Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 233 - 220: Turmoil Begins

The Supreme Cave Mansion of the Black Scorpion Poison Venerable contained a Spirit Pool condensed from a Low Grade Spirit Vein, which Su Han had once enjoyed all to himself to successfully break through to the Phenomenon Realm.

But that Spirit Pool paled in comparison to this Spirit Marrow Pool. The difference between them was like that between the clouds and the mud.

As soon as Su Han entered the Spirit Marrow Pool, he felt his pores open automatically, like a starving ghost that hadn't eaten in a month, furiously swallowing and absorbing. Every single cell in his body rejoiced as if a long drought had finally met with refreshing rain.

"Awesome!" Su Han couldn't help but let out a groan of satisfaction. This was a hundred times more comfortable than soaking in a hot spring in winter.

If it weren't for the presence of the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable, he would have already used the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to accelerate his absorption rate.

Perhaps, this time I really have a chance to break through to the Physique Realm!

Su Han was pleasantly surprised. He had originally just been looking for an excuse, but he never expected the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable, in his anxiety for his son, would bring him directly to this most precious Spirit Marrow Pool.

With this entire pool of Spirit Marrow at his disposal, Su Han was confident he could achieve a breakthrough.

Seven Injuries Devil Honorable, you really are a good person!

RUMBLE!

Just then, a series of deafening booms echoed from outside, shaking the heavens and trembling the earth. Even though Su Han was deep within the Underground Spirit Vein, he could still clearly sense the tremors.

"Father, what has happened?" Su Han's eyes flashed with shock and suspicion as he quickly stood up. His heart, however, wasn't the least bit panicked. He knew the Tian Luo Net Seven Kills Formation had self-destructed, and the outside world was likely in complete chaos.

The Seven Injuries Devil Honorable released his Divine Sense, and his heart instantly sank. However, he did not suspect the Yin Ya Demon Lord before him was an imposter. "You stay here and cultivate properly," he instructed. "I will go out and take a look!"

With that, the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable swiftly departed, leaving Su Han completely alone.

Causing destruction and having a breakthrough at the same time... Seven Injuries Devil Honorable, you truly are my lucky star!

After the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable departed, Su Han cracked a smile. He immediately activated both the Myriad Encompassing Heavenly Attraction and the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to quicken his absorption rate. Simultaneously, he employed Ice-Fire Tempering to erase the hidden dangers left over from devouring Tian Yunshan.

While Su Han cultivated peacefully in the Spirit Marrow Pool, the Heavenly Demon Cult outside had already descended into utter chaos.

BOOM!

A thunderous roar, like the wrath of the thunder god, overwhelmed heaven and earth, turning everyone's faces deathly pale with unbearable pressure.

A gigantic mushroom cloud rose from the depths of the Heavenly Demon Cult, expanding rapidly. The terrifying shockwave was like a world-ending tsunami, sweeping across the land. It directly destroyed buildings and palaces, turning them into rubble. Many disciples were caught in the blast, their bodies exploding and killing them instantly before they could even scream.

"Run for your life! I don't want to die here!"

"What happened? Why is there such a huge explosion? Could it be an enemy invasion?"

"This is bad, we can't hold on! Let's run for it!"

Countless disciples fled in panic, cursing their parents for not giving them more legs.

The booms, the explosions, the mushroom cloud, the ruins, and the death all fused into a tableau of doomsday that shook the hearts and minds of all who witnessed it.

WHOOSH!

A deep blue streak of light shot out, and the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable appeared, standing tall in the void.

His gaze swept over the scene, and his eyes darkened ominously. An invisible fury erupted from within him, seeming to ignite the very air with its violent intensity.

The treasure vault!

As his eyes fell upon the location of the mushroom cloud, the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable's heart sank. He tore through space and teleported, praying that nothing had happened to the treasure vault.

When he arrived, another Dao Formation had just self-destructed. Its terrifying energy erupted like a volcano, shaking heaven and earth as countless spatial rifts snaked across the sky before mending themselves. The scene was horrifying.

The Tian Luo Net Seven Kills Formation?

The Seven Injuries Devil Honorable finally saw the source of the explosions. It was the very Tian Luo Net Seven Kills Formation that protected the treasure vault. His heart sank to the abyss.

Could the vault really be in trouble? This is the accumulation of the Heavenly Demon Cult over a thousand years. If there was a mishap, I would never be able to explain it to the Sect Leader.

"The Five Poisons Ghost-Eating Formation!"

Taking out the Sect Leader's Command, the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable rapidly activated the Sect Protection Great Formation. Instantly, tens of thousands of Formation Patterns materialized, quickly interweaving into a colossal array.

Within the Great Formation, five figures formed of Formation Patterns appeared: a centipede, a venomous snake, a scorpion, a gecko, and a toad. These were the infamous Five Poisons, the core of the Five Poisons Ghost-Eating Formation.

"Suppress!"

Holding the Sect Leader's Command, the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable directed the array. The apparitions of the Five Poisons howled and flew towards the Tian Luo Net Seven Kills Formation, suppressing the three remaining Dao Formations that had not yet detonated.

The Seven Injuries Devil Honorable then swiftly passed through the Formation Patterns and entered the vault.

Soon, he arrived in the treasury space. The sight of its complete emptiness made his vision blur, and he almost fainted on the spot.

It's over! It's completely over!

Despair filled the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable's heart. The Heavenly Demon Cult's accumulation of over a thousand years... stolen. Not a single item was left. And this happened on my watch! When the Sect Leader returns, I won't be able to escape the blame. Even if I'm not executed, I'll spend the rest of my life in solitary confinement.

"Who is it? Who has the audacity to sneak into my Heavenly Demon Cult to steal!"

A towering rage exploded from within the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable. The surrounding space couldn't withstand it and began to crack under the pressure. The scene was terrifying.

It's too late for regrets. The only thing I can do is catch the thief and retrieve the treasures. Only then can I atone for my failure and lessen my guilt. Since the intruder snuck in, their strength can't be overwhelming. But to bypass both the Five Poisons Ghost-Eating Formation and the Tian Luo Net Seven Kills Formation, and even cause the latter to self-destruct, means they must be an Array Master with profound skill. Perhaps the thief is a Heavenly King Realm Array Master!

Based on the clues, the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable quickly established a profile for his target.

WHOOSH!

He flew out of the vault and, using the Sect Leader's Command, pushed the Five Poisons Ghost-Eating Formation to its limit. Even more Formation Patterns materialized, and the toxic miasma from the Marsh of Poisons was rapidly drawn in to empower the array. A dense, poisonous fog enveloped the entire Heavenly Demon Cult as the power of the Five Poisons Ghost-Eating Formation was elevated to that of a Supreme Grade Dao Formation.

"The thief is still within the sect! Everyone, stand still! Do not move! Violators will be executed!"

The voice of the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable boomed across the heavens, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

The surviving disciples immediately froze, daring not to make a single move. They knew something major had happened, and if they disobeyed now, the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable would not hesitate to kill.

"Little thief, once I catch you, I will flay you, rip out your tendons, and throw you into the poison pits to let you taste the agony of purgatory!"

His eyes surging with raging fury and overflowing hatred, the Seven Injuries Devil Honorable began to search the sect extensively, vowing to find the culprit.

However, he had no idea that the very person he wanted to flay alive had already been personally escorted by him into the Spirit Marrow Pool. At this moment, Su Han was not only safe and sound but was also in the process of breaking through to the Physique Realm.
