Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 551: Failure After Failure

Wearing the Ghostly Face Mask, Su Han’s aura became closer to that of the Demonic Emperor Physique. Demonic Qi swirled around him, and his demonic might overshadowed the world, making him resemble a youthful Demonic Emperor. Moreover, the Ghostly Face Mask greatly enhanced Su Han’s strength, allowing him to wield the power of the Supreme Realm Sixth Layer—a feat ordinary treasures could not offer.

Su Han had intentionally not worn it beforehand to launch a surprise attack. Now, he had succeeded. In a single blow, he had devoured the Ming Wang Physique, dealing a heavy blow to the Tian Lou Saint. Without his Physique, the Saint was unable to use any Divine Power Techniques. This had all been part of Su Han’s calculations.

"Divine Power Technique: Blossoming with One Thought!"

With the Tian Lou Saint injured, Su Han gave him no chance to catch his breath and heal. He swiftly employed another Divine Power Technique as the Shore Flower Clone reappeared.

"Cursing Killing Nether Technique!"

"Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!"

"Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction!"

"Heavier than Tai Mount!"

"Spiritual Freeze!"

The Shore Flower Clone, lacking the Ghostly Face Mask, only possessed the strength of the Supreme Realm Third Layer. However, Su Han’s strategy was for his Original Body to lead the attack while the Doppelganger provided support. Therefore, all Origin Techniques and Divine Methods were executed by the Shore Flower Clone. This strategy saved time and allowed him to seize the initiative.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A curse descended, a forbidden technique activated, gravitational force erupted, immense pressure bore down, and the target’s Divine Sense froze. The Tian Lou Saint was instantly struck by this barrage of Divine Methods. Even with his Vajra Holy Body, he couldn’t withstand so many attacks. His aura plummeted, and he grew weak.

"Origin Technique: Solar Force!"

At this moment, the sun was setting but had not yet sunk below the horizon. Su Han’s Original Body invoked the Origin Technique, bolstered by the power of the sun. Bathed in red sunlight, he resembled a Sun God descending upon the mortal world, majestic and dignified.

"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"

Gripping the Black Blade, Su Han once again employed the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. He summoned both Taiyi Golden Thunder and Purple Lightning Yin Thunder, intertwining the Yin Yang Thunder and unleashing a kilometer-long Thunder Dragon Saber Aura.

At this moment, aside from Demonization, Su Han was displaying his strongest state. He could not employ Demonization lightly; after all, one hundred thousand onlookers were present, all of them powerhouses from various major factions. In the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm, Evil Demons were universally condemned and feared even more than Demon Cultivators. Therefore, Su Han dared not expose himself, lest he be targeted by the world and face endless trouble.

"Energy Physique!"

Su Han’s attacks were like a violent tempest—fierce and powerful. The Tian Lou Saint, still reeling from the backlash, had no time to recover. He could only activate his Energy Physique, his flesh transforming into indestructible Vajra, becoming utterly hard and Yang.

CLANG!

He took the full force of the Thunder Dragon Saber Aura and was sent flying, crashing through the boulders on the peak of Holy Meteor Mountain and tumbling down the cliff.

"Vajra Pagoda Realm!"

The Tian Lou Saint quickly flew back up, creating a safe distance from Su Han. Suddenly, his body erupted with golden light as Spatial Force surged, forming his personal Domain. Within the golden Domain, nine golden stupa-pagodas emerged, suppressing all eight directions with infinite power.

"Vajra Indestructible!"

At the same time, the Tian Lou Saint used a Secret Technique from the Prajna Vajra Sutra. The wounds on his body began healing at a visible rate, returning to their original state in the blink of an eye. Vajra Indestructible was not an offensive or defensive ability but a Healing Secret Technique that could rapidly restore injuries. If cultivated to its peak, one could achieve the state of being Vajra Indestructible, attaining eternal existence.

"Tian Luo Holy Garb!"

"Buddha Stupa Holy Halberd!"

The Tian Lou Saint reached out, and the Buddha Stupa Holy Halberd was once again in his grasp. He also donned a set of dark-gold battle armor that emitted a cold, metallic sheen and was engraved with numerous Formation Patterns, granting it extremely high defensive power. At this moment, he had also revealed his strongest state, preparing for a fight to the death with Su Han.

"If I don’t kill you, I swear I am not a man!"

The Tian Lou Saint’s eyes were frigid, and his fighting will was like ice. His killing intent was palpable; he wished for nothing more than to tear Su Han to pieces.

He had never taken Su Han seriously, and this life-and-death duel was merely an excuse to eliminate him. But he had never expected Su Han to be so powerful, dealing him one setback after another. He harbored great ambition; the Great Emperor Realm was not his goal. He was determined to rule the world and dominate an era, and he refused to be suppressed any longer. He had to unleash his full strength and slay Su Han quickly to wash away this disgrace and prove his own invincibility.

"Kill!"

With his fighting spirit soaring, the Tian Lou Saint let out an enraged roar and charged toward Su Han, Buddha Stupa Holy Halberd in hand.

"Devouring Demonic Domain!"

Su Han’s expression remained unchanged, as cold as ever. Boosted by the Ghostly Face Mask, he expanded his Devouring Demonic Domain to six hundred meters. Wielding the Black Blade and employing his strongest defense, he and his Shore Flower Clone met the Tian Lou Saint’s charge.

BOOM!

The Devouring Demonic Domain collided with the Vajra Pagoda Realm. Golden light and black light each claimed half the sky in a cataclysmic battle that seemed to pit god against demon, threatening to destroy the world. The space atop Holy Meteor Mountain was riddled with cracks spreading in every direction. The horrifying Spatial Force formed a warped field that annihilated anything straying inside.

However, with the boost from the Ghostly Face Mask, Su Han’s Devouring Demonic Domain was more powerful than the Vajra Pagoda Realm. It immediately took the upper hand, suppressing and consuming its opponent. But the clash of Domains was just a prelude; the true killing intent lay with Su Han and the Tian Lou Saint themselves.

BOOM!

Like a torrent striking the heavens or a surging ocean, Su Han swung the Black Blade. Its blade aura cascaded like a waterfall as he relentlessly slashed at the Tian Lou Saint. Meanwhile, the Saint wielded the Buddha Stupa Holy Halberd, carving one lethal arc after another. His attacks split the very space they passed through, his might equally peerless.

"Nine Heavens Divine Light!"

Su Han’s glabella began to glow. His immense Divine Sense converged, shooting a golden beam of Nine Heavens Divine Light from his Nine Heavens Eye directly at the Tian Lou Saint.

"Hmph, Vajra Buddha Eye!"

The Tian Lou Saint also possessed a powerful Divine Sense Martial Technique. A light shone from between his brows, condensing into a peculiar Buddha Eye. Instantly, a golden Buddha Light shot out to collide with the Nine Heavens Divine Light. However, the Nine Heavens Divine Light was a Divine Method. Furthermore, with Su Han possessing one hundred and three Divine Sense Stellars, it was far more powerful. It quickly shattered the Buddha Light, injuring the Tian Lou Saint’s Divine Sense.

"Character Technique of Motion!"

Su Han employed the Character Technique of Motion, becoming faster than lightning. His movements were elusive and unpredictable, making him impossible for the Tian Lou Saint to track, let alone defend against. All the while, the Shore Flower Clone attacked relentlessly, unleashing various Origin Techniques and Divine Methods. These attacks weakened the Tian Lou Saint, leaving him unable to hold his ground.

"Divine Method: One Needle Draws Blood!"

Soon, Su Han spotted a flaw in the Tian Lou Saint’s defense and immediately used his newly acquired Divine Method without hesitation. A sliver of his soul condensed to form a Soul-Destroying Needle, which then shot out like a meteor and precisely struck the Tian Lou Saint’s glabella.

In an instant, the Vajra Buddha Eye was penetrated, and a stream of crimson blood flowed out.

"Ah!"

The Soul-Destroying Needle specialized in attacking the soul. Even if it wasn’t instantly lethal, it caused the Tian Lou Saint to cry out in agony as he plummeted from midair.

At this moment, the Tian Lou Saint had been defeated yet again and was now at a complete disadvantage.
