Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

In the eyes of the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince, Su Han had always been his Demonic Embryo. Even when he was previously injured by Su Han’s punch, he had not become angry, because such a powerful physical body only delighted him more.

However, this time, Su Han’s Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe had seriously injured him, nearly cleaving him in two. This taste of defeat was unbearable to him. Now, with anger burning within, he could no longer restrain his murderous intent.

Why struggle so desperately, you trapped turtle in a jar? Sooner or later, you will become my Demonic Embryo.

This was the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s mentality. He had never regarded Su Han as an opponent. Being seriously wounded by Su Han was like being provoked by an ant, a deep wound to his pride.

"Repair of Ages!"

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s body burst forth with an intense Sword Intent of Ages. The surrounding lake water was instantly drawn to him, merging into his body. The Sword Intent of Ages within the water was actually helping to heal his wounds, allowing injuries that would have left an ordinary person on the brink of death to mend at a visible speed.

If this had been anywhere else, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince would not have been so invincible. But this was the Path Enlightenment Lake, the place where the Great Emperor had attained Path Enlightenment and become an emperor. Every drop of its water contained the Sword Intent of Ages.

Not only did the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince possess the Sword Intent of Ages, but he had also cultivated the Sword Scripture of Ages, making him the equivalent of a later-generation Descendant of the Great Emperor. Naturally, the Sword Intent of Ages in this place honored him above all, heeding his command.

"Sword Intent of Ages!"

Seeing the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s actions, Su Han’s eyes lit up. He immediately opened his Dantian, allowing the seed of sword intent to absorb the Sword Intent of Ages from the lake water.

Although his physical body had recovered, his Demonic Qi and Divine Sense were both completely depleted. He was incapable of fending off the enraged Heavenly Sword Crown Prince. His only hope lay in harnessing the Sword Intent of Ages from the lake.

"Hm? A seed of sword intent!"

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince had comprehended the true Sword Intent of Ages, so as soon as Su Han made his move, he sensed the anomaly and immediately understood its cause.

A seed of sword intent was the concentrated essence of another’s sword intent, which allowed successors to comprehend it more swiftly.

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince hadn’t expected Su Han to possess a seed of sword intent, and one of the Sword Intent of Ages, no less. He knew Su Han was not his nineteenth brother, and it couldn’t have been a gift from the Emperor, his father. This meant it was a fortuitous opportunity obtained elsewhere. This man truly is favored by the heavens. But even if you have great Destiny, it ends with me.

"Sword Intent of Ages, Slash Through Time!"

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s body emanated sword intent as he simultaneously drew upon the Sword Intent of Ages in the lake to condense an invisible sword of time. This sword did not harm the physical body or sever Divine Sense. Instead, it cut through the flow of time itself, making it all the more fearsome.

"Slash!"

Feeling the approaching sword of time, Su Han exerted the full power of his seed of sword intent, condensing a beam of Sword Light of Ages.

Invisible time twisted as the two attacks annihilated each other in midair, stirring the lake into tumultuous waves, as if it were about to boil over.

"Sword Scripture of Ages!"

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince activated the Sword Scripture of Ages. Immediately, the water of the entire Path Enlightenment Lake was drawn to him, forming an unprecedented sword of time. This sword stretched across the sky and descended with a forceful slash.

Su Han channeled all his power into the seed of sword intent, but it was, after all, only a seed. It was not the true Sword Intent of Ages, nor did it possess the perfect synergy of the Sword Scripture of Ages. Unable to withstand the colossal sword of time, he was instantly overwhelmed.

The massive sword of time then fell upon Su Han. As it passed, it left no mark, yet Su Han felt his physical body rapidly aging, as if he had traversed millennia in an instant, transforming from a youth to an old man.

The power of time was difficult to resist. Such was the might of the Sword Scripture of Ages.

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince did not possess such power on his own. However, the Path Enlightenment Lake was the place where the Great Emperor had attained Path Enlightenment and become an emperor. It contained the purest Sword Intent of Ages, and thus, under the Crown Prince’s guidance, it transformed into this unparalleled strike.

"No matter how strong your physical body is, it cannot withstand the erosion of time. Now your spiritual energy is gone, your Divine Sense is empty, and your body has aged. You are no match for me!"

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince rapidly closed in, his eyes ablaze with fury. His injuries had mostly healed. In contrast, Su Han was in a state of extreme weakness. The gap between them widened immeasurably.

At that moment, the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince rapidly approached, wielding the Time Holy Sword, and swept out with a strike. He aimed to utterly defeat Su Han and make both his physical body and Dao Heart collapse.

WHOOSH!

The sword light surged forth like a torrent. In his current state, Su Han had no way to defend against it.

However, just then, a flash of brilliance shone in Su Han’s eyes. He clenched his right hand into a fist, which burst forth with a dazzling golden light, resembling a miniature golden sun.

"Jie Character Secret!"

Su Han had been continuously trying to activate the Jie Character Secret. After thousands of attempts, he finally succeeded, gaining tenfold combat power. But with his Demonic Qi and Divine Sense both depleted, he could only fight with his physical body.

His Qi-Blood was failing, eroded by time, but his Great Luo Golden Body was eternally indestructible and still contained immense power.

He did not use any particular fist technique, simply throwing a plain and unadorned punch. The golden fist shattered space and twisted time, breaking the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s sword light. Without losing momentum, it continued toward the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince.

"Superior Grade Divine Skill: River of Time!"

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince gritted his teeth and fought back with all his might. Having suffered a loss from the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe, he didn’t dare hold back in the slightest. He unleashed the Divine Power Technique with his full strength, and the phantom of the River of Time reappeared.

BOOM!

With the tenfold boost to his combat power, the force of Su Han’s punch was unimaginable. It shattered the phantom of the River of Time piece by piece and continued unabated, smashing into the Time Holy Sword.

CLANG! The Time Holy Sword bent from the impact. The great force sent the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince flying once again, even leaving a shallow fist imprint on his chest.

However, without the boost from Demonic Qi or the augmentation of a Character Secret, the power of this punch was ultimately limited. It only injured the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince again but was unable to reverse the situation.

The Jie Character Secret was Su Han’s strongest technique. Now that he had used it, he had completely lost his combat power. He collapsed into the lake, his Demonized State dissipating as he reverted to his original form.

This was a battle where Su Han had given his all, yet still ended in defeat. His opponent was simply too strong; the gap between their realms and strengths was too vast. Despite Su Han’s numerous techniques, he was unable to bridge this insurmountable chasm.

WHOOSH!

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince flew back. Though his injuries were severe, they were not fatal. He still had the strength to fight and was in a much better state than Su Han.

He looked down on Su Han from above, the fury in his eyes sharpening to a keen glint, feeling that victory was at hand.

"Obediently become my Demonic Embryo!"

The Heavenly Sword Crown Prince let out a cold laugh. Then, a sword swept across the sky, suppressing Su Han as his Divine Sense surged out fiercely, penetrating the space between Su Han’s brows.

The Demonic Embryo possession... begins
