Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Previously, the Eighth Prince was stabbed in what could be called an unprepared sneak attack. This time, however, the sword strike was fair and square, yet he was once again sent flying, coughing up blood. From this, it was clear that although the Nineteenth Prince was arrogant, he indeed had the capital to back it up!

Impossible. When did my younger brother, the Nineteenth Prince, become so strong? The Thirteenth Princess’s expression changed slightly as she watched the scene in disbelief. As a royal princess, she was quite clear about the strengths of her fellow princes and princesses. Although the Nineteenth Prince’s talent was comparable to that of the Second and Third Princes, his cultivation time was short due to his young age, so his power wasn’t considered significant. The Eighth Prince had cultivated rigorously since he was young and now possessed the strength of the Supreme Realm Fifth Layer. Furthermore, the cultivation techniques and martial techniques he practiced were extraordinary. How could he possibly lose to the Nineteenth Prince? The Thirteenth Princess was utterly perplexed. Her beautiful eyes shifted, landing on Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue nearby. The only explanation must be connected to these two remnants of the Myriad Swords Sect. Could it be that the Nineteenth Prince really obtained the legendary Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique? This isn’t good news for the other princes and princesses. After all, the Heavenly Sword Dynasty has coveted the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique for years to no avail. If the Nineteenth Prince really obtained it, it would be a monumental achievement. If Father Emperor bestows a heavy reward upon him, the gap between them will widen instantly. I need to think of a way to suppress my younger brother, the Nineteenth Prince, and preferably get those two remnants from the Myriad Swords Sect under my control.

At this moment, the Thirteenth Princess harbored the same idea as the Eighth Prince.

Meanwhile, on the Arena of Sword Discourse, the battle was far from over. The Eighth Prince sprang to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glared at Su Han. A fiery rage erupted from his eyes, seeming to threaten to burn down the heavens. He was filled with hatred, fury, and madness! The fact that he, a cultivator three minor realms higher than the Nineteenth Prince, was defeated was something his prideful heart could not accept.

This was no longer a mere matter of face—it was a struggle between princes. He would never allow himself to be trampled under the Nineteenth Prince’s feet.

”Nineteenth Brother, you have completely enraged me!”

The Eighth Prince clenched his teeth and made his move. His aura surged explosively as he activated his Physique Fusion. A faint Dragon’s Might burst from his body, making him resemble a divine being with a dragon’s head and a human body.

”Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique!”

The swordsmanship practiced by the Eighth Prince was unique, related to the Dragon Clan, and possessed a significant background. Gripping the Dragon Patterned Black Gold Sword, he unfurled his Domain as the power of time swirled around him. His entire body was enveloped in a rich Sword Intent before he lunged toward Su Han.

”Hmph!” Su Han snorted coldly, his arrogance on full display. He held the Seven Stars Holy Sword, manipulated it with the Secret of the Soldier Character, employed his martial techniques with the Secret of the Warrior Character, and augmented his movements with the speed of the Character Technique of Motion. His combat power was already extraordinary.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

The crowd looked up to see sword lights crisscrossing the Arena of Sword Discourse. The piercing screech of metal on metal resonated through the heavens and earth, like a magnificent fireworks display—beautiful beyond compare. However, the terrifying battle fluctuations, the fierce Sword Qi, and the tumultuous clash of Sword Intent all spoke of the battle’s perilous nature.

Amidst this intense combat, not only did Su Han avoid being at a disadvantage, but he continued to dominate. No matter how ferocious the Eighth Prince’s assault became, he could not overwhelm Su Han.

Gradually, the crowd’s perception of Su Han began to change. The Nineteenth Prince, though conceited and arrogant, truly had the capital to back it up. He was pressing the Eighth Prince in battle despite being three minor realms lower. This level of strength already surpassed that of most of the other princes. Previously, the Nineteenth Prince was only comparable to the Second and Third Princes in talent. Now, it seemed his strength would soon catch up to the two renowned princes as well.

”Heavenly Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Seven Swords Slay the True Dragon!”

The Eighth Prince was livid with rage, his aura surging. Boundless Spiritual Energy poured into his Dragon Patterned Black Gold Sword, and a terrifying Sword Momentum exploded forth, making everyone’s heart tremble.

CRACK!

As the Eighth Prince executed the strongest technique of his Dragon-Slaying Sword Technique, a single slash produced seven streaks of Sword Radiance in mid-air. Each one was as tangible as a physical object, not some mere illusion. A vague dragon shadow materialized among them, only to be sliced into eight segments by the seven streaks of Sword Radiance, wailing as it awaited its demise.

SWISH!

Under the Eighth Prince’s control, the seven streaks of Sword Radiance swiftly slashed toward Su Han, as if intending to slice him into eight pieces like a True Dragon. This single strike cleaved space itself, leaving behind a fragmented, soul-shaking sight. The terrifying pressure caused the complexion of every spectator to change.

Aside from the Saint Heirs and Holy Maidens, they knew they could not defend against this attack and would inevitably be slain.

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

Su Han brandished the Seven Stars Holy Sword, executing the Nineteenth Prince’s strongest swordsmanship. Within his Star Sky Domain, countless sword lights converged into a resplendent, hundred-meter Sword Sun. Unlike the Sword Light Bright Moon, this attack was filled with violence and savagery. Its mere appearance distorted space, as if the very fabric of reality could not withstand its existence.

”Slash!”

Su Han swung his sword, and the hundred-meter Sword Sun thundered into motion. It swept forward like a solar deity on an imperial tour, shattering space, dissipating clouds, and obliterating everything in its path.

BOOM!

The hundred-meter Sword Sun collided with the seven streaks of Sword Radiance, and in that instant, it exploded.

The core of the Sun Annihilation Sword Technique was the concept of ”Annihilation” itself. It didn’t just signify severing and sharpness, but the utter destruction of tearing everything asunder.

As the hundred-meter Sword Sun burst, countless fierce sword lights shot out in all directions, wreaking havoc. Some Sword Cultivators near the Arena of Sword Discourse were unable to withstand the aftershock and were instantly slashed and bloodied, sent flying while coughing up blood before collapsing with severe injuries. The other Sword Cultivators’ expressions changed as they rapidly drew their swords to defend, but many were still injured, a testament to the immense power of the attack.

On the Arena of Sword Discourse, the seven streaks of Sword Radiance unleashed by the Eighth Prince were engulfed by the innumerable sword lights from the Sword Sun’s explosion. Amidst incessant clanging, the seven streaks finally gave way, shattering into a sky full of glittering light.

But the power of the Sword Sun had not yet dissipated. It swept ferociously toward the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince’s face went pale as he sensed an unprecedented mortal crisis. He quickly brought out his Defensive Treasures and activated the Python Robe he wore. Instantly, nine pythons materialized, coiling around his body to form a potent protective light barrier.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The destructive force of the hundred-meter Sword Sun was simply too immense. Moreover, with Su Han executing it using the Secret of the Warrior Character, its power surpassed even what the Nineteenth Prince could produce. One by one, the Eighth Prince’s Defensive Treasures shattered. Finally, the Nine Pythons Protective Barrier also collapsed. Countless sword lights engulfed the Eighth Prince, slashing his torso into a bloody pulp as his body crashed to the ground, leaving him barely clinging to life.

This one strike had thoroughly defeated the Eighth Prince.

If this were a mere sword duel, the battle would have concluded here. But the Eighth Prince’s eyes blazed with fire, his face crimson with intense indignation and rage.

”Ahhh! I cannot possibly lose to you!”

”Low Grade Forbidden Technique: Great Extinguishing Sword!”
