Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Dead. They were all dead.

The One-Eyed Shark King felt an icy chill seep into his bones, as if he had been plunged into a frozen cellar. He shivered uncontrollably. Among the fallen were the Blue Whale, who was in the same realm as him; the Lu Ying Jellyfish, renowned for assassination; and other prodigies, each with a resounding reputation that could not be taken lightly. But now, they were all dead, reduced to cold corpses utterly devoid of life.

Am I going to be the next corpse? The Shark Tribe may advocate for life-and-death battles, but that doesn’t mean suicide. Su Han’s strength has far exceeded my expectations; he’s simply not someone I can contend with. The deaths of the Blue Whale and the others are the best proof of that. Flee! The desire to survive suddenly surged. I didn’t cultivate to my current level just to die miserably here. I came to the Dragon Palace Ruins to fight for opportunities to become stronger! To fight him to the death means only one thing: death. My only chance is to run.

The One-Eyed Shark King’s mind was clear. He turned to flee without the slightest hesitation.

”Supreme Sharp Tooth!”

The One-Eyed Shark King had been holding a trick up his sleeve. He finally revealed his Supreme Treasure: an ancient, dark-red shark tooth that looked as if it had been steeped in blood. A Supreme aura stirred the heavens and the earth as the tooth shot toward Su Han like a sharp blade of peerless might, attempting to stall him and buy time for an escape.

”Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, suppress!”

Su Han’s expression was unchanged. He activated the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda with the Secret of the Soldier Character. Instantly, the thirty-meter-tall pagoda descended with crushing force, intercepting the Supreme Sharp Tooth. Then, Su Han activated the Character Technique of Motion and Lightning Fast. He burst forward at thirteen times his normal speed, closing in for the kill.

The One-Eyed Shark King was fast, but he was no match for Su Han’s thirteenfold speed. The distance between them closed rapidly.

”Low-Grade Forbidden Technique: Blood Shark Ancestral Return!”

The One-Eyed Shark King cast the Blood Shark Ancestral Return Technique. The demon blood within him began to boil, seeping out from his pores until his entire body resembled a blood-red shark. An ancient and vicious aura erupted from within him, as if a primordial blood shark, capable of battling True Dragons and phoenixes, had been reborn. However, he was not using this Forbidden Technique to attack but to flee. The Blood Shark Ancestral Return Technique greatly increased his strength, and his speed doubled.

”Cursing Killing Nether Technique!”

Su Han’s eyes were cold with murderous intent. As he pursued his target at full speed, he cast the Cursing Killing Nether Technique. He was now able to cast both the Cursing Power Technique and the Cursing Spirit Technique simultaneously, weakening the One-Eyed Shark King’s power and Divine Sense. This plunged his enemy into a weakened state, diminishing the boost from the Blood Shark Ancestral Return Technique.

”Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique!”

Su Han attacked again, unleashing his Origin Technique. A giant palm, one hundred meters in size, coalesced and streaked across the sky toward the One-Eyed Shark King.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Power: One Slash Parting Seas!”

The One-Eyed Shark King’s aura surged as he unleashed his own Divine Power Technique. His dorsal fin glowed with a razor-sharp light, transforming into a Holy Blade that seemed to slice a pitch-black crack into space itself. The slash was powerful enough to cleave through giant waves and split the sea, but Su Han’s Primordial Qi was stronger. It shattered the slash and continued unabated toward the One-Eyed Shark King.

Afflicted by the Cursing Killing Nether Technique, the One-Eyed Shark King’s head throbbed, and his spirit faltered. He was too slow to defend himself and was struck by the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique. He let out a miserable scream and plummeted from the sky.

”Origin Technique: Heavier than Tai Mount!”

Su Han’s eyes lit up, and he acted swiftly. A yellow light struck the One-Eyed Shark King, making his body feel as heavy as lead and severely restricting his speed. Though the One-Eyed Shark King was strong, Su Han was now wearing the Ghostly Face Mask and had undergone Physique Fusion. His combat power was far greater and not something the shark king could match.

At this moment, the One-Eyed Shark King lay on the ground, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. Weakened by the curse of the Cursing Killing Nether Technique and weighed down by the suppression of Heavier than Tai Mount, a look of utter despair crossed his face.

I know now... I’m not going to escape today.

”You want me dead? Don’t think you’ll get away unscathed!”

His ruthless nature meant the One-Eyed Shark King would not simply sit and wait for death. Seeing Su Han rapidly closing in, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His Demon Qi boiled over, and the bloody light covering his body intensified as a ferocious, brutal aura burst forth.

”Ancient Martial Technique: Blood Shark Slaying Dragon!”

The One-Eyed Shark King unleashed his attack. The concentrated blood-light condensed into innumerable blood-red sharks. There were thousands of them, a swarm seemingly capable of surrounding and tearing a True Dragon to shreds. This was a terrifying Martial Technique, not something possessed by modern beings. It was an inheritance from ancient times, passed down through his ancestral memories. The thousands of blood shark phantoms, filled with a bloodthirsty and savage aura, rushed toward Su Han, instantly submerging his figure.

”Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!”

Samadhi True Fire and Triple Chilling Nether Qi appeared in Su Han’s hands, rapidly condensing into a six-petaled Ice-Fire Lotus. It detonated with a thunderous roar, transforming into a wave of Ice-Fire Power that collided with the blood shark phantoms. Terrifying waves of energy swept out, shaking space and cracking the ground.

”Thinking of escaping? As if I’d let you!”

Su Han’s Nine Heavens Eye pierced through the chaos, spotting the One-Eyed Shark King attempting to flee amidst the chaotic energy. Su Han immediately charged through the turbulent waves in pursuit.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Su Han clenched his left fist, his power erupting into a Golden Fist Radiance that shot across the sky toward the One-Eyed Shark King.

Feeling the threat from behind, the One-Eyed Shark King’s heart leaped into his throat. He had not expected Su Han to brave the terrifying energy waves to chase him. Does he not care about his own injuries at all?

BANG!

The One-Eyed Shark King had nowhere to run. He took the punch head-on, and the impact blasted his flesh open and shattered his sternum, gravely worsening his injuries.

”Hmph!”

Knowing he could not escape, the One-Eyed Shark King’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He abruptly changed direction. Instead of fleeing, he charged straight for Tongyan. Tongyan had gravely injured herself to kill the Human Race prodigy and was still suppressing her wounds, unable to help Su Han. The One-Eyed Shark King now targeted her, intending to kill her to make Su Han suffer.

”You’re seeking death!”

The One-Eyed Shark King’s actions made Su Han’s killing intent skyrocket. With a single thought, he drew a strand of Spatial Force from his Dantian and imbued it into the Black Blade.

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

A Thunder-Fire Blade Blaze took shape, swelling to three hundred meters in size and carrying the might to destroy everything as it slashed toward the One-Eyed Shark King. The instant the slash was unleashed, the Spatial Force on it activated, causing the blade blaze to teleport directly behind the One-Eyed Shark King.

SPLAT!

The blade fell, and to the One-Eyed Shark King’s utter disbelief, it cleaved through his back, splitting him clean in two.

Even in death, the One-Eyed Shark King couldn’t understand how that blade blaze had been able to teleport.

And so, all the pursuers had fallen. Not a single one survived.
