Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

BOOM!

Su Han was sent flying once again, like a lone boat in a tempest, in constant danger of capsizing. If not for the robustness of his Physical Body, the Mist Dragon would have already torn him to shreds. Although the Mist Dragon was formed entirely from dense fog, its attacks were incomparably fierce, as if a True Dragon had descended upon the world.

At this point, the Demonic Qi in Su Han’s body was exhausted. He could not even activate the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, leaving him with no techniques to use. He could only rely on his Physical Body to endure the Mist Dragon’s onslaught, but this meant that defeat was merely a matter of time.

*A demon born from a single thought!*

Inside his Spirit Sea, his Divine Sense Stellar flared, and a torrent of Divine Sense poured out from between his eyebrows. It rapidly condensed into a Divine Sense Demon Sabre that slashed toward the Mist Dragon.

The essence of this Mist Dragon was the Remnant Soul of a Resentful Dragon, a spiritual entity against which ordinary attacks were useless. Spiritual Attacks, however, were brutally effective. Su Han’s Divine Sense was also immensely powerful. The Divine Sense Demon Sabre he formed was ten meters long, as solid as steel, and incomparably sharp as it slashed directly at the Mist Dragon.

The Divine Sense Demon Sabre struck the Mist Dragon, which immediately roared in pain. But Su Han had clearly underestimated this Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon. Although his sabre had wounded the Mist Dragon, the injury was not severe. Instead, it seemed he had only managed to enrage it completely.

”Resentful Dragon’s Breath!”

The Mist Dragon opened its great maw, and the dense fog within gathered before shooting out as a special kind of Dragon Breath. Like a laser, this Dragon Breath was not only immense in Might but also incredibly fast, striking Su Han in an instant.

In a flash, Su Han’s shoulder was pierced clean through. A bloody hole appeared, gushing fresh blood, while an endless resentment churned within the wound, preventing his self-healing abilities from working.

”Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!”

Su Han let out a sudden roar that sounded like a True Dragon’s cry. Augmented by the lingering Dragon’s Might in the area, the sound waves swept out like a tempest, crashing directly into the Mist Dragon. The sonic assault was effective, shaking the Mist Dragon so violently that it nearly dissipated, but its power was still insufficient to inflict a grievous wound. Instead, the beast roared and lashed out, its claws blotting out the sky and its tail cracking like a whip, sending Su Han reeling back once more and worsening his injuries.

This can’t go on. I have to find a way! Su Han’s brow furrowed as his mind raced, desperately searching for a solution. The Mist Dragon was composed of dense fog and controlled by the Remnant Soul of a Resentful Dragon, rendering ordinary attacks nearly useless. The only viable option was a Spiritual Attack, but his own Divine Sense was just slightly too weak.

*Cursing Killing Nether Technique!*

A sudden inspiration struck Su Han, and he decided to try the Divine Method he had just acquired. He immediately connected with the Netherworld, drawing forth a wisp of malevolent aura and sending it silently toward the Mist Dragon. The Cursing Power Technique was the only curse Su Han currently knew. It could significantly weaken an enemy’s power, and though he was unsure if it would work on the Mist Dragon, he had to try.

The wisp of malevolent aura soon landed on the Mist Dragon. As the Cursing Power Technique activated, the creature began to thrash violently as if it had been thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil. It let out piercing screams, as if it were being flayed alive.

The effect was unexpectedly potent!

Su Han was startled for a moment, but a look of delight quickly spread across his face as he figured out the reason. The Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon was, after all, a soul. The Netherworld is the final destination for all the dead, and its aura represents an irresistible heavenly might to all remnant souls. He had not expected the effect of this single wisp of malevolent aura to be so great. Struck by it, the Mist Dragon began to wilt rapidly. Not only was its strength greatly diminished, but its mental state also shifted from sky-high resentment to absolute terror.

It’s a pity I’ve only mastered the Cursing Power Technique, Su Han thought with regret as he gazed at the weakened Mist Dragon. If I knew a few more curses, I could have annihilated this Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon directly. I’m just a little short.

”Nine Heavens Divine Light!”

Gritting his teeth, Su Han swiftly activated his Nine Heavens Eye. He poured all of his majestic Divine Sense into the Heavenly Eye, condensing it into a pale golden beam of Divine Light.

SWISH!

The Nine Heavens Divine Light shot out, accurately piercing the Mist Dragon’s head. In an instant, the Mist Dragon let out a horrifyingly shrill scream as its massive body rapidly shrank from three thousand meters to one thousand.

At this moment, Su Han had the clear upper hand. The malevolent aura’s curse combined with the devastating blow from the Nine Heavens Divine Light had brought the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon to the brink of collapse.

”Human, I will take you down with me!”

The Mist Dragon roared furiously and charged toward Su Han with reckless abandon. In the next moment, the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon dove into Su Han’s body, making a beeline for his Spirit Sea. It intended to shatter Su Han’s Spirit Sea and drag him down into death with it.

An icy chill instantly seized Su Han, and his face became deathly pale, as if he had been plunged into a cavern of ice.

”It’s over!” Lan Xi cried out, her pretty face paling as her eyes filled with despair. ”The Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon has entered his body to destroy his Spirit Sea! Not even the gods can save him now!”

The Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon was incredibly powerful, comparable to an expert at the Heavenly King Realm. How could the heavily injured and weakened Su Han possibly resist it with his feeble Divine Sense?

”Impossible! Su Su will be fine, he has to be!” Zhang Xiaowan shook her head so vigorously it resembled a rattle-drum, refusing to believe Su Han would die and clinging to a desperate glimmer of hope.

The Mist Dragon had vanished, and the dense fog in the valley had dissipated. Only Su Han’s figure remained, standing frozen in place. His face alternated between ashen and pale as he endured an unknown agony.

Inside his Spirit Sea, the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon had already forced its way in, transforming into a black-and-red draconic shadow that was ferociously attacking Su Han’s Divine Sense Stellar. He had used his Divine Methods in quick succession and unleashed a blast of the Nine Heavens Divine Light, severely depleting his Divine Sense. Facing the soul’s assault, he could only defend passively. His situation was critical. Under the relentless assault of the Remnant Soul, his Spirit Sea trembled violently, on the verge of collapse, forcing Su Han to defend with every ounce of his will.

*Dual Black Holes… devour!*

Left with no other choice, Su Han activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. Immediately, his Divine Sense warped into two black holes that exerted a terrifying suction, relentlessly pulling the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon inside.

The Devouring Heaven Demonic Art could consume heaven, earth, and all of creation; naturally, the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon was no exception. However, the soul was saturated with resentful energy. Devouring it would make Refinement difficult and would likely throw his own spirit into chaos. For this reason, Su Han had been unwilling to use this method unless it was his absolute last resort.

As the black holes manifested, they quickly swallowed the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon. In turn, Su Han was slammed by a powerful backlash of resentful energy. An endless tide of resentment surged from the depths of his being—a desire to tear, destroy, and slaughter everything in existence.

*Defying Heavenly Demon Will!*

Gritting his teeth, Su Han activated the Defying Heavenly Demon Will in his heart, immediately pitting it against the tide of resentful energy. Although Su Han’s Defying Heavenly Demon Will was still just a seed, it was far beyond what the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon could contend with. As time passed, the resentful energy was eliminated, bit by bit. When the final trace of resentment was erased, the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon was completely extinguished.

「As the Remnant Soul of the Resentful Dragon dissipated, Tongyan regained consciousness.」
