Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Even if the Nineteenth Prince had trump cards, he could not possibly be an Evil Demon. He was a royal prince; from the moment of his birth, his bloodline would have been checked. Any slight discrepancy would have been discovered immediately. Moreover, although my understanding of the Nineteenth Prince is limited, I’ve heard quite a few rumors about him over the years. The previous Nineteenth Prince had innate talent, but that was all. He wasn’t particularly powerful and was still mentally immature due to his youth.

However, in the recent period, this Nineteenth Prince seems to have become a completely different person. He rose to prominence unexpectedly during the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference and ventured into the Yuelan Ancient Battlefield alone, emerging unscathed. He is also an Array Master.

All of this is drastically different from my impression of the Nineteenth Prince. It would be impossible for him to have hidden his abilities so well before. Becoming an Array Master is not something that happens overnight, and how could this Demon State be explained?

The only explanation is that the real Nineteenth Prince was killed long ago. This person, of unknown origin, is impersonating the Nineteenth Prince flawlessly. What is his purpose? How did he manage to kill the Nineteenth Prince without arousing the suspicions of the Crane Sword Saint? Who is he really?

One question after another rose in Bai Xu Saint’s mind. He suddenly realized he had unearthed a shocking secret—one that only he knew. However, one thing was clear to him: between himself and Su Han, one of them was bound to die here today. He had exposed the ambitions of the Second and Third Princes, while Su Han had revealed his true identity.

”Demonic Bewitchment!”

Su Han ignored Bai Xu Saint’s shock and doubts. He had only one thought—to kill Bai Xu Saint. Holding the Black Blade in his right hand, he immediately unleashed the ability gained after unlocking its Second Layer seal. The eyes of the green-faced, sharp-fanged demon on the hilt suddenly lit up, emitting a strange Demonic Light that shone directly into Bai Xu Saint’s eyes.

This Demonic Light was unstoppable and impossible to defend against. In an instant, Bai Xu Saint succumbed. A Heart Demon sprouted from the depths of his heart and grew rapidly, eroding his Heart Spirit, seeking to destroy his Dao Heart and lead him into demonic bewitchment.

”What kind of power is this? It can actually draw out my Heart Demon?” Bai Xu Saint’s expression changed drastically as he stared at Su Han in disbelief. Although Heart Demons were difficult to deal with, they were also hard to create. Yet, this one was growing at an alarming rate, frantically assaulting his Heart Spirit and threatening to shatter his Dao Heart. His expression was exceptionally grim. Now, he had to divide his attention to deal with the Heart Demon, which further weakened his already declining strength.

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

Su Han remained silent as he acted. Surging Demonic Qi flowed into the Black Blade, instantly intertwining into Yin Yang Thunder. The Time Magic Pattern on the hilt lit up, infusing the slash with the power of time.

CRACK!

The roar of the thunder dragon transformed into a blade of light. It carried not only destructive power but also Soul Devouring and Bloodthirsty abilities. Bolstered by the force of time, it was impossible for Bai Xu Saint to avoid.

”One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!”

At the same time, Su Han brandished the Soul Severing Sword in his left hand. Imbuing it with Slaughter Sword Intent, he unleashed a wave of Slaughter Sword Qi. Instantly, a five-meter-long slash of Slaughter Sword Qi, as black as ink, manifested. It looked like a fissure from the abyss, capable of swallowing everything and slaughtering all living beings.

A blade and a sword, both powerful finishing moves, were launched simultaneously. Bai Xu Saint had not held back against Su Han, and Su Han naturally didn’t dare to be complacent. After all, this was a Saint, a powerhouse at the Saint Realm Fourth Layer. Any carelessness could be fatal.

Feeling the power of the blade and sword, Bai Xu Saint’s pupils shrank. He realized he had still underestimated Su Han; these two attacks could actually threaten his life. At this life-and-death moment, Bai Xu Saint’s spirit tensed, and he didn’t dare to relax in the slightest. He knew that he truly faced an unprecedented crisis. A single misstep, and he might fall here today.

”Azure Waves Sword Technique!”

Gripping the Dark Blue Holy Sword, Bai Xu Saint’s body erupted with Spiritual Energy. His Holy Might surged as he executed his most powerful Azure Waves Sword Technique.

CRASH!

With a single slash, the sword light transformed into a thousand-zhang giant wave. He swung his sword continuously, producing nine beams of sword light that formed nine overlapping, thousand-zhang giant waves, each layer possessing immense and unmatched power.

BOOM! RUMBLE!

The collision of blade and sword rocked the heavens. The surrounding space was blasted apart in a series of continuous explosions. The dreadful fluctuations turned into a storm that swept out violently, causing Su Han’s and Bai Xu Saint’s garments to flutter wildly. Bai Xu Saint staggered backward more than ten meters. A sweet taste filled his throat, and he spurted a mouthful of fresh blood, his face growing even paler. He was gravely injured and had to divide his attention to suppress his Heart Demon. His Combat Power was now no match for Su Han’s, and he had fallen to a disadvantage.

”Devouring Demonic Domain, open!”

Su Han gave Bai Xu Saint no time to regroup. Black light surged forth, forming a deep, abyssal Devouring Demonic Domain. A terrifying Devouring Power emanated from it, consuming Bai Xu Saint’s Spiritual Energy. It was a pity that the Shore Flower Clone had self-destructed while dealing with the million Yin soldiers and could not be recondensed for now. Otherwise, with the Shore Flower Clone, Su Han would have held an even greater advantage.

But this was enough for now. At his peak state against the heavily injured Bai Xu Saint, he continuously slashed with the Soul Severing Sword and Black Blade. Blade light filled the sky and Sword Qi crisscrossed through the air. Bai Xu Saint was unable to defend himself and was beaten back step by step, appearing increasingly feeble.

”Demon Storm!”

The Demonic Wings behind Su Han flapped violently, creating a terrifying storm. This storm was filled with evil and violence, and within it, demons roared. It could not only harm the physical body but also pierce one’s Sea of Consciousness.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Power: Sword Light like the Sea!”

Bai Xu Saint gritted his teeth and circulated what little Spiritual Energy he had left, unleashing his Divine Power Technique. Instantly, countless beams of sword light whistled out, forming a thousand-meter-wide sea of swords that could destroy mountains and oceans, crushing everything in its path. Even space could not withstand it; it was cleaved into smithereens, threatening to collapse entirely.

BOOM!

The sea of swords collided with the Demon Storm, instantly setting off a terrifying wave of destruction. The entire mirror space shook violently, as if on the verge of collapse. Spatial rifts spread rapidly like a spiderweb, causing Su Han to frown slightly.

After all, the Reincarnation Path Mirror is only an Intermediate Grade Holy Artifact, not an invincible object. It has endured many great battles, and this space within the mirror is already somewhat damaged. It seems it isn’t far from being scrapped.

Putting the issue with the Reincarnation Path Mirror aside for now, the most pressing matter was to kill Bai Xu Saint quickly. The Nine Heavens Eye between Su Han’s eyebrows lit up. A beam of Nine Heavens Divine Light shot out abruptly, striking Bai Xu Saint between his eyes and attacking his Sea of Consciousness. Simultaneously, Su Han brandished the Soul Severing Sword and Black Blade, attacking with overwhelming force and making it impossible for Bai Xu Saint to defend against the Nine Heavens Divine Light.

”Ah!”

Most of Bai Xu Saint’s Divine Sense was focused on suppressing the Heart Demon, leaving him powerless to block the Nine Heavens Divine Light. In an instant, the Divine Light broke through his Sea of Consciousness. He let out a blood-curdling scream as he was thrown backward, landing on the ground with a thud. With one strike, Bai Xu Saint’s Sea of Consciousness was grievously wounded.
