Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Unrivaled

The white-haired elder and his four companions were all very strong. Since they cultivated the Five Elements Cultivation Technique, their collective strength increased multifold when they joined forces, making them tantamount to seven or eight Phenomenon Realm powerhouses. However, when the five of them ganged up on Su Han, they unexpectedly found themselves at a disadvantage. As soon as the battle commenced, the tall and thin man was severely injured, and the other four also suffered injuries of varying degrees.

In terms of realm, Su Han was only at the Third Layer of the Phenomenon Realm and was indeed no match for them individually. But his Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi was not only bitterly cold but also incredibly tyrannical, far stronger than ordinary Spiritual Energy. Beyond that, Su Han had also mastered the Character Technique of Motion, the Character Technique of Combat, and the Secret of the Soldier Character. Possessing any one of these secret techniques would allow a cultivator to look down upon their peers, let alone having mastered all three. Moreover, Su Han possessed the Demonic Nature-infused Black Blade and Dao Artifacts like the Golden Light Fiery Mirror. This, combined with his numerous Origin Techniques and the power of his Sacred Body, made it natural for him to have the upper hand when facing the white-haired elder and his four men, who lacked even a single Dao Artifact.

He’s too monstrous! He’s this difficult to deal with at just the Third Layer of the Phenomenon Realm. If we were at the same realm, wouldn’t we be completely powerless against him? the white-haired elder thought, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Although the Tiayun Dynasty was a small nation, the five of them were royal elites painstakingly cultivated by King Tian Yunshan himself—the future guardians of the dynasty. Yet now, even with all five joining forces, they couldn’t subdue a junior at the Third Layer of the Phenomenon Realm. If this news were to spread, not only would they lose face, but the Tiayun Dynasty’s reputation would be utterly tarnished.

”Earth Rank Low Level Martial Technique: Withered Wood Encountering Spring!”

The severely injured tall and thin man acted promptly. A brilliant green radiance burst from his body, causing the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees to wither instantly. Flecks of green light rose from them and were absorbed by the man, his injuries healing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Wood Element Techniques were known for their healing capabilities, and since the tall and thin man had used an Earth Rank Martial Technique, the effect was even more potent.

”Kill!” the white-haired elder roared, and the five men charged at Su Han once again.

”Origin Technique: Fiery Flame Storm!”

A glint flashed in Su Han’s eyes as he used the Origin Technique of his Crimson Flame Emperor Body. It was a wide-area attack, not exceptionally damaging to a single target, but with excellent effects against groups.

”One Mysteries True Fire!”

Su Han opened his mouth and spat a dense flame as bright as light. This was the One Mysteries True Fire, refined from his own vital essence. Although it was significantly weaker than the Nine Mysteries True Fire, it was still far superior to ordinary Spiritual Fire. With the One Mysteries True Fire at its core, the Fiery Flame Storm Su Han unleashed was even more potent.

BOOM!

Crimson flames soared into the sky, forming a storm three hundred meters wide. The storm swept across the land like a dragon, its intense heat twisting and burning the very air.

”This is bad!”

The white-haired elder’s face fell, but before he could retreat, the Fiery Flame Storm descended upon them. In an instant, all five men were struck by the storm. They felt as if they had been cast into Purgatory, suffering unbearable pain.

”Form the array!” the white-haired elder roared. A beam of golden light burst from his body. Simultaneously, the other four made their moves, each emitting a ray of spiritual light. Five different colored spiritual lights crisscrossed through the air, swiftly intertwining to form a Great Formation. A powerful Five Elements force emerged from within it, confronting the Fiery Flame Storm and gradually grinding it down to nothing.

”We cultivate the Earth Rank Cultivation Method ’Five Elements Mantra,’ which allows the five of us to integrate as one and deploy the Five Elements Formation! It cycles endlessly, with each part interlocked. No one in the Phenomenon Realm can withstand it. You may be strong, but you will fall before our Five Elements Formation!” the white-haired elder shouted, his hair and beard bristling as he glared at Su Han, his eyes wide with anger.

The Five Elements Formation was truly extraordinary. It didn’t require the inscription of Formation Patterns; instead, it fused the Spiritual Energy of all five cultivators. By leveraging the cyclical, inter-supportive, and restraining nature of the Five Elements, their combined power was magnified. It would now be difficult for Su Han to pick them off one by one unless he broke the Five Elements Formation.

”Nine Heavens Eye.”

Divine Sense surged, gathering between his brows. Instantly, the Nine Heavens Eye coalesced, capable of seeing through illusions and discerning truth from falsehood. Under its gaze, Su Han perceived every detail of the Five Elements Formation. Coupled with the formation mastery he had inherited, which was already at a master’s level, he quickly saw through the entire array.

”Five Elements Giant Hand Seal!”

The white-haired elder, unaware that Su Han had already seen through his formation, moved swiftly with the other four to activate the array. The five types of Spiritual Energy—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—merged into one, transforming into a five-hundred-meter giant hand. It descended like Tai Mount, slapping down toward Su Han with the intent to suppress everything.

”Golden Light Fierce Fire!”

Su Han stretched out his hand, grabbing the Golden Light Fiery Mirror. He channeled the Secret of the Soldier Character and fired a finger-thick beam of Golden Light Fierce Fire. However, the beam did not target the Five Elements Giant Hand Seal. Instead, it struck a specific point on the Five Elements Formation.

PFFT!

With a soft sound like air leaking from a balloon, the white-haired elder was horrified to find that the Five Elements Formation had been broken and was rapidly dissipating. As the formation collapsed, the immensely powerful Five Elements Giant Hand Seal also disintegrated, its power vastly reduced.

”Second Style: One Slash Thunder Clap!”

Su Han gripped the Black Blade, drawing upon the Thunder Light of heaven and earth. This time, all the light condensed onto the blade with none leaking out. He slashed, and with the sound of an erupting thunderclap, his blade cleaved the air and struck the remnants of the Five Elements Giant Hand Seal.

BOOM!

The Giant Hand Seal instantly shattered. The terrifying blast wave swept out like a tide of annihilation, forcing the white-haired elder and his four companions back. They sustained minor injuries, blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.

”King Tian Yunshan sent you to your deaths, so I shall grant his wish!” A cold glint flashed in Su Han’s eyes. He instantly activated the Character Technique of Motion, his speed exploding tenfold. Moving faster than lightning, he appeared before the strongest of the five, the white-haired elder.

”Not good!” As Su Han closed in, the elder’s face paled, a profound sense of crisis gripping his heart.

”Body Binding Technique!” A burst of Divine Sense shot forth as Su Han swiftly cast a Lesser Divine Prohibition. The white-haired elder’s body immediately stiffened, unable to move.

”Blinding Technique!”

”Silencing Technique!”

Su Han cast three Lesser Divine Prohibitions at once. Suddenly, the elder’s world went black; he could see nothing. His ears went deaf; he could hear nothing. Immobilized, blind, and deaf, the white-haired elder had never encountered such a terrifying situation. He felt himself engulfed by fear, unable to escape, with only death awaiting him.

”This slash will send you to Hell!”

Su Han gripped the Black Blade, pouring his surging Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi into it. He drew upon the Thunder Light of heaven and earth, gathering a force of unmatched weight and power.

”First Style: Thunderbolt Overwhelming Power!”

Before the astonished eyes of the other four, the Black Blade descended, carrying endless thunderbolts. It effortlessly sliced through the white-haired elder’s neck, decapitating him and extinguishing his life in an instant.

One slash, and the white-haired elder was dead.
