Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 142: Supreme Cave Mansion

Yun Mokong felt the urge to throw his head back and let out a triumphant howl.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. In the very end, this most crucial Yin Blood Demon Pill has still fallen into my hands. This feeling... how could a single word like ’satisfying’ even begin to describe it!

At the moment of the Yinsha Junior Demon Lord’s death, his mood had been incredibly gloomy. Jealousy had driven him to ambush Su Han, so he used Shape-Shifting Shadow at the critical moment to make Su Han face the Yin River Ghostly Kill head-on.

However, he had not rejoiced for long before both he and Tongyan were defeated, falling into a dire situation once again. Yet, in this predicament, it was Su Han who acted, mounting a comeback from the brink to counter-kill the Xuanyin Junior Demon Lord. This sent Yun Mokong’s spirits plummeting to the abyss. He envied Su Han, hated Su Han, and resented Su Han. He wished he could flay him, crush his bones, and scatter his ashes.

But he held himself back, waiting for an opportunity.

Finally, his chance arrived. While Su Han was striking down the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord, Yun Mokong was already brewing his Origin Technique. Using the last dregs of his spiritual energy, he once again performed Shape-Shifting Shadow and successfully obtained the Yin Blood Demon Pill he had long dreamed of.

"Su Han, thank you for killing the Bloodthirsty Junior Demon Lord and doing all the hard work for me," Yun Mokong burst into triumphant laughter, glancing back to taunt him. "To show my gratitude, I’ll kill you with my own hands after I refine the Yin Blood Demon Pill!"

With that, his figure flickered, and he quickly fled. His spiritual energy was nearly depleted, leaving him with no combat power to withstand both Su Han and Tongyan. His priority was to escape, find a safe location to heal and recover, and then refine the Yin Blood Demon Pill. With it, he might even have a slim chance to break through to the Physique Realm.

If the breakthrough is successful, then Qian Xuan will have to give up the top spot on the Qingyun Ranking to me!

Yun Mokong was exultant, feeling a bright future ahead of him, while Su Han and Tongyan, still within the formation, had incredibly grim expressions.

"Yun Mokong, you despicable scoundrel!" Tongyan quickly moved to Su Han’s side and had him take out the Thunder Light Treasure Ship to give chase.

After all their painstaking efforts, how could they let Yun Mokong just snatch the prize? A despicable scoundrel like him deserved retribution.

Su Han remained silent, taking Healing Pills and Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring to rapidly recover from his injuries and restore his spiritual energy. Yun Mokong’s repeated provocations had filled him with a cold killing intent. As he stared at Yun Mokong’s retreating figure, his murderous aura was bone-chilling.

"The angrier you are, the happier I am!" Yun Mokong taunted. As he fled, he took out pills to heal his injuries. He knew that as long as he reached any city, he could use his status as the Crown Prince to order others to block Tongyan and Su Han. Then, he would be as free as a bird in the sky.

Proud and smug, Yun Mokong failed to notice a pitch-black spatial rift suddenly appearing in the air before him. The rift materialized without any warning, gaping open like a monstrous maw. Utterly unprepared, Yun Mokong plunged headfirst into it and vanished from sight.

"Not good!" Tongyan’s expression changed. She hastily controlled the Thunder Light Treasure Ship, trying to avoid the spatial rift. But at that moment, a powerful suction force surged out, enveloping the treasure ship and pulling Tongyan and Su Han, along with the vessel, inside.

Their vision was consumed by pure darkness, surrounded by howling winds and terrifying fluctuations. After an unknown amount of time passed, the scene changed abruptly. The world spun, and Su Han found himself in a vast, empty hall.

The hall was spacious and majestic, with towering pillars holding up the ceiling. Yet, it was utterly desolate. Aside from the supportive pillars, there was no furniture—not even a table or a chair. However, directly opposite Su Han stood nine stone doors. Eight were smaller, while the one in the center was the largest, standing ten meters high. All of the doors were inscribed with shimmering Formation Patterns that fluctuated with intense energy, making it clear they could not be easily opened.

"What is this place?" Su Han wondered, his expression puzzled as he spread his divine sense to guard against any danger.

The sudden appearance of the spatial rift, this desolate and vast mysterious hall, and nine stone doors covered in Formation Patterns... All of it felt highly unusual.

Besides Su Han, Tongyan and Yun Mokong were also in the hall. They had now awakened, and upon seeing the mysterious chamber, looks of astonishment and doubt appeared on their faces as well.

Tongyan activated her Qi Observation Technique. Her gaze swept the hall as she exclaimed, "There’s Demon Qi! No, wait... there’s also Demonic Qi! And poison gas!"

Demon Qi, Demonic Qi, and poison gas were all mixed together, pervading the entire hall. While the mixture was not dense, staying here for a long time would still cause harm and inflict serious injury.

"There’s actually the aura of a Supreme being here! This place is a Supreme Cave Mansion!" Tongyan, being well-traveled and knowledgeable, quickly deduced the origin of the hall.

Heavenly King Realm powerhouses could touch upon Spatial Force, which enabled them to use teleportation. Supreme Realm powerhouses, however, could control a region of space and form their own unique Domain, like Leiming’s Destruction Thunder Domain or Qin Wushuang’s Heavenly Gang Wind Domain. Beyond that, Supreme Realm experts could carve out a pocket of space within the Void to build a cave mansion. This was a common practice, as mansions in the outside world were easily discovered. In contrast, a mansion in the Void was not only concealed but also generally inaccessible to ordinary people.

Supreme Cave Mansions, Saint Secret Realms, and Great Emperor’s Void Realms were all renowned existences within the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm. After many powerhouses fell, their mansions and secret realms would be discovered for various reasons. Lucky individuals who stumbled upon them and obtained their legacy could skyrocket to greatness, becoming formidable powers in their own right. Such stories were common in the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm.

Looking at the hall, Tongyan was now seventy to eighty percent certain that this was a rare Supreme Cave Mansion. Its desolate state probably meant that the Supreme Realm expert who created it had already perished, indicating that the mansion was now ownerless.

For them, this was an incredible stroke of luck! The death of the Supreme who had created it likely caused the mansion’s power to weaken, making its space unstable and inadvertently opening the spatial rift through which they had all fallen.

"There are rumors within my Tiayun Dynasty of a Supreme Cave Mansion left behind by the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable. I always thought it was just a legend, but to think it’s actually true!" At this moment, Yun Mokong also came to this realization. As the Crown Prince of the Tiayun Dynasty, he knew even more about such matters.

The Black Scorpion Poison Venerable? Su Han’s heart skipped a beat. Wasn’t the Supreme Arm that Qin Wushuang had integrated into Qian Yuan from the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable? It was said that the man had committed innumerable evils and was hunted to his death by several Supreme beings. To think that his cave mansion remained and that the three of them had stumbled upon it.

What a coincidence!

However, Su Han was not in a hurry to explore the Supreme Cave Mansion. His hand shot out, grasping the Black Blade, and he lunged toward Yun Mokong.

My hatred will never be appeased until I kill you!
