Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 851 - Wang Shuang

The threats from the numerous demon king-level figures around them terrified Ye Xi and the other Ye Clan members.

While their clan was prominent on the Ping Shan Demonic Island, they were insignificant compared to the powerful demon sects like the Chilling Mountain Demon Sect and the Thousand Blades Demon Sect—either of which could annihilate them with ease.

Revenge wasn’t even a consideration; they’d be lucky if Chen Fan didn’t seize this chance to target them further.

Thinking of this, Ye Xi simply wanted to slap Ye Zimo to death. Dragging his father into trouble was bad enough, but this was outrageous.

After expressing their regards again, the demon sect powerhouses left one by one. Meanwhile, Chen Fan stepped aside, waiting for Xuan Shitong to emerge.

The gazes of the surrounding crowd all fell on Chen Fan, sizing him up. Some were curious, some were shocked.

In just ten breaths, he had emerged from the Thousand Arts Demon Cave, drawing invitations from demon sect elites and securing a dark black imprint.

“This is too unbelievable. He cleared the cave in ten breaths—what monstrous talent!”

“I know, right? That result alone ranks in the top three.”

“No wonder he could send Ye Zimo flying with a single slap. He is just that strong and talented.”

“That’s right. It seems like we have all underestimated him. He’s destined to rise, and his name will soon shake the Myriad Demon Islands.”

“......”

Countless divine wills intertwined and collided in the air, talking among themselves.

Nearby, a youth’s curious gaze lingered on Chen Fan.

When he passed the Thousand Arts Demon Cave previously, he thought his speed was remarkable—until someone surpassed it so effortlessly.

The youth approached with a light step and said, “I am Wang Shuang.”

Chen Fan glanced at him and said with a smile, “Chen Fan.”

“To comprehend the demonic door’s art in just ten breaths, Brother Chen, you have an extraordinary perception,” Wang Shuang said with a smile. “May I ask, is it a natural talent or simply incredible comprehension?”

“Just luck,” Chen Fan replied casually.

Wang Shuang was in the half-step Manifestation realm but was rather polite. Thus, Chen Fan had no reason to keep his distance.

“You’re too modest, Brother Chen,” Wang Shuang said, refraining from prying further.

“There are demon caves in the other three directions. The more you pass, the greater your honor when entering the palace and claiming a seat. Have you challenged the others yet?” Wang Shuang asked.

The Four Demon Caves, set by the four great lords, now served to test and filter entrants for the palace seats.

The Ping Shan Demonic Island was bustling with people from all over. Besides the powerful demon sects native to the island, determining the rank and seating of outsiders depended on their performance—specifically, how many demon caves they passed and how quickly they completed the challenges.

They couldn’t afford to be sloppy with the Demonic Child Selection Battle.

“Is that so?” Chen Fan murmured softly, still unclear on the details.

“Brother Chen, you are from another demonic island, so you might not know. Even in the same demon cave, the tokens differ in rank. The highest is the dark black token, while the lowest is so dim it barely shines. Those with inferior tokens sit at the edges, far from the demon venerable. With your dark black token, you’re already eligible for the top hundred seats. If you clear more caves, you could even sit close to the demon venerable,” Wang Shuang explained.

Before the Demonic Child Selection Battle, a grand Demonic Child Banquet would be held. Seating was strictly based on strength and talent, making it a fierce competition.

“I can go give it a try, though a friend of mine is still inside,” Chen Fan said.

“I happen to be free right now and am also planning to go challenge the other demon caves. I’ll wait for you. We can go together,” Wang Shuang said with a smile.

Chen Fan nodded, accepting his proposition.

The crowd in the distance looked at them, their gazes flickering.

Wang Shuang was not a nobody. The Wang Clan was far stronger than the Ye Clan, yet he had taken the initiative to befriend Chen Fan, admiring his talent. The two standing together was a stunning sight, though the crowd wondered if they would conquer the other demon caves as quickly as they did for the Thousand Arts Demon Cave.

Time slowly passed. Xuan Shitong also came out, taking less than half an incense stick to complete the challenge—a remarkable achievement. The people were shocked. How were so many extraordinary figures appearing one after another?

After receiving her seat token, Xuan Shitong walked over to Chen Fan and said, “You’re fast. Hmm, where did that pretty boy go?”

“The Ye Clan’s people took him.”

“The Ye Clan came?”

Wang Shuang smiled and said, “They did. But Brother Chen conquered the Thousand Arts Demon Cave in ten breaths’ time and received invitations from many powerful demon sects. The Ye Clan was scared out of their wits and ran away in defeat. They wouldn’t dare find trouble with you guys.”

“Ten breaths’ time!” Xuan Shitong was shocked. She took a moment to recover, then asked, “You are?”

Wang Shuang introduced himself, “I am Wang Shuang. I just got to know Brother Chen and we’re heading to challenge the other demon caves together.”

Wang Shuang looked at Xuan Shitong, and he was also slightly stunned by her beauty. A trace of amazement flashed across his heart, but seeing Xuan Shitong hugging Chen Fan’s arm and looking intimate, he naturally understood the situation.

Indeed, beauties matched with heroes.

“Alright, let’s go together.”

Xuan Shitong suppressed the shock in her heart. She hadn’t expected Chen Fan to be so fast. She thought he wouldn’t be much quicker than her; now, she didn’t feel like making any more comments.

Soon, the trio came to the second demon cave.

“This is the Thousand Formations Demon Cave. The formations inside are extremely powerful. The rules aren’t any different from before,” Wang Shuang explained to Chen Fan.

“Mmm.” Chen Fan nodded lightly. Then, the three strode forth together, entering the huge demon cave.

Stepping into the demon cave, Chen Fan immediately felt isolated as if he was the only person there.

He found himself in a demon palace hall. On both sides were incomparably powerful demonic figures, wielding a demonic saber and a demonic ax, charging at him.

“Formation, huh...”

Chen Fan’s emotions did not fluctuate greatly.

He had read ten thousand books—no subject was unfamiliar to him.

Even the art of formations was something he understood deeply. In an instant, his divine will reached out, targeting the static positions.

Intense explosions rang out. His attack seemed to be without logic, not striking the demonic figures directly but instead hitting the empty spaces.

Moments later, the demons before him crumbled and disintegrated. Finally, the palace hall vanished, revealing a passage. Chen Fan strode forward and walked out.
