Chapter 728: An All-Out Battle
"Nineteenth Brother, it is your honor to become my Demonic Embryo. Besides, you will not truly die but will live on in a different form. Once I break through and become a god, I will retrieve your soul and help you be reborn," the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince said coolly. His gaze was like a sword, aimed straight at Su Han’s Heart Spirit, attempting to shatter it and create better conditions for his Demonic Embryo to inhabit.
If it were the real Nineteenth Prince, his Dao Heart would have likely shattered, unable to hold on. Unfortunately for the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince, he was facing Su Han.
Su Han cultivated an Invincible Tao Xin and possessed a Defying Heavenly Demon Will. He wouldn’t feel the slightest fear even when facing the Flying Immortal Great Emperor, let alone the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince. Thus, the Crown Prince’s plan to crush his Heart Spirit was doomed to fail.
"This is a technique of a Demon Cultivator. If this news gets out, are you not afraid that the Heavenly Sword Dynasty will be besieged?" Su Han asked, secretly activating the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art and preparing for an all-out battle.
"Get out? Only heaven, earth, you, and I know of this. As long as you remain silent, how could it possibly get out?" the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince laughed, completely unconcerned.
His eyes then brightened, growing even more piercing, as if they had transformed into two sharp swords intent on penetrating Su Han’s sea of consciousness and severing his Dao Heart.
However, Su Han was well-prepared. One hundred and eight Divine Sense Stellar lit up simultaneously, forming a torrent of Divine Sense Power. This force then coalesced into a Divine Sense Black Hole, which directly devoured and absorbed the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s gaze.
"Hm?"
The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s brow furrowed as he looked at Su Han in surprise. Although he couldn’t see the Divine Sense Black Hole, he could feel its existence.
"Nineteenth Brother, it seems you’ve come across quite a fortunate opportunity!"
With the pretense dropped, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince no longer feigned brotherly affection. He knew Su Han must have had a fortuitous encounter, and from the looks of it, a significant one.
"Nine Heavens Divine Light!"
Instead of replying, Su Han seized the opportunity. He fully operated the Nine Heavens Eye, channeling all his Divine Sense Power into it and unleashing a golden beam of Nine Heavens Divine Light.
This light was formless and invisible to the naked eye, yet it seemed to outshine time itself, streaking across the cosmos like the very first ray of light at the dawn of creation.
The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince couldn’t see it, but his powerful Divine Sense felt its presence and the rapidly intensifying danger. He retreated half a step. At the same time, his immense Divine Sense coalesced, shooting two swords of gaze from his eyes that sliced through space and time to strike at Su Han.
BOOM!
The Nine Heavens Divine Light collided with the swords of gaze in mid-air, causing the lake water to roil violently, churning as if it were the prelude to a tsunami.
Though the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince was strong, his Divine Sense could not overpower Su Han’s. Moreover, Su Han was currently executing a Divine Method that transcended the mortal realm, possessing unimaginable power.
The Nine Heavens Divine Light shattered the two swords of gaze and, without losing momentum, struck the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince precisely between his brows.
CRACK!
A tiny fissure appeared in the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s sea of consciousness, causing his head to ache with a pain so terrible it felt as if it were about to split open.
"Nineteenth Brother, I truly did underestimate you. Since you’re so eager to become my Demonic Embryo, I shall grant your wish!"
The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s face paled slightly from this minor setback, but his immense strength meant he was largely unaffected. He stared at Su Han, an icy chill beginning to condense around him.
BOOM!
A powerful Holy Might burst forth from within him like a volcanic eruption, overwhelming and earth-shattering as it pressed down on Su Han. This Holy Might was not only intense but also as sharp as a sword. It possessed a Heaven-Cleaving Earth-Sundering power that seemed able to cut through anything.
"Defying Heavenly Demon Will!"
Maintaining his Invincible Tao Xin, Su Han activated his Defying Heavenly Demon Will. He was instantly like a demon incarnate, unyielding in his fight against the heavens, and successfully withstood the Holy Might.
"Demonic Intent? You truly are a natural-born Demonic Embryo!" Instead of shock, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince was delighted to feel Su Han’s Demonic Intent, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
"Ghostly Face Mask!"
Su Han had no time for idle chatter. He knew he could no longer hold back. Only by going all out would he have any hope of defeating the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince. Otherwise, he would become a Demonic Embryo and perish here.
I have yet to find Fairy Sister Yun Xian, nor have I returned to the Eastern Region for revenge. How could I possibly die here?
BOOM!
With the Ghostly Face Mask on, Su Han’s aura surged, becoming dark, domineering, and desolate. He was like a young Demonic Emperor whose presence could devour mountains and rivers as he reigned supreme over the world.
Amplified by the Ghostly Face Mask, Su Han’s strength soared to the peak of the Supreme Realm Ninth Layer. He was now just a hair’s breadth from the Saint Realm, but that single line was a chasm as vast as the heavens, almost impossible to cross.
"A Demonic Weapon? Is this the fortune you’ve obtained? It’s exactly what I need!"
The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s eyes brightened. Rather than feeling intimidated by the Ghostly Face Mask, he was pleasantly surprised. He watched Su Han like a cat toying with a mouse, curious to see what other surprises this little rodent had in store.
"Physique Fusion!"
Su Han was in no mood for games. He swiftly used Physique Fusion, merging the Demonic Emperor Physique with his body. His entire demeanor grew more demonic, yet it was not the nature of a common Evil Demon; it was filled with nobility and majesty.
"You are not the Nineteenth Prince!"
The moment the Demonic Emperor Physique appeared, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s expression changed. A Heaven and Earth Physique is the manifestation of one’s Spiritual Essence; it can only have one form. He was very familiar with the Nineteenth Prince’s Heaven and Earth Physique, and it was definitely not this.
If the Ghostly Face Mask were just a Demonic Weapon, that would be one thing. But with the appearance of a completely different Heaven and Earth Physique, the Crown Prince keenly sensed something was wrong. The playful look on his face vanished, replaced by a solemn gaze.
Before this moment, he hadn’t realized the man before him was an imposter. The fact that this imposter had reached this place meant that even his father, the Emperor, hadn’t discovered the deception. His father was a Great Emperor Realm expert, yet he couldn’t see through the disguise. This person’s masking skills were clearly extraordinary. Furthermore, for him to come to the Myriad Virtual Realm—and to this specific place—meant he definitely had an ulterior motive.
Shock and anger churned within the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince. His cold gaze transformed, now brimming with murderous intent.
"Although I don’t know who you are, you certainly have guts to have come here. It’s a pity your strength is so limited. If you were a Saint, you might have stood a chance against me. But in the mere Supreme Realm? You’re walking right into my net!" the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince sneered, staring intently at Su Han. He didn’t know who this person was, why he was posing as the Nineteenth Prince, or his purpose for being here. But in this world, strength reigned supreme. Without it, everything else was empty talk.
He only needed to defeat this imposter and plant the Demonic Embryo. Then, all secrets would be revealed.
With this in mind, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince held back no longer. A terrifying Sword Intent, so vast it seemed to connect heaven and earth, erupted from him and slashed toward Su Han.
"Demonization!"
Su Han reached out, and the Black Blade appeared in his hand. He immediately drew upon its Black Blade demonic energy, entering the Demonized State. At that moment, Su Han revealed his strongest form, ready for an all-out battle.
