Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

"A Demon Bloodline?"

Seeing the Demon Swordsman’s state, a shocked uproar swept through the crowd. Countless gazes, filled with disbelief, fell upon him. No one had expected that the Demon Swordsman, who had been sliced in two at the waist, was not dead. Instead, he had activated some sort of Demon Bloodline. What was this?

"It’s rumored that the Evil Demons left behind many bloodlines before they disappeared, similar to the descendants of the ancient Great Emperors. To think the Demon Swordsman actually possesses a Demon Bloodline... Does this mean the Dugu Imperial Clan is also connected to the Evil Demons?"

Some were stunned, making the connection to the Dugu Imperial Clan behind the Demon Swordsman. This was an ancient Imperial Clan from the Central Plains. No one had imagined they could be related to Evil Demons. Although the Evil Demons had long vanished and the Dugu Imperial Clan had never shown any sign of devastating the world, the mere words "Evil Demon" were enough to make one’s heart pound with fear.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was fixed on the Demon Swordsman. While they held reverence for the term "Evil Demon," they were also intensely curious. The Demon Swordsman had been consistently overpowered by Su Han, even getting cut in half and nearly killed. They wondered if his activated Demon Bloodline could turn the tables and allow him to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

"A Demon Bloodline? An unexpected surprise, indeed!"

The Flying Immortal Great Emperor had also been watching the battle on the Golden Stone Platform closely. Seeing the black flames enveloping the Demon Swordsman, his eyes flickered with surprise. The path of bloodlines was profoundly mysterious; even a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse of his caliber could not see through it. He grew somewhat curious, wondering what was so special about the Demon Swordsman’s Demon Bloodline.

For a time, countless eyes were fixed on the Demon Swordsman, filled with curiosity and reverence, but also worry for Su Han. After all, the Demon Swordsman’s Demon Bloodline looked extraordinary. Could Su Han possibly withstand it?

A Demon Body? No, it’s similar, but at best, it’s just a weakened version. Su Han was also slightly surprised. Observing with his Nine Heavens Eye, he quickly assessed the nature of the Demon Swordsman’s Demon Bloodline. The bloodline was within his body, but it was incredibly dilute and no longer possessed the power of a true bloodline. The black flames now engulfing him and allowing him to reattach his severed body relied solely on the power of this Demon Bloodline. Anyone else might have been terrified by it, but to Su Han, it was nothing special. If Su Han were to draw his Black Blade and undergo Demonization, he would completely transform into an immensely powerful Evil Demon. In contrast, the Demon Swordsman’s Demon Bloodline contained a mere trace of Demonic Nature. His body had become a weakened version of a Demon Body. Although it had a powerful self-healing ability, it still paled in comparison to a true Demon Body.

"This Demon Bloodline is my true trump card. All enemies who see it must die, and you are no exception." The Demon Swordsman, having retracted the Void Demon Sword, now stared coldly at Su Han. His profound gaze seemed capable of devouring one’s Heart Spirit, plunging them into an eternal abyss of despair.

BOOM!

The Black Demonic Flame surged, roaring toward Su Han under the Demon Swordsman’s command. This flame not only possessed terrifying heat but also contained the essence of despair. To be caught in it meant a relentless struggle, making it extremely difficult to handle.

"SLASH!"

Grasping the Soul Severing Sword, Su Han stimulated the Yin Energy within the blade. A vast expanse of white Yin Energy instantly erupted to meet the Black Demonic Flame. In the instant of collision between ice and fire, the space before them was simultaneously scorched and frozen.

This Black Demonic Flame is inferior to my Bloodthirsty Demonic Flame. It merely contains the Sword Intent of Despair. Su Han quickly gauged the flame’s power. If he could use his full strength and draw the Black Blade, he could slay the Demon Swordsman with ease. Even without the Black Blade, killing him now would not be difficult. When it came to understanding Evil Demons, the gap between the Demon Swordsman and Su Han was simply too vast; they were not on the same level. If the Demon Swordsman had not used his Demon Bloodline, killing him might have taken some effort. But now that he had, killing him became a simple matter for Su Han.

"Demonic Flame Despair Slash!"

The Demon Swordsman gripped the Void Demon Sword, his entire body roiling with Black Demonic Flame and radiating a potent Demonic Nature. He fused his Sword Intent of Despair with the flame, pouring it all into the Void Demon Sword before unleashing a devastating slash.

An eight-hundred-meter-long Demonic Flame Sword Light materialized, its heat warping the very space around it. Carrying the sharp edge of despair, it shot directly toward Su Han. As this attack was unleashed, the nearby Sword Lunatic and Sword Maniac wore shocked expressions and hastily retreated to the edge of the Golden Stone Platform, unwilling to be caught in the crossfire. The other genius Sword Cultivators on the Pyramid battlefield also felt this terrifying Sword Intent. Their faces turned deathly pale, their eyes filling with despair as if they were facing their own demise.

The many spectators on the ground were also affected by the despair in this strike, staring in terror at the Demon Swordsman on the Golden Stone Platform, utterly horrified. If even they were so affected, one could only imagine what it was like for Su Han, who faced it head-on. The Demonic Flame Sword Light roared toward him like a Demon God striking with its blade, intending to annihilate both his Physical Body and soul.

The attack was terrifying, yet Su Han’s expression remained unchanged. He tightly gripped the Soul Severing Sword as bone-chilling Yin Energy burst forth. "Deadly Sword Technique: Severing River of Stars!"

Holding the Soul Severing Sword, Su Han once again executed a Deadly Sword Technique from the Sun, Moon, and Stellar Art. Instantly, the Stellar Shadow, the Sword Light Bright Moon, and the Black Sword Sun all appeared, merging into the Soul Severing Sword to unleash his strongest slash.

This time, however, the Deadly Sword Technique was merely a cover. Su Han’s true killing move was the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. Beneath the cover of his slash, Su Han stealthily activated the art, beginning to devour the Black Demonic Flame. When it came to Demonic Techniques, what could possibly surpass the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art? Never mind that the Demon Swordsman only possessed a Demon Bloodline; even a true Demon Body could not withstand the devouring power of this technique.

BOOM!

The Demonic Flame Sword Light and the Deadly Sword Technique collided with a thunderous impact that shook the heavens and the earth. A violent storm of energy erupted, enveloping the entire Golden Stone Platform and obscuring Su Han and the Demon Swordsman from view.

After a long time, the terrifying energy fluctuations finally began to subside. By then, everyone was craning their necks, their eyes glued to the Golden Stone Platform.

"Who won? Who lost?"

Everyone wanted to know who had gained the upper hand between Su Han and the Demon Swordsman and claimed victory in this battle. As the energy subsided, the figures of Su Han and the Demon Swordsman reappeared.

Both stood with their swords, seemingly no different than before. However, the Demon Swordsman’s eyes were wide, fixed on Su Han, and filled with profound shock and deep resentment.

"I can’t accept this..." The Demon Swordsman’s lips moved slightly, but before he could finish his sentence, he could no longer hold on.

THUD!

The Demon Swordsman collapsed, falling straight onto the Golden Stone Platform. Crimson blood flowed from his wounds, staining the platform red. This time, he did not recover. As his life force ebbed away, he plunged into the eternal darkness of death.

The Demon Swordsman was dead.
