Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Tai Cang, the Sword God, was once the number one Sword Cultivator in the Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm. Even the Great Emperor Zhan Kong could only be considered a junior before him. The Duel Character Secret was also one of the Nine Secrets, capable of evolving all the laws of the world. Since Su Han had inherited the memories of Tai Cang and mastered the Duel Character Secret, imitating the Moon Slash Sword Technique was naturally effortless for him. The swordsmanship he manifested was clearly superior to the Nineteenth Prince’s, the gap between them plain to see.

The Devouring Demonic Domain was dark and profound, possessing a terrifying Devouring Power like a black hole that could swallow all things. Yet, when Su Han unleashed the Moon Slash Sword Technique through it, the attack was incomparably bright and brilliant, though also colder and completely devoid of emotion.

The core tenet of the Moon Slash Sword Technique lies in the concept of the ”slash,” which distinguishes it from the Piercing Star Sword Technique. Piercing is a point, while slashing is a line, covering a larger destructive area and proving far more lethal. Moreover, the technique’s high-speed rotation, much like the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel, used a cutting motion to augment its slashing power, allowing the bright moon of sword light to shatter everything in its path with irresistible force.

BOOM!

Before the Nineteenth Prince’s shocked eyes, the two Sword Light Bright Moons collided violently. A terrifying blast of sword light erupted, tearing everything to shreds. Su Han’s Realm was higher and his mastery of the sword dao was far superior. While the Nineteenth Prince’s Sword Light Bright Moon dimmed and ultimately vanished, Su Han’s remained brilliant, a blade of light that seemed to cleave the very heavens.

”Not good!”

Watching the Sword Light Bright Moon rapidly approach, the Nineteenth Prince’s expression changed drastically. He quickly retrieved Defensive Treasures from his Storage Ring and activated various Talismans, hoping to block the strike. But, limited by the Reincarnation Path Mirror, he could only use Dao Grade treasures, which had limited power.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

One Defensive Treasure after another shattered, and Talisman after Talisman disintegrated. Nothing could withstand the Sword Light Bright Moon.

”Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms: Piercing Star!”

The Nineteenth Prince erupted with his full power, executing the Piercing Star Sword Technique once more. Only then did he manage to block the incredibly draining Sword Light Bright Moon.

The Nineteenth Prince’s face was pale as he gasped for breath, his forehead drenched in sweat. Although he was uninjured this time, his Spiritual Energy was severely depleted. Combined with his heavy consumption of treasures, his remaining trump cards were dwindling.

”Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! How do you know the Moon Slash Sword Technique? That’s a secret technique from the Sun, Moon, and Stellar Art!” the Nineteenth Prince cried, shaking his head, unable to accept this reality. It was one thing for Su Han to have mastered the Piercing Star Sword Technique, but to now display the Moon Slash Sword Technique as well... didn’t this mean Su Han also practiced the Sun, Moon, and Stellar Art, and at a level even more profound than his own?

”The Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms should have one last move,” Su Han said calmly. ”I’ll give you time to recover your Spiritual Energy. Go on, use your final technique.”

To the Nineteenth Prince, however, these words dripped with humiliation. He glared fiercely at Su Han before swiftly retrieving Healing Pills and Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring. As he quickly consumed and refined them, his mind seethed.

Too arrogant! Too conceited! How dare he let me recover? Since that’s the case, he can’t blame me for unleashing my strongest sword to cut him down!

The Nineteenth Prince wished he could slice Su Han into a thousand pieces, but he betrayed none of this on his face, focusing instead on his rapid recovery. Soon, he had returned to his peak condition. His Physique fused with his body, his Sword Domain shielded him, and the Big Dipper circled nearby as his Sword Intent soared to the heavens.

”I don’t know whether to call you arrogant or ignorant,” the Nineteenth Prince said, gritting his teeth with intense hatred. ”Since you wish to witness the final technique, I shall grant your death wish!”

Clutching the Cold Sword, he activated the Sun, Moon, and Stellar Art with all his might, pouring every last bit of his Spiritual Energy, Sword Intent, and Divine Sense into the blade. In an instant, the Cold Sword emitted a piercing shriek as a dazzling sword light erupted, illuminating the world. Countless beams of this light—radiant and bright, yet scorching like fire in a stark contrast to the cool moonlight from before—burst forth from the Cold Sword. They swept across the entire Starry Sky Sword Domain, finally coalescing into a Sword Sun a hundred meters wide.

This Sword Sun was formed from the entirety of the Nineteenth Prince’s Spiritual Energy, Sword Intent, and Divine Sense. However, it was a technique he had not yet truly mastered. The resulting orb was unstable, constantly distorting and trembling like a candle flame in the wind, threatening to extinguish at any moment.

”Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms: Sun Annihilation!”

The Nineteenth Prince gritted his teeth, his face pale and his body trembling as he used all his strength just to maintain the Sword Sun. Holding the sword with both hands high above his head, he fixed his gaze on Su Han and slashed down.

BOOM!

The hundred-meter Sword Sun tore across the sky toward Su Han. Space itself collapsed in its wake, leaving behind a pitch-black void.

The sword light becomes a sun, annihilating all of creation!

Once again leveraging the memories of Tai Cang, the Sword God, and the Duel Character Secret, Su Han manifested this ultimate technique. The Piercing Star Sword Technique was about piercing; the Moon Slash Sword Technique was about slashing; and the Sun Annihilation Sword Technique was about utter annihilation. This was annihilation in the truest sense—the complete and total destruction of all things until nothing remained. That was the essence of the move.

Su Han held his Longsword as a torrent of Demonic Qi surged into it. Although he lacked Sword Intent, he possessed an overwhelming Divine Sense, and the power of one hundred and three Divine Sense Stellars poured into the blade.

CRACK!

The Longsword in Su Han’s hand could not withstand such immense power and began to fracture on its own. And yet, a black Sword Sun formed within his Devouring Demonic Domain. It was also a hundred meters in size, but it was perfectly stable, far more solid than the one created by the Nineteenth Prince. In addition to the blade’s sharpness, it possessed a unique, dark Aura, as if the darkness from Holy Meteor Mountain had descended once more.

”This... this...” Seeing Su Han execute the Sun Annihilation Sword Technique, the Nineteenth Prince could no longer deny the cruel reality, no matter how much he wished to.

He actually improvised on the spot, stealing my own swordsmanship, and the version he wields is even more powerful than mine! What kind of monster is he, and where did he come from? How can anyone be so inhumanly talented? It’s utterly despairing!

Su Han paid no heed to the Nineteenth Prince’s breakdown. He slashed, and the Longsword in his hand instantly shattered into a cloud of iron filings. But the black Sword Sun had already taken shape, and it hurtled fiercely toward the prince. Within the space of the mirror, the two Sword Suns drew closer until they finally collided, unleashing a devastating explosion that ravaged and annihilated everything. Space collapsed, as if all of creation was being ground back into primordial chaos, ready to be remade.

Unfortunately, the Nineteenth Prince’s power was limited, and his execution of the Sun Annihilation Sword Technique was merely superficial. Against Su Han’s black Sword Sun, it held for only a moment before shattering, completely consumed by the dark power.

The black Sword Sun slammed into the Nineteenth Prince, sending him flying backward as he coughed up blood, severely wounded and utterly defeated.

”You’re too weak,” Su Han said, shaking his head.

The words made the Nineteenth Prince so furious that his vision went black, and he fainted on the spot.
