Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Although Ye Chuanfeng was confident in his own strength, Su Han’s monstrous abilities unnerved him. He was unwilling to drag out the fight and wanted to join forces for a swift encirclement and kill. As long as someone like Su Han was alive, no one could rest easy. Ye Chuanfeng didn’t want any unforeseen complications from dragging things out.

”Yes!”

The other ten Supreme Realm elders had already braced themselves. They responded at once, attacking in unison.

”This is bad!”

Although Lei Ming had been prepared for this, his expression changed drastically upon seeing them actually join forces. His heart pounded with anxiety.

”Destruction Thunder Domain!”

Lei Ming could no longer stand by. He rapidly expanded his Destruction Thunder Domain as surging thunderbolts gathered in his hand, forming a Thunderbolt Blade.

”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!”

This was Lei Ming’s ultimate technique. As he unleashed it, the blade’s radiance was astonishing, like a thunder dragon streaking across the sky to strike the crowd.

Lei Ming quickly engaged one elder, but the remaining nine continued their assault on Su Han.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Figures converged from all directions, completely encircling Su Han and leaving him no chance of escape. One after another, Domains flared to life, sealing off the space and causing it to distort and crack. Ye Chuanfeng and the nine elders attacked simultaneously with raging seas of fire, frozen glaciers, sharp Sword Radiances, and oppressive seals.

While the elders were no match for Su Han individually, their joint attack was a terrifying spectacle. Violent energies erupted, shaking the very heavens and earth.

BANG!

The overwhelming power instantly submerged Su Han’s figure. Terrifying fluctuations tore through space, creating a web of spatial fissures.

”We did it!” one of the newly-promoted elders exclaimed, his face alight with joy, thinking the battle was over.

After all, ten of them had attacked together, including Ye Chuanfeng, who was at the Ninth Layer of the Supreme Realm. Su Han, even with the Ghostly Face Mask, only had the strength of a Fourth-Layer Supreme Realm expert. The elder didn’t believe Su Han could possibly survive such a terrifying onslaught.

”Don’t let your guard down!” Ye Chuanfeng’s expression was grave, devoid of joy or excitement. He wouldn’t relax until he saw Su Han’s corpse with his own eyes. Past experience told him that killing Su Han was no easy task.

SWISH!

Just then, a hundred-meter-long, dark-hued feather materialized. It seemed capable of striking across the vast sky, and it effortlessly sliced through space as if it were paper, meeting no resistance. It was the Kunpeng Holy Feather, the Holy Artifact Su Han had obtained from the Black Whale.

The Kunpeng Holy Feather swooped down, making a beeline for the newly-promoted elder who had just spoken.

”Quick, retreat!”

Ye Chuanfeng, who had been watching Su Han’s position intently, was the first to react. He cried out in alarm and moved swiftly to save the elder.

The newly-promoted elder, however, was dumbstruck. He never expected his life to be in danger in this situation. Having only recently broken through to the Supreme Realm, he couldn’t escape even if he wanted to. He rapidly expanded his Domain while his Spiritual Energy surged, trying to withstand the Kunpeng Holy Feather’s sharpness. He believed that as long as he blocked the first strike, the Sect Master would save him.

Unfortunately, he had vastly overestimated himself and underestimated the power of the Kunpeng Holy Feather. The Kunpeng Holy Feather was more than just a Holy Artifact. It came from a true Kunpeng Divine Beast, possessing terrifying speed and sharpness like a divine blade cleaving the heavens. It appeared before the newly-promoted elder in an instant. Before the Kunpeng Holy Feather, his Domain was like paper-mâché, sliced through instantly. The feather’s momentum continued unabated, slashing into the elder’s body.

With a single flash of the Kunpeng Holy Feather, the elder’s body stiffened. A line of blood instantly appeared, running straight down from his brow. Before the shocked gazes of the crowd, he was bisected.

THUD!

The elder’s corpse plummeted from the sky, crashing onto Yaoguang Peak. His crimson blood stained the mountain rock, a shocking sight.

In that moment, a deathly silence fell over the area. Everyone was dumbstruck and horrified. No one had expected this. They had failed to kill Su Han, and he had counter-killed one of them instead. This was simply inconceivable!

The remaining elders immediately retreated, their gazes fixed on Su Han’s position as if facing a formidable enemy. Although they had heard rumors about Su Han, this was their first time facing him. They hadn’t expected him to be so terrifying, and any sense of ease they had was now completely gone. They had the advantage in numbers and strength, but that didn’t guarantee victory. This Su Han was just unreasonably powerful.

WHOOSH!

The violent energy fluctuations quickly dissipated, and Su Han’s figure was revealed once more.

”How is this possible!” Ye Chuanfeng gasped, staring at Su Han in disbelief.

Su Han was completely unscathed. There wasn’t a single injury on him, and even his Demonic Qi was barely depleted. The joint strike of ten Supreme Realm powerhouses was terrifying beyond measure; even Ye Chuanfeng wouldn’t dare claim he could withstand it. Yet, Su Han had not only blocked it but had emerged entirely unharmed. If Ye Chuanfeng hadn’t witnessed it himself, he would never have believed it.

”Holy Artifacts! So many Holy Artifacts!” an elder in a purple robe cried out in astonishment, his eyes nearly popping from their sockets.

Swirling around Su Han were several Holy Artifacts. Including the Kunpeng Holy Feather he had just used, there were eight in total, each one incredibly valuable and emanating an intense Holy Might.

It was the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation!

During his fight with Ye Chuanfeng, Su Han had already secretly cast the Glyph Secret to sketch out Formation Patterns and set up the Great Formation. He had finished just before the combined attack. It was precisely because of this Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation that Su Han had survived the onslaught unharmed. Otherwise, even his Great Accomplished Holy Body would have been severely damaged.

Everyone, including Ye Chuanfeng, was stunned by the sight of the eight Holy Artifacts. Such items were exceedingly rare; a single one was enough to cause countless people to fight to the death over it. And here was Su Han, a mere Supreme Realm cultivator, who had just produced eight Holy Artifacts, two of which were the even more precious Intermediate Grade versions.

At this moment, greed flared in everyone’s hearts. These were Holy Artifacts, after all. Obtaining even one held the promise of ascending to Sainthood. Furthermore, one’s power would increase immensely with a Holy Artifact in hand, among numerous other benefits.

It wasn’t just the other elders; even Ye Chuanfeng’s eyes were red with greed and desire. He grew frenzied, verging on madness. Kill him, and all these Holy Artifacts will be mine!

Su Han could feel their greed and desire, but his expression remained unchanged as a cold light flickered in his eyes. He had prepared the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation as Ye Chuanfeng’s burial ground. Although unexpected events had occurred, his killing intent had not wavered.

”All of you... must die!”
