Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

COUGH, COUGH!

Su Han struggled to get up, continuously coughing up blood. His appearance was unbearably gruesome. His body was covered in gaping wounds, with torn skin and burst flesh. Deep cuts revealing bone bled profusely, and even his internal organs were shattered. The Demonized State had been forcibly dispelled.

”Secret of Healer!”

Su Han dared not pause for a moment. He immediately used the Secret of Healer to restore his physical injuries, but the Demonic Qi he had consumed could not be replenished yet.

On the other side, the Shore Flower Clone had been burned to ashes by the Ancient Bronze Holy Furnace and was temporarily unusable. After all, the Shore Flower Clone only had the strength of the Supreme Realm Fifth Layer; it could not withstand a desperate blow from the Copper Tiger Saint.

The Copper Tiger Saint, a Second Layer Saint Realm powerhouse, had performed a Forbidden Technique for a desperate, all-out battle. He managed to suppress most of the severe injuries caused by the black sphere, restoring his combat power to the level of the Saint Realm First Layer.

Even after unleashing every technique at his disposal and displaying his strongest state, Su Han was only comparable to the Supreme Realm Ninth Layer. There was still an insurmountable chasm of power between him and the Saint Realm, which was why he had been defeated.

”Origin Technique: Three Heads and Six Arms!”

”Divine Method: Vajra Subduing Demons!”

Su Han gritted his teeth and activated what little Demonic Qi he had left—less than thirty percent. He attacked again, deploying the Origin Technique and the Divine Method, which enhanced his combat power once more.

”It’s useless. My Forbidden Technique lasts for one hour. Within this hour, I can kill you a thousand times over!” the Copper Tiger Saint sneered, his expression ferocious. He bared his terrifying teeth as the ”King” character on his forehead appeared even more ominous.

”Nine Heavens Divine Light!”

Su Han used his Nine Heavens Eye, gathering the colossal power of his Divine Sense to condense the Nine Heavens Divine Light. He aimed to crush the Copper Tiger Saint’s sea of consciousness and seize a sliver of a chance for survival.

”A Divine Sense Attack? You underestimate me. Let me show you the might of a Forbidden Technique!”

Feeling the immense Divine Sense power contained within the Nine Heavens Divine Light, the Copper Tiger Saint smirked without fear. The ”King” character on his forehead began to glow, shining brightly.

A tiger formed from Divine Sense burst forth from the ”King” character. Filled with a brutal aura, it clashed directly with the Nine Heavens Divine Light.

BOOM!

Both were formidable Divine Sense Attacks. Their clash created an invisible, distorting storm. In the end, the Divine Sense tiger and the Nine Heavens Divine Light collapsed simultaneously, dissipating into the air.

In terms of Divine Sense, Su Han possessed one hundred and three Divine Sense Stellars, far surpassing the Copper Tiger Saint. Yet, under the effects of the Forbidden Technique, the Saint’s Divine Sense had also transformed into a fierce tiger. Its lethality was greatly increased, allowing it to withstand the Nine Heavens Divine Light.

”Such powerful Divine Sense, to actually withstand my attack. But even if you can withstand it once, can you withstand it a second time?”

The potency of the Nine Heavens Divine Light had surprised the Copper Tiger Saint, but he quickly adjusted his mindset. The ”King” character on his forehead shone again as a second Divine Sense tiger roared and lunged at Su Han.

Su Han’s brows furrowed tightly. He hadn’t expected the Copper Tiger Saint to have a second Divine Sense tiger.

”Divine Sense Black Hole!”

Unable to use the Nine Heavens Divine Light again, Su Han transformed his Divine Sense into a black hole to defend against the tiger’s assault.

BANG!

Although he was a Sword Casting Master, the Copper Tiger Saint also had exceptionally rich combat experience. He swiftly seized the opportunity and attacked Su Han ferociously, sending him flying and spitting blood.

”Time Stop!”

Before Su Han could even land, the Copper Tiger Saint’s power of time completely overwhelmed the Time Demonic Pattern, affecting Su Han once again.

”Tiger Claw Tears Heaven!”

The Copper Tiger Saint thrust out his claws, which seemed to blot out the sky. Their chilling light shone brightly, like several swords slashing down at once, and they fell upon Su Han.

RIP!

Su Han’s chest was torn open. Several deep, bone-exposing wounds appeared, gushing blood. His organs were shattered again, and his Demonic Qi was almost gone, with less than ten percent remaining.

WHOOSH!

Su Han dared not hesitate. He swiftly retrieved a Purple Crystal Treasure Vase from his Bronze Ring, poured out a drop of Life Spring Water, and swallowed it to heal his injuries.

”Life Spring Water? You actually possess such a treasure!”

The Copper Tiger Saint’s eyes bulged. He had, of course, heard of this treasure and knew of its miraculous effects. He was severely injured and had forcibly used the Tiger Transformation Forbidden Technique. Even if he won this battle, he would suffer from debilitating aftereffects. But with Life Spring Water, things would be different.

It was a supreme healing treasure that could restore any injury. With enough of it, even regenerating flesh on bare bones and bringing the dead back to life was possible. He could clearly see there was still plenty of Life Spring Water in the Purple Crystal Treasure Vase. As long as he killed Su Han, it would all be his.

”You have so many treasures, but they’ll all be mine soon!” The Copper Tiger Saint’s eyes blazed with greed. He no longer cared about Su Han’s identity or background; he just wanted to kill him and take his treasures.

”Kill!”

With a tiger’s roar, the Copper Tiger Saint unleashed the full combat power of the Saint Realm First Layer. His claws tore at the heavens, his Domain suppressed everything, time came to a stop, and his murderous tiger aura raged as he charged Su Han with all his might.

Su Han gritted his teeth and held up his Black Blade to defend himself, but his strength was compromised. The Life Spring Water could only heal his wounds, not restore his Demonic Qi.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Su Han was like a punching bag, beaten back again and again by the Copper Tiger Saint. His injuries grew more severe, and the Saint gave him no chance to consume more Life Spring Water. Su Han desperately held on, but he could find no opportunity to counterattack.

”Time Stop!”

”Sword Qi Dragon!”

”Holy Furnace Refining the Sky!”

”Tiger Claw Tears Heaven!”

The Copper Tiger Saint’s aura surged violently to its peak as he went all out, determined to kill Su Han with a single, final blow and end the battle.

Su Han’s face was deathly pale. His Demonic Qi was completely exhausted, leaving him with only his Physical Strength. He decided to make a desperate gamble.

SPURT!

Just then, the Copper Tiger Saint’s expression changed drastically. He spat out a large mouthful of black blood, and his aura, like a deflating balloon, rapidly weakened. His Original Body reverted from its demonic tiger form back to its human shape.

A backlash from his injuries! A flash of insight struck Su Han’s mind, and he instantly guessed the Copper Tiger Saint’s condition.

The blow from the black sphere had severely wounded the Copper Tiger Saint, who had then forcibly executed the Tiger Transformation Forbidden Technique. While he had temporarily gained immense power, it came with great latent danger. Now, by erupting with all his might, he had finally triggered that danger and was suffering a backlash. Not only had he lost the enhancement from the Forbidden Technique, but he was also now completely crippled and on the brink of death.

WHOOSH!

Although he was in a terrible state himself, Su Han refused to miss this perfect opportunity for a counter-kill. He leaped up, clenched his fists, and smashed them directly into the Copper Tiger Saint’s face.

Although he had no Demonic Qi and couldn’t use the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist, Su Han still possessed the Great Accomplished Sacred Body and the Great Luo Golden Body. His Physical Body was unrivaled, and his iron fists were fierce and unmatched.

The Copper Tiger Saint’s body was rigid from the backlash, rendering him completely unable to resist. Su Han’s iron fists battered him into a bloody pulp.

BANG!

Ultimately, Su Han smashed the Copper Tiger Saint’s head, reducing his flesh and blood to paste as he breathed his last.

The Copper Tiger Saint was dead.
