Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

”Too strong, far too strong! When did the Human Race produce such a formidable prodigy?”

”Is he really just in the Divine Power Realm? He feels even more terrifying than a Heavenly King Realm expert. Despite so many of us launching a joint attack, he managed to kill more than fifty of us in return.”

”I can’t go on. Even if you gave me a Holy Artifact, I wouldn’t make a move. Treasures are desirable, but one must be alive to claim them!”

The remaining prodigies of the Demon Race trembled violently, as if a bucket of ice-cold water had been poured over their heads.

Initially, with experts like Jing Chuan and two other Heavenly King Realm fighters present, they felt victory was assured and that killing Su Han and his allies would be a simple matter. Although they were shocked when Lan Mu was assassinated, they weren’t overly worried, since they still had two formidable experts, Jing Chuan and Swordtooth Shark. But when Jing Chuan was also defeated, they began to panic.

Still, they held the numerical advantage and were confident they could achieve victory by overwhelming the smaller force.

Unfortunately, the harsh reality dealt them a heavy blow. Now, with a hundred of them attacking together, not only had they failed to kill Su Han, but more than half of them had been killed in return.

In contrast, Su Han, aside from having expended a great deal of Demonic Qi, was uninjured. This brutal disparity left them thoroughly terrified, and they no longer dared to make a move against him.

”Devour!”

At this moment, Su Han activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, consuming and refining the corpses of the Demon Race prodigies one by one, swiftly restoring his depleted Demonic Qi.

Seeing this, the survivors plunged into deeper despair. You couldn’t kill him, but he could easily kill you. Who wouldn’t feel hopeless against such an enemy?

Even Swordtooth Shark’s pupils shrank, and alarm bells screamed in his mind as he drastically escalated his assessment of Su Han’s threat level.

Clearly, he had underestimated this prodigy of the Human Race. Not only was Su Han’s innate talent and strength extraordinary, but his will to fight was also truly terrifying, no less formidable than his own. A man like Su Han could no longer be taken lightly or underestimated. He had to be treated with the utmost seriousness, as a mortal enemy.

”Su Han, you truly deserve to die for killing so many of my people! I swear I will slay you here today and ensure you suffer eternal damnation, never to be reborn!”

A roar of fury echoed from Jing Chuan’s mouth, shaking the heavens like rolling thunder.

Although the joint attack of the hundred Demon Race prodigies had failed to kill Su Han, it had bought Jing Chuan enough time to heal. His injuries were now mostly healed. Seeing Su Han’s incredible power, he, like Swordtooth Shark, now regarded Su Han as a mortal enemy.

”Spatial Turbulence!”

Jing Chuan stared fixedly at Su Han. His colossal body suddenly moved, his massive tail fin lashing toward his opponent.

However, the true lethal move this time wasn’t the enormous, heavy tail fin but the Spatial Turbulence the strike itself generated. Heavenly King Realm experts could wield a portion of Spatial Force, and the Void was fraught with peril. The most infamous of these dangers were Spatial Turbulence and Spatial Storms, which could obliterate anything into nothingness.

Jing Chuan tore open space, revealing the pitch-dark, deep Void within. A moment later, streams of Spatial Force surged, conjuring a mass of Spatial Turbulence.

This Spatial Turbulence was only the size of a palm, shaped like an irregularly flowing vortex. It spun like a meat grinder, capable of pulverizing everything to pieces.

Though it was small, the Spatial Turbulence posed a lethal threat to Su Han. Since he had not yet broken through to the Heavenly King Realm, he couldn’t wield Spatial Force. His only options were to either dodge the attack or withstand it directly.

But if I try to withstand it, my strongest defense will surely fail, and even my Sacred Body might not bear the impact. After all, this is destructive energy from the Void, not something an ordinary person could possibly withstand.

”Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe!”

Daring not to be careless, Su Han once again employed his Origin Technique. Instantly, his Primordial Qi merged, transforming into a Heaven-Opening God Ax that chopped toward the Spatial Turbulence.

BOOM!

Although Primordial Qi was not Spatial Force, it was stronger. As the ax fell, it successfully split the cluster of Spatial Turbulence.

However, the scattered Spatial Force shot out in all directions, piercing through space and the ground. Two streams of this energy struck Su Han, piercing through his strongest defense and leaving two pinprick-sized bloody holes in his skin.

The power contained within the Spatial Turbulence was evident. If the main attack had connected, Su Han would have been severely wounded, if not killed.

Fortunately, his Primordial Qi could withstand the Spatial Turbulence. With the attack cleaved apart, Jing Chuan’s ultimate move had failed, and Su Han seized the opportunity.

”Cursing Killing Nether Technique!”

”Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!”

”Heavier than Mount Tai!”

”Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!”

The Shore Flower Clone was unaffected and quickly unleashed various Origin Techniques and Divine Methods, striking Jing Chuan simultaneously and further weakening him. However, having suffered a setback before, Jing Chuan struggled fiercely this time. He managed to shake off much of the assault, rendering Su Han’s weakening techniques largely ineffective.

”Nine Palace Golden Pagoda!”

”Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!”

”Three Mountains and Five Peaks!”

”Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!”

The Shore Flower Clone continued its assault, unleashing a variety of techniques at once. A powerful surge of energy transformed into an overwhelming tide that completely engulfed Jing Chuan. But his injuries had healed significantly, and he was prepared this time. He continually used Martial Techniques, activated the Giant Sea Conch, and unleashed his Divine Power Techniques. His powerful Physical Body also held up against the onslaught, preventing Su Han’s attacks from inflicting the same severe damage as before.

”Spatial Force!”

While fending off Su Han’s attacks, Jing Chuan counterattacked, attempting to conjure Spatial Turbulence once more to kill Su Han. The two erupted into another massive, earth-shattering battle that tore the heavens and shattered the earth, as if the apocalypse had arrived.

Yet Su Han’s expression remained indifferent, his gaze sharp, always waiting for an opportunity. Now is the time! Finally, he spotted a flaw in Jing Chuan’s defense and seized the fleeting chance.

”Nine Heavens Divine Light!”

The Jing Tribe’s Physical Body was strong, but their spiritual power was a relative weakness. Su Han’s previous barrage had been a deliberate ploy to lower Jing Chuan’s guard, all for this one fatal blow.

SWOOSH!

A faint golden beam of Nine Heavens Divine Light shot out, striking Jing Chuan squarely on the glabella through the opening.

In the next moment, the Nine Heavens Divine Light, like a Heaven-Slaying Divine Sword—impossibly sharp and unstoppable—pierced directly into Jing Chuan’s sea of consciousness.

Although Jing Chuan’s sea of consciousness contained protective treasures, he was merely a member of a branch family. Consequently, his treasures were of a low grade and could not withstand the sharpness of the Nine Heavens Divine Light, shattering after only a moment’s resistance.

The Nine Heavens Divine Light then bored into his sea of consciousness, shredding his Divine Sense to tatters. Jing Chuan screamed in agony as his aura weakened, having suffered a grievous wound.

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

”Golden Emperor Tianyang Fist!”

”Nine Palace Golden Pagoda!”

Seizing the opportunity, Su Han channeled all his Demonic Qi and unleashed his three strongest techniques.

In an instant, a blade beam of lightning and fire slashed into Jing Chuan. The Golden Fist Radiance pierced through his massive body, and the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda descended to suppress him utterly.

Before the shocked and horrified eyes of the onlookers, Jing Chuan’s struggles grew weaker and his life force fainter, until it was extinguished completely.

Jing Chuan was slain on the spot.
