Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 491: Chapter 491: The Battle for Revenge

Su Han’s Thousand Changes and Transformations was a Divine Method. Though it had yet to reach Great Accomplishment, it was still capable of deception on a scale that could fool the heavens. Therefore, Qin Wushuang never imagined that the familiar disciple before him had already been replaced. He was so caught off guard that when Su Han activated the Eight Extremes Star Array, he failed to react for a crucial moment.

WHOOSH!

Eighteen Heavenly Evolving Saint Runes blazed to life, one after another. They formed a bagua pattern that enveloped the entire Unparalleled Hall. Simultaneously, over a hundred fragments of Holy Patterns ignited like a sky full of stars, spreading throughout the area and forming an inverted bowl that sealed the palace completely.

”What is this?” Qin Wushuang was momentarily stunned, shocked by the sudden appearance of the Eight Extremes Star Array.

But Su Han did not act unless it was with his full might. He had intentionally used Qin Tian’s identity to lower Qin Wushuang’s guard, using their conversation to wear down his Heart Spirit. At the moment Qin Wushuang’s Heart Spirit was at its weakest, he unleashed his fatal attack.

”Holy Thunder Golden Wheel!”

Against Qin Wushuang, Su Han chose not to use his familiar Nine Palace Golden Pagoda. Instead, he attacked with Gold Ingot’s Holy Thunder Golden Wheel. After all, the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda possessed only the power of suppression and Sealing Force, whereas the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel was a purely offensive Holy Artifact. Su Han intended to land a Thunderbolt Strike. Even if it didn’t kill Qin Wushuang in one blow, it had to wound him severely.

”Not good!”

Although he had lost the initiative, Qin Wushuang was still a Supreme Realm powerhouse forged through countless life-or-death battles. He reacted instinctively, unleashing a torrential surge of Spiritual Energy that converged before him into a raging storm. But the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel was a purely offensive Holy Artifact. Even though Su Han couldn’t unleash its full power, it was far more than Qin Wushuang, now stripped of his Domain, could ever hope to withstand.

The Holy Thunder Golden Wheel sliced through the storm and bit deep into Qin Wushuang’s body.

SPURT!

Blood flew as Qin Wushuang was sent soaring backward. He crashed into a wall, smashing a large, human-shaped crater into the stone.

The strike didn’t kill him, but his defensive robes were shredded, revealing a gruesome wound on his chest so deep that bone was visible. It had nearly cleaved him in two. Severely injured in a single strike—Su Han could accept this result. With the Eight Extremes Star Array active, Qin Wushuang couldn’t escape the Unparalleled Hall, nor could he use Teleportation or his Domain. He was now a tiger without fangs or claws, his threat massively reduced.

”You’re not Qin Tian. Who are you?” As a Supreme Realm powerhouse, Qin Wushuang possessed robust vitality. He quickly pulled himself from the wall, shoved a Healing Pill into his mouth, and stared intently at Su Han.

Now that the ploy was revealed, Su Han no longer bothered with the disguise and reverted to his original appearance.

”Su Han!”

Seeing Su Han’s real face, Qin Wushuang was thunderstruck. He never could have imagined that Su Han would dare to infiltrate the Heavenly Demon Cult to assassinate him. This was the stronghold of figures like Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign and Leng Rufeng. If Su Han was discovered here, only death awaited him. Moreover, his strength was astonishing. Qin Wushuang knew he had found great opportunities in the East Sea Dragon Palace Ruins and progressed rapidly, but he should have only reached the early Heavenly King Realm at best. When had he broken through to the Heavenly King Realm Ninth Level?

In the last half a year, Qin Wushuang himself had only broken through a single minor bottleneck, advancing from the Supreme Realm Third Layer to the Fourth. Su Han’s rate of growth, by contrast, was simply terrifying.

”Qin Wushuang, you old dog,” Su Han sneered, his gaze cold and radiating killing intent. ”Today, we settle all our debts, new and old.”

From the Great Crown Prince to the Empress, from the Tianqing Dynasty to the Seven Stars Sect, the enmity between Su Han and the Qin Family had never ceased. Now, all his other enemies had been vanquished, leaving only Qin Wushuang. Before, Su Han lacked the power to take revenge. But today, he stood before his foe, possessing not just the strength but the perfect opportunity to claim his vengeance.

Qin Wushuang must die today!

”You little beast! You killed my children! I have longed to eat your flesh and drink your blood!” Qin Wushuang’s eyes were bloodshot with rage as he stared at Su Han, his gaze filled with ice-cold killing intent. ”Since you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep today, I’ll take your pathetic life as an offering to my family!”

He had always wanted to kill Su Han, even betraying the Seven Stars Sect for the chance. Yet, his wish had never been granted. Today, Su Han had come to him, presenting the opportunity for revenge he so desperately craved. Although Su Han possessed a Holy Artifact, Qin Wushuang was confident in his own strength and refused to believe this battle was already lost.

”Physique Fusion!”

Seeing that further words were pointless, Su Han directly manifested his Demonic Emperor Physique and activated Physique Fusion. He donned the Ghostly Face Mask, and his entire aura shifted, becoming dark, chillingly aloof, and tyrannical. He resembled a young Demonic Emperor, an image that struck fear into the heart.

Great Majestic Demon King, lend me your power! Su Han called out in his mind. Instantly, searing Black Blade demonic energy poured from the Black Blade into his body, plunging him into a Demonized State.

His body swelled to four meters in height, his skin turning a mottled black and red. Pitch-black Demonic Horns sprouted from his head, fan-like Demonic Wings unfurled from his back, and a long Demonic Tail swayed behind him. In this form, Su Han truly resembled an Evil Demon.

Qin Wushuang was the final flaw in his Heart Demon. Today, Su Han would go all out and fight to the death to kill him, completely eradicating this inner demon and finally laying the past to rest.

In his strongest state, Su Han’s power was now comparable to a warrior at the Supreme Realm First Layer. Meanwhile, Qin Wushuang was trapped by the Eight Extremes Star Array, unable to use his Domain or Teleportation. Escape was nearly impossible. Worse, he was severely wounded by the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel, and his power had dropped drastically, leaving him even slightly weaker than Su Han.

But he neither retreated nor begged for mercy. He had longed to kill Su Han for ages. While Qin Wushuang was merely one facet of Su Han’s Heart Demon, Su Han was Qin Wushuang’s entire Heart Demon.

In today’s battle, there is no room for retreat. It is either your death or mine!

WHOOSH!

With a flick of his wrist, the Heavenly Gang Sword appeared in Qin Wushuang’s grasp. A wild hurricane instantly erupted around him, shrouding him in wind as if he were possessed by a storm god.

He could feel his Domain being suppressed and all Spatial Force sealed. But he was, after all, a Supreme Realm expert. Even without his Domain and spatial abilities, he was far superior to any ordinary Heavenly King Realm Martial Artist. He was confident he would be the one to claim ultimate victory!

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

Seizing the initiative, Su Han gripped his Black Blade and charged toward Qin Wushuang. Taiyi Golden Thunder and Purple Lightning Yin Thunder intertwined as Bloodthirsty Demonic Flame and Soul Devouring Demon Mist erupted around his weapon. These energies combined into a massive, three-hundred-meter-long blade beam of lightning and fire. Fueled by the conviction of vengeance, it slashed ferociously at Qin Wushuang.

”Die, you little beast!”

Qin Wushuang’s wounds had already stopped bleeding. He pushed his own power to its absolute limit, gripping the Heavenly Gang Sword and slashing out to meet the attack.

The battle for revenge erupted instantly.
