Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Origin Technique: Primordial Qi

A golden figure appeared before Lu Yunxian and Ning Feifan. The dazzling golden light was so bright it was painful to look at, like the midday sun, blinding and piercing. After a long wait, the golden light gradually dimmed, and they were finally able to see Su Han clearly.

There seemed to be no change in Su Han’s appearance, but his figure had grown slightly taller. His body and limbs seemed to follow the golden ratio, exuding a perfect harmony. A full head of black hair draped over his shoulders, each strand glistening. His skin was fair, as if carved from the finest mutton-fat jade, and his features were distinct and exceedingly pleasing to the eye.

Most importantly, an immortal and indestructible aura emanated from him, as if he were a heaven-sent spirit, full of Dao Rhyme and vitality.

”Little Han!” Lu Yunxian exclaimed, her beautiful eyes filled with shock. She had cared for Su Han since he was a child and knew him intimately, yet the Su Han before her now seemed like a banished immortal descending to the mortal realm, ethereal and distant.

The Heavenly Thunder and Ice Fire Tempering Method is indeed more potent than I imagined. It not only allowed me to complete the Marrow Cleansing but also enabled my Sacred Body to achieve the Crystallization of the Holy Body.

His Sacred Body had previously only been at the Entry Level. While its golden Qi-Blood was potent, it had not yet fully demonstrated the physique’s true power. This time, he had finally shattered his shackles and achieved the Crystallization of the Holy Body.

Su Han lightly clenched his fist. Golden Qi-Blood surged within him, flowing endlessly. A torrent of power circulated through his limbs and bones, making him feel that he could shatter a thousand-foot mountain with a single punch.

With the Crystallization of the Holy Body, my Physical Strength has reached one hundred million pounds. Crushing mountains and splitting the earth will be a simple matter.

Although Su Han’s Sacred Body had been strong before, it was primarily defined by its golden Qi-Blood, providing only limited strength enhancement. But now his strength had skyrocketed; one hundred million pounds of force was enough to kill a man with a single punch. If he were to use the Great Luo Golden Bone to execute the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist, few in the Phenomenon Realm could withstand a single blow from him.

The Crystallization of the Holy Body not only strengthened his Physical Body and increased his power, but it also awakened his own Origin Technique. He knew that the Origin Techniques he had previously mastered were all acquired by devouring the physiques of others. Although powerful, they were not truly his own.

Origin Technique: Primordial Qi!

This was Su Han’s very own Origin Technique. It was neither offensive nor defensive, yet its applications were limitless. The Primordial is all-encompassing, containing all things. It is the Dao, it is principle, it is the Great Way of heaven and earth. Taiji is Primordial, the Eight Trigrams are Primordial, Yin and Yang are Primordial, as are heaven, earth, and man.

Su Han’s Origin Technique was born from his Sacred Body and was a legacy of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. It was said that using the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to devour the Three Thousand Physiques could evolve a Sacred Body into a Chaos Body—the strongest physique in the world, indestructible and immortal. And this Primordial Qi could attack, defend, bind, unseal, and evolve into anything. If Su Han’s power were sufficient, this Primordial Qi could even destroy or create worlds. However, he had just awakened it, so its power was limited, but its potential for growth was immense. In the future, it might truly be capable of annihilating and creating worlds.

The hidden dangers in my body have been eliminated, and all impurities have been tempered out. However, my Realm has also dropped back to the Third Layer of the Phenomenon Realm.

The primary purpose of this Body Refining session was Marrow Cleansing, a goal he had already accomplished. The only unfortunate outcome was the drop in his cultivation Realm. After all, the energy he had previously absorbed through devouring was vast but chaotic, like a lump of scrap iron riddled with impurities. Now, after being forged a thousand times, it had become refined steel—superior in quality, but naturally smaller in volume. Even so, Su Han at the Third Layer of the Phenomenon Realm was far stronger than he had been at the Fifth Layer.

”Hmm, not bad. All of Leiming’s efforts were not in vain!” Liu Rumei remarked, looking Su Han up and down with rare praise. Although Su Han was not suited to inherit her legacy, his talent was enough to astound even her.

At that moment, Leiming walked out of the Heavenly Thunder Palace. Hearing Liu Rumei’s words, his face beamed with a gratified smile.

”Elder Liu, how can my Master’s injuries be healed?” Su Han asked, reining in his aura and taking the initiative to inquire. His master’s injuries had worsened for his sake, and he did not have long to live. This debt of kindness could not go unrepaid.

”Ten healing Holy Medicines, or one Immortality Medicine!” Liu Rumei’s words immediately conveyed the immense difficulty of the task.

Holy Medicines were exceedingly rare; the entire Seven Stars Sect did not possess a single one, let alone ten. As for an Immortality Medicine, it was one of the most precious treasures in the world, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bare bones. Its uses were infinite, but every last one was held by a Great Emperor, making them utterly unobtainable.

However, despite the difficulty, Su Han did not give up. As long as there was a chance, he would strive for it with all his might. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring, and the grace Leiming had shown him was far more than a single instance. This great debt must be repaid.

”Life and death are ruled by fate. I came to terms with that long ago. To have met you in my final days is something I am already very content with,” Leiming said, patting Su Han’s shoulder with a carefree and frank demeanor.

”I previously discovered the Supreme Cave Mansion of the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable in the Tiayun Dynasty. I wonder if it might contain a treasure that can heal you, Master,” Su Han spoke up, revealing what he knew. Over a month had passed; the Supreme Cave Mansion should be opening soon.

”The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable!” Both Liu Rumei and Leiming were startled, clearly not expecting Su Han to have had such an encounter.

”I remember that the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable once possessed a supreme-grade Dao medicine called the Dragon Blood Three-Leaf Clover. It contains a trace of True Dragon’s Blood, which he planned to use for his transformation into a Dragon Scorpion. I don’t know if he ever used it, but if he didn’t, it is likely still in his cave mansion.”

Liu Rumei, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, took the initiative to reveal this secret. ”Although the Dragon Blood Three-Leaf Clover is not a Holy Medicine, the trace of True Dragon’s Blood it contains could still benefit Leiming. Perhaps it could extend his life by a few years.”

Dragon Blood Three-Leaf Clover! My Master was willing to risk his life for me. How could I possibly shrink back in fear? Su Han’s gaze sharpened, his mind set on obtaining it.

”In that case, let’s set out now!” Su Han declared, ready to head for the Tiayun Dynasty, re-enter the Supreme Cave Mansion, and search for the Dragon Blood Three-Leaf Clover.

”Yun Xian and I will go as well. The Dragon Blood Three-Leaf Clover needs to be nourished with Wood Spirit Qi, or its medicinal power will diminish quickly,” Liu Rumei unexpectedly volunteered to accompany them, which significantly improved Su Han’s impression of her.

Although she has a solitary nature, her heart is kind. It was the right choice for Fairy Sister Yun Xian to take her as a master.

”Big Brother, Elder Leiming, I would also like to see the Supreme Cave Mansion!” Ning Feifan chimed in, eager to go.

”If that’s the case, then let’s all go together!” Leiming nodded, not wanting to refuse their kind intentions.

Soon, the party of five departed from Yaoguang Peak and flew straight toward the Tiayun Dynasty.

As they made their way, news of the Supreme Cave Mansion spread like wildfire.

”The Supreme Cave Mansion of the Black Scorpion Demon Lord has appeared!”

This piece of news instantly spread in all directions. In an instant, countless people mobilized upon hearing it, brewing a great storm. The battle for the Supreme Cave Mansion was about to begin.
