Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 589: Slaying the Saint Heir

Although the Ghost Saint Heir was not weak, he was simply no match for Su Han. While Su Han’s Realm was slightly inferior, he surpassed the Ghost Saint Heir in every other aspect: his Physique, Cultivation Technique, Martial Techniques, Domain, and the oppressive power of his Holy Artifacts.

For the Zi Mansion Holy Son, the Ghost Saint Heir was his greatest rival. In Su Han’s view, however, as long as the Ghost Saint Heir did not use any Saint Treasures, he could be defeated and slain with ease.

Su Han had not even used his Ghostly Face Mask or the Divine Power, Blossoming with One Thought, yet he had still effortlessly defeated the Ghost Saint Heir.

"Intermediate-grade Divine Power: Ghost Thread Corpse Sewing!"

The Ghost Saint Heir trembled as he sewed the ruined half of his body back together. Although he looked pathetic, he had managed to save his own life.

"You’re definitely not from around Ji State. Who are you? What are you plotting by following the Zi Mansion Holy Son?" the Ghost Saint Heir demanded, staring at Su Han. He used the moment to recover from his injuries, clearly intending to continue the fight.

"Summon the thousand-year-old ghost inside you. Otherwise, you’ll lose your chance," Su Han said indifferently, gripping his Black Blade. He had seen right through the Ghost Saint Heir’s petty scheme. If the Great Majestic Demon King did not need that thousand-year-old ghost, he would have already slain the Ghost Saint Heir with the speed of a thunderbolt, silencing him for good.

"What?"

The Ghost Saint Heir was stunned. He never expected Su Han to see through his greatest secret. This thousand-year-old ghost had an extraordinary origin. It was his companion spirit and had resided within him since birth. He possessed neither a Special Physique nor an ancient bloodline; it was this thousand-year-old ghost that had allowed him to gradually rise to become the Saint Heir of the Five Ghosts Demon Cult.

This secret was known to only a handful of people in the entire Five Ghosts Demon Cult. Everyone else was completely oblivious. The fact that Su Han had seen through it came as a profound shock.

However, he was already at the end of his rope. If he did not draw upon the power of the thousand-year-old ghost, he would surely die here today. He had his own ambitions. He refused to die here, especially not at Su Han’s hands.

"Since you wish to see it, I’ll show you the brutality of Hell!" the Ghost Saint Heir said coldly.

Immediately, his pale, jade-like skin cracked open. White bone spurs burst forth like bamboo shoots after the rain, and his body rapidly swelled to five meters tall, like a small giant. Thick Ghost Qi erupted from him, and the entire space suddenly darkened, becoming like a spectral realm. Sharp, piercing wails of ghosts and howls of wolves suddenly filled the air.

In that moment, the Ghost Saint Heir’s appearance changed completely. He was no longer a handsome, cheerful young man. He had transformed into a one-horned, one-eyed monster with a green face and savage fangs. His hands became sharp claws, and his body was clad in black Scale Armor, like an Evil Demon from Hell. This was the Ghost Saint Heir’s strongest state. His Aura surged, becoming comparable to an expert at the Eighth Layer of the Supreme Realm—unspeakably mighty and peerless.

"I will gnaw the flesh from your bones, drink your blood dry, and devour your soul so that you will never be reborn!" the Ghost Saint Heir shrieked. He stomped the ground and transformed into a ghostly shadow, lunging at Su Han. His strength, speed, defensive power, and Recovery Power were all immensely enhanced, making him incredibly formidable.

Su Han wasted no words. He immediately took out the Ghostly Face Mask and activated Physique Fusion. His entire being began to radiate an aura of darkness, coldness, and domination, like a young Demon Emperor.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

Su Han met the Ghost Saint Heir in battle. They engaged in fierce close combat, their blows landing with thunderous impact. It had to be said that the Ghost Saint Heir’s power had increased immensely, allowing him to trade blows evenly with Su Han’s Great Accomplished Holy Body.

Unfortunately for him, Su Han not only possessed the Great Accomplished Holy Body but also the Great Luo Golden Body—a Divine Method that tempered the bones. Hard bones made for hard fists.

"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"

Su Han unleashed the technique again, his golden fists forcing the Ghost Saint Heir back step by step and shattering much of his Scale Armor. This time, however, the Ghost Saint Heir did not use the Ghost Thread Corpse Sewing Divine Power. Instead, his wounds healed with incredible speed, evidently due to the power of the thousand-year-old ghost.

"Myriad Ghosts Devouring Souls!"

A dark and ferocious Divine Sense surged from the Ghost Saint Heir’s forehead, transforming into a spiritual Fierce Ghost that dove straight into Su Han’s mind. It aimed to severely damage his sea of consciousness and seize the advantage. The thousand-year-old ghost’s spiritual power was incredibly strong. The Fierce Ghost it had become managed to reach the sea of consciousness itself, shaking the normally stable space incessantly.

"Divine Sense Black Hole!"

Within Su Han’s sea of consciousness, one hundred and three Divine Sense Stars lit up simultaneously. They merged into a tremendous surge of Divine Sense Power that formed a giant black hole. This black hole then flew out from the sea of consciousness and devoured the spiritual Fierce Ghost in a single gulp.

"What? You can devour my spiritual power!?" A sharp, piercing scream tore from the Ghost Saint Heir’s mouth, his face a mask of shock and disbelief.

"Nine Heavens Divine Light!"

Seizing the moment of shock, Su Han swiftly activated his Nine Heavens Eye. He condensed his vast Divine Sense into a golden beam of Nine Heavens Divine Light that shot through the air and pierced the Ghost Saint Heir’s forehead. The Nine Heavens Divine Light was a Divine Method—the ultimate expression of yang energy, making it unstoppable. Backed by Su Han’s vastly superior Divine Sense, the beam penetrated the Ghost Saint Heir’s sea of consciousness. It severely wounded his Divine Sense, causing him to let out a piercing scream.

"Origin Technique: Three Heads and Six Arms!"

Su Han activated the Origin Technique he had obtained from the Vajra Holy Body. He instantly grew two extra heads and four extra arms, all of which were identical to his Great Accomplished Holy Body. The only drawback was that his total Divine Sense was not tripled; it remained the same. Even so, in his three-headed, six-armed form, Su Han’s close-combat prowess was even more ferocious, and he attacked with his full power.

RIP!

The Ghost Saint Heir’s right arm was torn off and flung aside.

BOOM!

His left leg was blasted apart, sending flesh and blood everywhere.

"I’ll give you everything I’ve got!" The shriek was filled with hatred and desperation. A ghostly shadow seething with overwhelming resentment flew from the Ghost Saint Heir’s body, charging toward Su Han. This specter possessed a powerful, frost-cold aura and was tainted with the stench of Hell, as if it had just crawled out from its depths.

Even without a prompt from the Great Majestic Demon King, Su Han knew this ghostly shadow was the thousand-year-old ghost from within the Ghost Saint Heir.

"Great Majestic Demon King, it’s all yours!" Su Han declared.

Gripping the Black Blade, he cleaved down with his full might. The blade struck the thousand-year-old ghost, and before it could react, the power of the Great Majestic Demon King erupted and dragged it into the Black Blade.

"No!"

The ghost struggled frantically, but it was useless. In the end, it was pulled completely into the Black Blade and vanished without a trace.

Deprived of the thousand-year-old ghost, the Ghost Saint Heir collapsed to the ground, barely breathing and unable to fight any longer.

SWISH!

With a flash of the blade, the Ghost Saint Heir’s head was sent flying. His corpse fell to the ground in pieces
