Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 394 394: His Perilous Place, My Blessed Land

At this moment, Su Han was unaware that Bai Mu was already targeting him. However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care; there were many who wanted him dead, so one or two more didn't matter. Nevertheless, he had encountered trouble. This trouble came not from his pursuers but from the dangers within the Dragon Burial Valley. He had previously encountered a Resentful Dragon Remnant Soul in the Dense Fog Valley, but there had only been one, and it was not very strong. Now, however, Su Han was facing an assault by three Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls, each as powerful as a Heavenly King Realm expert.

The Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls had no physical form and attacked Su Han's sea of consciousness directly. They sought to breach it, erode his Divine Sense, and turn him into their controlled puppet. These remnant souls were filled with numerous negative emotions such as violence, destruction, and evil.

"One Thought Becomes a Demon!"

Su Han's head throbbed as if it were being constantly cleaved and chiseled. Daring not to be careless, he activated his Divine Sense Stellars, unleashing a surge of Divine Sense Power that clashed fiercely with the three Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls. Su Han's Divine Sense was not weak; he had even condensed two Divine Sense Stellars. Still, he struggled against the three remnant souls, his defenses nearly breached several times.

"Physique Fusion!"

Su Han donned the Ghostly Face Mask and condensed the Demonic Emperor Physique. With the Physique Fusion, he became like the Demonic Emperor reborn, exuding an aura of darkness, cold solitude, and tyranny. After the fusion, his Divine Sense was also significantly enhanced. The concentrated Divine Sense transformed into a spiritual blade, cutting through the void and slashing directly at the three Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls.

POP!

Like a bursting bubble, one of the Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls was cleaved in half by Su Han's spiritual blade. But the remaining two, like sharks that had smelled blood, attacked with even greater ferocity.

HISS!

The two remnant souls tore a crack in Su Han's sea of consciousness, causing him such immense pain that he grimaced, feeling an agony that made life seem worse than death.

"Way of the Universe, Devour All!"

Gritting his teeth, Su Han supported his will with the Defying Heavenly Demon Will and activated the Way of the Universe he had comprehended. His immense Divine Sense formed a black hole vortex that instantly devoured the second Resentful Dragon Remnant Soul. These remnant souls were filled with negative resentment, anger, and evil. Ordinary people dared not touch them, let alone consume and refine them. A single misstep could result in a backlash, a fate worse than death.

But Su Han was no ordinary person. His Devouring Heaven Demonic Art allowed him to devour and refine everything. Amid his agony, Su Han simultaneously devoured and refined the remnant soul while attacking the third one. Although a crack had been torn in his sea of consciousness, the power from the second remnant soul caused his Divine Sense to grow rather than diminish, becoming even more formidable.

Eventually, the third Resentful Dragon Remnant Soul was also slain, and the immediate crisis was resolved.

HUFF... HUFF...

Su Han opened his eyes, breathing heavily. His face was as pale as paper, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, making him look as if he had just been pulled from the water. He appeared extremely disheveled, as if he had just endured a battle of life and death.

And indeed, that was the case. A spiritual battle is far more dangerous than an ordinary one because the spirit is extremely fragile. A single misstep could turn a person into an idiot or a walking corpse. If Su Han had lost the fight, his sea of consciousness would have been shattered and his Divine Sense devoured, turning him into a walking corpse.

Fortunately, he had won—and decisively so. He immediately began circulating the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to devour and refine the three slain Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls. Although terrifying, the remnant souls contained rich spiritual power. Previously in the Dense Fog Valley, Su Han had refined a single Resentful Dragon Remnant Soul to form his second Divine Sense Stellar. Now, using the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, his efficiency was extremely high. In less than an hour, the refinement was complete.

The three Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls had rewarded him with two more Divine Sense Stellars. Including the previous two, Su Han now had four Divine Sense Stellars in his sea of consciousness.

Still six Divine Sense Stellars to go before I can push the Nine Heavens Eye to the Fourth Layer!

Su Han now knew exactly what he was missing. If the Nine Heavens Eye reached the Fourth Layer, he might be able to see through the light interference in this place. Then, he could move as freely as a fish in water, seizing an innate advantage. Six Divine Sense Stellars required an immense amount of spiritual power. Anywhere else, Su Han would have needed to accumulate it slowly over time. But here, he only needed to hunt Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls—or the even easier True Dragon Soul Remnants—to condense them. Advancing the Nine Heavens Eye to the Fourth Layer was no longer a distant dream.

"Tongyan, are you all right?" Su Han asked with concern as he saw Tongyan open her eyes.

"I'm fine," she replied. "And it looks like you not only escaped harm but also gained quite a bit!"

Tongyan's Divine Sense was not weak. Furthermore, with her Qi Holy Body, her luck was heaven-defying; a few Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls couldn't hurt her. At this moment, Su Han's eyes sparkled, and he was full of spirit, clearly having made some gains.

Although these Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls are dangerous, they are also a great boon. I wonder what the True Dragon Soul Remnants are like.

Su Han didn't elaborate or deny his gains. Having experienced the Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls, he was now somewhat looking forward to encountering the other type. It didn't take long for him to get his wish.

The True Dragon Soul Remnant was not as evil or bloodthirsty as its resentful counterpart, but it too craved flesh and wanted to invade his sea of consciousness. Moreover, it possessed a formidable Dragon's Might, which bore down on Su Han with immense pressure, as if trying to overwhelm him with its noble authority before taking over his mind. One type used crazed attacks, the other oppressive might; neither was easy to deal with.

However, with his powerful Divine Sense and the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, Su Han handled it without much difficulty. Before long, he successfully devoured and refined the True Dragon Soul Remnant. His Divine Sense was elevated once again, and though he had not yet condensed the fifth Divine Sense Stellar, he was not far from it.

This place is truly a treasure ground for me!

Su Han's eyes lit up with joy, his expectations for the Dragon Burial Valley soaring. The Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls that others feared like vipers couldn't withstand his Divine Sense assault. Not only could he resist them, but he could also devour and refine them to strengthen himself—an ability few could claim.

At this point, Su Han was no longer in a hurry to hunt down Huang Shu. Instead, he wanted to devour and refine several more Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls and True Dragon Soul Remnants to quickly reach ten Divine Sense Stellars and cultivate the Nine Heavens Eye to the Fourth Layer.

He didn't even need to search for them. His vigorous Qi-Blood was like a beacon in the night, attracting one remnant soul after another. Su Han turned none away. As long as he faced no more than five at once, he could withstand them.

Thus, Su Han continued to counter-hunt the remnant souls, and his Divine Sense Power grew increasingly stronger.

Finally, he condensed his tenth Divine Sense Stellar
