Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Although there is a Pan Peach Immortality Tree comparable to a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse within the Ninth Region, there is still a sliver of hope.

If he continued to stay in the Eighth Region, what Su Han would face would no longer be just a few Saints, but three Quasi-Emperors, several Great Saints, and dozens of Saint-level powerhouses.

Moreover, this time Su Han could no longer keep using the Character Technique of Motion and Earth Escape arts to flee and maneuver, because the Eighth Region was much smaller than the Seventh, leaving too little room to maneuver.

The experts chasing him this time were also far stronger than the Demon Slaying Alliance from before, and far more numerous. Among them was Yun Ji Saint of the Bagua Imperial Palace; even if he hid himself, his location would be deduced.

Thus Su Han decided to wager everything and break into the Ninth Region, gambling on a chance of survival out of near-certain death.

"Is he insane? He actually dares to run toward the Ninth Region!"

Prince Nangong’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he stared at Su Han’s back in disbelief.

The White Tiger Immortality Elixir had been picked up by Su Han in a stroke of luck; this result was beyond everyone’s expectations. But if he ran into the Ninth Region now, that was a nine-deaths-one-life situation.

"No, he’s not insane. On the contrary, he’s very smart. Otherwise, even if he is a prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, he would be doomed without a doubt!"

Imperial Son Zhong Kui passed by, letting out a cold laugh as his gaze locked firmly onto Su Han.

He wanted the White Tiger Immortality Elixir, and he also wanted to kill Su Han. Now the two goals had merged into one, which was exactly the situation he most wanted to see.

At this moment everyone charged after Su Han to kill him. After all, the allure of the White Tiger Immortality Elixir was too great; even Quasi-Emperor powerhouses could not help but be tempted.

"Nineteenth Prince, hand the White Tiger Immortality Elixir over to this seat, and this seat can guarantee you’ll be unharmed!"

Tai Mountain King spoke up. Although he wanted to kill Su Han, he desired the White Tiger Immortality Elixir even more, so at this moment he tried to coax Su Han.

"Your Highness, hand the White Tiger Immortality Elixir to this old woman. You are the prospective son-in-law of my Liu Family; we are already one family!"

Emerald Willow Saint also tried to persuade him. She wasn’t exactly trying to trick Su Han, but she truly wanted the White Tiger Immortality Elixir. After all, the Azure Dragon Immortality Elixir had vanished, and though the vitality of the White Tiger Immortality Elixir was somewhat inferior, it was still a top-tier Low Grade Immortality Medicine.

"Nineteenth Prince, as long as you hand the White Tiger Immortality Elixir to this old man, not only will this old man keep you safe and sound, but I can also promise you one condition!"

Yun Ji Saint likewise extended an olive branch. As a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse of the Bagua Imperial Palace, a promise from him carried considerable weight.

The three Quasi-Emperor powerhouses all wanted to obtain the White Tiger Immortality Elixir without shedding blood, so they were patiently coaxing him. If it were anyone else, they might have yielded long ago—unfortunately for them, this time they were facing Su Han.

The White Tiger Immortality Elixir concerned Fairy Sister Yun Xian’s Origin Wound; no matter how great the conditions, Su Han could not hand it over. He kept silent and fled for his life, quickly crossing the boundary and charging into the Ninth Region.

"This is bad, he actually went in. Now things are troublesome!"

Seeing Su Han break into the Ninth Region, Tai Mountain King felt like cursing his ancestors. Though he was a Quasi-Emperor powerhouse, he understood that there was still a gap between Quasi-Emperor and Great Emperor, and that gap was like clouds and mud.

A Pan Peach Immortality Tree comparable to a Great Emperor Realm—who would dare provoke it? Even knowing there were Pan Peach Immortality Medicines there, you still needed a life to take them!

Were they just going to give up like this?

Honestly, no one was willing. They had tracked him for so long and paid a tremendous price, and besides, the open period of the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land was about to end. If they gave up now, trying to capture another Immortality Medicine would be far too difficult.

Once the open period ended, they would be forced to leave. The next opening would be nine thousand years later; none of them could live that long, so right now was their only chance.

"As long as we’re fast enough, if we kill him and leave immediately, that Pan Peach Immortality Tree shouldn’t have time to strike at us!"

Tai Mountain King was unwilling to let go and decided to take a desperate gamble. He wasn’t greedy—so long as he could obtain the White Tiger Immortality Elixir, that was enough. As for the Pan Peach Immortality Medicine, he would stop thinking about it.

The others had the same idea. Having paid such a huge price, giving up now was simply too bitter; they had to fight for it.

With this in mind, led by the three Quasi-Emperors, the Saints surged across the boundary in a mighty tide and entered the Ninth Region.

The Ninth Region was the core of the entire Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, and also the place where Spiritual Energy was the densest and Dao Rhyme the most flourishing.

Training here for a single day was equivalent to a month of cultivation in the outside world. If not for the restriction of the open period, everyone would have wanted to stay here to go into seclusion.

The Ninth Region was even smaller in area than the Eighth, roughly only a quarter of a Daozhou.

Yet once they stepped into the Ninth Region, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable, as if they were sinking into a quagmire, and as though countless eyes were staring at them.

This feeling made everyone’s scalp tingle, yet they could not detect the cause. Still, for the sake of the White Tiger Immortality Elixir, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and press on.

"The entire Ninth Region is the Space-Time Domain of the Pan Peach Immortality Tree—too terrifying. Now that we’ve entered, everyone must be quiet. If we alarm the Pan Peach Immortality Tree, none of us will escape!"

Yun Ji Saint used the Bagua Deduction Technique and finally arrived at an astonishing conclusion.

Though the Ninth Region was not large, that was only in comparison to the other eight regions; to them, it was still not small. And this whole area was a Domain, which was why everyone felt so uncomfortable.

Whether the Pan Peach Immortality Tree was currently asleep or awake, they had to tread carefully, quiet and cautious, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Everyone nodded; they understood this principle. They restrained their Aura one by one, kept silent, and did not dare to shout.

"Where is the Nineteenth Prince?"

Tai Mountain King’s brows knitted slightly as he swept his gaze around, but did not see Su Han’s figure.

Su Han’s speed was indeed fast, but his cultivation was what it was—how could he have fled so far so quickly? Could it be some kind of invisibility Law or concealment art?

"Let me perform a deduction!"

Yun Ji Saint gripped the Jade Ruyi, invoked the Bagua Deduction Technique, and began deducing Su Han’s location.

...

At this moment, Su Han had not gone far; in fact, he was not far from Tai Mountain King and the others. As soon as he stepped into the Ninth Region, he had swiftly used an Earth Escape art and slipped underground.

Su Han was currently beneath the feet of Tai Mountain King and company, about a thousand meters down. He suppressed his Aura and carefully fled forward.

He could also sense the presence of the Space-Time Domain and knew this was the Domain of the Pan Peach Immortality Tree, so he did not dare act recklessly. This was a Great Emperor-level powerhouse—one sneeze could injure him.

"No retreat—only forward!"

Su Han knew Yun Ji Saint was there and guessed he would deduce his position, so his only option was to keep moving forward. Otherwise, he would once again fall into a situation of being hunted.

"Hm? The Earth Deity has awakened!"

Just then, Su Han felt a tug in his heart and lowered his head to look at the Bronze Ring.

The next instant, his consciousness entered the Prison Divine Palace.

The Earth Deity corresponding to the Houtu Sacred Body had awakened at this moment!
