"This is impossible!" Demon Saint Hua Jing’s eyeballs nearly popped out, unwilling to accept this reality. He had endured endless hardships to reach the Eastern Region for the sole purpose of killing Su Han. Although there had been some mishaps along the way, he was certain the final strike of the Heavenly Tribulation had turned Su Han to ash, wiping him from the world. Yet now, Su Han was still alive. It even seemed he had gained some extraordinary fortune, a reality Demon Saint Hua Jing could not accept.

Unlike Demon Saint Hua Jing, Saint You Heng was overjoyed. That one-in-ten-thousand chance... I finally encountered it! This proves just how heaven-defying Su Han’s destiny is; even a Heavenly Tribulation this terrifying couldn’t erase him. After surviving today’s ordeal, the Su Han of the future will undoubtedly become even stronger!

In Cang City, Su Han stood suspended in the air. The entire Thunder Sea seemed to center on him as endless Thunder Light converged from all directions, flowing into his body to temper his organs. Even now, Su Han was still pursuing his initial goal: Tempering Body with Thunder. He didn’t have a single injury, a stark contrast to Demon Saint Hua Jing and the others. The ninth Heavenly Tribulation was indeed terrifying, but for Su Han, the Thunder Qilin was a blessing in disguise. Had it been any other manifestation of lightning, he truly would not have been able to withstand it. The Thunder Qilin, however, was his sliver of hope for survival. Inside the Prison Divine Palace, Su Han had once defeated and devoured a true Thunder Qilin Divine Beast, obtaining its memories and inheritance. This gave him a profound understanding of the Qilin Clan. Relying on this knowledge and his precious experience tempering his body with Heavenly Thunder Liquid, Su Han successfully neutralized the Thunder Qilin’s assault. He then borrowed its power to begin his own Tempering Body with Thunder.

At this moment, Su Han’s body was radiant with thunder light, his presence majestic and dignified. Boundless Thunder Light converged from all directions, making him appear like a Thunder God descended to earth, commanding all the divine thunder in the world. Inside Su Han’s body, his flesh, muscles, bones, organs, Dantian, and Sea of Consciousness were all undergoing refinement by thunder. Impurities were purged as he was forged like steel, becoming more resilient and powerful than ever before.

WHOOSH! A burst of black demonic light erupted from Su Han’s body. Like a tide, it quickly spread outward with him at the center, enveloping a hundred-meter radius and forming a circular black space. This was a Domain, one that belonged uniquely to Su Han. Su Han had already reached the limit of the Heavenly King Realm Ninth Level. Now, having successfully completed his Tribulation Transcendence and tempered his body with the power of thunder, he finally shattered his shackles and reached the First Layer of the Supreme Realm. Supreme Realm martial artists have a deeper mastery of Spatial Force, allowing them to use the world’s space to form their own Domain. Within their Domain, a Supreme Realm martial artist is the absolute ruler.

"Devouring Demonic Domain!" A flash of insight struck Su Han, and he instantly understood his Domain. He cultivated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, so his phenomena, Physiques, and Divine Skills were all related to devouring. The Domain he formed upon breaking through to the Supreme Realm was no different. Moreover, he discovered his Domain was different from those of other martial artists. Ordinary martial artists borrow from the world’s space to form their Domain, which essentially remains part of the world at large. But Su Han’s Devouring Demonic Domain was built upon the Spatial Force he had previously devoured into his body. He had forcibly torn this space from the fabric of the world, creating something akin to an extradimensional space. The entire Devouring Demonic Domain belonged solely to him.

"Devour!" At Su Han’s command, the Devouring Demonic Domain began to operate. The efficiency at which it devoured the Thunder Light abruptly doubled. The entire Thunder Sea dissipated at an even faster rate as Su Han’s aura climbed higher and higher. In just a few moments, the vast Thunder Sea had been completely devoured. Not a single wisp of Thunder Light remained in the world, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.

BOOM! When the last wisp of Thunder Light was devoured and refined by Su Han, his aura soared into the sky. An invisible Demonic Might enveloped all directions, causing the hearts of even Saint You Heng and Demon Saint Hua Jing to throb. It was as if they were facing a powerful Demon Lord!

"I’ve finally broken through!" Su Han opened his eyes and let out a long howl that shook heaven and earth. It was as if a demon lord had been born, his might awing all. His black hair billowed, each strand glistening, and his black robes fluttered like an emperor’s. His skin was fair and clear as jade, yet faint arcs of lightning danced across it. His blood flowed like a great river, his heartbeat boomed like thunder, his organs rumbled, and his bone structure was exquisite. Although Su Han’s outward appearance had not changed much, a careful observer would notice countless fine details, as if he had undergone another complete Marrow Cleansing. The aura of the Supreme Realm radiated from him, awe-inspiring and fearsome. In particular, his invincible presence made it feel as though one were facing a truly formidable existence.

This child is destined for greatness! Saint You Heng’s heart filled with joyous surprise. Seeing Su Han’s successful breakthrough and his completely renewed state, his expectations for him soared. I can hardly imagine how far Su Han will go in the future. Perhaps even I will have to look up to him!

Escape! While Saint You Heng felt joy and anticipation, for Demon Saint Hua Jing, it was as if the sky were falling. This version of Su Han was simply too terrifying, instilling a deep fear in him. Mad Lion Saint was dead, and the three Supreme Realm experts they had brought had long been blasted to dust in the Thunder Sea, leaving him all alone. His own injuries were severe, leaving him with less than a tenth of his strength. To remain here was to risk death. He had come to kill Su Han, not to get himself killed.

Therefore, Demon Saint Hua Jing dragged his heavily injured and exhausted body forward and tore open space, intending to escape into the Void.

"How could I possibly let you escape!" Although Saint You Heng had been focused on Su Han, he had never relaxed his guard around Demon Saint Hua Jing. Sensing the latter’s attempt to flee, he activated his tattoo without hesitation, summoning the Hell Nether Serpent once again.

HISS! The black-and-red Hell Nether Serpent shot forth, carrying the aura of Hell that brought death and fear to all living beings. It pierced straight through Demon Saint Hua Jing’s body, forcing him out of the Void. He crashed back to the ground, blood gushing from his wound.

Demon Saint Hua Jing’s injuries grew even more severe, but Saint You Heng was in no better state. He had continuously summoned the Hell Nether Serpent and had also been caught in the blast of the Heavenly Tribulation. His own injuries were grave, and his Qi-Blood was greatly depleted. He had managed to stop Demon Saint Hua Jing’s escape, but he no longer had the strength to deliver the killing blow.

"Saint You Heng, focus on healing. Leave him to me!" Just then, Su Han’s voice rang out. He took a step, employing the Character Technique of Motion to fly toward Demon Saint Hua Jing.

Today, I will slaughter a Saint!
