Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 261 - 248: Overestimating Oneself

His physical body was no match, and his Physique had been devoured. Su Tian's defeat was becoming obvious, an outcome no one had foreseen.

In terms of physical strength, Su Tian had acquired the Supreme Corpse, which had achieved the Great Accomplishment of the Sacred Body. In terms of Realm, he was at the Sixth Layer of the Physique Realm, five levels higher than Su Han. At first, no one was optimistic about Su Han's chances, yet in the end, it was Su Tian who was so thoroughly defeated. It was utterly inconceivable!

Su Tian clutched his chest, his face pale and his expression incredibly grim as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Rage and frustration practically overflowed from his eyes.

"You lowly bastard, born of a mere palace maid! What right do you have to compete with me? You should have offered up your Dragon Soul and then gone off to die! I want revenge! I want retribution! I want to kill you!"

Su Tian completely lost control. The coercive might of a Supreme erupted from his body like a volcano, stirring the wind and clouds and distorting the very space around him. It was a terrifying sight. At that moment, his features twisted and his expression turned savage, like a Fierce Ghost crawling out of Hell, determined to destroy all living things.

WHOOSH!

With a reach of his hand, Su Tian retrieved a Demonic Blade from his Storage Ring. It was a broad, heavy blade, upon which a dense Evil Qi had condensed, tinged with a sinister poison that made it ominous and terrifying. This was the Yin-Poison Demonic Blade, a Superior Grade Dao Artifact forged in imitation of the Ghost Poison Knife. It was not only incomparably hard and sharp, but it also contained Yin Evil Qi and a Deadly Poison. A mere scratch could be fatal, and even a light touch would cause injury. The Heavenly Demon Cult had truly spared no expense this time, providing Su Tian with exceptionally powerful treasures.

"Ferocious Fiend Three Blades, First Form: Evil Tide!"

Gritting his teeth, Su Tian gripped the Yin-Poison Demonic Blade and poured a surge of Spiritual Energy into it. The blade immediately began to tremble, emitting a demonic hum that pierced everyone's ears, making them feel as if their heads were being split by an axe. Su Tian had directly unleashed the Heaven Rank Martial Technique taught to him by the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign. Although he had only mastered the first form, its power was comparable to an Earth Rank High-Level Martial Technique. Augmented by the Yin-Poison Demonic Blade, the power of this attack was unimaginable.

"You lowly bastard, die!"

Holding the Yin-Poison Demonic Blade, Su Tian's entire Aura became cold and treacherous, making him seem even more like a Demon Cultivator than Su Han, who actually practiced Demonic Techniques.

CRACK!

A single slash from the blade split the air. Even space itself trembled violently as a hairline spatial rift was torn open. A boundless tide of Evil Qi concentrated on the blade's light, forming a sky-obscuring wave of malevolence. This violent, relentless tide surged forward, seemingly poised to destroy everything in its path. This attack was horrifyingly fearsome, causing the color to drain from the faces of countless onlookers. It seemed powerful enough to destroy a city and slaughter a million souls. At that moment, all eyes were fixated on Su Han, wondering if he could maintain his undefeated streak in the face of such a terrifying blow.

"How can the glow of a firefly compete with the brilliance of the moon?"

Su Han remained calm and unafraid. He reached out, and the Black Blade appeared in his hand. Though this Black Blade was only a Magic Artifact and lacked the Dao Rhyme found in Dao Artifacts, its material was unique, making it unbreakable and exceptionally sharp.

"Fourth Form: Heavenly Lightning Strike!"

Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi poured into the blade as Su Han executed the fourth form of the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes. This technique could summon the thunderbolts of heaven and earth, a powerful killing move designed to slay demons and suppress heretical paths. Pointing the Black Blade toward the sky, he caused thunderclouds to gather densely overhead, heralding the imminent arrival of a thunderstorm.

"Slash!"

Su Han brought the blade down, its power amplified by the Combat Character Secret. As the Black Blade fell, an immensely bright and terrifying bolt of Thunder Light descended from the sky. As if drawn by the blade, it stretched five hundred meters long. The bolt resembled a thunder dragon carrying the destructive might of the heavens as it slashed boldly toward the tide of evil blade light.

RUMBLE!

As the two blade auras collided, powerful shockwaves rolled outward in endless undulations. Evil Qi and Thunder Light intertwined and surged against each other—one Yin, one Yang, clashing with the force of water against fire. Space itself was torn apart by this strike. A web of fine spatial rifts appeared one after another, and the violent shockwaves surged like a world-ending tide.

The entire Qingmo City was enveloped in these wild shockwaves. The city walls crumbled, houses collapsed, the ground split open, and countless Martial Artists were caught in the blast, spewing blood and suffering grave injuries. If not for the many powerful experts within Qingmo City who resisted most of the battle's fluctuations, the city would have suffered heavy casualties, a testament to the terrifying power of this single clash.

Both the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes and the Ferocious Fiend Three Blades were Heaven Rank Martial Techniques. However, Su Han had immersed himself in his technique for far longer. His proficiency was higher, his blade technique neared Great Accomplishment, and he had the enhancement from the Combat Character Secret. Su Tian's half-baked mastery stood no chance in comparison.

CRACK!

The five-hundred-meter bolt of Thunder Light tore through the Evil Tide. Without losing momentum, it roared forth like a thunder dragon, charging directly at Su Tian.

Su Tian's expression changed drastically. He quickly raised his blade to defend, but Su Han gave him no such opportunity.

WHOOSH!

Executing the Character Technique of Motion, Su Han's speed increased tenfold. He transformed into a streak of light, swiftly passing through the battle's aftershocks. He actually caught up to his own thunderous blade aura, appearing before Su Tian at almost the exact same moment.

"Not good!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Seeing the thunderous blade aura and Su Han arrive simultaneously, Su Tian's pupils shrank as an overwhelming sense of crisis washed over him. He frantically activated the Five-Poison Set he was wearing. Instantly, the black robe, boots, and other items began to glow, projecting Five-Poison Phantoms around his body. These phantoms were incredibly lifelike, suffused with a toxic Dao Rhyme. A single wisp was capable of destroying an entire forest, making them extremely terrifying.

"Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens!"

Seeing Su Tian's Five-Poison Set, Su Han's expression remained unchanged. He acted swiftly, and a cluster of three-colored flames and a cloud of three-colored cold qi appeared. During his recent cultivation, he had further elevated his True Flame and Cold Nether Qi. Now, his Samadhi True Fire and Triple Chilling Nether Qi merged, forming a six-petaled Ice-Fire Lotus.

The Ice-Fire Lotus exploded. Its devastating power instantly tore the Five-Poison Phantoms to shreds and slammed fiercely into Su Tian, forcing him to experience the agony of the Ice-Fire Sixth Layer Heavens.

"Body Binding Technique!"

"Blinding Technique!"

"Silencing Technique!"

At the same time, Su Han's Divine Sense surged outward as he quickly employed the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method. Now that his Divine Sense had condensed into a star, it was far stronger than before, making the minor Divine Prohibitions he cast even more powerful.

Instantly, Su Tian felt his entire body stiffen, unable to move. His vision went pitch black, and his ears could no longer hear a single sound. An intangible fear gripped his heart like a giant hand. He felt as if he were staring directly into the abyss of death.

Meanwhile, the thunderous blade aura finally reached him and struck. By this point, his Five-Poison Set had been shattered, and he was completely immobilized and powerless to resist. The Thunder Light descended, carving a horrifying, bone-deep wound into his body that nearly split him in two.

Su Tian was sent flying backward, a spray of blood arcing across the sky as he crashed into Qingmo City.

RUMBLE!

The city walls collapsed from the impact, burying his figure under a cloud of dust and smoke.

Witnessing this scene, everyone was utterly dumbfounded. Su Tian had lost, just like that?
