Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The strength of the Mysterious Great Sword Saint was far too overwhelming; the moment he appeared, he was filled with absolute dominance and tyranny.

Now with the Mysterious Void Holy Sword in hand, a single strand of Great Freedom Sword Qi actually sliced the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint cleanly in half at the waist. Holy Blood sprayed wildly, staining the heavens scarlet, shocking everyone so hard that their pupils suddenly contracted, almost splitting apart in horror.

The Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint was slain with one sword?

Everyone’s hearts trembled furiously. The Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint was a Great Saint within the Saint Realm, gifted beyond measure, terrifyingly powerful. The Mysterious Great Sword Saint had not yet become an Emperor—how could he possibly sever the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint with a single sword strike!

Yet the fact lay right before their eyes; no one could disbelieve it. The Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint’s waist was cut with a mirror-smooth edge, Holy Blood and intestines spilling out, miserably tragic.

Swoosh!

But just then, the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint turned into a bolt of lightning and abruptly vanished from where he stood, reappearing in the next instant behind the Dead Rain Great Saint.

The Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint had not died. He possessed an extremely precious Life-Saving Emperor Talisman—an Emperor Level treasure that could die in his stead, his life-preserving trump card of incomparable value.

However, though the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint did not die, his face was bloodless, his Qi-Blood decaying, his life force waning, his injuries grievous.

”A Life-Saving Emperor Talisman? If I wish to kill you, no Emperor Seal can save you!”

The Mysterious Great Sword Saint cast a surprised glance at the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint, quickly guessing the truth. But if he could kill once, he could kill a second time. He did not believe that the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint still held a second Life-Saving Emperor Talisman.

”Your opponent is me!”

The Black Cloud Great Saint blocked the Mysterious Great Sword Saint’s path. His strength was slightly superior to that of the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint, but only marginally; even the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint had been cut in half, so naturally he too could not withstand it.

But he had to delay the Mysterious Great Sword Saint, had to win time for the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint and the Dead Rain Great Saint to kill Su Han. Only thus could they seize victory in this battle; otherwise, everything would be lost.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Skills: God of Cloud and Mist!”

The Black Cloud Great Saint unleashed his Divine Power Technique. The rolling black clouds in the sky surged toward him at speed. At the same time, he activated Physique Fusion, expanding his Domain, using the Heaven-Blanketing Curtain as a cloak to shroud his body.

Boom!

In the end, the Black Cloud Great Saint fused with the rolling black clouds, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall giant, pitch-black throughout, his face veiled in storm clouds.

”Blue Gold Holy Spear, Black Gold Holy Shield!”

The Black Cloud Great Saint reached out and seized two Intermediate Grade Holy Artifacts—one offensive, one defensive—gripping them in his hands.

This was the strongest form of the Black Cloud Great Saint; he would now use it to stall the Mysterious Great Sword Saint.

”You’re nothing but an ant.”

The Mysterious Great Sword Saint’s gaze was razor sharp; he did not take the Black Cloud Great Saint seriously at all.

”Heaven Rank Intermediate Martial Technique: Flying Star Moon Slash!”

With the Mysterious Void Holy Sword in hand, Sword Intent surged through the Mysterious Great Sword Saint’s entire body, condensing into near-tangible force. Every strand of his white hair stood on end—each one infused with terrifying Sword Intent.

In the next instant, the Mysterious Great Sword Saint stepped forward and slashed toward the Black Cloud Great Saint. A dazzling Sword Radiance tore the sky apart, like a primordial strike that split heaven and earth, carrying boundless Sword Intent as it shot straight for the Black Cloud Great Saint.

The Black Cloud Great Saint gripped Holy Spear and Holy Shield, the Heaven-Blanketing Curtain as his cloak boosting his defensive power. At this moment he attacked with everything he had, hoping to withstand this sword of the Mysterious Great Sword Saint.

Yet the Mysterious Great Sword Saint’s strength was far too great. This single sword could annihilate stars and carve apart the moon. The Black Gold Holy Shield in the Black Cloud Great Saint’s hand was directly cleaved into two pieces, and the sword’s momentum did not slacken, hacking the Blue Gold Holy Spear flying. In the end, the Sword Radiance crashed down on the Heaven-Blanketing Curtain.

Fortunately, the Heaven-Blanketing Curtain was a Supreme Grade Holy Artifact and was not shredded by this sword. Even so, the Black Cloud Great Saint was struck flying backward, his clouds scattering, his hundred-meter height shrinking down to eighty.

”Too strong... Is he truly about to sit down and pass away?”

The Black Cloud Great Saint’s heart was shaken beyond measure. He had known the Mysterious Great Sword Saint was powerful, but only through real combat did he truly grasp how terrifying the man was.

He had gone all out and still could not withstand him, whereas the Mysterious Great Sword Saint remained relaxed and unhurried, seeming not to have spent much strength. If a few more sword strikes like that came, he would no longer be able to hold on.

Yet at this point, the Dead Rain Great Saint and the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint were already attacking Su Han. As long as he kept the Sword Saint occupied, victory would be theirs.

Thinking of this, the Black Cloud Great Saint gritted his teeth and charged at the Mysterious Great Sword Saint once more.

Meanwhile, the Dead Rain Great Saint pressed forward step by step, her Death Nether Holy Whip lashing so hard that space thundered and shattered again and again, time itself twisting, the impact far-reaching. But her Death Nether Holy Whip was blocked by the chains formed from Formation Patterns, while her other attacks were dodged by Su Han using the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Holy Formation.

”Indestructible Lightning!”

This time, however, the Dead Rain Great Saint had help. Though the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint was heavily wounded, dealing with Su Han was still no problem. At this moment, the Indestructible Holy Mirror blazed with light, a ghastly pale bolt of lightning howling out, saturated with annihilating power.

”Character Technique of Motion!”

Su Han’s heart lurched. He quickly unleashed the Character Technique of Motion while simultaneously circulating the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Holy Formation, using the Power of Space-Time in this formation to protect himself.

Swoosh!

The Indestructible Lightning struck only empty air and did not hit Su Han.

”Heaven Rank Intermediate Martial Technique: Thousand Thunders, Myriad Bolts!”

The Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint knew just how critical the situation was. He could no longer care about his own expenditure. He once more unleashed a Heaven Rank Intermediate Martial Technique, pushing the Indestructible Holy Mirror in his hand to its utmost.

Instantly, over a thousand bolts of Indestructible Lightning erupted forth, each one capable of destroying heaven and earth. With Su Han’s current strength, if he took one bolt head-on, it would be enough to leave him gravely wounded and near death.

Su Han’s expression grew solemn. He fully activated the Character Technique of Motion, while simultaneously casting out strand after strand of Formation Patterns, trying to block these Indestructible Lightning bolts.

But there were simply too many Indestructible Lightning bolts. The Heaven-Sealing Earth-Locking Holy Formation was strong, yet Su Han had not completely mastered it. To resist the joint encirclement of two Great Saints was far too strained.

Rumble!

Bolt after bolt of Indestructible Lightning collided with the Formation Patterns, exploding in thunderous blasts. Over a thousand explosions merged together, forming an unimaginably terrifying shockwave of destruction. This detonation annihilated space, caused the Void to collapse, surging like a cataclysmic tide, shattering the world in all directions, wiping out clouds for miles. The scene was horrifying, like the end of days.

Bang!

Su Han was struck and blasted sideways by this terrifying wave of destruction. Even with his Great Accomplished Holy Body, he could not withstand it. He felt as though his internal organs were all rupturing, his four limbs and every bone in his body screaming in agony.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Skills: Water Droplet Piercing Stone!”

Right then, the Dead Rain Great Saint seized the opportunity, unleashing a powerful Divine Power Technique. Boundless black rain rapidly condensed, finally turning into a single pitch-black droplet, dim and heavy, yet glinting with a metallic sheen.

Swoosh!

The droplet shot out abruptly, traversing the Void, streaking straight toward Su Han. At the same time, the Death Nether Holy Whip in her hand tightly coiled around the chains of Formation Patterns, preventing them from blocking this black droplet.

Pu-chi!

Even with his strongest defenses and his Great Accomplished Holy Body, Su Han could not withstand the Dead Rain Great Saint’s Divine Power Technique. The black droplet struck him at once, piercing straight through his skin and drilling into his body.

The black droplet instantly exploded inside Su Han, transforming into an oceanic surge of Death Qi. That Death Qi rapidly corroded him, trying to erase Su Han’s life force entirely and leave him with no grave to rest in.

”It worked!”

Seeing this, the Lightning-Exterminating Great Saint’s eyes shone with wild ecstasy. In his mind, Su Han was now certain to die!
