Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Killing Yan Liu with a Single Palm

What? Staring at the calm, sneering Su Han, Yan Liu turned pale with shock and disbelief.

He never expected to be discovered. Why isn’t he running? He’s waiting for me. Does he want to turn the tables and kill me?

Yan Liu found the thought ludicrous, but he couldn’t laugh when he saw the Supreme Thunder Pearl in Su Han’s hand.

Su Han had already activated the Supreme Thunder Pearl. Strands of Thunder Light flickered into existence like a dense spiderweb, and the terrifying Supreme might overwhelmed Yan Liu, making his heart feel as if it were about to leap from his throat.

A Supreme Treasure! Su Han actually has a Supreme Treasure. Elder Leiming must have given it to him. Damn it! I underestimated him. I shouldn’t have tried to save my Great Annihilation Green Astral Charm. I should have listened to my master and gone all out from the start for a one-hit kill.

The sight of the Supreme Thunder Pearl made Yan Liu’s mouth go dry and filled him with terror. Without a shred of hesitation, he turned to flee.

But Su Han, who had deliberately lured him in close using the Breath-Concealing Formation, wasn’t about to let him escape so easily.

He unleashed the full power of the Supreme Thunder Pearl. Violent Thunderbolts erupted with a deafening roar, like thunder rolling through a storm. The sound reverberated through the skies, carrying a rich aura of divine punishment that made all living things tremble.

The Thunderbolts in the sky rapidly coalesced into a gigantic, 3,000-meter hand of lightning. It descended upon Yan Liu like divine retribution, crushing the air with a deafening rumble.

This palm strike contained Elder Leiming’s full power, equivalent to a blow from a martial artist at the Third Layer of the Supreme Realm. Its might was terrifying, compressing space until countless fissures appeared, as if the very fabric of reality were about to collapse into nothingness.

It’s over!

Yan Liu’s face turned deathly pale, and he was gripped by absolute terror. He had been fooled by Su Han’s Breath-Concealing Formation, believing his stealth to be flawless. Now he was too close to Su Han to evade the colossal hand of lightning.Although he had the Great Annihilation Green Astral Charm, the hand of lightning was already upon him. He had no time to take out the charm and activate it.

”Heaven and Earth Physique!”

In this life-or-death moment, Yan Liu could only summon his strongest Physique, hoping to withstand the blow and survive.

Once one breaks through to the Phenomenon Realm, they can integrate their Spiritual Energy, spiritual power, and Phenomenon into one, forming a Heaven and Earth Physique. Everyone’s strengths and methods are different, so the Heaven and Earth Physique they develop is also unique.

Once formed, the Heaven and Earth Physique was not bound by the physical body, allowing it to be elusive and untraceable. It possessed immense strength and transcendent power, free to come and go as it pleased. It was virtually a manifestation of one’s life essence.

A rich stellar light burst forth from Yan Liu’s body as a shadow surged upwards from his head. It was colossal and majestic, standing tall like an immortal deity. The shadow resembled Yan Liu. It was dressed in a Daoist robe depicting the sun, moon, and stars, and wore a Seven Stars Circlet. The figure exuded a majestic, commanding presence as if ruling over all. Beneath it was a lotus pedestal with three blooming petals, representing Yan Liu’s power at the Third Layer of the Physique Realm.

This Heaven and Earth Physique was like a Star Lord who commanded the sun, moon, and stars, or a Bodhisattva with an aura of majesty yet compassion, inspiring awe and an irresistible urge to prostrate in worship.

BOOM!

The hand of lightning came crashing down, colliding with Yan Liu’s Heaven and Earth Physique. From afar, it looked like a cosmic hand locked in a life-or-death duel with a Star Sky Divine Monarch.

A deafening roar shook the heavens as the surrounding space fractured and collapsed. A vast expanse of inky, profound Void opened up, like a silent abyss capable of devouring all things and leading to total annihilation. The dense mountain forest was wracked with explosions. Peak after peak crumbled, tree after tree was reduced to dust, and countless demonic beasts exploded from the shockwaves, their blood and gore painting the sky.

This blow was cataclysmic, a force of utter destruction that obliterated everything in its path.

Su Han had activated not only his Dragon Phoenix Protection and Adorned with Stars and Moon techniques but also the Defensive Array on his small cloudship. Moreover, he had retreated at the first possible moment, so the impact on him was minimal. Even so, Su Han felt like a small boat tossed about in a tsunami, in constant danger of capsizing. The terrifying shockwaves swept over him, making his bones creak under the almost unbearable pressure.

If even Su Han was in such a state, one could only imagine how much worse it was for Yan Liu, who took the full force of the colossal lightning palm.

Yan Liu’s towering and majestic Heaven and Earth Physique barely lasted a moment under the lightning palm. It cracked violently, fissures spreading across its surface like a porcelain doll about to shatter.

BOOM!

Finally, the Heaven and Earth Physique could no longer hold. Struck by the colossal lightning palm, it exploded. The powerful blast of energy destroyed everything in the vicinity, and Yan Liu suffered a severe backlash. He was sent flying, coughing up blood, his aura plummeting to a dangerous low, like a candle flame flickering in the wind.

The colossal lightning palm continued its relentless descent, pressing down on Yan Liu like the weight of Mount Tai.

”No!”

Horror filled Yan Liu’s face, his eyes brimming with a desperate will to live. He frantically summoned what little Spiritual Energy he had left for a final, desperate struggle. I don’t want to die! I have a great career and a bright future ahead of me! How can I die here?

But no matter how much he feared, no matter how hard he struggled, the colossal lightning palm descended decisively, smashing down upon him.

This palm strike was like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito. The difference in power was simply on another level.

Yan Liu’s figure was swiftly engulfed by the Thunder Light. Then, the colossal lightning palm slammed down into the dense mountain forest. In an instant, the earth trembled for a thousand miles. The terrifying Thunderbolts transformed into a Thunder Sea that completely obliterated the vast, dense forest, turning it into scorched earth.

A Supreme-level strike that could destroy the heavens and sunder the earth was no exaggeration.

When the Thunder Light finally faded, the dense forest was gone. In its place was nothing but pitch-black, scorched earth. The plants, beasts, and even the mountains had all vanished. And along with them, Yan Liu had also disappeared. His body had been blasted into a fine mist of blood by the palm, leaving not even a scrap behind. As for his soul, it had likely been obliterated by the lightning as well.

Yan Liu, an Outer Sect Elder of the Seven Stars Sect at the Third Layer of the Physique Realm, was dead.

Qin Wushuang was still waiting, hoping Yan Liu would succeed in killing Su Han and bring back his head to appease the spirits of his children. He never would have imagined that Yan Liu’s mission was doomed from the start and that he would be killed by Su Han before even reaching Qingmo City.

Qin Wushuang had underestimated Su Han’s ruthlessness. Others might not dare to retaliate, but Su Han had no such qualms.

WHOOSH!

Su Han steered the small cloudship over the scorched earth. After a brief search, he found a Storage Ring. It was Yan Liu’s Storage Ring—his spoils of war.

Someone’s coming! It must be a nearby expert attracted by the commotion. Su Han’s expression changed as he sensed an unfamiliar yet powerful aura rapidly approaching.

Not wanting to reveal himself, Su Han immediately drove the small cloudship with all his might, transforming into a streak of light that vanished from the area.

Although the encounter had cost him the Supreme Thunder Pearl, killing Yan Liu and thwarting Qin Wushuang’s plot made it a worthy trade.
