Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

BOOM!

Su Han was sent flying by the hundred-meter dragon claw, smashing violently into the ground and carving out a massive pit.

He was not injured. Though the dragon claw was powerful, his Unrivaled Physical Body was fearless. As for the life-sapping Death Qi, it was utterly useless against his invulnerability to all evil.

”Nine Heavens Eye!”

Su Han shot to his feet and activated the Nine Heavens Eye, seeing through the Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation. The mastermind behind this likely never expected that Su Han was not only exceptionally powerful but also an Array Master. Although this Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation was a Low-Grade Holy Formation, he could break it given enough time.

”Glyph Secret!”

While scanning with the Nine Heavens Eye, Su Han simultaneously employed the Glyph Secret and began to unravel the formation.

WHOOSH!

However, the hundred-man squad had no intention of letting Su Han break the formation in peace. They swung their swords in unison once more, and over a hundred streams of Sword Radiance merged, condensing again into a kilometer-long Sword Radiance that slashed down toward Su Han.

Not only that, but they also expanded their Domains, linking them into a single, overwhelming field. They advanced on him step by step, intending to compress his room to maneuver and force him into a desperate corner. The combined power of the Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation and the hundred-man squad was astonishingly potent, forcing even Su Han to face it with his full strength.

But he did not draw the Black Blade or reveal his true strength, opting to fight only with the techniques of the Nineteenth Prince. He suspected that Saint Bai Xu and the Iron Grinding Saint were watching from nearby, and exposing his true identity could lead to unnecessary complications down the line.

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

Gripping the Soul Severing Sword, Su Han unleashed his Slaughter Sword Intent and executed the Nineteenth Prince’s Piercing Star Sword Technique. A massive stellar shadow materialized, except this one was pitch-black, like a Dark Stellar. The sword lunge tore through space and shattered the kilometer-long Sword Radiance, but the hundred-man squad remained unaffected. They continued their relentless advance, slashing with their swords.

Although their combat style was simple, it was brutally effective. They moved in perfect unison, forming an impenetrable wall that left Su Han temporarily unable to find an opening.

RUMBLE!

Su Han continuously swung his sword, shattering the kilometer-long Sword Radiances the squad sent at him. He was dividing his attention, with half of his focus dedicated to breaking the formation. As time passed, the squad pressed closer and closer, squeezing his room for survival until it was almost gone.

”Starry Sky Sword Domain!”

Finally, with nowhere left to retreat, Su Han was forced to manifest a simulated Domain to defend himself. But how could his single Domain possibly contend with the combined power of over a hundred? The pressure mounted until his face flushed red and his body swayed, as if he would collapse at any moment.

It’s done!

Just as the Starry Sky Sword Domain was about to shatter, a brilliant light flashed in Su Han’s eyes, his heart surging with excitement.

At that moment, a hundred-meter dragon claw composed of Formation Patterns reached for him, aiming to crush him into pulp.

”Glyph Secret!”

Su Han pointed a finger, and the massive dragon claw froze instantly. Then, the entire claw crumbled like sand as its Formation Patterns scattered and dispersed into nothing. Immediately, Su Han struck again to break the Great Formation. The kilometer-long Nether Dragon, built from Formation Patterns, disintegrated like a sandcastle against the tide, collapsing into nothingness.

The Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation was broken!

Time to turn the tables!

Within his sea of consciousness, one hundred and eight Divine Sense Stellars lit up simultaneously, unleashing an immense torrent of Divine Sense. Aided by the power of the Glyph Secret, Su Han intended to reverse-control the Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation. In this life-and-death struggle, his potential was forced to the surface. In less than three minutes, he actually succeeded. The Formation Patterns flared to life once more, coalescing again into a kilometer-long Nether Dragon, but this time, it was under Su Han’s command.

”Go!”

With a thought, Su Han sent the kilometer-long Nether Dragon lunging toward the hundred-man squad.

The Nether Dragon, being a creation of a Holy Formation, possessed power comparable to a Saint’s strike. The squad, working together, also wielded the power of a Saint. When the two forces collided, the result was a massive explosion.

Formation Patterns warped, dense Death Qi saturated the air, space trembled, time distorted, and Sword Radiance shattered.

When the dust settled, only half of the kilometer-long Nether Dragon remained, its Formation Patterns dim and on the verge of dissipating completely. The hundred-man squad hadn’t fared much better. Their numbers had been reduced to sixty-one, and every survivor was injured and in a pitiful state.

Attack again!

Su Han felt no remorse using the Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation, as it was not his to begin with. He commanded the tattered half of the kilometer-long Nether Dragon to lunge at the Black-Armored Dead Soldiers once more.

RUMBLE!

The earth cracked open and space collapsed. Terrifying energy whipped into a storm that swept across the land, annihilating everything in its path and leaving behind a horrifying scene devoid of life. Under Su Han’s control, the Nether Dragon relentlessly attacked, blasting one Black-Armored Dead Soldier after another into paste.

However, the Nether Dragon Slaying Prison Formation had sustained too much damage. Finally, the kilometer-long Nether Dragon crumbled with a deafening roar, and every last Formation Pattern vanished. The formation was completely destroyed.

Of the hundred-man squad, only eighteen remained. Three were critically injured and fifteen had minor wounds, a truly tragic sight. It was a battle where both sides suffered devastating losses, yet Su Han stood completely unscathed, emerging as the sole beneficiary.

WHOOSH!

Su Han executed the Character Technique of Motion. His figure flickered and burst forward at supersonic speed, charging toward the eighteen remaining Black-Armored Dead Soldiers.

”Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms—Moon Slash!”

Wielding the Soul Severing Sword and empowered by his Slaughter Sword Intent, Su Han slashed out. A gleaming Sword Light Bright Moon materialized, spinning at high speed and generating a terrifying cutting force.

SLICE! SLICE! SLICE!

The Sword Light Bright Moon swept out, cleaving through their Domains and slicing the three critically injured Black-Armored Dead Soldiers in half at the waist, leaving them in pieces.

Yet, the remaining fifteen Black-Armored Dead Soldiers showed no emotion. They maintained their Domains and raised their longswords, charging Su Han without a hint of fear. Their coordination was impeccable, their War Formation was sophisticated, and most importantly, they were utterly fearless, ignoring pain and death. This made them incredibly difficult opponents.

”Kill!”

The killing intent in Su Han’s eyes was ice-cold as he pushed his Slaughter Sword Intent to its absolute limit. He emanated a murderous aura, as if possessed by a God of Slaughter hell-bent on annihilating all life. The Soul Severing Sword was a true Sword of Slaughter, and when combined with his Slaughter Sword Intent, its power was even more fearsome. Even at the Second Layer of the Supreme Realm, Su Han could easily cut down the Black-Armored Dead Soldiers.

THWACK!

A single slash arced through the air, sending a Dead Soldier’s head flying as blood sprayed in all directions.

WHOOSH!

He used the Piercing Star Sword Technique again. The sword, sharp as a spear, punched through another Dead Soldier’s skull.

CRUNCH!

Engaging in close combat, Su Han balled his left hand into a fist and punched, exploding another Dead Soldier’s head and splattering brain matter everywhere.

Su Han attacked relentlessly. He was a decisive killer, each movement brimming with lethal intent, and every strike claimed the life of a Black-Armored Dead Soldier. It was clear these soldiers had their realms forcibly enhanced with a Special Secret Technique; their overall combat strength was not that formidable.

Finally, the last of the Black-Armored Dead Soldiers fell. Su Han stood alone with his sword, his Python Robe drenched in blood, looking like an invincible War God.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded out.

”I never expected Your Highness to be not only a swordsmanship prodigy but also an Array Master. You hide your talents well!”
