THUD!
The Divination King’s head fell to the ground, blood spraying everywhere. A look of inconceivable shock was still etched on his face.
He simply couldn’t understand how he could have been killed so easily!
As the proud disciple of the Great Diviner Saint, he was adept in the Divination Technique. He possessed proactive and mysterious thods that could kill from the shadows and defend against all manner of attacks. With the Divination Technique—an Interdiate Grade Forbidden Technique—and various protective treasures, he was confident he could even fight against an expert of the Supre Realm. But against Su Han, it was as if he had t his natural predator. He was continuously suppressed and ultimately t this grim end.
SWISH!
A hazy divine light suddenly erged from the Divination King’s head, enveloping his soul to prevent it from dissipating. This light, however, was not the Divination King’s own power. It was filled with a sacred aura, evidently originating from a Saint.
"This disciple is useless! Please punish , Master!" the Divination King’s voice called out, filled with deep self-reproach.
"It has nothing to do with you. The mistake was your master’s!" an ancient voice replied, as imposing as the might of the Heavenly Dao—mysterious and majestic.
If my guess is correct, that must be the mysterious Great Diviner Saint.
This hazy divine light was a power the Great Diviner Saint had left inside the Divination King as a final safeguard. Normally, it would have been enough to save his life. This ti, however, Su Han had pierced his sea of consciousness with the Nine Heavens Divine Light, beheading him before the light could even activate.
"You’re not escaping from !" Seeing the divine light enveloping the Divination King’s soul and attempting to flee, Su Han’s Demonic Qi surged violently.
"Divine Sense Black Hole!"
He imdiately transford his Divine Sense into a black hole that exuded a terrifying Devouring Force, intending to consu and refine the mass of light. Simultaneously, he employed the Secret of the Forward Character to interfere with the Divination Technique.
Although this was an alternate dinsion within the Reincarnation Holy Mirror, the Great Diviner Saint was a Great Saint Expert. Su Han wasn’t certain if he possessed the ability to spirit the Divination King’s soul away. To be safe, he had to eradicate the soul completely and ensure the Divination King could not live on.
"Junior, you are courting death!" The Great Diviner Saint, angered by the interference from the Divine Sense Black Hole and the Secret of the Forward Character, let out a thunderous roar in Su Han’s mind. It was like rolling thunder, threatening to shatter his skull.
But Su Han’s expression remained unchanged. He focused all his effort on powering the Divine Sense Black Hole, relentlessly pulling the hazy divine light toward it.
"Master, save !" Feeling himself about to be devoured, the Divination King panicked and cried out for rescue. However, the Great Diviner Saint was far away, and this light was rely a wisp of Divine Sense he had left behind long ago.
Against any other enemy, this wisp of the Great Diviner Saint’s Divine Sense would have been enough for the Divination King to escape. This ti, however, his opponent was Su Han. Although Su Han did not understand the Divination Technique, his Divine Sense was formidable, and he possessed powerful Divine Sense Secret Techniques like the Secret of the Forward Character.
The so-called Divination Technique was, in essence, an application of Divine Sense. It predicted future changes and circumstances by interpreting various principles of cosmic fate and trajectories of destiny.
At this mont, the hazy divine light was being pulled closer and closer to the Divine Sense Black Hole. Even if the Great Diviner Saint himself took action, distant water cannot quench a nearby thirst; he was unable to save the Divination King.
"No!" the Divination King finally shrieked in terror. He struggled frantically, trying to escape, but it was all in vain. He could only watch helplessly as he was swallowed by the Divine Sense Black Hole.
"Junior, you dare kill my disciple! I swear that I will hunt you to the heavens and the earth and see your body and soul utterly destroyed!"
The Divination King’s soul was devoured, and the hazy divine light left by the Great Diviner Saint could not escape being refined. But the Divination King was his proudest disciple. How could he possibly swallow such an indignity? Thus, he left behind those threatening words.
Soon, the Divination King’s soul, along with the hazy divine light, was devoured and refined by Su Han. At that mont, however, Su Han inexplicably felt a jolt in his Heart Spirit, as if sothing had just targeted him. Yet, no matter how carefully he sensed his surroundings, he found nothing.
It must be the Great Diviner Saint. He must have used so unknown technique to leave a tracking mark on . Su Han did not let his guard down and quickly deduced the reason. Though his guess wasn’t perfectly accurate, he wasn’t far from the truth.
Using that hazy divine light, the Great Diviner Saint had employed his Divination Technique to lock onto Su Han. No matter where Su Han hid, even to the ends of the earth, the Great Diviner Saint would be able to find him—unless Su Han had so special ans to erase the mark.
The secrets of heaven must not be revealed. The Great Diviner Saint’s skill in divination is profound, but it surely has its limitations, perhaps even a backlash. After this battle is over, I have to find Saint You Heng and see if there’s a way to solve this. The gap in their power was simply too vast. Although Su Han knew the Great Diviner Saint had left sothing on him, he could neither find nor erase it. He could only suppress the concern for now.
Reaching out, Su Han retrieved the Divination King’s Storage Ring. The Divination King’s status within the Demon Slayer Sect was not low, and as the favored disciple of the Great Diviner Saint, he surely possessed many treasures.
Indeed, Su Han found many valuable items inside the Storage Ring. It was fully stocked with pills, talismans, formation arrays, and artifacts, in addition to so special treasures used to practice the Divination Technique. Unfortunately, since Su Han didn’t understand the technique, they were useless to him.
SWISH!
Su Han reached into the ring and took out a golden slip. The slip, seemingly made of a material that was neither bamboo nor gold, felt cool and refreshing to the touch, like holding a piece of cold jade. It was engraved with many tiny characters, but not in any script Su Han recognized. A faint, hazy light emanated from it, similar to the power of the Great Diviner Saint. A mysterious Holy Might radiated from it. It was not intense, but it was suffocating, like an invisible hand gripping his throat.
This was a Low-Grade Holy Artifact, and judging by its appearance, it seed to have been crafted by the Great Diviner Saint himself. As for the specifics, Su Han wasn’t sure, but he understood that it was definitely a Holy Artifact ant for divination.
A Holy Artifact is a great find, but I can’t keep this one. I’ll sell it to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion later. Su Han was not blinded by greed. A Holy Artifact from the Great Diviner Saint would certainly have nurous hidden asures attached to it. Even if he could control it with the Secret of the Soldier Character, he would surely be tracked. Besides, he couldn’t use the Divination Technique himself. It would be far better to sell it to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, perhaps in exchange for other useful treasures.
Now that the Divination King is dealt with, the Holy Rune Great Formation is no longer a threat. Everything now depends on Saint You Heng.
Su Han let Black Blade absorb the Divination King’s corpse, then put away the Storage Ring and prepared to leave the alternate dinsion. The Divination King had been important, but he wasn’t the decisive factor. The key to this battle was the outco of the fight between the three Great Saints.
Victory ant life; defeat ant death.
