Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 925 - Entering Sacred Grounds

“He may be from the Tianwu Continent, but since he ascended the demonic mountain, he has the approval of the Lord of Myriad Demons. Do you think you are wiser than the Lord of Myriad Demons?”

The Adjudication Priest’s voice was indifferent, but it sent a tremor through the heart of the Dao Protector.

“The Darkness Demon Palace Hall is born from the will of the Lord of Myriad Demons and stands at the top of the demonic mountain. It must follow his will alone—discarding all else, even the identity of the Demonic Child of Darkness!” the Priest declared coldly.

The Demonic Child of Darkness and his Dao Protector’s faces changed, becoming somewhat ugly.

“How do you think this matter should be ruled?” asked the Dao Protector.

“The Demonic Child of Darkness abused his status to defy the will of the Lord of Myriad Demons. He is to be stripped of his qualifications to enter the Sacred Demon Palace Hall and forever barred from the sacred grounds. This Tianwu Continent martial cultivator resisted passively and is innocent of any wrongdoing.

“As for you, you attempted to kill him to shield your own after the Demonic Child’s defeat—this act of defiance against the Lord's will warrants punishment!” The Adjudication Priest’s icy pronouncement stunned the crowd.

Though the ruling seemed fair, it was daring to impose it on an expert from the Darkness Demon Palace Hall and the Demonic Child of Darkness.

If Chen Fan were a cultivator of the demonic mountain with a status comparable to the Demonic Child of Darkness, the decision might have seemed expected.

However, Chen Fan was an outsider, yet the Adjudication Priest made such a ruling, surprising the people.

Of course, the crowd could also understand it.

The Adjudication Demon Palace Hall was filled with stubborn people who regarded the will of the Lord of Myriad Demons as their life and purpose, which made such a ruling only reasonable.

The Demonic Child of Darkness and his Dao Protector’s expressions changed again, becoming especially cold.

The Darkness Demon Palace Hall’s status was on par with the Adjudication Demon Palace Hall. Similarly, the Adjudication Priest and the Demonic Child of Darkness shared equivalent statuses.

Yet, the Adjudication Priest had dared to make such a ruling.

“You really are very presumptuous!” the Demonic Child of Darkness hissed, his tone frigid.

The Adjudication Demon Palace Hall wielded the authority of arbitration. If the priest’s ruling came into effect, he would lose not only his qualification to enter the Sacred Demon Palace Hall but also his status as a Demonic Child—already shaken by his earlier defeat. After all, he was not the sole Demonic Child of Darkness in the Darkness Demon Palace Hall.

“As an Adjudication Priest, I should uphold the will of the Lord of Myriad Demons, unwavering in judgment.” The Adjudication Priest said icily, “If you have any objections regarding my ruling, you can go to the Adjudication Demon Palace Hall and consult the High Priest.”

The mention of the High Priest made many present exchange furtive glances.

The High Priest’s status was extraordinary. Only Adjudication Priests who had stepped into the demon venerable realm could be promoted to High Priest—a position of extraordinary power.

No one spoke up for the Demonic Child of Darkness. Everyone lowered their heads.

“Since that is the case, Adjudicators, take the Demonic Child of Darkness back to the Darkness Demon Palace Hall. As for the Dao Protector, carry out his punishments!” The Adjudication Priest’s cold, decisive tone sent a chill through the crowd.

“You dare?” roared the Demonic Child of Darkness furiously. The Dao Protector also erupted with terrifying demonic might.

“As demonic cultivators on this sacred mountain, you should know the consequences of going against our rulings.”

The Adjudication Priest waved his hand.

Immediately, the experts behind him stepped forward.

The Demonic Child of Darkness resisted, but how could he prevail against a peak Manifestation realm powerhouse? He was subdued in an instant.

His Dao Protector, enraged, retaliated fiercely, but three peak Manifestation realm experts from the Adjudication Demon Palace Hall responded without hesitation.

A scepter pierced the Dao Protector, eliciting a scream from him. His furious roar shook heaven and earth, stirring the crowd’s hearts.

The Adjudication Demon Palace Hall truly lived up to their reputation as the most iron-blooded and cold demon palace hall. In their eyes, there was only adjudication.

As the crowd watched this scene play out, their hearts were also extremely shaken.

The Demonic Child of Darkness stepped forward to block Chen Fan and even tried to kill him. However, Chen Fan nearly killed him. His Dao Protector intervened and tried to kill Chen Fan to salvage the Demonic Child of Darkness’ dignity.

However, the Adjudication Priest descended at the critical moment. Following the Lord of Myriad Demons’ will, the priest stripped the Demonic Child of Darkness of his qualification to enter the sacred grounds and punished his Dao Protector—all because of a martial cultivator from the Tianwu Continent.

Still, no one dared to say a word.

The crowd glanced at Chen Fan. They could not imagine that the Adjudication Demon Palace Hall would offend the Darkness Demon Palace Hall for the sake of a martial cultivator from the Tianwu Continent.

Chen Fan remained indifferent, as did the experts from the Adjudication Demon Palace Hall.

The Adjudication Demon Palace Hall, born of the Lord of Myriad Demons’ will, punished all who defied it—even the Demonic Child of Darkness.

Turning around, Chen Fan lifted his feet and walked toward the demonic mountain’s sacred grounds: the Sacred Demon Palace Hall.

This palace hall, established by the first-generation Lord of Myriad Demons, stood as the supreme sacred ground of the demonic mountain.

Legend had it that the founders of the other eight demon palace halls had once entered its gates, obtained its legacy, and gone on to create their own halls.

Since that was the case, Chen Fan decided to explore it himself.

Countless gazes stared at Chen Fan’s back.

This guy was really lucky to have an Adjudication Priest show up at the critical moment to pass judgment on the Demonic Child of Darkness and his Dao Protector, while Chen Fan himself remained unharmed.

Chen Fan arrived in front of the doors of the Sacred Demon Palace Hall. They appeared dilapidated, as though a single gust of wind could bring them down.

He took a deep breath, his gaze firm, and stepped inside.

The sight made the surrounding demonic cultivators’ expressions turn grim.

The Sacred Demon Palace Hall was the most revered site on the demonic mountain—a place of unmatched holiness in the hearts of billions of demonic cultivators. In their hearts, only the most legitimate demonic cultivators of the Myriad Demon Islands were qualified to set foot in it.

Yet now, an outsider was about to enter the Sacred Demon Palace Hall. To the demonic cultivators, it felt as though their holiest ground was about to be defiled.

However, Chen Fan stepping into the sacred grounds was perfectly legitimate.

Since he reached the peak of the demonic mountain, it meant that he bore the will of the Lord of Myriad Demons. If even the Lord of Myriad Demons did not reject Chen Fan, what qualifications did they have?

Still, revulsion churned in their hearts.

Moreover, Chen Fan had defeated the peak third-level Manifestation realm Demonic Child of Darkness with only first-level Manifestation realm cultivation, displaying earth-shaking talent. Who knew what Chen Fan would obtain in the Sacred Demon Palace Hall?

If he obtained nothing, they might accept it, but if he inherited its legacy...

None dared to finish that thought.

They wanted to step in and stop Chen Fan very much, but they had already seen what happened to the Demonic Child of Darkness.

Moreover, the lofty great figures had refrained from interfering, leaving them powerless. All they could do was watch as Chen Fan walked into the Sacred Demon Palace Hall.
