Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

King Yama’s Palace had lost another high-ranking member to Su Han’s hands, and if you counted the three Great Shadow Marshals who had died before, four Shadow Marshals had already perished because of Su Han.

Su Han removed the Storage Ring from the Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian’s finger and used his Divine Sense to detect the Qilin Undying Medicine within it swiftly.

The second Five Elements Immortality Medicine had been obtained, bringing Su Han a step closer to his goal.

”It’s time to leave!”

Su Han stored the Qilin Undying Medicine and the Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian’s corpse together into his Bronze Ring. He then used the Character Technique of Motion, transforming into a stream of light and charging out of the mountainous region, quickly distancing himself from the place.

”What, he actually came out alive. What about the Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian? Could it be that he obtained the Qilin Undying Medicine?”

Su Han couldn’t leave quietly, so he was soon discovered by the few Saints outside the Holy Formation.

They had initially thought that Su Han was overestimating his abilities and would die inside, but didn’t expect him to come out alive and escape directly. The only explanation was that he had already obtained the Qilin Undying Medicine.

”This is an opportunity given to me by heaven. I must obtain the Immortality Medicine!”

The Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian was powerful, and no one dared to seize from him. But Su Han only showed strength at the Second Layer of the Saint Realm, making him appear as an easy prey in others’ eyes, so soon several people pursued him.

However, Su Han burst forth with twice the Speed of Sound, moving unbelievably fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared beyond the horizon, thwarting the pursuers’ plans.

”Damn it, where did this guy pop out from? His speed is astonishingly fast; he didn’t run this fast before. Was he always pretending to be weak?”

The pursuers realized they couldn’t catch up, and thus they reluctantly returned. Since Su Han had fled, maybe the Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian was still alive; possibly they could find some leftovers, even if the Immortality Medicine was gone.

The destructive energy in the mountain gradually weakened and finally disappeared completely, allowing the fragmented mountainous region to reappear before everyone.

Gasp!

With just one glance, everyone gasped, their eyes filled with shock.

The heavens and earth had transformed into desolation; not a single thing remained on the earth, only charred and shattered fragments with large breaches spreading like they were evolving into an abyssal canyon.

Meanwhile, in the sky, the space had completely broken apart, exposing a pitch-black terrifying void. The violent energy gradually dissipated, yet it still posed a threat of death.

”Where’s Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian?”

Those remaining wanted to see the final result. However, the figure of the Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian had disappeared, leaving only a patch of crimson Holy Blood and a faint aura left behind by him.

”Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian has died? Was he killed by that young man just now?”

The crowd reached an unbelievable conclusion based on the Holy Blood and faint aura of the Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian.

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Who was Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian?

He was a formidable Great Saint Expert, one of the Ten Great Shadow Marshals of King Yama’s Palace, possessing the Sacred Body of Houtu as well as being an Array Master.

Previously, Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian had successfully captured the Qilin Undying Medicine and slew Buddha Great Saint among others, making him extremely fierce.

Such a powerful Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian had actually died, and at the hands of an unknown nobody. It was simply inconceivable!

No one dared to believe that Su Han had indeed slain the Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian. However, the Sword Saint with the Heart Sword had long fled, and apart from him, those who ventured into the mountains earlier had perished, leaving only Su Han who had rushed in at the last moment and escaped.

Besides him, there was no one else. But who was he?

For a moment, everyone speculated about Su Han’s identity.

Su Han had stayed with the Saint Squad for five or six days prior; though others didn’t understand him well, they were a bit familiar.

An unfamiliar young man, Second Layer of the Saint Realm—such were the impressions left by Su Han, but these impressions were far from associating him with the slaying of Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian and the seizure of Qilin Undying Medicine.

”Do you think that the Holy Formation’s backlash earlier was his handiwork?”

Someone suddenly recalled the backlash involving the Underworld Dragon on Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian. As Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian was an Array Master, how could his own arranged Holy Formation turn against the master with such a low-level error? The only explanation was someone intervened.

”Does that mean he is an Array Master even more skilled than Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian?”

If that’s the case, then it all makes sense. Otherwise, how could he, with merely Saint Realm Second Layer strength, kill Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian and seize the Qilin Undying Medicine?

”Wait a minute, I remember someone who seems very similar to him.”

One person suddenly spoke up, recalling something, and soon his eyes brightened.

”I remember now. There were reports before, saying someone attracted the Saintly Tribulation Thunder, successfully overcoming it and went to three brawls with Dugu Imperial Son, resulting in the deaths of Dugu Imperial Son and Chu Family Imperial Son, with even the Heavenly Strategy Princess of Bagua Imperial Palace falling.”

”The Bagua Imperial Palace is still searching for him. I didn’t expect him not only not to hide but instead come to the Seventh Region and snatch the Qilin Undying Medicine.”

”If my guess is correct, this individual should be none other than the recently rising infamous Black Demon!”

Black Demon!

Though the name had been heard of before, it didn’t have much fame. Aside from Bagua Imperial Palace searching, others barely paid attention.

But the person who just snatched the Qilin Undying Medicine was young, at Saint Realm Second Layer—you could only link him to Black Demon.

”Most likely, it is Black Demon—as someone who can attract the Saintly Tribulation Thunder and successfully overcome it, he clearly has demonic traits. It’s not impossible for him to manipulate the Holy Formation, kill Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian, and seize the Qilin Undying Medicine.”

A person nearby nodded, agreeing with this view since although various factions might harbor grand talents secretly, those as abnormal to this extent were extremely rare.

”The Blessed Land of Heavenly Medicine must have previously attracted this person; his goal is the same as ours, the Immortality Medicine. It seems the upcoming competition for the Immortality Medicine will become more intense!”

The person before sighed, recognizing that despite Su Han’s mere Saint Realm Second Layer status, his acuity, skill, and Innate qualities far exceed others, comparable to the monstrous talents ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List. How could they not regard him with apprehension!

”But it might not necessarily be a crisis. Though this individual is exceedingly talented, it’s not insurmountable. He has already provoked the Dugu Imperial Clan, Ancient Chu Family, and Bagua Imperial Palace, recently even offending King Yama’s Palace. As long as we spread the news, naturally there will be forces dealing with him.”

”In doing so, too, we can also draw away attention, increasing our probabilities for obtaining Immortality Medicine!”

The nearby person’s eyes lit up with brilliance, conjuring a smart idea.

...

[Black Demon killed Great Earth Spirit Saint Daxian and snatched the Qilin Undying Medicine!]

Quickly, this news spread through the Seventh Region, soon reaching other regions.

In no time, countless people were shaken. The name Black Demon echoed throughout the Blessed Land of Heavenly Medicine!
