Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 269 - 256: Stepping on the Proud Sons of Heaven

At this moment, Zi Qiong's mind was filled with a singular thought: Kill Su Han and tear his body into thousands of pieces!

BOOM!

The aura of the Divine Power Realm's Seventh Layer burst forth, sweeping across all directions and causing countless people to pale.

"Not good!"

Leiming was the first to react and immediately moved to stop the duel.

"Don't be hasty, Junior Brother Lei. Let's wait and see," Ye Chuanfeng said, holding Leiming back. Although he didn't want anything to happen to Su Han, Zi Qiong was now in a berserk state, and intervening would surely offend her deeply. Between the two, Ye Chuanfeng naturally favored Zi Qiong. He would not offend her, even if it meant Su Han's ruin.

While Leiming wanted to step in and save Su Han, Qin Wushuang and the others couldn't wait to see him killed.

"Good, kill him quickly!"

Wang Tianqing, the Great Qian King, the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign, Qin Wushuang, and the others stretched their necks, their eyes full of expectation, eager to witness Su Han's death—a scene they had dreamed of.

Enraged, Zi Qiong grasped the Earth Thunder Dao Sword. With a loud cry, her entire being shone with a brilliant purple light, like a bolt of purple lightning that suddenly ripped through the sky, charging straight for Su Han.

However, although she had unsealed her cultivation, the actual improvement wasn't particularly outrageous. Her Electric Mother Physique had been shattered by Su Han and could not be re-condensed in a short time. Without it, she couldn't use her Divine Skills, significantly reducing the advantages of the Divine Power Realm.

Furthermore, she was battered all over by Su Han's attacks. Even with her cultivation unsealed, her injuries had not lessened, and some wounds were still oozing blood.

Without her Electric Mother Physique and covered in wounds, Zi Qiong was only stronger than Su Han in terms of Spiritual Energy after unsealing her cultivation. She was far from unstoppable.

"Earth Rank High Level Martial Technique: Minor Thunder Sound Swordsmanship!"

As Zi Qiong furiously approached, the Earth Thunder Dao Sword slashed violently downwards. Instantly, thunderous notes filled the heavens and earth like a melody, accompanied by countless strands of Thunder Sound Sword Qi. They fell like rain on banana leaves, all aimed at Su Han, each strand sharp enough to slice through metal and utterly unstoppable.

Unleashed with the Spiritual Energy of the Divine Power Realm's Seventh Layer, the swordsmanship's true might was finally on full display. At this moment, thousands of Thunder Sound Sword Qi crisscrossed the heavens like a torrential downpour, leaving Su Han nowhere to hide.

This strike was far stronger than any before.

"Ghostly Face Mask!"

Su Han didn't dodge or retreat. He reached out and donned the enigmatic Ghostly Face Mask, which sported an expression that was neither crying nor laughing.

Immediately, the cold Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi surged into his limbs and bones, causing Su Han's aura to soar.

Physique Realm Second Layer!

Physique Realm Third Layer!

Physique Realm Fourth Layer!

He had broken through three realms in succession, becoming immensely powerful.

Not only that, Su Han still retained the state of Physique Fusion. The Ghostly Face Mask was like the finishing touch on a masterpiece, elevating the domineering aura of a demon emperor who commanded darkness and stood unopposed through the ages to its absolute peak.

At this moment, Su Han wore the Ghostly Face Mask. Clad in fluttering black garments with his black hair flying wildly, he exuded a dense Demonic Qi. Ten Black Hole phantoms encircled him. He looked like the sovereign of the Dark World, the Demon Lord of all living beings.

Powerful, mysterious, and terrifying. Such a version of Su Han made everyone present feel a tremor in their hearts, not even excepting Ye Chuanfeng of the Supreme Realm's Ninth Layer or the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign.

"What is this?"

The Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign stared at Su Han in astonishment. He felt that Su Han was more of a Demon Cultivator than he was. The comparison between them was like that of an ant to a True Dragon. No matter how powerful an ant is, it remains an ant. A True Dragon, no matter how weak, is still a True Dragon!

With the Black Blade in hand, the Demonic Blade now emitted a dazzling black radiance. It was thick with Demonic Qi that morphed into various snarling and clawing phantoms, as if Hell itself had surfaced.

"Slash!"

Su Han gripped the Black Blade. He didn't use the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes or any other Sword Technique. He simply slashed down.

Instantly, the Black Blade became a pitch-black rift that tore through space and time, severing the river of years.

With a single strike, the Thunder Sound Sword Qi was extinguished. Zi Qiong's Minor Thunder Sound Swordsmanship failed again, disintegrating into ash before it could even approach Su Han, leaving nothing behind.

At this moment, Su Han was in a state of Physique Fusion, enhanced by the Ghostly Face Mask. This complete fusion caused his Combat Power to skyrocket, making him comparable to a Martial Artist at the Sixth or Seventh Layer of the Physique Realm.

In contrast, Zi Qiong's Electric Mother Physique had collapsed and her body was riddled with wounds. Although she had unsealed her cultivation, her overall strength was not much greater than Su Han's.

"Character Technique of Motion!"

With a single step, Su Han vanished. He was like a phantom, elusive and incomprehensible. By the time Zi Qiong reacted, Su Han had already appeared behind her.

This Character Technique of Motion was acquired from the Ghostly Face Mask. In his current state of complete fusion, Su Han could wield the technique's profound power even more effectively. It was as unpredictable as deities and spirits, unstoppable even by the passage of time.

SHIINK! 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Su Han slashed again. The pitch-black blade light became a rift in spacetime, capable of sundering the universe.

"Not good!"

The hairs on Zi Qiong's body stood on end as she sensed an unprecedented mortal crisis. Daring not to be careless, she channeled all her Purple Lightning Yin Thunder into the Earth Thunder Dao Sword, desperately trying to block the strike.

However, Su Han used the Character Technique of Motion again. His figure flickered and reappeared in another position, from where he immediately slashed down again.

The Character Technique of Motion was overwhelmingly powerful; it represented the ultimate speed in the world. Before, Su Han had only a rudimentary grasp of it, at Entry Level, not even reaching minor proficiency. But now, thanks to the perfect state of Physique Fusion, he had elevated the technique to the minor proficiency realm. He was utterly unpredictable.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Su Han struck continuously while Zi Qiong could only defend in a fluster. The clash of their weapons was a sharp, ear-piercing din that threatened to split one's skull.

It was clear to everyone that Su Han was striking with ease. In contrast, Zi Qiong was in constant retreat with her aura in chaos. She was barely hanging on.

"AAAHHH! I'll fight you with everything I have!"

Unwilling to accept such a humiliating defeat, Zi Qiong was seething with uncontrollable fury. She reached toward her Storage Ring, and a surge of Holy Might erupted from within. She was actually trying to use the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda.

It was a Holy Artifact. Even if she couldn't truly activate it, a mere wisp of its Holy Might was enough to kill a genius or annihilate a city.

"Slash!"

Su Han's expression was unchanged. The eyes visible behind the mask were filled with coldness and indifference. The Black Blade flashed like lightning and struck again. It sliced precisely into Zi Qiong's arm, nearly severing it and stopping her from retrieving the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda.

"Another slash!"

Su Han's hand rose and fell. The Black Blade, suffused with a Demonic Nature, was like the Grim Reaper's scythe—cold, merciless, and unstoppable as it harvested lives.

SQUELCH!

Zi Qiong's back was struck, and blood gushed from the gruesome, shocking wound.

"A third slash!"

A sharp glint flashed in Su Han's eyes. The Black Blade fell again, its edge gleaming with a terrifying, irresistible light. It broke through the defense of the Earth Thunder Dao Sword and struck Zi Qiong's body squarely.

This time, Zi Qiong was sent flying. She crashed heavily to the ground, coughing up mouthfuls of blood as her Earth Thunder Dao Sword flew from her grasp. Her defeat could not have been more absolute.

Su Han appeared before her. He planted a foot on her body, his voice like ice.

"Now you tell me, what is 'hierarchy'?"
