Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 51: Devouring the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body
Su Han, having suffered the backlash from Demonization, had entered a secluded chamber, completely unaware of the tremors shaking the imperial city.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Violent roars echoed from inside the chamber, as if a humanoid beast was destroying everything within.
"Miss, I’m afraid he won’t hold on much longer and will become a Blade Slave!" Outside the chamber, Elder Kui spoke to Tongyan with a grave expression.
He could already sense Su Han’s consciousness blurring, while the terrible frenzy was growing stronger. If this continued, Su Han would inevitably become a Blade Slave to the Black Blade. They had expended so much effort, even using the Supreme Command. If Su Han were to become a Blade Slave, all their prior efforts would be for nothing. It just wasn’t worth it.
"I believe in him!" Tongyan’s eyes flickered with a sliver of hope for Su Han.
"Elder Kui, please stand guard here and report any abnormalities to me immediately!"
Watching Tongyan leave, Elder Kui sighed. He truly did not understand why his young mistress valued this Su Han so much.
I hope you don’t disappoint the young mistress’s expectations!
Elder Kui sat before the chamber door and waited quietly.
Inside the chamber, Su Han once again experienced the agonizing torment of ice and fire. The frigid Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi and the scorching Black Blade demonic energy made his body their battlefield, engaging in a fierce struggle. Su Han’s eyes were bloodshot and his teeth were clenched as he held on to his last shred of composure.
WHOOSH!
With a grasping motion, a corpse flew out from his Storage Ring—it was the body of the Great Crown Prince.
"Devouring Heaven Demonic Art!"
From his experience with the previous backlash, Su Han knew the only way to suppress the Black Blade demonic energy was to enhance his Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi. The best way to do so at that moment was to devour the Great Crown Prince’s Dragon Phoenix Saint Body. This would elevate his Realm and Physical Body, allowing him to suppress the encroachment of the Black Blade demonic energy.
The Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi quickly enveloped the Great Crown Prince’s corpse and began the process of devouring and Refinement.
「One hour later.」
Inside the chamber, Su Han had reverted from his Demonized State, returning to his original, refined appearance. The frenzy he had felt was also completely dispelled.
As time trickled by, Su Han remained in the chamber for an entire day and night.
Finally, Su Han opened his eyes once more. His pupils had returned to their normal black and white, no longer blood-red.
BOOM!
A powerful aura exploded from his body, sweeping out like a storm and causing the entire chamber to shake. The mighty aura surged upward, as if it aimed to pierce the clouds and tear through the sky. Eventually, Su Han’s aura stabilized, settling at a certain Realm.
"Ninth Layer of the Divine Sea Realm!"
Feeling the torrent of Demonic Qi in his body and the nine Spiritual Patterns in his Sea of Consciousness, Su Han’s eyes lit up with delight. The Great Crown Prince’s corpse had contained a vast amount of Spiritual Energy and vital energy, allowing him to break through three layers and reach the Ninth Layer of the Divine Sea Realm.
Now, even without the Ghostly Face Mask and the Demonized State, Su Han was confident he could defeat the Great Crown Prince.
However, that wasn’t the most important part. What truly thrilled Su Han was that he had successfully devoured the Origin Source of the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body; his Spiritual Body had now ascended to a Sacred Body.
With a thought, a True Dragon Phantom and a True Phoenix Phantom rose from behind him. The dragon and phoenix cried out in unison, manifesting the Dragon Phoenix Harmony Phenomenon. Having devoured the Origin Source, he had naturally refined its associated Phenomenon as well.
HUM!
Before Su Han could properly appreciate it, the Black Hole Phenomenon manifested on its own. To his astonishment, it completely swallowed the Dragon Phoenix Harmony Phenomenon. However, Su Han noticed that after devouring the Dragon Phoenix Harmony, the Black Hole Phenomenon grew significantly larger—from the size of a bowl to that of a basin—and its power had also increased considerably.
It seems the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art only allows me to have the Black Hole Phenomenon!
With his Realm elevated, his Sacred Body obtained, and his Black Hole Phenomenon enhanced, Su Han had truly struck a fortune this time.
But that wasn’t all. The Devouring Heaven Demonic Art could not only devour the Origin Source of a Special Physique but also obtain its Origin Technique. The Great Crown Prince, having just acquired the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body, could only manifest the Phenomenon but had not yet awakened the Origin Technique. Su Han, however, had now acquired it.
Origin Technique: Dragon Phoenix Protection!
WHOOSH!
When Su Han activated the Origin Technique, an ethereal dragon coiled around his body while an ethereal phoenix spread its wings, sheltering him at its center.
Dragon Phoenix Protection was an incredibly powerful defensive technique. It was capable of reconstituting itself even after being shattered, making it far superior to any spiritual or battle armor. If cultivated to Great Accomplishment, it would be as if actual Dragon and Phoenix Divine Beasts were protecting him. Ordinary people would stand no chance of inflicting even the slightest injury.
If the Great Crown Prince had awakened this Origin Technique, Su Han’s Heaven and Earth Slash probably wouldn’t have harmed him.
My offensive techniques include Stone to Gold and Heaven and Earth Slash. Now with Dragon Phoenix Protection, my offense and defense are integrated, doubling my Combat Power!
Sensing the strength of Dragon Phoenix Protection, Su Han’s eyes shone with joy. This Origin Technique had come at the perfect time.
Hm?
Suddenly, Su Han felt an inexplicable palpitation. He looked down, his gaze falling upon the Bronze Ring on his hand.
WHOOSH!
A streak of green light shot out from the Bronze Ring and entered the space between Su Han’s eyebrows.
The next moment, Su Han’s consciousness once again appeared within the Prison Divine Palace. Three thousand Divine Demons knelt toward the divine throne. It was here that Su Han had obtained the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art and the Ghostly Face Mask. He had since been engrossed in bitter cultivation and vengeance, never returning to the Prison Divine Palace. This time, however, he had entered involuntarily.
SWISH!
Two beams of Divine Light suddenly burst forth from two figures, instantly capturing Su Han’s attention.
These are the Golden Spirit Body and the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body!
Su Han quickly assessed the situation. The Golden-armored Divine General possessed the Golden Spirit Body, while the white-haired man possessed the Dragon Phoenix Saint Body.
At that moment, Divine Light emanated from both individuals. A terrifying, overbearing divine might filled the Prison Divine Palace, shaking the heavens and the earth. The pressure caused Su Han’s face to turn pale as he struggled to withstand it. The Divine Light radiating from the Golden-armored Divine General and the white-haired man grew even more brilliant, their divine might surging as if they were about to awaken.
BOOM!
Just as Su Han was pondering this, the divine might from the Golden-armored Divine General erupted, stirring the winds and clouds and causing the very heavens and earth to change color. Two golden gazes, as substantial as solid matter, lit up in his eyes.
The Golden-armored Divine General had awakened!
He glanced at Su Han and immediately reached out, intending to capture him for interrogation. However, as soon as he made his move, he was stunned. He discovered his strength was only at the Ninth Layer of the Divine Sea Realm—insignificantly weak.
"Heaven and Earth Slash!"
Although only Su Han’s consciousness was present, a mere thought was enough to condense his spiritual power into a black blade. He seized the Golden-armored Divine General’s moment of shock and struck with full force.
CRACK!
This was a peerlessly powerful slash. The Golden-armored Divine General had just revived and had no time to react before being struck by Su Han’s blade. Instantly, a massive wound was carved into him.
"Devouring Heaven Demonic Art!"
Seizing the opportunity, Su Han swiftly activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. Inside the Prison Divine Palace, the technique’s power seemed to be enhanced. The Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi billowed like black fog, surging toward the Golden-armored Divine General and completely enveloping him.
Soon, the figure of the Golden-armored Divine General dissipated into nothingness, while Su Han’s mind was flooded with a vast array of unfamiliar memories. These were all the Golden-armored Divine General’s memories. They encompassed everything, including his life experiences and his battle-tested knowledge from countless victories.
The most important part, however, was a Body Tempering Divine Method called the Great Luo Golden Body. This method involved absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Gold to refine the 206 bones of the human body. Doing so would transform one into the Great Luo Golden Body, making them Vajra Indestructible and impervious to any force.
Is this the Divine Demonic Heritage?
Feeling the unfamiliar memories in his mind, Su Han understood the true purpose of the Prison Divine Palace. When he devoured a Special Physique on the outside, the corresponding Divine Demon inside would awaken with a Realm equivalent to his own. As long as Su Han successfully defeated and devoured it, he would obtain the Divine Demon’s heritage. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
It has been half a month since I devoured the Golden Spirit Body, but the Golden-armored Divine General only just revived today. It seems the white-haired man will also need ample time to fully awaken.
Su Han glanced at the white-haired man, and understanding dawned. The Golden-armored Divine General had given him a wealth of memories and knowledge, most importantly a Body Tempering Divine Method called the Great Luo Golden Body. Su Han was filled with anticipation for what the white-haired man would bring.
I wonder what kind of heritage the white-haired man, with his Dragon Phoenix Saint Body, will grant me!
The white-haired man still needed time to awaken. After lingering for a while and seeing no other anomalies, Su Han’s consciousness withdrew from the Prison Divine Palace.
If Su Han unleashed his full power now, he would be terrifying. Ordinary Heavenly Human Realm experts would be no match for him.
Although the Dragon Soul has been retrieved, the Great Crown Prince isn’t dead, and the Queen is still alive. My vengeance is not yet complete!
At this moment, he was just Su Han, no longer the Ninth Prince. He had no ties whatsoever to the royal family.
Next, he would continue his path of vengeance
