Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Within the Prison Divine Palace, two unprecedented divine demons awoke simultaneously. At that moment, their divine light shone brilliantly, dispelling the darkness like a lamp in the night and illuminating the entire palace.

One figure resembled a goddess, yet she was incredibly ferocious. A howling gale followed her, bringing destructive calamity. This was the Storm Goddess, a being who had gained spiritual wisdom and become a deity after cultivating her storm-based original body.

The other figure radiated a cyan light, as dazzling as the rosy clouds of dawn, exuding elegance and perfection. This was a Qingluan, a special type of Divine Beast from the Phoenix Clan. Noble and powerful, its elegant form was sought after by countless living beings.

Both the Storm Goddess and the Qingluan Divine Beast had now awakened within the Prison Divine Palace. They soon learned of their predicament and the rules of the palace.

WHOOSH! Su Han’s consciousness manifested inside the palace. He immediately saw the Storm Goddess and the Qingluan Divine Beast, which corresponded to the Storm Monarch Body and the Qingluan Spirit Body, respectively.

”Kill!”

The Storm Goddess, inherently violent, attacked without hesitation upon seeing Su Han. She intended to obliterate him and escape this place. As the master of storms, she summoned howling winds that slashed toward him like tens of thousands of steel blades, aiming to tear him limb from limb.

”Strongest Defense!”

Facing two divine demons, Su Han dared not be the least bit careless. He promptly unleashed various Origin Techniques, forming them into an impenetrable barrier.

The storm struck the barrier, creating a series of metallic clangs, but failed to break through and injure him.

Both the Storm Goddess and the Qingluan Divine Beast, just like Su Han, were only at the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer. This severely limited their abilities, making it pure fantasy for either one of them to defeat Su Han alone.

The Qingluan also made its move. ”Phoenix Fire Meteor!” With a gentle wave of its beautiful wings, clusters of watermelon-sized fireballs whistled out like Heavenly Fire Meteors, charging straight for Su Han.

”Samadhi True Fire, break!”

Su Han quickly deployed his Samadhi True Fire. A tri-colored flame shot out, intercepting and neutralizing each fiery projectile.

Previously, Su Han might have been hard-pressed by the combined assault of two divine demons, but things were different now.

Although Su Han was just a consciousness, he could still use Divine Power Techniques. ”Divine Skill: Blossoming with One Thought!” A Black Netherworld Flower bloomed, and from it, a doppelganger emerged.

”You’ve actually learned this Divine Skill!”

Upon seeing the Shore Flower Clone, the Storm Goddess’s eyes filled with shock and deep-seated fear. She had clearly been terrified by this move in the past.

With only a single Shore Flower Clone, Su Han was now quite formidable. In a two-on-two fight, he was no longer at a disadvantage.

WHOOSH! The Shore Flower Clone shot straight toward the Qingluan Divine Beast, unleashing a barrage of Origin Techniques and Divine Methods. The onslaught was like a sudden, violent storm, leaving the Divine Beast struggling to cope.

Meanwhile, Su Han’s original body charged toward the Storm Goddess. He used his consciousness to condense a Black Blade and a pair of Dragon Silkworm Silk Gloves. Though not as powerful as physical weapons, they still enhanced his combat power.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

Clenching his left hand into a fist and wielding the blade with his right, Su Han mercilessly attacked the Storm Goddess.

The Storm Goddess also sensed Su Han’s power and dared not be careless. She immediately unleashed her strongest Divine Method, ”Call Forth Winds and Rains!” Instantly, a howling black wind swirled around her, filled with the intent of death—like the chilling wind of demise blowing from the Nine Serenities Hell.

The black storm surged, transforming into a black wind dragon that opened its mouth and exhaled. In that instant, Su Han felt his consciousness become unstable, as if it were about to be blown away completely. At the same time, a downpour of black rain began to fall. Drop after drop landed on him, making him feel an intense cold, as if his very life force was about to be extinguished.

This black wind and black rain were terrifying. They carried the aura of death, capable of eradicating vitality and snuffing out the flame of life itself.

Faced with the Storm Goddess’s fearsome Divine Method, Su Han dared not take any chances. ”Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe!” He quickly executed the Origin Technique, once again condensing Primordial Qi into a Heaven-Opening God Ax.

The next moment, the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe cleaved directly toward the Storm Goddess. This Primordial Qi, modeled after Chaos Qi, possessed an ineffable, wondrous might. It actually sliced through the black wind and black rain, heading straight for its target.

”What kind of technique is this? Why does it fill me with such dread?”

The Storm Goddess’s eyes showed fear and disbelief as she stared at the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe. She attacked wildly, attempting to shatter or block it, but all her efforts failed. Ultimately, she was struck with precision.

The Storm Goddess was not a being of flesh and blood but a formless storm, so ordinary attacks could not harm her. But as the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe slashed into her, it inflicted excruciating pain. She struggled to heal, as if some special energy was restricting her.

Eventually, the Storm Goddess let out a painful wail. Her aura gradually weakened until, in the end, she perished completely.

”Devouring Heaven Demonic Art!”

Su Han quickly deployed his Demonic Technique, absorbing the fallen Storm Goddess.

Soon, he obtained the Storm Goddess’s inheritance of memories. The most important part was the attack-type Divine Method, ”Call Forth Winds and Rains.”

The ”wind” it called was a deathly yin wind capable of extinguishing the fire of life with astounding power. The ”rain” it summoned was a deathly black rain, so intensely cold it could freeze a physical body and extinguish vitality. When practiced to Great Accomplishment, the wind and rain could be unleashed simultaneously, complementing each other to produce even more terrifying power.

This was an excellent Divine Method, an area-of-effect technique similar to Fiery Flame Storm and Netherworld Cold Tide. If he could use them in conjunction, the effect would surely be even more wondrous.

”Divine Aid Counterattack!”

Just then, a clear cry came from the Qingluan. Its body began to shine with a radiant cyan light, so dazzling it looked as if it were dressed in a mysterious, profound gauze.

The Qingluan deployed its Divine Method, and a dreadful surge of energy erupted, severely wounding the Shore Flower Clone.

”Kill!”

Su Han charged out without hesitation. He and the Shore Flower Clone joined forces to besiege the Qingluan.

Although the Qingluan Divine Beast was powerful, it was suppressed by the Prison Divine Palace. It was already at a disadvantage against one Su Han; now, facing two, it was completely overwhelmed.

Before long, the Qingluan Divine Beast was defeated. Su Han successfully absorbed it, obtaining its entire inheritance of memories.

The memories of the Demon Race were different from those of the Human Race. Through the Qingluan’s inherited memories, Su Han learned several ancient secrets and information about the Phoenix Clan, but those were temporarily useless to him. What was truly useful was the Divine Method, ”Divine Aid Counterattack.”

This was a special defensive Divine Method divided into two stages: Divine Aid and Counterattack. First, Divine Aid protects the body and absorbs incoming damage. Once its absorption limit is reached, Counterattack can be used to reflect all the stored damage back at the foe.

Call Forth Winds and Rains.

Divine Aid Counterattack.

This time, Su Han had obtained two new Divine Methods—a bountiful harvest indeed.
