Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

THUMP!

Xiao Tian’s head slid from his neck and landed heavily on the ground, his face still twisted with ferocity and resentment. He hailed from the Xiao Family and possessed the Storm Monarch Body, revered as a prodigy since childhood. Even if he was not an Imperial Son of the Xiao Family, he was not someone an average person could compare to. He had come to the East Sea Dragon Palace Ruins to compete for opportunities, to break through and grow stronger, yet he never expected to perish in this outer region. His heart swelled with hatred and unwillingness, but he was out of chances.

WHOOSH!

Su Han waved his hand, collecting Xiao Tian’s corpse into the Bronze Ring. The Storm Monarch Body was one of the Three Thousand Physiques, an opportunity he would not miss.

After killing Xiao Tian, Su Han felt not a hint of remorse. The Xiao Family is indeed very powerful, but I will not back down. Life and death are insignificant. If you refuse to submit, then fight!

Jing Yun witnessed the entire process of Xiao Tian’s death, his pupils shrinking as his heart filled with shock.

Xiao Tian is dead? He was a prodigy of the Xiao Family; who would dare kill him so readily? This human killed Xiao Tian without a moment’s hesitation. Isn’t he afraid of the Xiao Family’s retaliation? Or has he decided to throw all caution to the wind? This person is too strange. Not only did he climb the peak, but he also entered the blood pool. Right now, I’m seriously injured and no match for him. Of the Thirty-six Stratagems, retreat is the best option! With Xiao Tian dead, I have to face Su Han and his doppelganger alone. It would be nothing if I were at my peak, but now I’m gravely injured. Dealing with one Su Han is already difficult, let alone two. As long as I recover from my injuries, I can deal with Su Han later, and his capture will be effortless. The True Dragon Essence Blood, the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, and everything he has… it will all be mine!

With this in mind, Jing Yun’s huge tail thrashed as he quickly fled down the mountain.

”You can’t escape!” Su Han’s eyes narrowed, a cold light flashing within them. Having already killed Xiao Tian, he wouldn’t mind killing Jing Yun as well. Jing Yun was not only powerful but also a prodigy of an Imperial Clan. If he escaped, he would become a great threat in the future.

BOOM!

Su Han activated the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda again. It enlarged to twenty meters, its Qian Palace wide open, unleashing an intense oppressive force as it smashed down toward Jing Yun. The twenty-meter-tall pagoda was minuscule compared to Jing Yun’s three-hundred-meter body, but it was a Holy Artifact. With the first palace activated, a mountainous weight bore down on him.

Jing Yun staggered and fell, unable to continue fleeing. The Jing Tribe possessed a trace of the Dragon Clan Bloodline, and their Physical Bodies were strong, so he was not completely suppressed by the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda just yet.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Su Han rapidly closed the distance. He clenched his left fist, and a Golden Fist Radiance tore through the sky toward Jing Yun’s head.

”Origin Technique: Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!”

”Origin Technique: Heavier than Tai Mount!”

At the same time, Su Han’s doppelganger unleashed its Origin Technique, forming a hundred-meter gravitational field that fell upon Jing Yun, making his body extremely heavy and even harder to break free from.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Power: Whale Swallow Dragon Suction!”

Having seen Xiao Tian’s fate, Jing Yun dared not allow himself to be put at a disadvantage. He quickly deployed his Divine Power Technique. His enormous mouth opened and inhaled forcefully, astonishingly swallowing both the magnetic and gravitational forces and causing the field to vanish. Then, his massive body surged with blue light, undulating like ocean waves, and he actually managed to prop up the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda.

”Earth Rank High Level Martial Technique: Boundless Sea!”

Jing Yun unleashed another Earth Rank High Level Martial Technique. Instantly, ripples danced across the void, coalescing into an illusory vast sea that crashed toward Su Han, threatening to submerge him forever in its depths.

”Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!”

Su Han reacted swiftly, unleashing Samadhi True Fire and Triple Chilling Nether Qi to fend off the attack. He then gripped the Black Blade, which was suffused with intertwined thunder and fire, and radiated a terrifying aura of destruction as he slashed at Jing Yun.

Su Han attacked with his full might, formidable and seemingly invincible. However, Jing Yun still had some fight left in him. He struggled frantically, and despite being at a disadvantage, he was not critically wounded or downed. His fierce struggle had already attracted many Dragon Qi Demon Beasts. If the fight dragged on any longer, he might manage to escape in the ensuing chaos.

Su Han had no intention of letting Jing Yun go. He swiftly employed a Divine Method, activating the Mountain God Seal within his Dantian to summon the Mountain Soul.

BOOM!

The Dragon Blood Mountain suddenly trembled. A blood-red dragon shadow, three thousand meters in size and vivid as life itself, burst forth. A terrifying Dragon’s Might swept through the heavens like a tempest. This was the Mountain Soul of Dragon Blood Mountain. Having been so deeply infused with Dragon Blood, it had taken the form of a blood dragon with incredibly fearsome power.

”What is this?” Jing Yun stared, dumbfounded and pale with horror, at the blood dragon Mountain Soul.

Under Su Han’s control, the soul charged directly at Jing Yun. The strike was immensely powerful, absolutely terrifying.

CRACK!

Blue light erupted from Jing Yun’s body, condensing into the character for ”Jing”—a life-saving measure similar to Xiao Tian’s. But the blood dragon Mountain Soul was too strong. The blue-light character was instantly riddled with cracks, on the verge of shattering.

Regrettably, after that single strike, the blood dragon Mountain Soul returned to Dragon Blood Mountain. After all, Su Han’s own strength was limited. Simply summoning the Mountain Soul for that supreme blow had been enough to cause his Mountain God Seal to grow dim.

”You can’t possibly be a mere Loose Cultivator. Who are you, really?” Jing Yun gasped, staring at the nearly shattered blue-light character as he fixed Su Han with a steely gaze. Without a significant background or heritage, it was impossible to possess such means. Every technique Su Han wielded was superb. Jing Yun refused to believe Su Han was without a significant background.

”Go ask in Hell!”

Su Han snorted. He had his doppelganger use the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda to keep Jing Yun pinned down while his original body employed the Jie Character Secret, attempting to activate ten times his Combat Power.

Su Han quickly learned the meaning of ”trigger probability” as he performed the technique seven or eight times with no result. Meanwhile, Jing Yun defended himself with the blue-light ”Jing” character, struggling mightily as he attempted to flee down the mountain. In the distance, a large number of Dragon Qi Demon Beasts, drawn by the commotion, were closing in fast.

Is it really going to end in failure?

Got it!

At that moment, Su Han’s eyes lit up. On his ninth attempt with the Jie Character Secret, he finally triggered the tenfold Combat Power. Instantly, his aura soared tenfold, becoming unparalleled.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Without hesitation, Su Han unleashed his mightiest technique. This time, enhanced by tenfold Combat Power, the strike was equivalent to a full-force blow from a Heavenly King Realm expert.

BOOM!

The Golden Fist Radiance exploded in size, like a golden Divine Spear piercing through the void and striking Jing Yun’s massive head directly.

The Fist Blaze penetrated his head, and the blue-light character for ”Jing” shattered completely. A gaping hole appeared, from which blood gushed like a fountain.

Tenfold Combat Power. One punch to slay Jing Yun.
