Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 407 407: The Resentful Dragon Soul King

HISS! ROAR! SCREECH!

Various resentful roars echoed in Su Han's sea of consciousness, making his head feel as if it were being pierced by millions of needles, an unbearable agony.

Su Han clenched his teeth and operated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art with all his might. He summoned his ten Divine Sense Stellars, forming a surging tide of Divine Sense Power to fend off the assault of the Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls. But this time, there were far too many of them—over a hundred—making them impossible to resist.

CRACK!

A fissure appeared in his sea of consciousness, causing a splitting headache, as if his skull was about to explode.

"One Thought Becomes a Demon!"

Su Han condensed his Divine Sense into a spiritual blade and slashed at a Resentful Dragon Remnant Soul, planning to destroy it before devouring and refining it. But the moment the spiritual blade lashed out, it was besieged by over a hundred Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls. It shattered instantly, not even scratching them.

CRACK! CRACK!

New fissures kept appearing. Su Han's sea of consciousness was like a fractured porcelain vase, ready to shatter at any moment. This was a Spiritual Attack, rendering his powerful Physical Body useless. Moreover, he was pinned to the ground by the Dragon's Might, unable to move a muscle.

BANG!

Finally, under the relentless onslaught of over a hundred Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls, Su Han's sea of consciousness shattered and completely collapsed.

Su Han let out a scream of agony, but it was to no avail. The horde of Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls frantically invaded the depths of his sea of consciousness, launching an all-out assault on his Divine Sense Stellars. Once all ten Divine Sense Stellars were destroyed, his Divine Sense would collapse. He would fall into a stupor, becoming as helpless as a fish on a chopping block.

"Devour!"

Su Han frantically operated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, condensing all the Divine Sense Power from his ten Divine Sense Stellars into a massive Divine Sense Black Hole. The Devouring Heaven Demonic Art could devour all things, even spiritual power, and subject them to Refinement. Immediately, a Divine Sense Black Hole materialized within his sea of consciousness, spinning with astonishing Devouring Power.

GURGLE!

A Resentful Dragon Remnant Soul was quickly devoured, but unfortunately, Su Han had no time for Refinement before he had to face the attacks of the others.

RUMBLE!

Silent detonations exploded within his sea of consciousness, inflicting excruciating, almost unbearable pain. Still, he clenched his teeth, his belief upheld by his Invincible Tao Xin and Defying Heavenly Demon Will. He fought on, unyielding and unflinching.

RRRIP!

Although his Divine Sense Black Hole was powerful, the might of the Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls was also terrifying. They pounced simultaneously, making it impossible for Su Han to fully defend himself, and quickly tore off a large chunk of his Divine Sense Power.

"Way of the Universe, absorb all things!"

Su Han activated his Way of the Universe. The Divine Sense Black Hole immediately burst into dazzling light, as if transforming into a true universe that could absorb everything. Soon, two more Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls were devoured. Unfortunately, without time for Refinement, he couldn't use them to strengthen his Divine Sense.

And so, the spiritual battle devolved into a war of attrition. Su Han continuously devoured Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls, even as his own Divine Sense Power was torn away. It was now a question of who would break first.

Su Han possessed an Invincible Tao Xin and Defying Heavenly Demon Will. His fighting spirit blazed, and even in this most perilous moment, he bravely fought on, ready to battle heaven and earth. No one could help him in this battle; he could only rely on himself.

However, Su Han's will was incredibly strong, and his Divine Sense had already undergone significant growth. As time passed, though his Divine Sense grew torn and tattered, it did not collapse. In contrast, the horde of Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls had dwindled; he had devoured so many that only half of them remained.

Su Han had persevered. He had finally reached the turning point and could see the glimmer of victory.

"Devouring Heaven and Earth!"

Su Han pushed the Divine Sense Black Hole to its limit, continuously devouring while temporarily setting aside Refinement. One after another, the Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls vanished, becoming fuel for the Divine Sense Black Hole. Eventually, through immense willpower, Su Han succeeded in devouring all of them.

"Refine!"

Although the Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls were devoured, they remained an unrefined, volatile mass within him. This posed a huge liability; a single mishap could trigger an explosion, which would still spell certain death.

However, his will had already been tempered through this ordeal. Fearless, he calmed his mind and operated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, focusing fully on refining the hundred-odd Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls he had devoured.

Time ticked by. The Divine Sense Black Hole, which had been shredded beyond recognition, gradually recovered, beginning to glow with warmth and light. At the same time, Su Han dissolved the Divine Sense Black Hole, allowing the vast Divine Sense Power to coalesce back into the form of Divine Sense Stellars.

His ten original Divine Sense Stellars now shone with brilliant, lustrous light, like true stars in a night sky.

Not only that, but an eleventh Divine Sense Stellar was taking shape. It sharpened from fuzzy to clear, from ethereal to solid, and was soon fully formed. One by one, new Divine Sense Stellars formed, adorning his sea of consciousness in a stunning and dazzling display.

In the end, Su Han had refined all of the hundred-odd Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls. The process not only restored his Divine Sense and sea of consciousness but also allowed him to condense thirty-nine new Divine Sense Stellars. Now, a total of forty-nine Divine Sense Stellars shone brightly within Su Han's sea of consciousness, an incredibly brilliant sight.

Su Han let out a long sigh of relief. This ordeal had truly been a brush with death. If not for his steadfast will, powerful Divine Sense, and the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, he would have perished. Anyone else would have died long ago, their body reduced to a walking corpse. But Su Han had not only survived unharmed—his Divine Sense had grown fivefold, making him immensely stronger.

The enhancement of his Divine Sense also increased his ability to withstand the Dragon's Might. With tremendous difficulty, he began to move his limbs, slowly pushing himself up from the ground. Although the process was incredibly slow and arduous, it left the One-Eyed Shark King and the others watching from outside completely shocked and in disbelief.

"He's... not dead? How is that possible?" the One-Eyed Shark King exclaimed, his pupils constricting in shock.

"Over a hundred Resentful Dragon Remnant Souls couldn't kill him. Just how strong is his Divine Sense?" the Blue Whale added, startled beyond belief.

"That man is a monster. He must be killed!" Lu Ying the Jellyfish's expression turned grave, the killing intent in her gaze thickening.

The other prodigies also looked on in horrified disbelief.

"That's wonderful!" Seeing that Su Han was safe, Tongyan, whose heart had been in her throat, let out a small sigh of relief. She was currently activating her Qi Holy Body, preparing a peerless attack to rescue him. However, the strike was extremely difficult to muster, and she still needed more time.

ROAR!

Just then, a heaven-shaking roar erupted. It was so powerful that everyone felt their sea of consciousness crack. They bled from their eyes, nose, ears, and mouth as their spirits suffered a severe blow. A black light emerged from the brow of the kilometer-wide dragon skull, erupting with ferocious intensity.

In the next moment, a hundred-meter-tall Resentful Dragon Remnant Soul materialized before them. This Resentful Dragon Remnant Soul was as condensed as a physical entity and shockingly lifelike, having been stored within the dragon skull itself. It was incomparably more powerful than all the others they had faced.

It could only be described as the Resentful Dragon Soul King
