"Hmm? He’s come out!"

Feeling Su Han’s aura reemerge, the Blood Lord swiftly looked over. Soon enough, he saw Su Han’s figure, but there was no sign of the Divination King—not even a trace of his aura.

The Divination King... dead?

A fearful speculation arose in the Blood Lord’s heart. The Divination King was a powerhouse at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly King Realm, the number one killer star of the previous generation, and the favored disciple of the Diviner Great Saint. It was impossible for him to be sealed or restrained. The only explanation was that he had been killed and his body completely eradicated.

The mere thought chilled the Blood Lord to the bone, filling his heart with panic. If the Divination King was indeed dead, it would undoubtedly be a momentous event. Not to mention others, the Diviner Great Saint would be enraged, and the consequences were unimaginable. But the situation had progressed to this point, and panicking was useless. The only thing he could do now was capture Su Han or kill him on the spot to avenge the Divination King and gain the favor of the Diviner Great Saint.

"Su Han, you dare to kill the Divination King? Do you realize he is the favored disciple of the Diviner Great Saint? The Diviner Great Saint won’t let you off!" the Blood Lord rebuked loudly, trying to confirm whether the Divination King was alive or dead.

Unfortunately, Su Han did not respond. He simply gripped the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda and pressed it down toward the Blood Lord.

The Nine Palace Golden Pagoda was a Low-Grade Holy Artifact. Even though Su Han could only unleash part of its power, it was enough to threaten the Blood Lord.

"Blood Sea Domain, open!"

The Blood Lord quickly expanded his Domain to withstand the suppression of the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda, but Su Han had no real intention of defeating him; he merely wanted to buy time. After all, the Blood Lord was a powerhouse at the Third Layer of the Supreme Realm. With his current strength, Su Han could not defeat him unless he managed to break through to the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly King Realm—only then might there be a sliver of a possibility.

His main goal at the moment was to keep the Blood Lord occupied while he took control of the Holy Rune Great Formation. This impressive formation was capable of sealing space-time. If Su Han could control it, it would certainly become an asset for Saint You Heng. As long as the Swordsaint and Lan Yi the Female Saint were dealt with, the Blood Lord’s death would also be inevitable.

"Divine Skill: Blossoming with One Thought!"

Su Han once again cast the Divine Skill, condensing the Shore Flower Doppelganger. He then instructed the doppelganger to manipulate the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda and continuously assault the Blood Lord, buying himself more time.

"Not good, he’s trying to stall!"

The Blood Lord soon saw through Su Han’s intentions. Although he did not know whether Su Han could influence the Holy Rune Great Formation, he feared the possibility. With the Divination King dead, his own life was now tied to that of the Swordsaint and Lan Yi the Female Saint. He could not allow Su Han to succeed, or he himself would fall here today. The Blood Lord had not reached the Supreme Realm easily and had no intention of dying such a tragic death. He wanted to live; therefore, he had to stop Su Han.

"Earth Rank High-Level Martial Technique: Blood Fury Triple Severing Slash!"

With his Blood Sea Domain fending off the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda’s suppression, the Blood Lord charged out, brandishing the Blood Ring and swiftly advancing on Su Han. This Blood Ring was not a restraining treasure but an integrated offensive and defensive tool. Now revealing its offensive side, it traced an arc through the air, creating a five-hundred-meter-long bloody rainbow.

"Human Severing Slash!"

"Earth Severing Slash!"

"Heavenly Severing Slash!"

This was the Blood Lord’s famous ultimate move, a Martial Technique he had immersed himself in for many years and brought to Great Accomplishment. He unleashed three blood-colored rainbows in succession, each five hundred meters long. The first wailed with the cries of wronged souls as ghostly hands reached out from within, as if to drag the living into the abyss of death. The second was filled with cracks, resembling parched earth and exuding an aura of desolation. The third was a dark, surging crimson-black, like ominous clouds bearing down on a city.

The three blood-colored rainbows formed a triangular pattern as they sliced toward Su Han, sealing off any possibility of escape. This strike was aimed directly at Su Han’s Original Body, while the Blood Lord himself stirred up overwhelming blood waves to block the Shore Flower Doppelganger.

"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"

"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"

Su Han knew he could not underestimate the power of this attack. His eyes hardened as he clenched his left fist and wielded a blade in his right, counterattacking swiftly. The golden Fist Blaze shone like a radiant sun, dazzlingly bright and illuminating everything around. The Yin Yang Thunder intertwined, forming a three-hundred-meter-long blade of lightning and fire that sought to reap living souls like the river of the underworld.

BOOM!

A terrifying explosion erupted in mid-air. The violent fluctuations turned into a storm that swept through the surroundings, tearing the ground apart and churning the air into chaos.

Su Han and the Blood Lord were both forced back. However, Su Han’s formidable Physical Body allowed him to steady himself after just one step, while the Blood Lord was pushed back more than ten meters. Although the Blood Lord was powerful, Su Han’s strength was infinitely close to the Supreme Realm, making it easy enough to withstand the blow.

"Holy Thunder Golden Wheel!"

Su Han’s brow furrowed slightly as he retrieved the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel. He controlled it using the Secret of the Soldier Character, sending it slicing swiftly toward the Blood Lord.

However, after launching the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel, Su Han paid no more attention to the result. He activated his Nine Heavens Eye and looked toward the Holy Rune Great Formation. The formation knowledge in his mind whirred into action, seeking a method to reverse its control.

This Holy Pattern is quite extraordinary, created by a Saint Realm powerhouse using the Power of Space-Time, which is why it can seal the area. If a true Saint had set it up, I would have no chance of affecting it. But the Divination King wasn’t that strong, and he left a breach. That gives me an opportunity.

Su Han’s knowledge of formations was inherited from the white-haired man, a Divine Level Array Master far beyond the capabilities of ordinary mortals. Consequently, it did not take him long to find a method. Without hesitation, Su Han began to rapidly sketch Formation Patterns, erasing the traces left by the Divination King and imprinting his own. He was preparing to seize control of the Holy Rune Great Formation.

This Holy Rune Great Formation was exceptional. Had Master Gong Ming been present, he likely would not have been able to break it. This time, however, they were up against Su Han. The Diviner Great Saint, despite his mighty Divination Technique, was not infallible. Su Han represented a variable he had not accounted for—one who not only killed the Divination King but could also influence the Holy Rune Great Formation.

Perhaps their entire plan would change because of the variable that was Su Han.

"With my blood, I shall taint the heavens and earth!"

Thwarted by Su Han and feeling the urgency, the Blood Lord dared not allow Su Han to continue. His eyes turned blood-red as he activated his Secret Technique. His entire being exploded with a bloody light, causing the surrounding space to quiver and shake.

Su Han’s brow furrowed slightly as he multitasked. He controlled the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel and the Nine Palace Golden Pagoda to fend off the Blood Lord while simultaneously working to break the Holy Rune Great Formation.

After devouring the Divination King’s soul and a strand of the Diviner Great Saint’s Divine Sense, the number of Divine Sense Stellars in Su Han’s sea of consciousness had reached one hundred and three. His Divine Sense Power was now tremendously vast. Thus, even while multitasking, he faced no difficulty.

The Blood Lord was being driven mad. He attacked with all his might, but faced with two Holy Artifacts, he was ultimately unable to break through their defenses.

Meanwhile, Su Han continued to multitask, steadily unraveling the Holy Rune Great Formation until, finally, he succeeded.

Turn their own tricks against them!

Su Han’s eyes lit up, and he swiftly activated the Holy Rune Great Formation.

The counterattack was about to begin.
