Fan once more. The terrifying sharp claws were wrapped in demonic qi, seemingly able to claw through an iron mountain.

“You’re courting death!”

A cold gleam flashed in Chen Fan’s eyes. To be underestimated by a mere beast upon entering the realm was an insult.

Sword qi whistled out from his palm, tearing through the air and slashing toward this demon beast.

Whoosh!

Hot blood spattered as the beast let out a mournful cry, its massive body cleaved in two.

Chen Fan wasn’t the only human in this area. The others had been planning on robbing him, thinking that his weak cultivation made him the perfect target. However, the scene before their eyes left them flabbergasted.

After killing the beast, he ignored the people with unkind intentions. As long as they didn’t provoke him, he let them be. If they did, he’d show them why the flowers bloomed red.

The Demonic Child Selection Battle was a brutal competition that lasted three months. In its final stages, ten thrones would emerge, and during this time, participants sought opportunities to grow stronger.

Many knew they lacked the qualifications to compete for the thrones, so they resorted to ambushing weaker opponents, stealing their fortunes—a common occurrence in such battles.

Chen Fan’s figure moved swiftly, unconcerned with finding Mu Tianfang. After all, Mu Tianfang was strong enough to compete for a throne to become a demonic child candidate. When the thrones appeared, he would naturally show himself.

For now, Chen Fan focused on increasing his strength. He needed to ensure he could contend with Mu Tianfang when the time came.

Just after entering the secret realm, Chen Fan sensed the ripples of heavenly tribulations in the air. Evidently, several participants had already shed their suppression and broken through to the Manifestation realm—many, not just a few.

The intensity of the Demonic Child Selection Battle was already clear.

Even peak Heavenly Star realm martial artists were mere fodder, and half-step Manifestation realm experts served as leaves to accentuate the genuine Manifestation realm experts—the only ones qualified to compete for the ten thrones.

Three days passed in a flash.

Chen Fan rushed out of a forest. Just as he was about to leave, a gentle voice called from behind, “Brother, please wait a second.”

He turned to see a young woman, around twenty, with skin fairer than snow and eyes like autumn pools, sparkling like stars. Her long, ivory silk dress and water-colored slim shirt highlighted her graceful figure. Light green silk adorned her cuffs and collar, and her embroidered green shoes completed her elegant appearance.

For a moment, Chen Fan almost mistook her for a Tianwu Continent cultivator, were it not for their location in the Myriad Demon Islands.

This woman walked through the air with slow steps. Chen Fan looked over calmly and discovered that this woman was actually extremely powerful, in the early-stage, half-step Manifestation realm.

“What’s the matter?” Chen Fan asked.

“Please forgive my boldness. I am Su Tong. I saw your display of extraordinary strength when you easily killed a peak Heavenly Star realm demon beast. I’d like to invite you to join our squad.” Su Tong smiled faintly, giving people a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze.

“You saw it?” Chen Fan looked at Su Tong, brilliant light flashing in his eyes.

His divine will was so strong that it was basically impossible for anyone in the vicinity to hide from his perception. Unexpectedly, he had failed to sense her, surprising him a little.

“Hoho, please don’t misunderstand. I only happened to be passing by,” explained Su Tong hurriedly.

She was indeed just passing by, but she was stunned to see Chen Fan slay a demon beast as effortlessly as chopping vegetables. Replicating Chen Fan’s effortless feat would be far from easy for her.

It was precisely this that revealed his extraordinariness to her, prompting her to extend an invitation.

“Brother, I’m sure you already know this. While our strength makes us experts in the outside world, it’s simply not enough to compete for a spot as a demonic child candidate. We don’t aim that high—we just hope to gain something from this battle. I saw that you were strong and that’s why I am wondering if you’re willing to work with us?” Su Tong said.

Chen Fan raised his eyebrow.

Operating in such a small squad had its pros and cons.

It provided safety in numbers but also carried the risk of betrayal. However, Chen Fan wasn’t concerned—even a first-level Manifestation realm expert couldn’t threaten him.

Moreover, it was somewhat difficult for him to search for opportunities in this vast secret realm alone. Partnering with a squad might offer valuable information and improve efficiency.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan nodded and said, “Alright then.”
