Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 335 - 322: Jie Character Secret
Blossoming with One Thought, Reigning Supreme Over the World!
This was the Divine Power Technique of the Cruel Demon Emperor, now awakened by Su Han. The most terrifying aspect of this Divine Skill lay in its ability to continuously produce Black Netherworld Flowers, giving birth to one doppelganger after another. A single Black Netherworld Flower could condense a doppelganger with the same strength as the Original Body. If there were ten, a hundred, or a thousand, the scene would be simply unimaginable. With a single punch from Su Han, a thousand doppelgangers struck at the same time, their punches stacking together to blast apart the sun and moon. This was something beyond the imagination of mere mortals. Of course, at this moment, aside from Su Han himself, no one knew the terrifying nature of this Divine Skill.
To create the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, and then to invent such a frightening Divine Skill on top of it… what kind of extraordinary and stunning existence was the Cruel Demon Emperor? The more he cultivated, the more astonished he became.
The main reason Su Han had achieved his present success was the inheritance from the Cruel Demon Emperor. The Prison Divine Palace, the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, and the Ghostly Face Mask were his greatest trump cards. Initially, he thought the Cruel Demon Emperor might be a demon god of the Divine Spirit Level, but now it seemed his own limited perspective had constrained his imagination.
I wonder if my doppelgangers will still possess the same strength as my Original Body after I break through to the Heavenly King Realm or the Supreme Realm. This Divine Skill was too heaven-defying. Su Han dared not imagine how terrifying it would be if there were no limits.
However, those were concerns for the future. For now, having absorbed all the True Dragon Essence Blood from the blood pool, Su Han had finally broken through to the First Layer of the Divine Power Realm. Not only had his realm advanced, but his combat power had also seen a substantial increase.
The Divine Skill he had just obtained needed no further mention. His Sacred Body had also touched upon the stage of Great Accomplishment. With just one special condition, he could strive for the Great Achievement of the Holy Body and join the ranks of the top prodigies.
Of course, that wasn't all. A breakthrough into a new Great Realm would bring Su Han a bonus: another of the Nine Secrets from the Ghostly Face Mask. So far, he had acquired four of the Nine Secrets: the Character Technique of Motion, the Secret of the Battle Character, the Secret of the Soldier Character, and the Secret of Healer. Although he was only at the entry level for these secret techniques, they had already given him tremendous help. With this latest breakthrough, Su Han was curious about which secret technique he would receive next.
With this in mind, Su Han eagerly pulled out the Ghostly Face Mask and placed it on his face. Immediately, a cold Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi flowed through his limbs and bones, rendering his aura dark and frigid. At the same time, a familiar and incredibly complex stream of information appeared in his sea of consciousness. But having experience receiving the Nine Secrets, Su Han quickly adapted and obtained the fifth secret technique.
[Jie Character Secret: One of the Nine Secrets, representing the pinnacle of combat power. It can instantaneously increase combat power tenfold, but its activation rate is unpredictable!]
This time, Su Han had obtained the Jie Character Secret. The prospect of increasing his combat power tenfold was incredibly tempting, but the final clause about the unpredictable activation rate made him frown. Upon further thought, however, it made sense. If he could increase his combat power tenfold every time he used it, this secret technique would be far too heaven-defying, vastly surpassing the power of the other secrets. Though the activation rate was unpredictable, the chance to gain tenfold combat power upon a successful trigger was a temptation no one could refuse.
Su Han quickly read through the method for using the Jie Character Secret. The Nine Secrets were not cultivation or martial techniques, so they were not difficult to get started with. Mastering them, however, was extremely challenging. Even with the Character Technique of Motion, which he had obtained first, Su Han had still only reached a minor level of achievement.
While Su Han was immersed in cultivating the Jie Character Secret, Xiao Tian and Jing Yun had already recovered from some of their injuries outside the blood pool. At this moment, however, they were not fighting each other. Instead, they approached the blood pool from both sides, eager to discover what was happening. The True Dragon Essence Blood within the pool was their objective for this expedition, and now that a phenomenon was occurring, they naturally wanted to investigate its cause. Wary of each other and cautious of any potential danger from within the blood pool, they both approached with extreme care.
Eventually, the two arrived at the edge of the blood pool. Looking down, they saw Su Han's figure. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Su Han? How is this possible!"
Xiao Tian's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared incredulously at Su Han in the blood pool. He not only recognized Su Han but was also the one who had brought him to Dragon Blood Mountain. He just never imagined that Su Han wouldn't be on the mountainside; instead, he was here. Moreover, during the entire time he battled Jing Yun, he hadn't had the slightest inkling of Su Han's presence. This… this was simply unbelievable!
Jing Yun's huge eyes contracted sharply as he recalled that Su Han had come with Xiao Tian. One question after another rose in his mind. How did he get into the blood pool? The Dragon's Might here can seriously injure even a Heavenly King Realm expert, yet he managed to enter? All the True Dragon Essence Blood… it's all been absorbed by him! But he's merely in the Physique Realm, so how could he possibly have climbed to the mountain peak? How could he have entered the blood pool right under our noses? And he absorbed all the True Dragon Essence Blood by himself? Were the recent phenomena also caused by him? He looked toward Xiao Tian, but the man wore an identical expression of shock and doubt, clearly just as clueless.
Su Han sensed the arrival of Xiao Tian and Jing Yun. He withdrew from his contemplation of the Jie Character Secret and looked up to see them. Hmm? They both suffered heavy losses? Xiao Tian and Jing Yun were in a wretched state, their auras greatly weakened. With a brief scan, Su Han guessed the outcome of their battle. The result was within his expectations, yet still held a hint of surprise.
For Su Han, however, this was an absolute godsend and the perfect opportunity for a counterattack. He had long guessed Xiao Tian's intentions for him, but since he had no desire to grovel like Tao Ming, a conflict between them was inevitable. Now that he had snatched the True Dragon Essence Blood they fought so desperately for, the enmity was surely sealed. And it wasn't just with Xiao Tian; Jing Yun would certainly not let him off easily either.
They were both powerhouses at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Power Realm. If they came after him at full strength, his only option would be to flee. But now, Xiao Tian and Jing Yun were grievously injured, with less than a tenth of their strength remaining. He, on the other hand, had just successfully broken through and was in peak condition.
Mercy to an enemy is cruelty to oneself! Su Han had understood this principle long ago. Thus, his gaze toward Xiao Tian and Jing Yun suddenly turned cold.
"Su Han, get up here at once!" Xiao Tian shouted, summoning him. No matter what, Su Han was someone he had brought. As long as he could get Su Han away from here, he could interrogate him thoroughly. The immediate priority was to shake off Jing Yun first. As for whether Su Han might resist, such a thought had never even crossed Xiao Tian's mind. He was a prodigy of the Xiao Family and was confident that even if Su Han had ten times the courage, he would never dare to attack him.
Unfortunately for him, he guessed wrong this time.
SWOOSH!
Su Han instantly activated the Character Technique of Motion and Lightning Fast, erupting with thirteen times his normal speed. His entire body transformed into a streak of light, shooting forward. Gripping the Black Blade, he slashed directly at Xiao Tian.
Strike first or be struck down!
