Chapter 849: Enlightenment

Plop!

The corpse of the Meng Po Empress fell heavily to the ground, her face still frozen with intense fear and confusion.

Even in death, she remained in shock, her pair of peach-blossom eyes boring into Su Han, seemingly wanting to see through him, but unfortunately, she would never have the chance in this lifetime.

"Nine Heavens Divine Light!"

"Sword of Slaughter!"

While slaying the physical body of the Meng Po Empress, Su Han acted swiftly, and instantly the Nine Heavens Divine Light pierced into the brow, and the Sword of Slaughter slashed into the sea of consciousness, not giving the Meng Po Empress a chance to employ the Yama Soul-Seizing Technique or other secret techniques.

"Even as a ghost, I won’t forgive you!"

With an angry roar, the divine sense of the Meng Po Empress could not escape destruction, being wiped out completely by the combined might of the Nine Heavens Divine Light and the Sword of Slaughter, leading to her complete death and soul destruction.

And as the Meng Po Empress died, the bloody light at her heart also dimmed again.

Demonic Qi burst forth from Su Han, carefully wrapping around the heart of the Meng Po Empress, and then he drew out the drop of Imperial Blood from within.

The drop-shaped Imperial Blood flew out, suspended in mid-air, glaring red and terrifyingly bloody, bearing an aura so overwhelming that it compelled one to kneel and submit.

Without a doubt, this was a drop of blood from a Great Emperor Realm stronghold, and it wasn’t ordinary blood, seemingly a drop of heart blood, otherwise, how could it have been nurtured within the heart of the Meng Po Empress!

This drop of Imperial Blood was incredibly bewitching, filled with evil, and the moment it appeared, it distorted time and space, even dyeing the distant spiritual medicines with a layer of blood-red, as if turning them into Blood Spiritual Medicines.

"Collect!"

Su Han carefully wrapped this drop of Imperial Blood with Demonic Qi, then drew it into his body, finally placing it into his own heart for nurturing.

He possessed the Great Accomplished Sacred Body and the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art; a single drop of Imperial Blood couldn’t kill him, let alone in this Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, even if the great divine sense of the Great Emperor who bestowed the Imperial Blood remained, it couldn’t penetrate the time and space barrier here and manipulate this drop of Imperial Blood.

"With this, I now possess two Great Emperor’s treasures!"

Having acquired the Imperial Blood, Su Han’s eyes shone with fervor, his heart settled.

This drop of Imperial Blood was filled with an eerie aura; it was an attack-type Great Emperor’s treasure, and in his hand was the Leaf of Liu Divine given by Emperor Liu, with two Great Emperor’s treasures at his side, his confidence grew stronger.

This time his goal was the Five Elements Immortality Medicine, but any kind of Immortality Medicine would invite the competition of countless strong individuals, and this time, many Great Saints and Quasi-Emperors had entered the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, even the top ten prodigious talents on the Hidden Dragon List had arrived. Without enough leverage, Su Han’s attempt to compete for the Immortality Medicine was incredibly difficult.

Now that he had two Great Emperor’s treasures, it was just to boost his confidence, yet he couldn’t sweep away everything, as the Imperial Sons and Daughters also held Great Emperor’s treasures, and those Great Saints and Quasi-Emperors could indeed contend with Great Emperor’s treasures.

Therefore, relying solely on these two Great Emperor’s treasures wasn’t enough; Su Han wished to grow stronger, only the power of his own strength could suppress everything.

"The urgent matter is to break through to the Saint Realm, but this can’t be rushed either. I’ll first devour the Forgotten Stream Sacred Body, which is the twentieth Special Physique, it might bring me different gains."

Su Han had reached a bottleneck, with substantial accumulation, but due to the Time Law, he was stuck in the Supreme Realm, unable to break through.

When he does break through, not only will all aspects of his combat power improve, but the Ghostly Face Mask will provide him a tremendous power boost and potentially unlock the First Layer, granting him a new Nine Secrets.

All this would be a qualitative leap for Su Han, and once he broke through, the Dugu Imperial Son would be nothing in front of him, but currently, facing the Dugu Imperial Son, he would need to fight with all his might, with victory uncertain.

Yet breaking through to the Saint Realm was not so easily achieved, many martial artists were stuck in the Supreme Realm their entire life unable to surpass it. The Central Plains housed countless beings, yet those who could achieve Instant Sanctification were less than one in a million, showing the rarity of Saints.

Su Han, because of his power and the Nineteenth Prince, had encountered many Saints, even Great Emperor Realm strong beings, but for most martial artists, the Supreme Realm was an unattainable dream, let alone the Saint Realm.

The Time Law is elusive and difficult to comprehend, and the more anxious one is, the harder it is to comprehend; thus, Su Han had to calm his mind and control his emotions, preventing himself from being hasty.

"This place is not suitable to stay for long, I should move to another place!"

This location had just been through a great battle and might attract others; Su Han didn’t wish to expose himself, so he quickly left with the Meng Po Empress’s corpse.

Soon, Su Han distanced himself, found a secluded spot, set up a Great Formation, and began devouring and refining.

"Devouring Heaven Demonic Art!"

Su Han invoked the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, to devour and refine the Meng Po Empress’s corpse.

The Meng Po Empress merely possessed Semi-Saint strength, so Su Han’s refining was quick, taking less than a day to complete.

Swish!

A shimmering light rippled across Su Han’s surface, like the gentle waves of a lake; a hazy and elusive Forgotten Stream encircled him, leading towards Hell.

"Origin Technique: Forget!"

A special energy surged from Su Han, this was the unique Origin Technique of the Forgotten Stream Sacred Body, capable of erasing the memories of others and some of one’s own influences, quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, Su Han had already reached a bottleneck; despite the power improving slightly, he still couldn’t break through to the Saint Realm.

"Let’s visit the Prison Divine Palace!"

Devouring a Special Physique would activate the corresponding deity; Su Han glanced at the Bronze Ring on his hand and promptly his consciousness entered the Prison Divine Palace.

Within the Prison Divine Palace, nothing ever changed, coldness and desolation were the eternal themes here.

A rippling light appeared from afar, like undulating waves, spreading out and covering half of the Prison Divine Palace.

Su Han looked up, seeing this light emitted from a white-clad woman. Her face was vague, unrecognizable, but her aura bestowed a sorrowful despair, making Su Han’s heart ache with helplessness.

This white-clad woman was a deity possessing the Forgotten Stream Sacred Body, Su Han didn’t know who she was, but in that moment, he seemed to glimpse a Forgotten Stream.

This river stretched endlessly, its origin unknown, its destination unwritten, and amidst its waters were countless human lives.

"Time is not about how much you have, but how you use it!"

Suddenly, such words surfaced abruptly in Su Han’s mind.

Who was speaking? Could it be the white-clad woman?

Su Han couldn’t find the source, it felt like a whisper from the void, leading him to a moment of auspicious enlightenment, grasping a glimpse of the Time Law.

"Past, present, future!"

Time flows, never halting, passing from past to present, then to future, unable to be captured by anyone.

"Past life, present life, future life!"

Reincarnation never ends, time flows relentlessly, life after life, eternally unending.

At that moment, Su Han entered a rare state of enlightenment, comprehending the Time Laws.

The Saint Realm, so very close!
