Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Hearing this voice, the expressions of Seven Kills Saint and Divine Calculation Great Saint changed, and they both looked up at the sky.

High in the sky, space fluctuated violently before five figures emerged. Instantly, an intense Holy Might surged forth, shaking the entire world.

These five figures radiated dazzling Holy Light. One was fierce as fire, another deep as the ocean, a third immovable as a mountain, and a fourth swift as lightning. All were powerful Saint Realm experts.

Leading these five Saints was a short-haired woman with a voluptuous figure and delicate features. Her fair, slender legs were especially eye-catching.

This was none other than Yun Chang, the Great Elder of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, who had once conversed at length with Empress Duobao in the Spiritual Treasure Void Realm.

However, while Yun Chang looked like a goddess, her personality was manlier than any man’s. At this moment, she stood in the air, gazing down at the Demon Slayer Sect’s main base. She held a giant hammer taller than herself, creating a stark contrast.

”Yun Chang, are you here for a decisive battle?”

Seven Kills Saint shot into the sky, quickly appearing before Yun Chang. At the same time, Divine Calculation Great Saint and the other Saint-level elders of the Demon Slayer Sect also appeared, confronting Yun Chang and her four companions.

The overall strength of the Demon Slayer Sect was slightly inferior to that of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Furthermore, the recent deaths of Mad Lion Saint and Swordsaint were a heavy loss for the Demon Slayer Sect. At this moment, only four Saints remained in their main base. Facing a force of five, the Demon Slayer Sect was at a disadvantage. However, this was their home turf, giving them a geographical advantage that somewhat evened the odds.

The nine Saints released their auras simultaneously. Their combined Holy Might enveloped the world like the sun, causing all the martial artists within the Demon Slayer Sect’s main base to tremble in fear.

”Seven Kills, you old ghost! How shameless can you be? First, you collude with the East Sea Demon Clan, then you destroy a branch pavilion of my Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Since you started this fight, don’t blame me for finishing it. This lady is not to be trifled with!”

Yun Chang’s temper was even more explosive than her figure. She had only restrained herself in front of Empress Duobao. Now, having arrived in a rage, she had no intention of giving Seven Kills Saint any face whatsoever.

As for Divine Calculation Great Saint, while his realm was high, his combat power was somewhat lacking. Yun Chang didn’t pay him any mind.

DONG!

Unwilling to waste any more words on Seven Kills Saint, Yun Chang attacked directly.

The giant hammer in her hands was a Quasi-Emperor’s Armament, far more powerful than an ordinary Holy Artifact. At this moment, her slender arm unleashed a terrifying force, swinging the Heaven-Shaking Sacred Hammer straight at Seven Kills Saint.

Though the Heaven-Shaking Sacred Hammer didn’t look large, it was as heavy as a mountain and possessed a unique, shocking Dao Rhyme. The moment she swung it, the spectators felt a suppressive force on their spirits. Space shattered like a mirror under its impact. Swirls of dense time-force wreathed the hammer, making it seem as if an Ancient Mountain had fallen from the sky to flatten the Demon Slayer Sect’s entire base.

”Yun Chang, you harridan!”

Seven Kills Saint had clashed with Yun Chang many times and was all too familiar with her troublesome brute strength. He swiftly drew his own Holy Artifact to counter the Heaven-Shaking Sacred Hammer.

BOOM!

A massive hole was torn in the firmament, revealing the pitch-black Void within. Terrifying energy fluctuations swept out like a storm, churning the world into a chaotic maelstrom.

”Kill!”

Yun Chang clashed with Seven Kills Saint, but the others did not stand idly by. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion had come prepared for a major battle. The moment Yun Chang attacked, the other four Saints also made their move.

Although Divine Calculation Great Saint’s combat power was lacking against those in his own realm, he still held an absolute advantage against other Saints. Now, holding a Compass, he fought fiercely, engaging in a flurry of furious exchanges.

All nine Saints joined the fray. The terrifying combat fluctuations tore the world asunder. A vast Holy Formation rose to life over the Demon Slayer Sect’s main base, protecting the headquarters and its inhabitants from harm.

”I’ll hammer you to death!”

Yun Chang’s brows furrowed in rage. Wielding the Heaven-Shaking Sacred Hammer, she was like a female war god, her power immense and awe-inspiring. Moreover, her fighting style was rugged and direct, with no fancy moves—just one word: Smash!

Seven Kills Saint had numerous tricks and countless treasures, but he was at a loss against Yun Chang’s crude and straightforward fighting style. He was being overpowered, but he was already used to it.

He was the First Elder of the Demon Slayer Sect, while she was the Great Elder of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Despite their considerable age difference, their strength and status were similar. They had fought many times before, and he was intimately familiar with Yun Chang’s violent strength.

Even though Yun Chang had initiated the attack this time, he was confident that his four Saints could hold their ground.

Unfortunately for him, he didn’t know that Yun Chang had come fully prepared, specifically to deal with the Demon Slayer Sect.

”Dragon Patterned Black Gold Cauldron!”

Yun Chang reached out and summoned a massive cauldron from the Void. The cauldron was 3,000 meters tall, resembling a vast, pitch-black mountain. It was covered in lifelike dragon patterns, as if a True Dragon had been sealed within.

A terrifying majesty erupted from the Dragon Patterned Black Gold Cauldron. In an instant, Seven Kills Saint found himself unable to resist and was blasted backward.

”An Emperor’s Armament!”

Seven Kills Saint stared at the Dragon Patterned Black Gold Cauldron, his pupils shrinking in shock.

This Dragon Patterned Black Gold Cauldron was not a Holy Artifact, but a true Great Emperor’s Artifact.

It was common knowledge that only experts of the Great Emperor Realm could control an Emperor’s Armament. These artifacts contained the Power of Laws and were connected to the world itself, making them exceptionally powerful—far beyond what any Saint could hope to wield.

The gap between a Holy Artifact and an Emperor’s Armament was even greater than the one between a Spiritual Artifact and a Holy Artifact. No Emperor’s Armament was meant to be wielded by a Saint; not even a Great Saint could manage it.

Naturally, Yun Chang could not control it either. However, Empress Duobao had lent her the power to activate the Dragon Patterned Black Gold Cauldron for a single strike.

Though it was only a single blow, it was more than enough.

”I’ll smash you to pieces, you son of a bitch!”

Yun Chang controlled the Dragon Patterned Black Gold Cauldron and slammed it directly toward Seven Kills Saint. It descended like a Divine Mountain from the Nine Heavens, threatening to shatter the entire Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm.

An unprecedented sense of crisis surged in the heart of Seven Kills Saint. This was a true Emperor’s Armament—something he absolutely could not withstand.

”How dare you use an Emperor’s Armament! Aren’t you afraid of sparking an Emperor War?” Seven Kills Saint cried out in horror, attempting to threaten her.

According to the Great Emperor Pact, not only were those of the Great Emperor Realm forbidden from acting rashly, but the use of Emperor’s Armaments was also restricted.

”Hmph. The Emperor War has already begun. Where do you think Killing Life Great Emperor is right now?”

Yun Chang sneered, utterly unconcerned. After learning of the holy war in Cang City, Empress Duobao had already decided to act. She was currently fighting Killing Life Great Emperor—otherwise, how could Yun Chang have led her people here for a decisive battle?

”What?!”

Hearing Yun Chang’s words, Seven Kills Saint could no longer remain composed. At that exact moment, the Dragon Patterned Black Gold Cauldron smashed down. Despite using his full power and even the Holy Formation to defend himself, he was struck so hard that he was sent flying, grievously injured and spewing blood.

On this day, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion initiated a decisive battle. Wielding an Emperor’s Armament, they heavily wounded Seven Kills Saint. As news of this spread, the entire Eastern Region was shaken to its core.
