Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 116: Chapter 116: Those Who Harm My Friends and Family Shall Be Killed Without Mercy

Lei Ming had truly taken a liking to Su Han. He not only imparted the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes but also expended his own spiritual power to condense a Memory Seed for him.

This seed contained Lei Ming’s own memories of the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, including his cultivation methods and the problems and difficulties he had faced. It would allow Su Han to experience the process firsthand, bypassing the need for trial and error and enabling him to advance more quickly.

”With this Memory Seed, you should be able to master the first three styles within three months. While they are the weakest of the seven, their power is still comparable to an Earth Rank Martial Technique.”

Lei Ming personally explained the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes to Su Han. He recalled how it had taken him an entire month to learn the first style. Considering Su Han’s superior innate talent, twenty days should be about right for him, shouldn’t it?

Three days later, however, Su Han stood with the Black Blade in hand. Thunder Light intertwined around the blade, and a terrifying, destructive aura twisted the very air around him.

Above, dark clouds gathered across the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared as if a great storm was about to break. The oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

”Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power!”

Grasping the Black Blade, Su Han drew upon the thunder of heaven and earth. He raised the weapon high above his head and then brought it crashing down.

All the Thunder Light in the sky seemed to condense onto the Black Blade, making it as heavy as a mountain and imbuing it with an indescribably terrifying pressure. As the blade descended, the air roiled violently, and grass and trees in its path were obliterated, as if nothing could withstand the power of this single slash.

BOOM!

The blade struck the earth, causing the ground to tremble violently. A massive crack instantly appeared, extending for a full hundred meters before stopping. The resulting fissure, as thick as an arm and a hundred meters long, was a shocking sight. Had the attack struck a person, it would have surely split them in two.

Standing to the side, Lei Ming watched Su Han, momentarily stunned. His face was a mask of disbelief. Three days! It took him only three days to master the first style! A talent this extraordinary is simply outrageous! Moreover, the aura and power of that slash were far stronger than mine when I first mastered it.

”Ahem. Though it took you three days to master, that’s still not slow. Keep up the good work. I’m going back to rest now,” Lei Ming said, his expression slightly unnatural as he turned to leave.

Su Han’s monstrous talent was too demoralizing. Lei Ming needed to go back and compose himself.

After Lei Ming left, Su Han continued to practice the first style. The first style of the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes was named ”Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power,” and it was characterized not by speed, but by pure power. Where the thunderbolt strikes, nothing remains unbroken; where overwhelming force presses, nothing escapes obliteration.

Previously, Su Han’s specialty had been the lightning-fast Draw Sword Slash. In contrast, the Heaven and Earth Slash focused on absolute eradication—of heaven, earth, and self. The Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, however, were renowned for their sheer, destructive power.

Having inherited the memories of three great deity-demons, Su Han had a lofty vantage point. His cultivation of the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes naturally progressed faster than an ordinary person’s. After practicing for a while longer and ensuring he had a firm grasp on the first style, Su Han finally stopped to rest.

My cultivation over the past few days has allowed me to eliminate impurities and solidify my realm. It’s time to devour the Nebula Emperor Physique!

Su Han returned to his room, set up a defensive Spiritual Formation, and took Qian Yuan’s corpse out of his Storage Ring. Without hesitation, he activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art and began the absorption.

A day and a night later, the absorption was complete. Su Han’s aura surged, giving him the air of one about to break through the clouds and ascend directly into the Nine Heavens.

I’m at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm now!

Qian Yuan had been a powerhouse at the Third Layer of the Phenomenon Realm and possessed the Nebula Emperor Physique. As a result, his physical body contained an extremely dense energy, which had allowed Su Han to break through two realms at once. At this moment, the Spiritual Energy in Su Han’s body surged like a mighty river, a clear sign of instability from his recent breakthrough. He just needed to spend some time eliminating impurities and condensing his Spiritual Energy to return to normal.

Furthermore, within Su Han’s sea of consciousness, his Divine Sense now shone like stars, forming a nebula that rotated slowly. This change occurred after he devoured the Nebula Emperor Physique, which imbued his Divine Sense with stellar power. Now, Su Han’s Divine Sense could extend a full kilometer, double its previous range.

Golden Qi-Blood, the Great Luo Golden Bone, and a stellar Divine Sense—Su Han’s Sacred Body had long since transcended the mortal plane, far surpassing any ordinary Special Physique.

However, the Phenomenon gained from devouring the Nebula Emperor Physique was itself swallowed by his Black Hole Phenomenon. This caused the Black Hole Phenomenon to grow from the size of a millstone to three meters in diameter. It appeared even more pitch-black and profound, like a dark eye that no one dared to gaze into directly.

In addition to the Phenomenon, Su Han also acquired the Origin Technique of the Nebula Emperor Physique: the Star Shifting Technique. This was a counter-attack technique that could redirect an opponent’s force against them, not only reducing the damage he received but also inflicting greater harm on his enemy.

Previously, Qian Yuan had relied too much on his Supreme Arm and had underestimated Su Han. He was defeated by Su Han’s sudden, violent onslaught before he even had a chance to use this technique. Now that this Origin Technique was in Su Han’s hands, perhaps it could unleash even greater power.

His realm enhanced, his Phenomenon strengthened, and a new Origin Technique acquired—devouring the Nebula Emperor Physique had significantly boosted Su Han’s overall strength.

Beyond that, within the Prison Divine Palace, the deity-demon corresponding to the Nebula Emperor Physique also began to awaken. This was a deity-demon with a Heavenly Eye on its forehead, its body emitting a silvery Divine Radiance. It was neither human nor beast but seemed to be a creature of some special race.

It should fully awaken in about ten days.

As Su Han’s strength increased, so did his control over the Prison Divine Palace. Sensing the awakening aura of the three-eyed deity-demon, he made his judgment. In ten days, another life-or-death duel awaited him. Although Su Han had already defeated and absorbed three deity-demons, he didn’t dare let his guard down in the slightest.

After all, these were true deity-demons possessing terrifying combat experience, their own Special Physiques, and numerous dreadful abilities. Each one mastered different skills, making them completely unpredictable. Su Han had to be on high alert every time, because if he lost, he would truly die.

In the next few days, I’ll master the Second Style of the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, then solidify my realm and temper my Spiritual Energy.

Su Han formulated a plan, preparing for the great battle in ten days’ time.

Exiting the Prison Divine Palace, Su Han grasped his Black Blade, ready to continue his training. Yaoguang Peak was desolate and silent, devoid of birds or beasts, with even the vegetation being sparse. Su Han, already accustomed to this, paid it no mind as he prepared to cultivate.

At that very moment, however, a streak of light shot up from the foot of the mountain. It flew as fast as an arrow loosed from a bow, heading straight for Su Han.

Su Han narrowed his eyes and reached out, catching the streak of light. It was not a sneak attack with a hidden weapon, but a Communication Talisman.

The message flared to life: ”I have Ning Feifan. If you want him to live, come to Gourd Valley. You must come alone. Bring anyone else, and he dies.”

Ning Feifan has been kidnapped? This is a trap for me! It was an obvious plot, something Su Han understood instantly. Still, he couldn’t ignore it.

Intense killing intent flashed in his eyes. Anyone who harms my loved ones will be killed without mercy! He put away his Black Blade and soared into the sky.

What did it matter if it was a trap? He would slaughter his way through regardless
