Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Though Sword Maniac and the others were strong, a significant gap still remained between them and Su Han. Moreover, Su Han’s combat power had increased tremendously after he put on the Ghostly Face Mask. He attacked with his full strength, killing Sword Maniac and the others with effortless ease. By the time Rotten Corpse Saint began to regain control of the sick corpse, Sword Maniac and his companions were already dead.

So powerful! While struggling to reclaim control over the sick corpse, Rotten Corpse Saint sensed the deaths of Sword Maniac and the others. His heart skipped a beat, shocked by the revelation.

He knew that Sword Maniac was born into an Imperial Clan, and Sword Lunatic also possessed extraordinary innate talent. Yun Jin Holy Maiden and Heartless Saint Heir were geniuses of the highest caliber. However, they were no match for Su Han and were easily slain. The disparity was simply too great.

Is it because he cultivated for three months in the Myriad Virtual Realm? Or is it that Demonic Weapon mask? Su Han’s own realm was only the Supreme Realm Seventh Level, yet he possessed combat power that far exceeded it. This was highly abnormal. Ordinary geniuses weren’t this powerful; only the monstrous prodigies ranked in the top one hundred on the Hidden Dragon List could compare. But which of those prodigies wasn’t famous far and wide and hailed as a Saint Heir or Imperial Son? How could he be the Nineteenth Prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty?

Rotten Corpse Saint couldn’t figure it out, but he had no time to dwell on it. With Sword Maniac’s group dead, Su Han was already charging toward him with the Cloud Mist Puppet. If he couldn’t regain control of the sick corpse soon, he feared that he himself would be in danger.

”Heartblood Continuation Technique!”

Rotten Corpse Saint suddenly slapped his chest, his face paling to an extreme degree as he spat out a mouthful of dark red heartblood. Under his control, the heartblood writhed and flew directly into the sick corpse. Using a special secret technique, it severed the corpse’s connection to the Mysterious Yin Corpse Refining Formation, allowing him to reclaim control. Rotten Corpse Saint was heartbroken. Although the method was effective, it came at a great cost. Not only could the sick corpse no longer be refined, but he had also expended a mouthful of heartblood, leaving him weakened.

But he had, at last, regained control of the sick corpse. With the two of them joining forces, they were equivalent to two Saints. Their combined strength was overwhelming, far beyond what someone in the Supreme Realm could possibly withstand.

”No matter how much you struggle, your ultimate fate is a dead end!”

Rotten Corpse Saint took out an Elixir and consumed it to quickly recover his depleted heartblood. He stared coldly at Su Han, his hands forming a gesture incantation and manipulating the sick corpse to attack.

”Disease Qi Rampage!”

As a Corpse Refiner, Rotten Corpse Saint’s combat power soared with the sick corpse back under his control. A vast tide of disease qi burst from the sick corpse, transforming into a violent surge. It was so corrosive that it rotted the very space it passed through, as if infecting it with illness. The overwhelming tide of disease qi immediately engulfed the Cloud Mist Puppet, blowing it apart, as it was completely unable to withstand the onslaught.

”Invulnerable to All Evils!”

Su Han was still clad in the green light armor, which hadn’t completely dissipated. He used it to shield himself from the Disease Qi Rampage. As for the corrosive disease qi, it was utterly useless against him.

What kind of physique is this? It can completely disregard my disease qi? Rotten Corpse Saint was greatly taken aback, staring at Su Han in disbelief. He had never encountered such a situation. His disease qi was potent enough to make people sick and leave them vulnerable. Even those who could resist it had to rely on secret techniques or treasures. Yet, he had never seen anyone like Su Han, who could negate the corrosive disease qi with his physique alone. This... this is simply inconceivable!

”Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation!”

Seizing the moment of Rotten Corpse Saint’s surprise, Su Han reached out. Instantly, a number of formation flags flew out. Their formation patterns manifested and swiftly intertwined to form a Great Formation, which Su Han then reinforced by taking out eight Holy Artifacts.

What? So many Holy Artifacts! Rotten Corpse Saint was shocked. Although he was a Saint, the White Bone Saint Banner was his only Holy Artifact; all his other assets were invested in the sick corpse. Su Han, on the other hand, had just produced eight Holy Artifacts. Including the Soul Severing Sword in his hand, that was a total of nine. There might be even more. Even for a prince of the Heavenly Sword Dynasty, this was excessive. However, Rotten Corpse Saint didn’t know much about the Nineteenth Prince, so he didn’t doubt Su Han’s identity. He was simply astonished by Su Han’s power and the number of treasures he possessed.

”Trap!”

Su Han’s imposing Divine Sense surged out to control the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation, instantly trapping the sick corpse within. He had no intention of expending too much energy on the corpse. Although powerful, it was still just a mindless body manipulated like a puppet by Rotten Corpse Saint. Therefore, Su Han only needed to trap the sick corpse and kill Rotten Corpse Saint to resolve the situation.

”ROAR!”

The sick corpse let out an angry roar. Its disease qi burst forth, shattering the surrounding space, but it was unable to break through the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation. Although Su Han couldn’t unleash the full power of the Holy Artifacts, the formation allowed him to draw upon fifty percent of each artifact’s power. The combined might of eight such artifacts was formidable, making it more than enough to trap the sick corpse. A genuine Saint Realm Third Layer expert might have been able to escape the formation, but the sick corpse had an unchangeable flaw. No matter how wildly it roared and lashed out, it could not break free.

”Divine Skill: Blossoming with One Thought!”

Su Han executed the Character Technique of Motion, heading straight for Rotten Corpse Saint. At the same time, he quickly used another Divine Skill to condense a Shore Flower Clone. Rotten Corpse Saint was a Saint Realm powerhouse, after all, and Su Han didn’t dare to underestimate him. He went all-out from the start, determined to give his opponent no opportunities.

A doppelganger technique with one hundred percent of the original’s power? Rotten Corpse Saint was shocked again. He tried to command the sick corpse to break through the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation, but it was useless. Decisively abandoning the attempt, he recognized that killing Su Han was the real key.

”Heaven-rank Low-level Martial Technique: Death Qi Ming Light!”

Rotten Corpse Saint moved quickly, driving the White Bone Saint Banner with all his might. Death Qi condensed and transformed into a ray of Ming Light filled with a profound deathly intent, capable of severing a person’s life force and obliterating them completely.

”One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!”

Facing the strike of a Saint, Su Han didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless. Wielding the Soul Severing Sword, he unleashed an eight-meter-long beam of Slaughter Sword Qi.

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

Simultaneously, Su Han drew the Black Blade and activated the Time Demonic Pattern on it. He immediately slashed out, and a stunning Thunder Dragon Saber Aura rose, joining the Slaughter Sword Qi to meet the Death Qi Ming Light.

BOOM!

The void exploded with a heaven-shaking rumble as intense shockwaves radiated outwards. Su Han’s all-out attack successfully blocked Rotten Corpse Saint’s strike. The Death Qi Ming Light dissipated, but so did the Slaughter Sword Qi and the Thunder Dragon Saber Aura.

”Cursing Killing Nether Technique!”

”Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method!”

”Spiritual Freeze!”

The Shore Flower Clone rapidly unleashed various Origin Techniques and Divine Methods, all directed at Rotten Corpse Saint. Even if they couldn’t inflict serious injury, they created enough interference to overwhelm the Saint.

”Great Luo Vajra Fist!”

Seizing the opportunity, Su Han closed the distance and threw a punch, sending Rotten Corpse Saint flying.

In that moment, Su Han had turned the tables and gained the upper hand.
