Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The purpose of the Demon Slaying Alliance is but one thing: to slay the Black Demon and exact revenge!

The scale of this alliance is immense, boasting not only twenty-eight saints but also the powerful leaders of four immortal forces.

King Yama’s Palace is led by one of the Ten Great Shadow Marshals, You Mau Great Saint. The Dugu Imperial Clan is led by the Flame Calamity Saint, who is at the Saint Realm Ninth Layer. The Ancient Chu Family’s Panwu Saint is also at the Saint Realm Ninth Layer. As for the Bagua Imperial Palace, it dispatched the Xun Gua Saint who excels in deduction.

”Let me conduct a deduction!”

Clad in a Bagua Taoist Robe, with crane-like hair and youthful face, the Xun Gua Saint exuded an aura of immortal sage. At that moment, he held a Bagua Compass and was deploying the Bagua Deduction Technique to ascertain Su Han’s whereabouts.

Though both are saints, the Xun Gua Saint is a Saint Realm Ninth Layer expert, with deduction abilities far exceeding those of the Heavenly Strategy Princess. He swiftly reached a conclusion.

”Southwest, 3000 li from here in the Cloud Mist Forest!”

The Xun Gua Saint precisely deduced Su Han’s location, and immediately, the Demon Slaying Alliance marched grandly toward the Cloud Mist Forest.

The Cloud Mist Forest had an extraordinary environment, shrouded in mist all year round, mysterious and perilous.

Su Han, who had left the battlefield, was now in seclusion here. His injuries were not severe, and the Qilin Undying Medicine posed no issue. This time he secluded himself to devour the Earth Spirit Great Saint’s Sacred Body of the Earth.

The Sacred Body of the Earth is a formidable Special Physique, ranked highly among special physiques, and since the Earth Spirit Great Saint was a Great Saint expert, his energies were immensely abundant.

One cannot compete for the Immortality Medicine without power. As per Su Han’s current prowess, he can only watch from the sidelines and cannot fight directly.

Though Su Han has already obtained two Immortality Medicines, it was owing to fortune, witnessing a struggle between powerful creatures and reaping the benefits. Yet luck is too ephemeral; only the strength in one’s own hands is the true support.

If not for his weakness, Su Han would much prefer to contend upfront, thus increasing his odds of acquiring the Immortality Medicine.

Currently, despite having two Immortality Medicines, three more remain to reach his goal, and over half of the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land’s opening period has passed. Time waits for no one; he must quickly enhance his power.

”Devouring Heaven Demonic Art!”

Su Han extracted the Earth Spirit Great Saint’s corpse, and promptly performed the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, beginning to devour the Sacred Body of the Earth.

This time, Su Han donned the Ghostly Face Mask, executed Physique Fusion, and additionally deployed Phenomenon and Black Hole Transformation together, unleashing the most potent Devouring Force.

He was aware of the Demon Slaying Alliance’s news, knowing he would soon face a fierce battle, so every moment was precious.

The Earth Spirit Great Saint, a Great Saint expert, possessed immense blood and energy, with abundant Spatial Force and Temporal Force within. Su Han spared nothing, absorbing and refining it all.

Soon, Su Han completely devoured the corpse of the Earth Spirit Great Saint, thereafter calmed down to start refinement.

As Su Han continued the refinement, his Sacred Body glowed, pulsating with breath, absorbing the Origin Source of the Sacred Body of the Earth, making his Sacred Body increasingly powerful, drawing closer to a Perfected Realm.

The Sacred Body of the Earth possesses the ability to communicate and acquire the Power of the Earth, and after absorbing its Origin Source, Su Han’s power soared tremendously.

Earlier, he could unleash five billion jin of force with a full-strength punch; now he wielded eight billion jin of power. With a punch, mountains and rivers shatter, heavens and earth collapse.

”Origin Technique: Earth Escape!”

Soon, Su Han acquired the Origin Technique of the Sacred Body of the Earth. It was neither offensive nor defensive, rather an Escape Technique that allowed one to merge with the earth, as a fish to water.

Swish!

Su Han instantly executed it, disappearing into the ground.

In the pitch-black underground, Su Han felt no discomfort. Rather, he felt remarkably at ease, faster than flying in the air, and his vision improved significantly, seeing as far as outside.

Moreover, within the earth, Su Han could feel the boundless, eternal Power of the Earth, harnessing it for greater strength.

”This Earth Escape Technique is wonderful. With it, I can move unhindered and tracking the Immortality Medicine becomes easier.”

The Origin Technique of Earth Escape, despite not being powerful, is extremely practical, a boon to Su Han’s quest for Immortality Medicine.

Bang!

A massive surge of energy exploded within Su Han, causing his aura to soar continuously, climbing higher and higher.

Time to break through!

The blood and energy of the Earth Spirit Great Saint was overwhelmingly abundant even though he had suffered severe injuries, depleting his blood and energy considerably. It still allowed Su Han’s power to ascend.

Soon, a strong wave burst forth from Su Han’s body, shattering towering trees all around, causing the entire Cloud Mist Forest to tremble intensely as if it might be razed to the ground.

”Saint Realm Third Layer!”

Su Han successfully broke through, reaching the Saint Realm Third Layer. Alas, the breakthrough ceased without extending, unable to reach the Saint Realm Fourth Layer. Higher realms demand more energy for each breakthrough; an injured Earth Spirit Great Saint could only permit Su Han to ascend one layer.

”Let’s visit the Prison Divine Palace!”

Having stabilized his realm and hidden his aura, Su Han entered the Prison Divine Palace once more.

Su Han had already devoured twenty of the three thousand gods and demons. One wonders what height he might achieve after devouring them all.

Buzz!

Circles of yellow fluctuations surged from beneath, causing the entire Prison Divine Palace to tremble.

Raising his gaze, Su Han spotted a deity with the Sacred Body of the Earth among the crowd. It was a short statured old man, clad in coarse clothes, holding a wooden staff, kneeling far shorter than others.

”Earth Deity?”

Regarding the diminutive elder, Su Han recalled a legendary deity. Although uncertain whether this elder was indeed the Earth Deity, he did bear much resemblance.

However, the Earth Deity was only just activated, not fully awakened yet. To ascertain his true identity, Su Han had to wait till he awakened.

”Ten days later!”

Sensing the fluctuations from the Earth Deity, Su Han gauged the time for his awakening.

The awakening time for each god and demon varies, depending on their own nature.

Nevertheless, ten days is relatively swift, but it suited Su Han, as he could swiftly acquire the Earth Deity’s memory inheritance, possibly aiding in tracking the Immortality Medicine.

”Hm?”

Suddenly, Su Han’s expression changed, his consciousness exited the Prison Divine Palace, returning to his original body.

Raising his eyes, he penetrated the dense mist, sighting a pressing crowd of figures, each exuding tremendous aura and intense Holy Might, numbering twenty-eight — the Demon Slaying Alliance.

”Discovered him!”

The Xun Gua Saint’s eyes gleamed like lightning, instantly identifying Su Han.

The battle, on the verge of erupting!
