Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Su Han’s journey to the East Sea not only resulted in a significant personal improvement but also allowed him to acquire numerous spoils of war. The most precious among these were the Black Whale’s corpse and the Kunpeng Holy Feather. As for the rest, Su Han sold them all in one go to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Ultimately, Su Han received thirty billion Spirit Stones from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. However, this auction was calculated using Supreme Grade Spirit Stones. Since one Supreme Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one million Low Grade Spirit Stones, Su Han’s thirty billion was actually only thirty thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones!

Unfortunately, due to the unique nature of his Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, Su Han could not cultivate with Spirit Stones. Otherwise, those thirty thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones would have been enough for him to cultivate directly to the Heavenly King Realm Ninth Level.

But Su Han did not complain. Where there is gain, there is loss. Obtaining the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art was already a stroke of great fortune, so how could he demand perfection?

The auction was still ten days away, so Su Han took up residence in the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

”Although Mr. Su is young, his mastery in the way of formations is such that I could call him my master. I thank Mr. Su for his guidance; I have benefited greatly.”

Su Han did not forget the promise he had made to Gong Ming. After leaving Saint You Heng, he sought out Gong Ming, and the two of them exchanged knowledge on the Formation Path. Su Han provided him with considerable advice, leading to Gong Ming’s enlightenment and a deeper understanding.

Afterward, Su Han left Gong Ming’s residence to let him digest the information slowly. He then went to the dwelling Saint You Heng had arranged for him. It was a resplendent palace, glittering with gold and radiant with Spiritual Energy. Inside, there was even a Spiritual Spring perfect for bathing, allowing one to rest and cultivate without impediment.

The Kunpeng Holy Feather is a Low Grade Holy Artifact. I shall keep it for now. First, I will devour the Black Whale and enhance my strength.

Su Han had a clear plan for his cultivation.

In terms of his Physical Body, he had reached the Great Accomplishment of the Sacred Body.

In terms of Divine Sense, he possessed one hundred Divine Sense Stellars and a Spiritual Domain with a hundred-meter range.

In terms of Martial Techniques, he had many Origin Techniques and Divine Methods, which were far stronger than ordinary Martial Techniques.

In terms of Cultivation Technique, his Devouring Heaven Demonic Art far surpassed others.

In terms of treasures, he possessed three Holy Artifacts, as well as the Black Blade and the Ghostly Face Mask.

At this point, not only was Su Han’s strength formidable, but he also had no discernible weaknesses, making the path to becoming stronger quite clear.

The first was to raise his Realm and strive to break through to the Supreme Realm as soon as possible. Then he would kill his way back to Qingmo Province to seek his revenge.

The second was to cultivate the Great Luo Golden Body and merge it with his Sacred Body, making his Physical Body unrivaled.

Since the auction had yet to begin and the Holy Gold was not yet in his hands, Su Han could only proceed with the first plan for now.

Although the Black Whale does not have a Special Physique, it possesses the Kunpeng Bloodline. I wonder what its might will be after I devour it?

The Black Whale’s body was far too massive; if taken out in its entirety, it would likely burst the entire palace. Therefore, Su Han first cut it into pieces inside the Bronze Ring before taking them out for devouring and refinement.

Soon, the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art began to operate. Su Han refined the Black Whale’s corpse piece by piece, causing his aura to climb incessantly.

While Su Han was devouring the Black Whale and enhancing his strength, the surrounding Daozhous were thrown into an uproar over the upcoming auction. This was no ordinary event but the grand annual auction held by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Many rare and precious items would be featured, attracting powerful individuals and forces from all major Daozhous to attend. Among them were even powerhouses of the Saint Realm!

「Qingzhou. The Seven Stars Sect.」

Ye Chuanfeng was also preparing to set off.

I heard that little beast has fled back from the East Sea and is now in Cang City of Yun Province. While attending the auction, I must inquire about his whereabouts and see if I can use Lei Ming to lure him back to Qingzhou. Then I can make my move and kill him!

Murderous intent flickered in Ye Chuanfeng’s eyes. Su Han’s growth rate was astonishingly fast, making him feel an immense threat. Moreover, Su Han had stolen the opportunity meant for the Tian Lou Saint, which implicated him in the fallout. At this point, he wanted nothing more than to kill Su Han to atone for his own mistake.

Soon, Ye Chuanfeng left the Seven Stars Sect and headed toward Cang City.

「Mozhou. The Heavenly Demon Cult.」

The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign was also preparing to depart. A large-scale auction held by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was extremely important, as Holy-level treasures were bound to appear, possibly including something he needed. If he were lucky, he might even achieve Instant Sanctification. No one could resist such a temptation.

However, this time the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign was not going alone; he was bringing Qin Wushuang with him.

”Let’s go. We’ll head to Cang City for a look and also inquire about Su Han’s whereabouts,” the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign spoke coldly, his voice laced with a deep wariness for Su Han. ”That boy has made a name for himself, even breaking into the top ten of the Prodigy Leaderboard. Both you and I have a great feud with him. If he is not eliminated, a great disaster will befall us sooner or later.”

Ranking in the top ten of the Prodigy Leaderboard was equivalent to being a Saint Heir or an Emperor’s Daughter, signifying limitless prospects. Having such a person as an enemy meant endless anxiety. The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign dreamed of killing Su Han.

”Rest assured, Cult Leader. I will find a way to kill him!” Qin Wushuang’s face turned livid, his own killing intent toward Su Han burning intensely. His feud with Su Han was long-standing; there was no possibility of coexistence between them. It was a fight to the death, and thus, he was prepared to use any means necessary to eliminate Su Han.

”Let’s go!”

The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign nodded and promptly left the Heavenly Demon Cult with Qin Wushuang, heading in the direction of Yun Province.

Besides Ye Chuanfeng and the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign, powerhouses from Hanzhou and Jinzhou also set off in succession, all heading toward Cang City. Furthermore, experts from several neighboring Daozhous had heard the news and were on their way as well. After all, the auction had no regional restrictions, thus attracting an even larger crowd.

「At this moment, on a certain cloud ship.」

A portly figure stood with his hands behind his back, gazing toward Yun Province. This man was decked in finery, sparkling with a radiance so brilliant it could blind a person. His chubby face wore a gentle, seemingly harmless smile.

However, anyone who knew him would never be deceived by his appearance. After all, this was the number one assassin of the Demon Slayer Sect.

This person was Gold Ingot, at the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly King Realm and ranked sixth on the Prodigy Leaderboard.

The top ten on the Prodigy Leaderboard were essentially invincible within their own realm. Although Gold Ingot was only at the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly King Realm, his actual combat power was formidable enough to contend with a powerhouse at the First Layer of the Supreme Realm.

Su Han, I’m coming to kill you!

Gold Ingot grinned, a smile as sinister as a tiger’s, chilling to the bone.

The predictions of the Great Saint of Divine Calculations had been accurate indeed. Su Han had successfully escaped from the East Sea. Gold Ingot had accepted the mission to hunt Su Han some time ago. Now, learning that Su Han was in Cang City just as an auction was about to be held, he could kill two birds with one stone. As for dealing with Saint You Heng and Gong Ming in Cang City, he had his own methods.

Unfortunately, Gold Ingot was unaware that the Black Whale had been killed. Had he known, he likely would not have been so confident.

The auction, set for ten days later, attracted experts from all corners. Yet beneath the surface, dark tides surged and hidden killing intent lurked.

This time, the auction was destined to be an extraordinary event
