Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

WHOOSH! Like a great whale inhaling the sea, a rich white stream of energy surged forth and was drawn into Su Han’s mouth. This stream was composed entirely of condensed Spirit Marrow. Each drop of Spirit Marrow was equivalent to ten drops of Spiritual Liquid, containing an immense amount of Spiritual Energy.

An ordinary person would be unable to bear such an abundance of Spiritual Energy; their body would likely explode. The Seven Injuries Devil Honorable held this same view, believing that even for a breakthrough, the amount of Spirit Marrow consumed would not be excessive.

But Su Han had not only achieved the Crystallization of the Holy Body, but he also possessed the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. Each breath he took absorbed a thousandth of the entire Spirit Marrow Pool.

The Spirit Marrow within the pool was visibly decreasing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Meanwhile, Su Han, having completed his Ice-Fire Tempering, was now polishing his body and accumulating power, preparing to charge into the Physique Realm.

The Physique Realm was a state created by using one’s own Phenomenon as the core, condensing one’s Divine Sense, Martial Arts will, soul, and other energies. The resulting Physique was ephemeral and unpredictable, with countless wondrous applications.

Su Han’s Dual Black Holes were a rarity in the world, so no one could predict what kind of Heaven and Earth Physique would form. When he had broken through to the Phenomenon Realm, Su Han had absorbed an entire Spirit Pool. Now, aiming for the Physique Realm, he wondered if this single pool of Spirit Marrow would be enough.

”Phenomenon: Dual Black Holes!”

At Su Han’s command, the Phenomenon manifested. The fifteen-meter-wide Dual Black Holes appeared behind him, like a colossal demonic eye gazing down upon all life. At this moment, the Dual Black Holes had solidified from their ethereal form, poised for the final transformation into a Heaven and Earth Physique to mark a successful breakthrough.

Su Han sat cross-legged, circulating the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art at full power, absorbing the Spirit Marrow while attempting the transformation. However, the Dual Black Holes were like a true bottomless pit, refusing to be filled no matter how much energy he poured into them.

I refuse to believe it. This entire pool of Spirit Marrow must be enough for a breakthrough! And if it isn’t, there’s still an entire Intermediate-Grade Spirit Vein here. I vow to break through today!

Gritting his teeth, Su Han decided to risk it all. Such an opportunity was rare, and finding another Intermediate-Grade Spirit Vein would be incredibly difficult.

”Devour!”

Without hesitation, Su Han pushed the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to its limits. Countless small black vortices appeared on the surface of his body, each possessing an even stronger Devouring Force that relentlessly absorbed the surrounding Spirit Marrow.

Su Han’s entire body flickered with spiritual light. He sat cross-legged, his expression solemn and majestic, as he strove to break through to the Physique Realm. This time, neither the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art nor anyone else could help him. He had to rely on himself alone.

”With me, I am invincible!”

Su Han invoked his Invincible Tao Xin, steeling himself with infinite conviction as he gritted his teeth and pushed onward with frenzied determination.

As time passed, the Spirit Marrow in the pool was gradually depleted, while Su Han’s Aura continued to soar. Yet, even when the last drop of Spirit Marrow was gone, Su Han still had not broken through to the Physique Realm.

WHOOSH!

Su Han’s eyes snapped open. He immediately used the Character Technique of Motion to leave the Spirit Marrow Pool and enter the Spirit Vein itself. The Spirit Vein flowed like a river, one filled entirely with pure Spiritual Liquid. Although its quality couldn’t compare to Spirit Marrow, it was far superior to ordinary Spirit Stones.

”Devour!”

With bloodshot eyes, Su Han frantically circulated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, greedily absorbing the Spiritual Liquid like a great whale drinking the sea. The amount of Spiritual Liquid in an Intermediate-Grade Spirit Vein was as vast as a great river. Even Su Han, with his incredible capacity, could not consume it all. But with such a boundless supply and no one to stop him, Su Han seized the opportunity to devour with all his might until he finally reached his limit.

Success or failure hinges on this moment!

His gaze as sharp as lightning, Su Han swiftly submerged himself in the Spirit Vein, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to begin his assault on the realm barrier. The immense Spiritual Energy he had absorbed had long been poured into his Dual Black Holes. They now shone brighter than ever, emitting a profound, pitch-black light that seemed to be the endpoint of all light.

”Hmm?”

Suddenly, a thought stirred in Su Han’s mind. Reaching into his Bronze Ring, he withdrew the Ghostly Face Mask. At this moment, the mask was also glowing and trembling slightly, emanating a powerful sense of desire.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Han donned the mask. Instantly, a cold stream of Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi surged from it. This time, however, it did not spread through his limbs but condensed into a single beam and shot directly into the Dual Black Holes.

In an instant, a tremendous surge of energy swept over him, subjecting Su Han to an unprecedented and terrifying pressure.

I’m about to break through!

Su Han clenched his teeth and held on, a powerful premonition washing over him. The Dual Black Holes were transforming. Faint ripples spread from them, growing increasingly intense until they caused the very fabric of time and space to vibrate. It was as if the world itself was now centered on this point, with all of creation rooted here.

The entire Intermediate-Grade Spirit Vein was affected, shaking violently. The surging Spiritual Liquid churned into colossal, crashing waves.

Outside, everyone could clearly feel the ground quaking, as if a great earth dragon were turning over beneath them, heralding a massive earthquake. The tremors grew stronger, causing many disciples of the Heavenly Demon Cult to lose their footing and fall to the ground. Not only that, but palaces began to collapse, the earth split open, and swamps roiled, as if a great cataclysm was at hand.

”What’s happening underground?” the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable thought, his head splitting with pain. The thief had not yet been found, and now this was happening. ”No, Yin Ya is still in the Spirit Marrow Pool!” His first thought was for the safety of the little demon lord. Yin Ya was his only son. He could endure any punishment, but he could not allow the slightest harm to befall him. With a flash, his figure vanished as he raced toward the entrance of the Spirit Vein.

The Seven Injuries Devil Honorable sped toward the Spirit Marrow Pool, just as Su Han reached the final moment of his breakthrough.

BOOM!

Endless black light erupted from the Dual Black Holes, and this light coalesced into Black Netherworld Flowers. The flowers bloomed on both sides of the Spirit Vein, a terrifying sight akin to the Underworld itself reappearing. Shore Flowers were typically red or white, but these blossoms were pitch black. One after another, they unfurled, saturated with a Demonic Nature that brought with it an air of sorrow and pain.

”When the Shore Flower blooms across seven-colored heavens, its fall marks a thousand years to immortality!”

A whisper, its gender and origin unknown, echoed beside Su Han’s ear. At that moment, the countless Black Netherworld Flowers took flight again, spinning in the air before rapidly converging into a single, black-robed figure.

The figure was tall, standing with his hands clasped behind his back. He wore the Ghostly Face Mask and an imperial robe embroidered with Black Netherworld Flowers. Ten black holes hovered around him like ten black suns. A demonic Imperial Might erupted from his body, and instantly, the space around him fractured. Horrifying visions of time and space dissolving, all things sinking into oblivion, and the world itself ending played out, as if he were the very demon of destruction.

This was Su Han’s Heaven and Earth Physique. It was drawn from his very being and sourced from the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, manifesting as a Demon Emperor before whom heaven and earth must submit!

Physique Realm—breakthrough successful.
