Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The Heavenly Tribulation still raged in the sky, indicating that the Tribulation Transcender was still alive. Everyone looked down in unison, searching for Su Han’s figure. Amid the ruins, a blood-soaked figure was struggling to its feet.

At this moment, Su Han’s appearance was truly wretched. There wasn’t a single piece of unscathed flesh on his body. Even his Great Accomplished Holy Body could not withstand the terrifying bombardment of the Leviathan. His body was charred, and the coagulated blood emitted a foul stench. The flesh and organs within him were shattered, and his Aura was so faint that it seemed he might collapse completely at any moment.

Yet, he had stood his ground, successfully blocking the fifth thunderbolt. This was a bolt that had severely injured even the Mad Lion Saint. An ordinary Martial Artist at the Supreme Realm would have been blasted into ash long ago.

However, with the Myriad Thunder Attraction Holy Formation now broken, Su Han’s condition had hit rock bottom. Four more thunderbolts were still to come, each more terrifying than the last. How could he possibly withstand them?

You’re lucky to have survived this long, but your luck ends here. The Heavenly Tribulation has at least nine bolts, and you’re already struggling with the fifth. I’m afraid one more will turn you to ash. Still, this is good. It doesn’t matter how you die. As long as you’re dead, my mission will be complete, and the clan leader will surely reward me handsomely!

Demon Saint Hua Jing was astonished by Su Han’s tenacity; he had somehow survived such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation. Having witnessed and personally experienced its power, he didn’t believe the severely injured and debilitated Su Han could withstand what was to come. In his view, the next thunderbolt would undoubtedly kill him.

”Su Han!” Saint You Heng furrowed his brows, noting the danger in Su Han’s current situation. A tribulation of this magnitude was simply not something Su Han could resist. The punishment of the Heavenly Dao was indeed as the rumors said: a brush with death with almost no chance of survival.

But Saint You Heng was helpless. The Heavenly Tribulation was not an enemy like the Mad Lion Saint; it could only be faced by Su Han alone. No one else could intervene. Not even a Great Emperor Realm expert could change the will of the Heavenly Dao.

The Mad Lion Saint was severely injured and coughing up mouthfuls of blood. His condition was terrible, yet seeing Su Han’s state put him in a good mood. As long as Su Han died, he was willing to accept any injury, no matter how grievous.

Master Gong Ming stood on the ground, his hands clenched tightly, but he was powerless to help. With even the Myriad Thunder Attraction Holy Formation shattered, there was nothing he could do to change the situation.

At this moment, some rejoiced while others worried, but Su Han felt neither sorrow nor joy. Only the will to defy the heavens and change his fate supported him!

No one can control my destiny. If the heavens want me dead, then I shall shatter the heavens!

”Secret of Healer!”

Su Han quickly deployed the Secret of Healer. Immediately, a mysterious energy coursed through his entire body, warming him as if he were basking in sunlight or soaking in a hot spring.

Before everyone’s eyes, Su Han’s wound-covered body healed at a visible rate, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye. However, the Secret of Healer could only heal his physical injuries. It could not restore his exhausted Demonic Qi and Divine Sense. Thus, his condition was still not what it was at his peak.

The miraculous nature of the Secret of Healer stunned the crowd. ”What kind of technique is this? It healed all his injuries instantly!” After all, Su Han’s injuries had been too severe; not even a Holy Medicine could have prompted such a swift recovery.

ROAR!

Above the sky, the sixth bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation descended. It was another Leviathan, still three thousand meters in size, but this one was exceptionally condensed with a metallic texture. It was stronger, if anything, than the fifth.

The terrifying Leviathan swooped down. Space tore apart like a fragile sheet of paper. The horrifying, destructive Thunder Light caused the entire Cang City to tremble.

The Mad Lion Saint’s Domain had already been breached, but he still couldn’t escape his fate. Struck by the Leviathan and an all-out attack from Saint You Heng, he was sent crashing into the ground. The impact broke four or five of his bones, making his injuries even more severe. If Saint You Heng had ignored Su Han to focus all his efforts on the Mad Lion Saint, he might have had a real chance to kill him. In Saint You Heng’s heart, however, Su Han was naturally more important, so most of his attention remained on him.

”Divine Power Technique: Blossoming with One Thought!”

Su Han executed the Divine Power Technique. Instantly, his Shore Flower Clone appeared and used Physique Fusion and Dual Black Holes, striving with all its might to devour the Leviathan.

BOOM!

Although the Shore Flower Clone possessed one hundred percent of the Original Body’s strength, the Leviathan was simply too powerful. The clone could not withstand it and was quickly blasted to smithereens.

However, the Shore Flower Clone blocked most of the Leviathan’s energy and even managed to devour a significant portion, channeling it back into Su Han’s Original Body. This allowed him to undergo Thunderbolt Tempering Body once more.

By sacrificing his Shore Flower Clone, Su Han successfully blocked the sixth Heavenly Tribulation bolt. This result left Demon Saint Hua Jing and the others utterly dumbfounded.

Soon, the seventh Heavenly Tribulation bolt appeared. It was another Leviathan, but this one had grown two long dragon whiskers that seemed capable of piercing time and space to shatter spatial barriers.

”Let’s see how you block this time!”

Demon Saint Hua Jing kept his distance, his gaze fixated on Su Han, hoping to witness him being blasted to smithereens with his own eyes.

The Mad Lion Saint, however, retreated desperately, trying to evade the blast. He knew that if he were injured again, he might truly die here. But Saint You Heng had been keeping an eye on him the whole time. Coupled with Su Han’s use of the Character Technique of Motion to deliberately draw the Heavenly Tribulation towards him, he had no chance of escape.

The Mad Lion Saint was severely injured once more. A bloody hole was blasted through his abdomen, gushing blood in a miserable sight. Restrained by Saint You Heng’s Nether Serpent Holy Chain, he felt utterly suffocated with indignation. He called out to Demon Saint Hua Jing, but having been caught in the crossfire once, the Demon Saint dared not approach the Heavenly Tribulation again. This left the Mad Lion Saint in an even more perilous situation.

When the seventh Thunder Light struck, Su Han exerted all his effort. Aided by the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe, his Origin Technique, he barely managed to withstand it. However, the effects of Tempering Body with Thunder were minimal. Under such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation, merely preserving one’s life was already extremely difficult, let alone Tempering Body with Thunder.

The eighth Heavenly Tribulation bolt followed swiftly. This time, the Mad Lion Saint was battered to within an inch of his life. He was relentlessly pursued by Saint You Heng, who cornered him within the tribulation’s range, causing him to curse loudly in frustration.

”Devouring Heaven Demonic Art!”

Facing the terrifying eighth Heavenly Tribulation bolt, Su Han held his breath and concentrated, unleashing his Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to its absolute limit. Ultimately, protected by two Holy Artifacts—the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda and the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel—he managed to endure the eighth bolt. He paid a heavy price, collapsing to the ground severely injured and temporarily unable to use the Secret of Healer to recover.

CRACK!

Finally, the ninth Heavenly Tribulation bolt appeared. It was the final one. A legendary figure emerged from the midst of the Heavenly Tribulation. Upon seeing this figure, everyone’s expression changed dramatically. They were utterly horrified.
