Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

”Don’t waste words! Go all out and kill him, and we’ll all share the Holy Artifact!” Ye Chuanfeng licked his dry lips, his eyes burning with greed for the Holy Artifact in Su Han’s hands as he incited the crowd to attack.

At this point, everyone’s eyes were glued to the artifact. They didn’t need any more encouragement from Ye Chuanfeng; each of them rushed toward Su Han, ready to kill.

”Heavenly Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Vermilion Bird Burning Sky Force!”

An elder dressed in a fiery red robe made his move. He was the Peak Master of Tianshu Peak and one of the former Great Elders of the Seven Stars Sect. Possessing the strength of the Sixth Layer of the Supreme Realm, his power was second only to Ye Chuanfeng’s.

He cultivated a Fire Attribute Cultivation Technique. Now, holding a fan-shaped Dao Artifact, his entire body was wreathed in raging flames as he unleashed a Heaven Rank Martial Technique.

WHOOSH!

A sacred and majestic cry of a Vermilion Bird echoed through heaven and earth. Fierce flames surged, coalescing and turning the surrounding clouds into a crimson blaze. A hundred-meter-tall Vermilion Bird materialized between the heavens and the earth. Although it was formed from flames, it was incredibly lifelike and vibrant, pulsing with terrifying Might.

The fiery-robed elder swiftly controlled it. Instantly, the flame Vermilion Bird spread its wings and shrieked as it took flight. It carved a beautiful arc through the air, charging straight for Su Han. The horrifying temperature it radiated warped the very space it passed through. If this skill were cultivated to its Peak, it could truly shatter the heavens and incinerate space itself, but its current power was limited.

”Sea Eye Holy Stone!”

Su Han used the Glyph Secret to control the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation and activated the Sea Eye Holy Stone. Immediately, blue ripples spread out in concentric circles, like the surging, towering waves of a tumultuous ocean.

As water and fire are incompatible, the blue ripples crashed against the flame Vermilion Bird, instantly vaporizing into a dense white mist. The terrifying energy storm transformed into an aura of ice and fire, forcing the other elders onto the defensive.

Although the fiery-robed elder was strong, Su Han’s power after donning the Ghostly Face Mask was not to be underestimated. Moreover, the Sea Eye Holy Stone was a Holy Artifact, and its power was magnified within the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation.

”Death Gate, open!”

Su Han stood at the center, in absolute control. His Divine Sense surged, activating one of the eight gates—the Death Gate.

The Death Gate was exceedingly ominous, the most terrifying of the eight gates. With its activation, the blue ripples emitted by the Sea Eye Holy Stone turned ferocious and turbulent, like the waves of the Nether River or the currents of the River of Weak Water.

Empowered by the Death Gate, the Sea Eye Holy Stone’s power grew even more formidable, completely overwhelming the flame Vermilion Bird and extinguishing it in an instant. The blue ripples then continued unabated, surging rapidly toward the fiery-robed elder.

”Not good!”

The fiery-robed elder sensed the immense danger. His expression changed drastically. While retreating, he waved the fan in his hand and expanded his Blazing Flame Domain, attempting to resist the Sea Eye Holy Stone’s attack.

Unfortunately for him, Su Han had already locked onto him and had no intention of giving him any chance to escape.

”Ice-Fire Nine Heavens!”

Su Han held Samadhi True Fire in his left hand and condensed Triple Chilling Nether Qi in his right. The two energies intertwined, forming a nine-petaled Ice-Fire Lotus. As Su Han’s strength had increased, capturing Spiritual Ice and Spiritual Fire had become easier. He had cultivated both of these Divine Methods to the Third Layer, elevating their power to a new level.

BOOM!

The fiery-robed elder was already struggling against the pressure of the Sea Eye Holy Stone. Now, with the added explosion of the Ice-Fire Lotus, his Fiery Domain was shattered and riddled with holes.

”Sink to the bottom of the sea!”

Su Han used the Secret of the Soldier Character to command the Sea Eye Holy Stone. Blue ripples churned violently, morphing into a torrential current that engulfed the fiery-robed elder. Layer upon layer of ripples relentlessly battered him, and soon, he was gravely injured.

”Quick, save Elder Fu!” Ye Chuanfeng’s face was pale with shock. He attacked at once while calling out to the other elders. If the fiery-robed elder died, their side’s strength would be severely diminished.

However, Su Han remained utterly unfazed. His expression did not change, and his gaze remained fixed on the fiery-robed elder. As for the attacks from Ye Chuanfeng and the others, they were blocked by the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation, unable to harm Su Han for the time being.

”One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!”

At this moment, Su Han made his move. He formed a sword with his fingers and unleashed the Divine Method he had just acquired, slashing directly at the fiery-robed elder.

CRACK!

A Sword Qi the size of a chopstick condensed at Su Han’s fingertips. It seemed weak, but it effortlessly tore through space, carving a pitch-black spatial rift. The Sword Qi then surged forward, heading straight for the fiery-robed elder.

He was already suppressed by the Sea Eye Holy Stone and had been mangled by the Ice-Fire Lotus. He had no strength left to defend against this Sword Qi.

With a sickening slice, the Sword Qi struck the fiery-robed elder across the neck, killing him on the spot.

His blood-stained head flew high into the air, his face frozen in a mask of profound shock and despair. He had acted on Ye Chuanfeng’s promise, tempted by greed for the Holy Artifact. He had thought this would be a surefire battle, yet he never imagined he would die here—so quickly, so helplessly. This filled him with bitter indignation and an intense fear of Su Han.

How did this young man become so terrifying?

Unfortunately, the fiery-robed elder’s question would never be answered. Su Han’s Divine Sense pierced directly through his sea of consciousness, giving his soul no chance to escape.

THUD!

The corpse of the fiery-robed elder plummeted from the sky, crashing onto Yaoguang Peak and kicking up a cloud of dust.

He was the second Supreme Realm expert to die. Ye Chuanfeng’s group of eleven was now down to nine.

”Elder Fu is dead!”

Seeing the fiery-robed elder killed, the other elders turned pale, their hearts seized with terror. Elder Fu was a powerhouse at the Sixth Layer of the Supreme Realm, second only to Ye Chuanfeng. If even he could be killed, what chance did they have? No one wanted to die. For a moment, hesitation gripped them all.

”If we don’t kill him, he’ll kill us! Do you really think you can escape?” Seeing the faltering morale, Ye Chuanfeng roared. ”Join forces, form an array! Kill him, and we each get a Holy Artifact!” If they fled out of fear, his plan to kill Su Han would be ruined. He had to stabilize their resolve now.

”Kill!”

Ye Chuanfeng’s words, combined with the lure of a Holy Artifact, reignited the elders’ fighting spirit. Their eyes turned blood-red as they went all out, unleashing their strongest techniques against Su Han. At this point, no one held back. If Su Han didn’t die, they would.

Countless attacks flew in from all directions, each rivaling the power of a Heaven Rank Martial Skill. Numerous Divine Power Techniques manifested at once, all vowing to blast Su Han into dust.

Su Han’s eyes were like ice. He said nothing, simply pushing the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation to its limit, using eight Holy Artifacts to meet their assault.

At the tenth second, a newly promoted elder at the First Layer of the Supreme Realm was cleaved in two by the Black Blade, his flesh and blood instantly devoured.

At the fifteenth second, a second new elder at the First Layer of the Supreme Realm was struck by the Dragon Slaying Demon Banner. Its draconic bane invaded his body, inflicting fatal injuries that killed him instantly.

At the twenty-seventh second, the Peak Master of Yuheng Peak was decapitated by the Cold Iron Holy Sword, dead beyond any doubt.

...

At the fifty-ninth second, the seventh elder was sliced in half at the waist by the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel, his intestines spilling out in a gory mess.

By now, with the exception of Ye Chuanfeng and the Supreme Elder fighting Lei Ming, all the others were dead.

At this moment, Su Han stood as a slayer of Supremes, his vicious might utterly terrifying.
