Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Inside the Prison Divine Palace, Su Han had just entered and saw the short-statured Earth Deity.

The Earth Deity gripped a wooden staff and wore rough cloth garments, looking extremely ordinary, devoid of any divine majesty, yet Su Han dared not underestimate him.

At this moment, the Earth Deity was fully awake. His face, as small as a palm, was covered in deep wrinkles; he was smiling, resembling a crumpled chrysanthemum, looking somewhat creepy.

”Is this the descendant of the Cruel Demon Emperor? I, the humble Earth Deity, have met the lord!”

The Earth Deity surprisingly made a respectful gesture to Su Han, performing a greeting ritual.

This made Su Han furrow his brows slightly, unsure of just what kind of trick the Earth Deity was trying to pull.

”I am merely a minor deity with weak divine power, who was killed by the aftermath of the Cruel Demon Emperor’s battle back then. It’s embarrassing to say, but I hold the Cruel Demon Emperor in awe. To meet the lord today is truly a blessing for me in three lifetimes!”

The Earth Deity continued to speak politely, smiling non-stop, like a local official meeting an imperial court minister.

This situation was a first-time occurrence for Su Han, but he didn’t dare be complacent, and he certainly didn’t believe the words of the Earth Deity.

Inside the Prison Divine Palace, there are only three thousand gods and demons. Those guarded by the Cruel Demon Emperor would hardly be ordinary, claiming to be killed by battle aftermath—what a lie!

Although unaware of the Earth Deity’s intentions, Su Han knew one thing: strike first to gain the advantage!

”One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!”

With a grasp, his Divine Sense transformed into the Soul Severing Sword, directly executing the Divine Method, condensing ten meters of Slaughter Sword Qi, slashing towards the Earth Deity.

”Ah!”

Seeing Su Han attack, the Earth Deity sighed, seemingly filled with helplessness.

”Though the time was rushed, the preparation is finally complete!”

Whoosh!

Only to see beneath Su Han’s feet, the ground turned into a quagmire, dragging Su Han directly into it, the mud incredibly sticky and unable to bear force, causing Su Han to sink continuously.

Meanwhile, the smile on the Earth Deity’s face had vanished, replaced by a cold indifference filled with killing intent. Evidently, everything before was a facade, meant to divert Su Han’s attention, enabling the quagmire technique.

The quagmire was deep, the mud sticky; Su Han wanted to rush out but was held firmly, his physical body strong but unable to exert force at this moment, unable to escape.

”Origin Technique: Netherworld Cold Tide!”

”Four Nether Cold Underworld Qi!”

Su Han swiftly utilized the Origin Technique and Divine Method, wanting to freeze the quagmire, so he could break free. However, the Earth Deity quickly countered, repelling the cold, thwarting Su Han’s plan.

”Eternally Fall into the Abyss!”

The Earth Deity acted, the quagmire’s pull grew stronger, as if countless hands were grabbing Su Han’s feet, trying to drag him into the abyss.

Rumble!

Su Han attacked with full force, deploying various methods, yet still unable to break free. The Earth Deity’s long-pondered tactics weren’t easily overcome.

”Energy Physique, Black Hole Transformation!”

Su Han couldn’t break free, so he resorted to the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, expanding the Devouring Demonic Domain, transforming into a black hole, fully devouring the quagmire.

Inside the Prison Divine Palace, Su Han’s Demonic Technique was amplified, and the quagmire was devoured by more than half, allowing Su Han to finally break free.

However, the quagmire wasn’t easily devoured; Su Han felt his body was like an inflated balloon, about to burst.

”Truly a descendant of the Cruel Demon Emperor, having cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to such an extent!”

The Earth Deity coldly stared at Su Han, his wooden staff striking the ground suddenly.

”Great Earthquake!”

Rumble!

Suddenly, Su Han felt the entire Prison Divine Palace was quaking, the ground shaking made him stumble and fall, and the shaking wasn’t limited to the ground; even the space and time were vibrating.

Su Han felt everything above and below, all were trembling, and this shaking force threatened to tear him apart, separating flesh from bone.

This Divine Method was terrifying, the shaking power was extremely dreadful, Su Han felt unbearable pain throughout his body, barely able to sustain.

”Second Divine Power: Great Dao Treasure Vase!”

Su Han persevered through gritted teeth, quickly employing the Second Divine Power, instantly manifesting the Great Dao Treasure Vase, its mouth aimed at the Earth Deity, unleashing an endless killing intent sweeping through heaven and earth.

This Divine Power was equivalent to Su Han’s self-destruction, with infinite might, colliding with the shaking force, finally breaking through this omnipresent vibrational force.

The Earth Deity also suffered from the endless killing intent, his entire being dimming, aura faint, heavily injured.

But this wasn’t enough; the Earth Deity was still alive, and if not swiftly killed, it would pose endless troubles.

Su Han had suffered once, naturally not wanting to suffer again, even though his condition was also grim, he decided to risk another attempt.

”Origin Technique: Primordial Qi!”

Su Han utilized the Origin Technique, instantly transforming the Primordial Qi into a thousand-meter Heaven-Opening God Ax, cleaving towards the Earth Deity like splitting heaven and earth.

”This is the power of Chaos, impossible, this is absolutely impossible!”

Feeling the Primordial Qi, the Earth Deity couldn’t maintain composure, pupils contracted with shock, yet the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe relentlessly cleaved down.

Slice!

One ax fell, and the Earth Deity couldn’t withstand, was cleaved in half. Su Han, quick-eyed and deft-handed, swiftly employed the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to devour and refine the Earth Deity.

The Prison Divine Palace returned to tranquility; the previous quagmire and earthquake disappeared, and the Palace’s ground didn’t change, since it wasn’t physical, but a manifestation of consciousness.

”Huff!”

After a long time, Su Han finally opened his eyes, exhaled a long breath.

He had successfully refined the Earth Deity, gaining the inheritance of his memories, and the origin of this Earth Deity surprised him.

Generally, an Earth Deity only governs a region, but this Earth Deity governed all lands, worthy of being called the God of Land. Hence, he was valued by the Cruel Demon Emperor and imprisoned in the Prison Divine Palace.

”Divine Method: Great Earthquake!”

And now Su Han had obtained the Earth Deity’s strongest Divine Method, the Great Earthquake he just experienced.

This Divine Method’s power is immensely strong, capable of shaking everything. The Earth Deity was only limited by his realm; had he had his true strength, even the entire Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm could be shattered by him.

Su Han didn’t hesitate, swiftly immersing himself, beginning to cultivate.

”Divine Method: Great Earthquake!”

Su Han attempted once, immediately causing the earth to quake, but without space and time vibrating, clearly, he’d just touched the threshold, not yet mastered.

However, he was ultimately a strong Saint Realm, possessing some Spatial Force and Time Force within; with more cultivation, he would eventually deploy it.

Swoosh!

Consciousness exited the Prison Divine Palace, returning to his body.

”Hmm?”

Just as Su Han returned, he sensed a faint aura, and this aura wasn’t unfamiliar to Su Han; it came from the Bagua Deduction Technique.

Evidently, Yun Ji Saint had already deduced his location, seemingly about to be exposed.

”In that case, I’ll use you to test my abilities!”

Su Han’s eyes shone with brilliance, deciding to deploy the newly acquired Divine Method.
