Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Inside the Prison Divine Palace, a grayish-black light enveloped the entire hall. The space resembled King Yama’s Palace, filled with a grim, terrifying atmosphere heavy with the air of death.

The green-faced, tusked Demon God corresponding to the Death Monarch King Body had now completely awakened.

In addition, two faint divine glows were blossoming. Su Han looked over and saw that one was the Storm Goddess and the other was the Qingluan Divine Beast. These were evidently the Demon Gods corresponding to the Storm Monarch Body and the Qingluan Spirit Body.

However, these two Demon Gods would not awaken for more than ten days. For now, Su Han had to face the Netherworld Demon God.

”A mere human, daring to dictate my life and death? If I kill you, I will live!”

The Netherworld Demon God had already figured out the rules within the Prison Divine Palace. At this moment, his gray eyes stared fixedly at Su Han. With a wave of his hand, a dense cloud of Death Qi formed a whirlwind and shot straight toward him.

Life force and Death Qi are two utterly opposing energies. Every living being has life force. Those brimming with it are healthy, while those with weak life force grow sickly. If Death Qi appears, death is not far off.

For any living creature, Death Qi is the most loathsome of existences. The Netherworld Demon God, by using Death Qi as its energy, was a powerful counter to all living beings.

In a real battle, even against an opponent of the same realm, the suppressive effect of Death Qi meant Su Han might not have been able to defeat the Netherworld Demon God. But this was the Prison Divine Palace. Here, Su Han was not in a body of flesh and blood, but merely a consciousness entity.

Therefore, faced with the Netherworld Demon God’s Death Qi attack, Su Han swiftly countered, using the Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi to defend himself.

”Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!”

”Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!”

”Thunderous Eight Trigrams!”

Su Han now possessed many Origin Techniques and Divine Methods, none of which were weaker than the Netherworld Demon God’s. Furthermore, he had even manifested the Defying Heavenly Demon Will. At this moment, his body surged with Demonic Qi as he relentlessly attacked, forcing the Netherworld Demon God into a steady retreat.

”Hmph! So stubborn. In that case, let me show you my invincible technique!”

The Netherworld Demon God’s expression turned ugly. His eyes flickered with a cold light as he swiftly made his move.

”With my soul, I communicate with the Netherworld! I curse you with weakened power: Cursing Power Technique!”

The Netherworld Demon God attacked instantly. An arcane power materialized from the void and landed on Su Han. Immediately, he felt his limbs go limp, drained of all strength as if struck by a severe illness.

What is this?

Su Han’s eyes revealed his shock. He had sensed something but hadn’t been able to detect the Netherworld Demon God’s method. Moreover, he was currently employing his strongest defense, yet it had been completely useless.

”With my soul, I communicate with the Netherworld! I curse your spirit into chaos: Cursing Spirit Technique!”

The Netherworld Demon God struck again. This time, Su Han pushed his Nine Heavens Eye to its limit and finally saw a strand of ominous energy fly out from the void, pierce through his strongest defense, and enter his body.

This strand of ominous energy was very special. Neither his strongest defense, his Physical Strength, nor his Divine Sense Barrier could stop it, as if it existed in another dimension entirely.

Almost immediately, Su Han felt a sudden chill. It was as if an invisible hand was stirring his Sea of Consciousness, throwing his Divine Sense into utter chaos and causing his head to feel ready to split apart.

I am a demon, destined to defy the heavens and control my own fate!

At the critical moment, the Defying Heavenly Demon Will erupted, saving Su Han’s life. It allowed him to break free from the mental chaos just long enough to dodge the Netherworld Demon God’s lethal strike.

”Jie Character Secret!”

At the same time, Su Han’s eyes lit up. He had been quietly trying to activate the Jie Character Secret, and this time, favored by the goddess of luck, it triggered.

The tenfold increase in Combat Power caused Su Han’s aura to surge dramatically. He looked at the Netherworld Demon God, who was now within arm’s reach. Clenching his left hand into a fist, he unleashed the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist.

Brilliant golden light illuminated the entire Prison Divine Palace. A Golden Emperor Phantom coalesced behind Su Han, looking as tangible and substantial as a real entity, emanating an overwhelming pressure that covered the sky.

Under the enhancement of tenfold Combat Power, Su Han’s punch transformed into a hundred-meter-wide Golden Fist Radiance. It resembled a golden sun crossing the sky as it struck the Netherworld Demon God with precision.

Everything in the world exists in a cycle of creation and suppression. Death Qi suppresses life force, but vigorous Yang energy suppresses Death Qi.

The Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist was the ultimate expression of hardness and Yang. A single punch directly obliterated the Netherworld Demon God.

”Devouring Heaven Demonic Art!”

With the Netherworld Demon God’s death, all of Su Han’s discomfort vanished, and he returned to normal. He immediately executed the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, devouring and refining the fallen Demon God.

A vast amount of memories flowed into Su Han’s Sea of Consciousness, threatening to burst his head. However, Su Han had experienced this several times before and knew how to cope.

After a long while, Su Han had absorbed the memories and heritage of the Netherworld Demon God and learned of a place called the Netherworld.

It was the final resting place for the dead, containing both the Underworld and eighteen layers of Hell. The Netherworld Demon God was merely one of its many powerful beings.

”Cursing Killing Nether Technique!”

Within the Netherworld Demon God’s memories, Su Han obtained his most powerful Divine Method.

The Cursing Killing Nether Technique was unique. It was not a conventional means of attack but rather a method of weakening and killing enemies through curses.

The Cursing Killing Nether Technique recorded a total of one hundred and eight curses, including the Cursing Power Technique and Cursing Spirit Technique that the Netherworld Demon God had used.

However, the Cursing Killing Nether Technique was so special that not just anyone could cultivate it. The key was to use one’s soul to communicate with the Netherworld and draw out its ominous energy.

The Netherworld was a special world, not located within the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm, making it extremely difficult to contact.

Fortunately, Su Han had obtained the Origin Source of the Death Monarch King Body, and his own soul had acquired some of its properties. Coupled with the Netherworld Demon God’s memories, he soon sensed a world heavy with Death Qi and boundless darkness.

However, he could only sense it; he could not see the actual landscape within the Netherworld. Following the instructions for the Cursing Killing Nether Technique, he tentatively executed it once.

Instantly, a strand of ominous energy as thin as a hair was drawn by Su Han from the Netherworld. It coiled around his finger like a miniature sprite.

Unfortunately, there was no target here for Su Han to test it on. But having experienced the Cursing Power Technique and Cursing Spirit Technique firsthand, he already knew how potent the Cursing Killing Nether Technique was.

The Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method can bind others, while the Cursing Killing Nether Technique can weaken them. If I combine these two, perhaps I can greatly reduce an enemy’s strength, achieving an effect similar to the Nine Palaces Bagua Formation!

Su Han’s imagination ran wild, quickly making the connection to the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method.

However, combining them would not be so easy. One was a Divine Method and the other a Nether Technique. One involved the way of the Formation Pattern, while the other used the ominous energy of the Netherworld.

But now that he had the idea, Su Han would continue to try. If he succeeded, it would become another of his powerful trump cards.

His power had greatly increased, and he had also acquired the Cursing Killing Nether Technique. Although this period of cultivation was short, his gains were tremendous.

However, Su Han now faced a new dilemma.

Because he had devoured both the Storm Monarch Body and the Qingluan Spirit Body on the same day, the Storm Goddess and the Qingluan Divine Beast within the Prison Divine Palace would awaken on the same day.

The next time he entered, Su Han would have to face the unprecedented challenge of two Demon Gods at once.
