Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 398 398: Too Bewitching

There was a minor bottleneck between the Third and Fourth Layers of the Heavenly King Realm. Consequently, Bai Mu, at the Heavenly King Realm Fourth Level, was considerably stronger than his soul-hooking adversary. Combined with his White Bone Cold Body, his combat power was utterly terrifying.

WHOOSH!

Bai Mu reached out and produced a white sword. The blade was crystal clear, forged from thousand-year-old cold crystals and imbued with a rich Dao Rhyme. It was a Supreme Grade Dao Artifact.

With the Cold Crystal Dao Sword in hand, Bai Mu slashed out. A vast expanse of white sword Qi surged forward like a glacier, carrying an unmatched sharpness and a dreadful chill. It coalesced into a three-hundred-meter-long sword radiance and shot toward Su Han. This single strike was overwhelmingly tyrannical, powerful enough to shatter a thousand-foot mountain, yet Su Han remained unfazed.

"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"

Gripping the Black Blade, its Demonic Patterns lit up. Bolstered by the thunder light filling the sky, a hundred-meter-long blade of lightning and fire roared out to meet Bai Mu's attack head-on.

CLANG!

A sharp, ear-piercing clash of metal rang out, generating terrifying sonic waves that made the very space around them ripple. A horrifying energy fluctuation exploded, shattering the tranquility of the low-lying area.

SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH!

The dozen or so resentful dragon Remnant Souls that originally occupied the area now frantically assaulted the four of them, attempting to invade their Sea of Consciousness and possess their bodies.

Bai Mu and Wang Jinghe were well-prepared and calmly fended off the erosion from the Remnant Souls, but Su Han and Tongyan faced considerable interference. Bai Mu had chosen this location for his trap with careful consideration. These Remnant Souls would tie down some of Su Han's and Tongyan's focus, indirectly weakening them.

Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit; Bai Mu had indeed come thoroughly prepared to deal with Su Han.

However, Su Han wasn't greatly affected. With ten Divine Sense Stellars in his Sea of Consciousness, his Divine Sense Power was incredibly strong. He could not only withstand the erosion of the resentful dragon Remnant Souls but even spare the effort to kill them, devouring and refining their power to enhance his own Divine Sense. This was a development Bai Mu had likely not anticipated.

"Black Netherworld Flower!"

With a flick of his finger, a stunningly beautiful Black Netherworld Flower flew out. Under Bai Mu's astonished gaze, it entered his body and forced out his Heaven and Earth Physique.

"What sort of technique is this?" Bai Mu was utterly shocked, his Heart Spirit shaken. Such a method was simply inconceivable.

"Cursing Killing Nether Technique!"

Su Han quickly unleashed the Cursing Power Technique. A wave of dark energy descended upon Bai Mu, causing his strength to wane significantly. Su Han could only resort to this, however. Due to Bai Mu's immense power and the distance between them, the effects of the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method and the gravity magnetic field would be minimal, so Su Han chose not to reveal them.

"Earth Rank High Level Martial Technique: Glacier Fissure!"

The Cursing Power Technique had weakened Bai Mu's Physical Body, but it couldn't diminish his Spiritual Energy. Gripping the Cold Crystal Dao Sword, he rapidly executed another Martial Technique, once again striking at Su Han. With a single slash, a boundless surge of sword Qi formed into the overwhelming illusion of a glacier. It was as if they were standing in the midst of an endless icy plain, surrounded on all sides by ice. At that moment, the glacier beneath Su Han's feet cracked open, forming a massive fissure that opened like a gaping maw, ready to swallow him whole.

An intense sense of crisis welled up in Su Han's heart.

"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"

Clenching his left fist and pulling on his Dragon Silkworm Silk Gloves, his golden Qi-Blood began to boil. A terrifying force of three billion units erupted, bolstered by his Great Luo Golden Bone and the Character Secret. He threw a punch that felt like mountains were crumbling and the earth was splitting apart.

BOOM!

Su Han was forced back seven or eight meters, while the Glacier Sword Shadow before him rapidly collapsed. In that exchange, Su Han had gained a slight advantage.

"Truly a monster," Bai Mu's gaze sharpened, his assessment of Su Han rising another notch. "To possess such combat power at only the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer is incredible. Aside from your Art of Teleportation, your strength is comparable to a Martial Artist at the Heavenly King Realm Second Layer."

He had never underestimated Su Han or taken this enemy lightly, but only after clashing did he truly understand how monstrous his opponent was. Battling beyond one's level was a required skill for any prodigy. However, challenging someone in the Heavenly King Realm while still in the Divine Power Realm was exceedingly rare. Yet here was Su Han, at the Divine Power Realm Ninth Layer, fighting him, a Heavenly King Realm Fourth Level expert. The gap between them was as vast as the chasm between heaven and earth.

Furthermore, Bai Mu himself was a highly talented prodigy capable of fighting above his rank. By that measure, Su Han could probably fight on par with an expert at the Heavenly King Realm Fifth or even Sixth Layer.

Too monstrous! Too terrifying! Too unbelievable! When did a character like this emerge from the Eastern Region, let alone a remote Daozhou like Qingzhou? This is like something out of a fairy tale.

Bai Mu's heart trembled, and his killing intent grew even stronger. A Su Han like this was a fearsome prospect. If he were allowed to break through to the Heavenly King Realm, he would be even more difficult to deal with. Since he had chosen to act, he had to end this quickly and decisively, giving Su Han no chance to turn the tables.

I must kill you today!

With this thought, Bai Mu steeled himself and decided to use his full power to deliver the final blow.

"Origin Technique: Spiritual Freeze!"

Bai Mu channeled all his power into his White Bone Cold Body, immediately deploying his Origin Technique. Every Special Physique possessed its own unique Origin Technique. The one for the White Bone Cold Body was particularly unusual, as it was a Spiritual Attack.

Suddenly, within Su Han's Sea of Consciousness, frost began to form. It was bone-chillingly cold, freezing everything inch by inch, threatening to encase his entire Sea of Consciousness and lock his Divine Sense away. This Origin Technique was terrifying; once a person's Divine Sense was frozen, they would be rendered vegetative, unable to control their body and left completely at the mercy of others. Bai Mu had used this technique to kill countless powerful prodigies, and he was confident it would be effective against Su Han.

Indeed, Spiritual Freeze caused Su Han considerable trouble. A frozen Sea of Consciousness meant not only losing control of his body but also dealing with the threat of the resentful dragon Remnant Souls. The Su Han of the past might have been injured by this move, but he now possessed ten Divine Sense Stellars and the devouring Demonic Nature. An unyielding and tenacious Defying Heavenly Demon Will surged from the depths of his heart, resisting directly.

CRACK!

His mighty Divine Sense condensed into a blade and slashed at the frost, shattering the ice that had begun to form. It crumbled inch by inch until Bai Mu's Origin Technique was completely broken.

"Devour!"

As the Origin Technique failed, Bai Mu's Divine Sense attempted to retreat, but Su Han gave it no such chance. The Devouring Heaven Demonic Art activated, directly consuming and refining Bai Mu's spiritual power.

Bai Mu's body staggered, and his face turned ashen white. Having a considerable amount of his Divine Sense devoured left him dizzy and extremely unwell.

"I refuse to believe I can't kill you today!" Bai Mu gritted his teeth, his eyes brimming with murderous intent as he lunged forward, attacking Su Han once again.

The battle between Su Han and Bai Mu was extremely fierce, but on the other side, Tongyan was on the verge of being overwhelmed.
