Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

A Leviathan was far more powerful than an ordinary pillar of Thunder Light, for it was imbued with the abilities of a living creature—and a particularly powerful one at that: a flood dragon, one of the mightiest among beasts. It roared as it descended, like a divine dragon swooping in for the kill. Its terrifying lightning tore directly through space, leaving a massive rift in its wake.

SPURT!

Mad Lion Saint’s face went white as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and staggered backward, heavily injured. Although the Leviathan’s target was Su Han, it had to pass through the Mad Gang Domain. The domain’s 7,000-meter span was too vast to evade, so the Leviathan punctured it directly. This created a massive hole from which thick cracks spread outward, causing Mad Lion Saint to suffer a severe backlash.

”You can’t retreat now!” Saint You Heng acted swiftly, controlling the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda with his left hand and wielding the Nether Serpent Holy Chain in his right. Simultaneously, his Domain clashed with Mad Lion Saint’s, spreading the power of time to hold his opponent back with all his might. As long as Mad Lion Saint couldn’t escape, he would have to continuously endure the Heavenly Tribulation’s attacks. Even if it couldn’t kill him directly, it could wound him gravely. Then, when Saint You Heng made his move, he would have a high probability of slaying him.

”Demon Saint Hua Jing, aren’t you going to help me? Do you want our mission to fail?” Mad Lion Saint, only marginally stronger than Saint You Heng and now suppressed by the Heavenly Tribulation, could not escape and was forced to cry out for help.

Demon Saint Hua Jing’s expression was grave. He also knew the situation was turning against them. Su Han had summoned a Heavenly Tribulation, and it seemed the tables had turned; they were now at a disadvantage.

”Heavenly Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Sea Dragon Roar!” Demon Saint Hua Jing acted promptly, targeting Saint You Heng. As long as he could keep Saint You Heng occupied and allow Mad Lion Saint to escape the Heavenly Tribulation’s range, they would still hold an absolute advantage.

However, Saint You Heng was also very strong. Fighting with all his might, he managed to hold back Mad Lion Saint while simultaneously fending off Demon Saint Hua Jing’s attacks.

At that moment, the Leviathan descended and struck the Myriad Thunder Attraction Holy Formation fiercely. The entire Great Formation shook violently, its Formation Patterns dimmed, and it showed signs of imminent collapse. Although the Myriad Thunder Attraction Holy Formation was a Tribulation Transcendence Formation Method designed specifically for the Heavenly Tribulation, the intensity of this one was beyond Su Han’s expectations. It seemed the formation was struggling to hold.

Still, the formation managed to withstand this Leviathan, swiftly breaking it down into countless streams of Thunder Light and weakening the final impact on Su Han.

Gritting his teeth, his black hair whipping about, Su Han operated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art at full power, devouring the majestic, sea-like Thunder Light. His Sacred Body glowed, and his Great Luo Golden Bones shone brilliantly, rich with divine essence. Combined with his flesh and blood, already refined through Marrow Cleansing, he was able to endure even more of the lightning. An ordinary Martial Artist would not even dream of Tempering Body with Thunder; they likely couldn’t even withstand the Thunder Light and would be blasted to smithereens.

Su Han withstood the third Leviathan, but blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. His face was pale, and excruciating pain wracked his internal organs, leaving him in agony.

Su Han’s heart grew heavy. This Heavenly Tribulation is beyond my expectations. I hope everything goes smoothly! He felt he had underestimated it, thinking this one would only be slightly stronger than the last. He never expected it to be so much more formidable.

But I will not give up! Come on, let the tribulation rage even more fiercely! With his Defying Heavenly Demon Will surging and his Invincible Tao Xin sustaining him, Su Han would neither bow his head nor flee the battle.

CRACK!

The fourth bolt of lightning appeared, once again in the shape of a Leviathan. It was larger than the last, a full kilometer long and ten meters thick. It even had a single horn on its head and a pair of claws on its belly, resembling a true flood dragon. As the Leviathan struck, it once again penetrated Mad Lion Saint’s Mad Gang Domain. He coughed up three mouthfuls of blood, his Aura fading rapidly. This Leviathan was a creation of the Heavenly Tribulation—it could penetrate space, tear metal asunder, and destroy everything. It was terrifying beyond compare. If it had been just the Leviathan, Mad Lion Saint would have been able to withstand it with his strength. However, with Saint You Heng obstructing him, he couldn’t unleash his full power and was left to be wounded in frustration.

This time, it wasn’t just Mad Lion Saint who was affected. Even Demon Saint Hua Jing, who had intervened, was struck by the lightning, leaving a palm-sized patch of charred flesh on his body. Although the injury wasn’t severe, it was not a good omen.

”This Heavenly Tribulation is so strong! It’s even more terrifying than the one I witnessed back then!” Demon Saint Hua Jing’s expression was solemn. The power of this tribulation had clearly taken him by surprise as well.

After penetrating the Mad Gang Domain, the Leviathan violently collided with the Myriad Thunder Attraction Holy Formation. This time, the formation sustained hundreds of cracks and teetered on the brink, looking as if it could shatter at any moment. The Thunder Light that Su Han absorbed also intensified his pain severalfold. His entire body was wracked with uncontrollable convulsions, and it took him a long while to recover.

Su Han gazed solemnly at the Myriad Thunder Attraction Holy Formation, a sense of shock in his heart. This Holy Formation can withstand one more attack at most. He and Master Gong Ming had calculated that the formation should withstand at least eight bolts of lightning, but now it seemed it would collapse on the fifth.

BOOM!

The fifth bolt of lightning appeared almost instantly. It too was a Leviathan, but it was three times stronger than the last, measuring a full three kilometers in size. The sight of it made everyone’s expression change dramatically. Mad Lion Saint’s Mad Gang Domain was the first to give way, shattering into pieces as he was sent flying backward, grievously wounded. Although Demon Saint Hua Jing did not intervene this time, he was too close and was also struck by the lightning. He was sent flying, large patches of his body charred black and emitting a burnt smell.

Before this three-kilometer Leviathan, even the Myriad Thunder Attraction Holy Formation could not withstand the assault and instantly shattered. The City Protection Formation disintegrated along with it, rendered completely useless.

”Holy Thunder Golden Wheel!”

Watching the rapidly approaching Leviathan, Su Han’s pupils shrank. But he felt no fear, nor did he choose to flee. Instead, he quickly summoned the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel. Using the Secret of the Soldier Character, he transformed it into a golden wheel that spun at high speed, slicing toward the Leviathan. Though powerful, Su Han could not unleash its true might. It only managed to weaken the Leviathan’s power, failing to slice it in two.

The remainder of the Leviathan, still imbued with immense destructive power, crashed down upon Su Han.

In the next instant, Su Han’s figure was engulfed by lightning. The Leviathan slammed him out of the sky, smashing him violently into the ground below. Instantly, nearly half of Cang City was submerged in a Thunder Sea. All the buildings were reduced to dust, and countless citizens were pulverized in the blast. The ground was scarred and devastated—a complete wasteland filled with blinding crimson.

The scene was like the coming of the apocalypse, an omen of total annihilation.

At this moment, the attention of Mad Lion Saint, Saint You Heng, and the others was fixed on Su Han.

Was he alive, or was he dead?
