Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Too strong!

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince, ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon List, truly possessed overwhelming strength, and a heavy weight settled in Su Han’s heart.

Even the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation can’t harm the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince. What technique could possibly defeat him?

At this moment, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince spoke confidently, considering Su Han easy prey, like a turtle in a jar ready to be caught.

"Origin Technique: Three Heads and Six Arms!"

Su Han cast the Origin Technique, instantly manifesting the miraculous sight of three heads and six arms. With one hand grasping a sword, another holding a saber, a third clenched into a fist, and a fourth condensing the Great Luo Divine Spear, he struck with his full might. His murderous aura roiled the heavens and earth as he launched his attack on the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince.

At this instant, Su Han had gone all out, holding nothing in reserve. He was acutely aware that if he held anything back against the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince, all hope would be utterly lost.

BOOM!

Su Han’s ferocious assault caused the lake water to explode, space to shatter, and time to warp, creating an apocalyptic scene.

However, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince was utterly unfazed. He countered the attacks from the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation with his Armor of Ages. Wielding the Time Holy Sword, he executed powerful swordsmanship from the Sword Scripture of Ages, his blade cutting across the sky to suppress Su Han.

As the two exchanged blows, the force was earthshattering. Yet, upon closer inspection, it was Su Han who was at a disadvantage. All of his attacks were dissolved by the power of time, barely ever reaching the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince.

In contrast, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince surged with the Sword Intent of Ages. His sword light was like a tidal wave, carrying with it temporal fluctuations that severed time and repeatedly struck Su Han. Even with his Great Accomplished Holy Body, Su Han was slashed until he was drenched in his own blood, covered in grievous wounds.

"It’s useless. Unless you become a Sage, you will never be my match."

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince seemed to have energy to spare, continuously pressing his attacks against Su Han. He wanted to make Su Han experience utter defeat and have his Dao Heart crumble in despair. Only then could his Demonic Embryo Parasitism Technique be executed most effectively.

"Origin Technique: Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe!"

Su Han’s expression hardened as he decided to use an Origin Technique he hadn’t deployed in a long time. It was an Origin Technique that gathered all his energy into a stream of Chaos Qi, making it immensely powerful and beyond the bounds of the Laws.

Demonic Qi, Divine Sense Power, Qi-Blood, and many other energies rapidly condensed. At last, a hundred-meter-long Heaven-Opening God Ax took form. Scenes of chaos evolved across its surface, as if it were the most primordial power of the universe.

Before chaos, what are space and time?

Su Han’s strength had risen significantly. The Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe he now deployed was so solid it seemed tangible, and it even bloomed with the radiance of Divinity.

What is this?

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s pupils shrank, his eyes filling with shock as he felt an incredible death threat. His own strength was formidable. He possessed the Sword Scripture of Ages and was protected by the defensive Armor of Ages. Not even the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation had posed a threat to him. But now, this hundred-meter-long Heaven-Opening God Ax made him feel as if he was about to be split in two.

Without hesitation, Su Han directed the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe to cleave down upon the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince. This strike was like Pangu splitting the heavens from the earth, powerful enough to cleave the world in two. It seemed absolutely unstoppable.

"Time, like a Sword, Slays All Beings!"

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince gripped the Time Holy Sword, exerting his full strength to channel the Sword Scripture of Ages. An overwhelming Sword Intent of Ages surged toward the heavens as his sword slashed across the sky, meeting the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe head-on.

This sword, imbued with the Sword Intent of Ages, flowed like the river of time itself, inescapable for any living being. However, when it collided with the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe, it shattered almost instantly, unable to withstand the axe’s might.

Not good!

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince realized he had underestimated the power of this axe. His full-powered strike couldn’t hold up. As the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe continued its ferocious advance toward him, his sense of crisis intensified to the extreme.

Unable to parry with his sword, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince had no choice but to channel his full power into his defensive technique. "Armor of Ages!" he roared. Instantly, a brilliant light surged from the Armor of Ages, and the immense power of time flowed out, attempting to weaken, repel, and ultimately extinguish the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe.

CLANG!

The Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe struck the Armor of Ages. Though neither were solid objects, the collision produced a deafening metallic clang, as if two Emperor’s Armaments were clashing. The impact sent tumultuous ripples outwards, boiling the surrounding lake water.

The surging power of time enveloped the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe, attempting to entangle, weaken, and continuously erode it. To the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s dismay, it failed.

Su Han gritted his teeth, unreservedly pouring all his might into the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe, integrating all his Demonic Qi, Divine Sense, and Qi-Blood into it. He managed to gradually cleave through the power of time.

CRACK!

A deep fissure appeared on the Armor of Ages. It widened rapidly, allowing the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe to finally strike the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s body.

"Ah!" a scream escaped the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s lips. A long, bloody wound was carved across his chest, so deep that it exposed bone. Numerous ribs had been severed and many of his internal organs were shredded.

PUH!

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince was sent flying backward again, spewing fresh blood. His aura weakened abruptly, his strength visibly diminished. The axe had clearly inflicted a severe injury.

The Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe was the Origin Technique of the Sacred Body. It was also derived from the strongest techniques of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, making it ever-changing and formidable.

Regrettably, after launching this strike, Su Han was exhausted and simply lacked the strength to pursue and finish off the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince. His face was pale, sweat cascading down like rain as he slumped to the ground, gasping for air.

His Dantian was empty of Demonic Qi, his Sea of Consciousness was void of Divine Sense, and his Physical Body was drained of Qi-Blood. He was weakened to the extreme, having clearly paid a heavy price to unleash that single strike.

"Secret of Healer!"

Not daring to be careless, Su Han quickly employed the Secret of Healer to mend his injuries. However, his consumed Demonic Qi and Divine Sense Power could only be recovered slowly over time.

"Aaaagh! You have successfully angered me!"

Before Su Han had a chance to recover his strength, the enraged roar of the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince resounded from afar. The lake waters boiled, and waves surged as if ready to form a towering tsunami.

Su Han looked up to see a figure charging toward him from a distance. The man moved like a water god walking on waves, exuding an unstoppable and powerful Holy Might.

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s wounds were grievous, yet his eyes burned with raging infernos, as if they could incinerate the very heavens.

He was enraged and seething with murderous intent. He was no longer willing to slowly wear down Su Han’s Heart Spirit. Now, he wanted only to defeat Su Han quickly and use his Demonic Embryo Parasitism technique.

"You’re doomed!"
