Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 411 411: The Light of Destiny

"The seventh strike of Thunder Light actually produced a Leviathan?"

Tongyan felt as if all her expectations had been shattered. This Heavenly Tribulation was several times more powerful than the last one, utterly beyond the capacity of an ordinary person to withstand. Su Han, in his effort to fend off the previous six strikes of Thunder Light, was already utterly weakened. He had even resorted to using the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, a Holy Artifact. Now, faced with this seventh Leviathan, his situation was truly hopeless.

Tongyan clenched her palm tightly, ready to unleash the peerless strike she had been brewing for a long time.

On the other side, the One-Eyed Shark King and the others were dumbfounded, completely taken aback.

"The Heavenly Tribulation is taking form! This is no ordinary tribulation. They're really trying to kill Su Han. It's too cruel."

The ordinary Thunder Light was already terrifying enough, but a fully formed Leviathan was even more fearsome. The One-Eyed Shark King knew he wouldn't be able to withstand it; he would be blasted to pieces.

The Blue Whale, the Lu Ying Jellyfish, and the others also looked on in shock. This was their first time witnessing a Heavenly Tribulation firsthand, and its might left a heavy shadow on their hearts. They imagined themselves in Su Han's position and realized they would be utterly incapable of resisting. They would be blown to smithereens without a trace left behind.

Too terrifying! Too horrible! Too hopeless!

Su Han's expression also grew grave as he stared intently at the Leviathan. This creature's strength had already surpassed that of an ordinary Heavenly King Realm expert, even rivaling a strike from a Supreme. And he hadn't even broken through to the Heavenly King Realm yet. Facing this attack was an act of sheer desperation.

"Dragon Slaying Demon Banner!"

Su Han reached out, and the Dragon Slaying Demon Banner immediately appeared in his hand. Activating it with the Secret of the Soldier Character, a hundred-meter-long Evil Dragon Shadow materialized and hurtled straight toward the Leviathan.

Both were a hundred meters in size, and the Dragon Slaying Demon Banner was even a Low-Grade Holy Artifact, but the Leviathan was simply too strong. The Evil Dragon Shadow lasted less than three seconds before being directly blasted to smithereens by the Leviathan.

The Leviathan roared as it charged forward, closing in with terrifying speed. In the blink of an eye, it was right in front of Su Han.

Su Han took out various treasures from his Bronze Ring and hurled them all at the Leviathan, trying to block the terrifying attack. All at once, various Talismans crumbled, armor shattered, and treasures turned to dust, completely unable to withstand the Leviathan's onslaught.

"Dual Black Holes!"

In the end, Su Han invoked his Demonic Emperor Physique to activate the Dual Black Holes, facing the Leviathan directly to devour it.

He was actually trying to swallow this Leviathan. The scene left the One-Eyed Shark King and the others utterly astounded.

Has he gone mad?

The Dual Black Holes were already forty meters across, pitch-black and abyssal, as if connected to a dark, cold, and desolate universe. As the Dual Black Holes opened, vortices spun within, emitting a terrifying Devouring Force that acted directly upon the Leviathan.

Soon enough, the Dual Black Holes had completely swallowed the creature. However, Su Han was unable to refine it. The formidable Leviathan unleashed an unprecedented backlash upon him.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

His entire body began to break apart. Blood sprayed everywhere, his flesh became a blur, and his mangled limbs exposed stark white bone. Su Han collapsed to the ground, twitching and clenching his teeth, enduring a pain he had never felt before.

An endless surge of backlash erupted from within, threatening to blast him into mincemeat. His flesh, organs, and bones all seemed to be shattering, unable to bear the strain. Eventually, Su Han lay on the ground like a ragged sack, unable to move, with just a faint trace of life remaining.

Although he had successfully devoured the Leviathan, he had suffered unprecedented injuries in the process. He clung to a mere breath of life. Forget continuing the Tribulation Transcendence. Even an ordinary person could easily kill him now.

"He actually managed to devour a Leviathan! That's horrifying!"

"Being a prodigy is useless now. He's at the end of his rope, and there are still two more bolts from the Heavenly Tribulation to come. He absolutely won't be able to withstand them. He's going to be blasted to ash, and it's even likely his body and soul will be annihilated, with not even a spirit remaining."

"A generational prodigy is about to die tragically under a Heavenly Tribulation. What a pity!"

The One-Eyed Shark King and his followers discussed amongst themselves, shocked that Su Han had devoured the Leviathan but also lamenting his impending death. Of course, their pity was not for Su Han's life and death, but for the treasures he possessed. They wondered if the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda and the Dragon Slaying Demon Banner would be damaged by the Heavenly Tribulation. If they were, it would be truly heartbreaking.

At this moment, the One-Eyed Shark King and the others were like vultures circling high in the sky, waiting for their target to die before swooping down to feast.

Tongyan's heart was filled with anxiety, but her peerless strike was not a healing technique; she couldn't help Su Han recover. Even if she used it now to save him, the One-Eyed Shark King and the others were watching like hawks. Given Su Han's current state, escaping would be nearly impossible.

Moreover, the Heavenly Tribulation wasn't over. As long as Su Han was alive, it would not disappear unless all nine strikes of Thunder Light were blocked. There were still two strikes remaining, either of which was enough to claim his life.

Tongyan gazed at Su Han with worry, praying in her heart. Su Han, you must survive!

Regrettably, the heavens did not hear Tongyan's prayers. Within the dark, heavy clouds, the next Thunderbolt finished brewing, and the eighth strike of Thunder Light suddenly appeared.

ROAR!

A familiar roar echoed as a second Leviathan flew out from the clouds. This one was twenty meters thick, far more powerful than the last. The Leviathan's appearance was world-ending, an unstoppable force.

Its strength was also comparable to a Supreme's strike. Even if Su Han were in perfect condition, he would have found it difficult to resist, let alone now, when he was severely injured and at death's door, completely powerless. At this moment, Su Han couldn't even lift a finger, let alone use a Holy Artifact. The eighty-one Divine Sense Stars in his Sea of Consciousness had also dimmed, offering no help whatsoever.

CRACK!

The Leviathan locked onto Su Han, the Tribulation Transcender, and immediately descended from the sky, rushing toward him.

Su Han gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, trying to resist the Leviathan, but as soon as he stood, he collapsed again. His injuries were simply too severe.

The Leviathan rapidly closed in, its terrifying aura of destruction causing space itself to shudder and ripple violently.

Just as the Leviathan was about to strike Su Han and blast him to smithereens, a familiar voice rang out.

"Destiny's Light!"

Tongyan made her move, unleashing the mighty strike she had been brewing for so long to block the Leviathan for Su Han.

Normally, a Heavenly Tribulation targets only the Tribulation Transcender, and others cannot interfere. Tongyan's technique, however, was different. She had turned the Destiny she had been condensing for many years into a beam of Destiny's Light, which enveloped Su Han.

At that moment, Su Han seemed to become a child of Destiny, invulnerable to all laws, untouchable by anyone. The way of Destiny is profoundly mysterious, but now, having obtained Destiny's Light, Su Han's luck was exceedingly good.

The Leviathan grazed past the Destiny's Light and slammed into the ground, creating a gigantic, deep pit. Shattered rock flew everywhere in a terrifying display.

Yet Su Han, standing right beside the point of impact, was completely unharmed.

Destiny's Light could evade anything.
