Although Gold Ingot was very strong, he was still no match for Black Whale. Su Han had successfully fought and defeated Black Whale, making Gold Ingot even less of a concern. If not for the restrictions of the Reincarnation Holy Mirror, Su Han likely would have defeated Gold Ingot much earlier. The rankings on the List of Monsters were arranged by humans and therefore did not completely represent one’s combat power. Although Su Han ranked lower than Gold Ingot on the list, Gold Ingot was no match for him when he struck with his full power. He was now lying on the ground, severely injured by that single blow.

"Cough, cough!" Gold Ingot clutched his chest, coughing up blood continuously. He did not dare to remain on the ground. He struggled to his feet and stuffed a healing elixir into his mouth to stanch the bleeding. Only then did he glare at Su Han with a grim expression.

He had thought victory was within his grasp, but he had not expected this Su Han to be so tough. Not only did Su Han possess numerous methods, but his trump cards were also endless and impossible to guard against.

"Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!"

"Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!"

Su Han had no habit of letting his enemies rest. He swiftly executed the Character Technique of Motion to close the distance. With his left hand balled into a fist and his right holding the blade, he struck at Gold Ingot with his full power.

At the same time, the Shore Flower Clone also made its move. It unleashed various binding and restrictive Origin Techniques and Divine Methods at Gold Ingot to weaken his strength and limit his speed.

"Heavenly Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Golden Sun Thunder Burst!"

Enraged and frenzied, Gold Ingot unleashed his full strength. His Spiritual Energy surged wildly as he executed a Heaven Rank Martial Technique that he had not yet fully mastered.

Bolts of Taiyi Golden Thunder roared out. Under Gold Ingot’s control, they swiftly converged, ultimately forming a ten-meter-wide golden thunderball that shone as brilliantly as the sun. This was an extremely destructive Martial Technique. Because Gold Ingot lacked sufficient strength, he could only unleash one-tenth of its might. If he were able to fully display this Heaven Rank Martial Technique, a hundred-meter-wide golden thunderball would be powerful enough to level the entirety of Cang City. Even so, it was still terrifying as it hurtled directly toward Su Han.

Su Han neither dodged nor retreated. Instead, he charged toward the golden thunderball, cleaving it open with the Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes and blocking with his strongest defense, while his Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist continued onward unabated.

CLANG!

The fist was blocked by the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel. Gold Ingot had regained control of the Holy Artifact and held it before him, intercepting Su Han’s earth-shattering punch.

"Three Feet of Ice!"

Su Han was too overwhelming, forcing Gold Ingot to give him his full attention. The Shore Flower Clone seized this advantage. While Su Han’s Original Body was locked in a fierce battle with Gold Ingot, it suddenly struck with a Divine Method.

A cold chill immediately invaded Gold Ingot’s body, covering his skin with a thick layer of frost. The ice not only hampered his movements but also left his limbs freezing. It felt as if even his sea of consciousness was about to freeze solid. As a result, Gold Ingot was affected; his strength and reaction time both slowed.

"Energy Physique!"

Seizing the opportunity, Su Han stimulated the potential of his Sacred Body. He executed Black Hole Transformation, his body becoming a black hole that emitted a terrifying Devouring Force.

WHOOSH!

Gold Ingot’s Taiyi Golden Thunder was uncontrollably sucked into Su Han’s body. The Taiyi Golden Thunder was incredibly destructive, but Su Han used the Spatial Force in his Dantian to immobilize it. At the same time, he withstood the assault with his Great Accomplished Holy Body and fully activated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to devour and refine it.

Although this process involved unimaginable pain, in a life-and-death battle, any slight shift in power could affect the final outcome. The more he devoured, the weaker Gold Ingot became, and the greater the chance of killing him.

A furious rage burned in Gold Ingot’s chest. He felt as if his lungs were about to explode with anger.

To hunt down Su Han this time, he had not only offended the Myriad Treasures Pavilion but also enlisted Swordsaint and Lan Yi the Female Saint, and even brought the Reincarnation Holy Mirror. After paying such a huge price, if he failed to kill Su Han, all his previous efforts would be for naught. He would suffer immense losses—losses he could not afford to bear. Therefore, he could not lose. He had to defeat Su Han and kill him!

"AAAAAH!"

Gold Ingot’s features twisted, his face contorting with rage. The veins on his neck bulged as he let out a furious roar. "Su Han, I swear I’m not human if I don’t kill you!"

Gold Ingot bellowed as a violent aura erupted from within him, threatening to explode.

Su Han felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. Daring not to hesitate, he stopped devouring the energy and quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and Gold Ingot.

Gold Ingot’s body swelled incessantly like an inflating balloon. To Su Han’s astonishment, he ultimately grew to a height of ten meters.

After his Demonization, Su Han’s Demon Body was four meters tall, but he now looked like a dwarf before Gold Ingot. The difference was immense.

His ten-meter-tall body was wreathed in golden lightning, and a pair of wind and thunder wings condensed on his back. His figure was no longer fat but had become tall and imposing, strikingly similar to the Thunder God Physique.

"I am a descendant of a divine spirit," Gold Ingot boomed, his voice like thunder, deafening all who heard it. "To kill you this time, I paid the price of a hundred years of my lifespan to activate my Thunder God Bloodline. You can die with pride!"

Numerous flashes of lightning sparked across the sky, all of them formed from Taiyi Golden Thunder. At this moment, Gold Ingot’s aura was incredibly powerful, surpassing the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly King Realm and infinitely close to the Supreme Realm. This was his greatest trump card.

"Holy Thunder Golden Wheel!"

Gold Ingot gripped the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel. The Holy Artifact could now unleash far greater power than before.

CRACK!

Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, hundreds of bolts of lightning shot out. All were condensed from Taiyi Golden Thunder, resembling divine swords filled with destructive power and sharpness as they descended upon Su Han. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

When poor, strike with precision; when rich, cover with firepower!

Gold Ingot’s power was as vast as the sea. He unleashed hundreds of lightning bolts at once, blanketing the area where Su Han stood and leaving him no room to escape or dodge.

Su Han’s expression grew solemn. Gold Ingot’s trump card is indeed impressive. All these top-tier prodigies have extraordinary backgrounds. Black Whale is a descendant of the Kunpeng, and Gold Ingot is the descendant of a divine spirit. No wonder their innate talents are so remarkable.

Su Han brandished the Black Blade, its gleam like a waterfall, as he simultaneously executed his strongest defense to block the bolts of lightning.

But the lightning bolts were too powerful and too numerous. Even at full strength, Su Han could not block them all. Amid continuous roars and flying sparks, his strongest defense was shattered, penetrated by more than a dozen bolts and utterly obliterated.

Like sharp arrows, the lightning bolts pierced through everything. They impaled Su Han’s body, knocking him from mid-air and pinning him to the ground.

At this moment, Su Han was covered in wounds and bleeding nonstop, pierced until he looked like a hedgehog.

Death could come at any moment.
