Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 198: Leaving the Cave Abode
Su Han gasped for air, cold sweat pouring down like rain and soaking his clothes.
But the weight on his chest finally lifted. The threat of the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable was gone, and he was now truly safe. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"Xiao Han, quickly take this Jade Dew Elixir!"
Seeing Su Han awaken, Lu Yunxian quickly took out a Healing Dao Pill. Liu Rumei had given it to her for life-threatening emergencies, yet she gave it to Su Han without reservation.
Su Han didn’t hesitate. Only by recovering could he better protect Fairy Sister Yun Xian.
As the Elixir entered his stomach, it immediately transformed into a stream of pure medicinal power and warmth that circulated through his limbs, rapidly repairing his damaged organs and meridians.
With his Sacred Body already formidable and now nourished by the Jade Dew Elixir, Su Han’s injuries were soon about seventy to eighty percent healed, although the wound on his right hand remained a grisly sight.
"Fairy Sister Yun Xian, I’m all right now," Su Han said with a smile to comfort Lu Yunxian. He reached out to retrieve the fallen Black Blade and then glanced at the Black Gold Puppet.
The Black Gold Puppet was already deformed, twisted and bent like a piece of scrap iron that had been hammered repeatedly. However, it had been forged from millennium-old earth metal and contained rich Golden Spirit Energy. It was decent Spirit Gold, useful for tempering the Great Luo Golden Bone.
Not wanting to waste it, Su Han stored it inside his Bronze Ring. At this point, the grand hall was completely empty.
As for the so-called inherited Supreme Treasure, it had already entered Su Han’s sea of consciousness. After devouring and refining the Remnant Soul of the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable, he had obtained the Venerable’s cultivation technique. It was a Poison Skill named the Myriad Poison Heavenly Demon Technique, which used poison for cultivation and wielded immense power. However, Su Han naturally had no interest in such a technique. He could sell it to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. The rich spiritual power contained in the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s Remnant Soul, however, did allow Su Han’s Divine Sense to be elevated once more.
In Su Han’s sea of consciousness, his dense Divine Sense formed a huge, sparkling stellar nebula that rotated slowly. Previously, this nebula was merely mist-like and lacked a solid form. But as he devoured the Remnant Soul of the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable, his Divine Sense condensed, the nebula compressed, and it finally transformed into a Divine Sense Stellar!
A nebula is just a wandering cloud of gas and dust, not a true star. While Su Han’s Divine Sense had been strong before, it had only been able to form a nebula. Now, however, it had automatically condensed into a Divine Sense Stellar.
My Divine Sense has tripled in strength!
After briefly sensing the change, Su Han was pleasantly surprised. The Remnant Soul of the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable was indeed extraordinary, far richer than his own Divine Sense. Not only had he acquired two Superior Grade elixirs, but his Divine Sense had also increased. It was a bountiful gain indeed.
Moreover, he had also obtained the millennium Wood Crystal and the Dragon Blood Three-Leaf Clover. His mission was a complete success.
I feel my Sacred Body has stabilized. Once I get back, I can finally devour Qian Xuan’s Stellar Magnetism Primordial Body. I had to keep his corpse preserved because of the previous hidden danger, but now that threat is gone. My Sacred Body has achieved Crystallization and is even more condensed. It’s time to grow stronger.
However, all of this would have to wait until he returned, as this place was not safe. Any disturbance or discovery could spell major trouble.
RUMBLE! RUMBLE!
Just then, the entire Supreme Cave Mansion began to shake violently, as if struck by an earthquake, becoming highly unstable.
This Supreme Cave Mansion was previously controlled by the Remnant Soul of the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable. Now that the Remnant Soul has vanished, the mansion has become unstable. We must leave quickly, or we’ll be sucked into the Void and face certain death!
With a flash of brilliance in his eyes, Su Han made a swift decision. He took Lu Yunxian and the unconscious Ning Feifan out of the grand hall and retraced their steps.
At this time, many Martial Artists were still struggling within the Nine Curves Labyrinth Formation, completely unable to find their way out, while the Bronze Puppets were on a merciless slaughter, leaving a trail of corpses. However, a few lucky ones managed to escape the Great Formation and return to the previous grand hall.
When Su Han’s group of three arrived, two to three hundred people had already gathered there, all of them injured and wearing grim expressions.
The crowd broke into a panicked discussion.
"The mansion is unstable, and the space is turbulent! It’s not safe to stay here long. If we don’t get out now, we never will!"
"Damn it! I haven’t gotten anything yet! I’m not willing to leave like this!"
"What good is being unwilling? Your life is more important! Let’s get out of here!"
Everyone began flying toward the entrance passage.
"Fairy Sister Yun Xian, let’s go too!"
Holding the unconscious Ning Feifan with one hand and Lu Yunxian’s delicate hand with the other, Su Han followed the crowd toward the passage.
All four deadly threats have been resolved. I’ve obtained the Dragon Blood Three-Leaf Clover and even acquired treasures like the Rotting Poison Pearl and a Black Gold Puppet. This has been an immense haul.
Soon, the figures of the three disappeared into the passage. Behind them, the Supreme Cave Mansion began to shake even more violently, its tremors punctuated by the sound of roaring explosions.
「Outside」
Thunder, Toad Poison Venerable, and the others stood waiting quietly in the air.
"The space is stirring. Something must have happened inside. It seems likely someone has obtained the inherited Supreme Treasure!"
Liu Rumei’s dull old eyes flashed with a keen light. As a Supreme Realm expert, her senses were highly acute to spatial fluctuations, and she had noticed them the moment they appeared.
"No need to guess. It must be the Blood Poison Little Demon Lord. Who else is worthy of receiving the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable’s inherited Supreme Treasure?" Toad Poison Venerable grinned, his mouth stretching almost to the back of his head, his face filled with confidence.
The Blood Poison Little Demon Lord was already the top prodigy of the Heavenly Demon Cult. He was powerful, skilled, and aided by the Ghost Taming Little Demon Lord. Moreover, before they had arrived, he had informed the prodigy of the situation inside the Supreme Cave Mansion. With such an innate advantage, the inherited Supreme Treasure was surely his for the taking.
"Don’t get too cocky, or your joy might turn to sorrow," Thunder snorted coldly, though his heart was filled with worry.
The Blood Poison Little Demon Lord and the Ghost Taming Little Demon Lord are indeed strong. Su Han alone would be hard-pressed to deal with them, and the help Lu Yunxian and Ning Feifan could provide is limited. I don’t care about the inherited Supreme Treasure, and it doesn’t matter if they get the Dragon Blood Three-Leaf Clover. I just hope the three of them return safely.
"Someone is coming out!" Tian Yunshan’s gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the spatial vortex. He had sent General Wei Yuan inside this time to kill Su Han and avenge his son, so he was desperate to know the outcome.
SWOOSH!
A figure flew out of the spatial vortex, but it was just an ordinary Martial Artist, not who everyone was anticipating.
"I finally escaped! That place was terrifying! I’m never going back there again!" The Martial Artist was pale-faced and still in shock, and he quickly distanced himself from the spatial vortex.
Soon after, more figures emerged, causing Thunder and the others to look on anxiously.
SWISH!
Finally, Su Han and his two companions emerged, bringing a look of joy to the faces of Thunder and Liu Rumei, while the expressions of Toad Poison Venerable and Tian Yunshan darkened.
He actually survived!
