Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The Great Soul Destruction Melody damaged not just the sea of consciousness, but the soul itself. At this moment, Di Yuan’s sea of consciousness had been breached, revealing a fine crack on his very soul. This pain, though it did not harm his physical body, struck at his core, proving unbearable even for him.

”What an opportunity!” Su Han’s eyes lit up as he swiftly seized the fleeting chance.

”Origin Technique: Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!”

”Origin Technique: Heavier than Tai Mount!”

The two Origin Techniques combined to form a gravitational and magnetic field a hundred meters in size, completely enveloping Di Yuan. Instantly, gravity and magnetism bore down on him, making his body incredibly heavy and his movements sluggish, which greatly diminished his combat power. Previously, Di Yuan had been unharmed and protected by his Evil Qi, leaving Su Han no opening. Now, an opportunity had finally presented itself.

”Invincible Tao Xin!”

”Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!”

Su Han once again deployed two Divine Methods in succession. An aura of invincibility instantly pressed down on Di Yuan, destabilizing his Dao Heart—even the slightest influence was beneficial. He then let out a long cry that sounded like the chant of a heavenly dragon. Augmented by the immense Dragon’s Might, the attack’s power tripled, slamming directly into Di Yuan’s head and causing his already damaged sea of consciousness to tremble once more.

”Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!”

Su Han held nothing back. While Di Yuan’s sea of consciousness reeled, his Divine Sense surged forth, deploying five minor Divine Prohibitions from the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method. They landed on Di Yuan in an instant, momentarily restraining him.

A single misstep invites total defeat. Ensnared by Su Han’s various techniques, Di Yuan stood frozen on the spot as if bound hand and foot, unable to move, let alone continue fighting.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

He clenched his left fist. Although it did not trigger the tenfold combat power of the Jie Character Secret, the punch was still powerful enough to shatter a thousand-zhang-high mountain. It was utterly terrifying.

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

With the blade in his right hand, the Demonic Patterns upon it lit up as the Bloodthirsty Demonic Flame burned fiercely. Simultaneously using the Dou Character Secret to execute the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes, he intertwined lightning and fire into a force of extreme destructive power.

BOOM!

Su Han didn’t hold back, striking Di Yuan hard with his full force. Di Yuan was instantly submerged in the terrifying energy. The ground quaked, and the very spot where he stood collapsed and caved in, forming a massive crater.

”Nine Heavens Eye!”

Su Han swiftly deployed the Nine Heavens Eye, its gaze piercing through the chaotic energy fluctuations. He once again caught sight of Di Yuan inside the crater.

Di Yuan was sprawled on the ground. A conspicuous, sunken fist print was indented in his chest, and a scorched blade mark extended from his left shoulder to his right flank, nearly splitting him in two. Mouthfuls of fresh blood spilled from his lips, forming a small pool. His injuries were severe, and he cut a pitiful figure.

”Kill!”

Su Han had no intention of giving Di Yuan any chance to recover. Gripping the Black Blade, he closed in for another slash. Di Yuan was, after all, a Heavenly King Realm expert and a follower of the Tian Lou Saint. Who knew what kind of trump cards he might possess? Therefore, Su Han couldn’t let his guard down until Di Yuan was truly dead.

”Supreme Blade Light!”

Although Di Yuan was warlike and bloodthirsty, he had no wish to be killed. Seeing Su Han rapidly approaching, he did not hesitate to bring out a Supreme Treasure. In a flash, an intense supreme majesty enveloped the entire basin. Then, a blade light of terrifying power came slicing through the air. A single slash crossed the heavens, as if splitting the firmament in two. The massive spatial rift it left behind was like a wound inflicted upon the heavens, stretching across the sky. This slash was the ultimate killing strike of a Supreme Realm powerhouse, terrifying beyond compare.

”Ultimate Defense!”

Su Han’s pupils contracted. He quickly retreated while deploying his strongest defense and activating the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation, using its Holy Might and the Thunder Sea to withstand the attack. But the slash was simply too powerful. It cleaved through everything, as if nothing in the world could withstand its edge. The Thunder Sea was instantly split apart. The Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, its power limited by the need to maintain the Great Formation, could only weaken the attack, not block it entirely.

In the end, the terrifying blade light struck Su Han, slashing through layer after layer of his Origin Technique defenses and landing on his body.

SPURT!

A wound instantly appeared, spraying blood into the air. Su Han was sent flying as if struck by a colossal force, slamming into a hill at the basin’s edge and causing it to collapse into rubble. The Supreme Blade Light was incomparably terrifying, capable of slaying even a Heavenly King, let alone someone in the Divine Power Realm.

COUGH, COUGH!

The sound of violent coughing and spitting blood came from the rubble. Su Han struggled to his feet. He had not been killed by the blow. The Nine Palace Golden Pagoda had weakened most of the attack’s power, and that, combined with the layered protection of his ultimate defense, had allowed him to narrowly escape death. Even so, he was grievously wounded and on the brink of death.

”Secret of Healer!”

Without hesitation, Su Han activated the Secret of Healer. The wounds on his body began to close at a visible rate, and he soon recovered completely.

Meanwhile, Di Yuan seized the opportunity to consume Healing Pills, and his injuries had also mostly recovered.

”Kill!”

Su Han stared coldly at Di Yuan. Gripping the Black Blade, he charged forward once more. No matter how many tricks Di Yuan had, he was determined to kill him today.

”You little rat! You’ve successfully angered me! I will eat your flesh, drink your blood, and grind your bones to dust!” Di Yuan’s face was a ferocious, malevolent mask. He had come within an inch of death just moments ago, and it had completely ignited his killing intent. Now holding the Tiger Bone Halberd, he too charged forward to attack.

However, his sea of consciousness was damaged, causing his spirit to fluctuate violently. Furthermore, he had been seriously injured by Su Han’s full-power attack, turning what had been an even match into a fight where he was at a disadvantage.

Having obtained the memories of countless gods and demons, Su Han possessed incredibly rich combat experience. He had also survived numerous life-and-death battles. Once he gained an advantage, he never gave his enemies a chance to turn the tables. He now struck with all his might—the Black Blade was like a bolt of lightning, and his Martial Techniques flowed one after another, forcing Di Yuan into a steady retreat.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Power: Chaotic Dance of the Heavenly Demon!”

At this moment, Zhang Xiaowan attacked again, deploying a Divine Power Technique. The Forbidden Technique she had used earlier left her pale and listless, with a part of her soul shorn away. She could no longer use it and could only resort to Divine Power Techniques. But with his sea of consciousness already damaged, Di Yuan was at a clear disadvantage, and Zhang Xiaowan’s attack had a considerable impact on him.

Although Di Yuan was strong, he was being suppressed by the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda and now faced a joint attack from Su Han and Zhang Xiaowan. His situation was precarious.

BANG!

Di Yuan was once again sent flying by Su Han’s punch. Two bloodied teeth flew from his mouth and hit the ground as his injuries worsened. Su Han’s gaze was piercing. With a swift movement of his blade, he pursued his target relentlessly, giving Di Yuan no opportunity to recover. If this continued, Di Yuan’s defeat and death were certain.

However, just at that moment, an unfamiliar voice suddenly rang out, ”Tsk, tsk. Di Yuan, I never expected to see you beaten into such a sorry state!”
