Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Counterkill

Primordial Qi encompasses all, possesses all, and can transform into anything. The first time Su Han unleashed it, he transformed it into a giant hand, and its power was a huge surprise.

The indestructible Black Gold Puppet was sent flying by a single palm strike, as if swatting a small chick, its previously unstoppable aura completely gone. He stared intently and saw that the surface of the Black Gold Puppet had caved in, appearing somewhat deformed. It was a testament to the terrifying power of the strike.

”What is this? How can it actually harm my Black Gold Puppet?” the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s shocked voice rang out, his eyes glued to the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique, utterly astounded. This Black Gold Puppet was forged from thousand-year-old earth gold. Not only was it incredibly hard, but it was also as heavy as a mountain. How could anyone in the Phenomenon Realm possibly withstand it?

However, Su Han paid him no mind. He controlled the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique and continued his assault on the Black Gold Puppet. His Great Capture Technique could transform into fists, palms, or claws. It was infinitely versatile and could harm not only the Physical Body but also one’s spiritual power.

”Earth Rank Intermediate Martial Technique: Demonic Splitting Fist!”

The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable controlled the Black Gold Puppet to execute the Martial Technique. A punch blasted the air apart with unparalleled force. Previously, Su Han could only defend against this punch with the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist. But now, the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique transformed into a hundred-meter-wide fist and met it head-on.

BOOM!

Predictably, the Black Gold Puppet was sent flying once again, completely unable to withstand the power of the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique.

”I don’t believe it! I can’t be defeated!”

The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s voice trembled slightly, his mentality wavering from the repeated defeats. He controlled the Black Gold Puppet and furiously attacked Su Han. Both its fists and legs were deadly weapons for close-quarters combat, and it also had a scorpion tail that whistled through the air like a hooked barb, attempting to bypass the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique and strike Su Han’s Original Body directly.

But Su Han was well aware that his Original Body was his weak point and naturally protected it.

”Break!”

The Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique seized the scorpion tail directly. With a fierce pull, the tail—forged from thousand-year-old earth gold—was actually torn off. The force of the rebound sent the Black Gold Puppet flying once again, smashing a new hole into the wall.

”Go!”

With a thought, Su Han fully controlled the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique, relentlessly striking the Black Gold Puppet. He could feel his energy draining rapidly. The Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique wouldn’t last much longer, so he had to end the fight quickly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The attacks from the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique rained down like a furious storm, repeatedly striking the Black Gold Puppet. The puppet was indeed tough; any creature of flesh and blood would have been blasted to pieces by now. But the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique was simply too powerful. At this moment, the Black Gold Puppet was like a punching bag, only able to receive blows, completely powerless to fight back.

Moreover, the Black Gold Puppet had a fatal weakness: it had no energy. Whether it was Spiritual Energy, Demonic Qi, or any other type of power, it had nothing. It relied solely on the toughness of its metal body for battle. Against weaker opponents, the Black Gold Puppet could indeed steamroll everything. But when facing stronger adversaries, it had no power to counterattack.

The Black Gold Puppet was battered back and forth, sent flying continuously through the air. More and more dents appeared on its body until it looked like a piece of junk hammered into scrap iron. It seemed the Black Gold Puppet would collapse before the Primordial Qi Great Capture Technique did.

This was an outcome the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable did not want to see, but he was powerless to change it.

”Damn it! If only I had a Physical Body of flesh and blood, I wouldn’t be suffering such a humiliating defeat!”

The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s heart sank. The Black Gold Puppet was on the verge of collapsing. If he couldn’t think of a way to break the stalemate soon, then once the Black Gold Puppet crumbled, his Remnant Soul would be like a fish in a barrel.

I can’t just sit here and wait for death! I have to take a gamble!

The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable hardened his heart and decided to risk it all. It was do or die.

SWISH!

A phantom-like black light suddenly shot out from the Black Gold Puppet. It moved with unbelievable speed, like a laser beam. The next moment, this ethereal black light appeared before Su Han, then merged into the space between his eyebrows and vanished.

”Little Han!” Lu Yunxian cried out in alarm, rushing over.

This was none other than the notorious Black Scorpion Poison Venerable. His Remnant Soul had burrowed into Su Han’s sea of consciousness. If Su Han was possessed, he would be truly dead.

「Meanwhile, inside Su Han’s sea of consciousness, the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s Remnant Soul had already forced its way in.」

His Remnant Soul was only one of the three souls and seven spirits, but he had been a Supreme Realm powerhouse. Even a single piece of his soul was far more than any ordinary Martial Artist could withstand. The Remnant Soul transformed into a sinister black scorpion. It was ferocious and malevolent, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws with extreme viciousness.

”Once I extinguish your Divine Sense, I will take your Holy Physique!”

The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable quickly began searching for Su Han’s Divine Sense. He believed that the power of his Remnant Soul was more than enough to deal with Su Han’s. After that, this Holy Physique would be his.

”Black Scorpion Poison Venerable, if you had remained hidden inside the Black Gold Puppet, dealing with you would have been quite difficult,” Su Han’s Divine Sense said, taking on his appearance with a mocking smile on his lips. ”But I never expected you to be so foolish as to dive into my sea of consciousness on your own.”

The Black Gold Puppet was extremely tough, and breaking through its shell would have been difficult. But without the puppet, the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s soul, however strong it once was, was still just a Remnant Soul with limited power. Furthermore, Su Han’s sea of consciousness not only contained his starry Divine Sense but also the properties of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art.

”With one thought, one becomes a demon, devouring all spirits!”

Su Han wasted no more words. Demonic Intent erupted from him, and all his starry Divine Sense rapidly converged, forming a Divine Sense Demon Sabre. This sabre was modeled after the Black Blade and condensed with the Demonic Might of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. As it slashed out, the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s expression changed drastically.

”This is no ordinary Demonic Technique! What in the world are you cultivating?”

Feeling the Demonic Might within the Divine Sense Demon Sabre, the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s face grew pale. He felt an immense suppression and struggled helplessly, unable to break free. He fought frantically, trying to escape and distance himself from the Divine Sense Demon Sabre. But since he had willingly delivered himself to death’s door, how could Su Han possibly let him leave?

The Divine Sense Demon Sabre slashed across the void, descending abruptly like the blade of a Demon Emperor. Even gods and demons would be slain by its might.

”No! I have been a dominant figure my entire life! How can I perish at the hands of a junior?” the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable roared in defiance, but it was futile.

SLICE!

The Divine Sense Demon Sabre cleaved through the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s Remnant Soul, splitting it in two. Then, with a shift of his Divine Sense, Su Han’s Devouring Power erupted, completely consuming and refining the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s Remnant Soul.

A tyrant of the Supreme Realm had thus completely perished.
