Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s Overpowering Sword Intent had been felt by Su Han the moment it emerged, but he did not intervene. Instead, he observed with considerable interest. Seeing the dense Overpowering Sword Intent forming into an invisible giant sword slashing toward him, Su Han smiled slightly, unperturbed.

This is the perfect opportunity to test my Great Luo Golden Body!

He had broken through the Yun Jun Holy Maiden’s Flying Sword Technique using the Character Technique of Motion, but his true strength lay in close combat.

Though the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword did not possess a Special Physique, he had the powerful, albeit diluted, Mountain Divine Bloodline. As a descendant of a legendary Mountain Divine, his physique was immensely strong, as unyielding as a mountain.

In terms of physical strength, Su Han feared no one.

BOOM!

Su Han’s left hand formed a fist. Without using the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist, he leveraged the power of his Great Accomplished Holy Body and Great Luo Golden Body to throw a simple, unadorned punch.

Although this punch was rooted in the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist, Su Han’s Great Accomplished Holy Body was already formidable. His golden Qi-Blood surged like waves, and he had refined his Great Luo Golden Body to the initial stage of accomplishment. This granted his Physical Strength a terrifying fifteen billion jin, a figure far more frightening than an ordinary great mountain.

With Su Han’s punch, space rippled and undulated as if a huge stone had been cast into a placid lake, about to trigger a tempestuous torrent.

An expert’s move reveals their mastery.

The moment Su Han’s punch was thrown, the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s expression shifted as he felt an unprecedented pressure. It was as if he wasn’t facing a fist, but a divine mountain so tall its peak couldn’t be seen and so wide its breadth couldn’t be measured. He had only ever felt this kind of oppressive force from the Holy Master, who, like him, practiced the Heavy Sword Technique. The essence of this technique was to conquer all with sheer power.

But how could the Nineteenth Prince, merely at the Supreme Realm and so young, possibly compare with the Holy Master of the Spirit Sword Holy Palace?

The Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword couldn’t understand. As Su Han’s fist landed, its invisible might collided with the invisible giant sword. In an instant, a tumultuous surge erupted in the void, like the sea raging with wild tides and soaring waves under a storm.

This scene could only be sensed by a select few. Most of those present merely felt an irresistible, unbearable force sweeping over them, leaving them as helpless as a mortal facing a typhoon. One sword cultivator after another was sent flying, spitting blood and sustaining injuries. The area around the Arena of Sword Discourse was completely cleared. Only Protectors at the Saint Realm, like the Crane Sword Saint, were able to stand their ground.

Li Mingliang and Li Qingyue were also safe thanks to the Crane Sword Saint’s protection. However, Li Mingliang still felt as if he had been struck by a great mountain. A fierce pain wracked his chest and blood flowed from all seven orifices. No longer able to fight, he collapsed, yet he steadfastly guarded Li Qingyue. His love for his granddaughter was such that he would sacrifice his own life. Despite this, everyone’s attention was on the Arena of Sword Discourse, paying no mind to this ill-fated grandfather.

THUD!

A loud sound rang out as the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s foot came down, causing the entire Arena of Sword Discourse to tremble. This time, however, he did not advance but instead retreated a step—the first he had taken since bearing the Nine Mountains Holy Sword.

At this moment, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and stained his black garments, indicating he was injured.

Meanwhile, Su Han stood in his original position, his expression unchanged. With this strike, the outcome of the exchange was immediately clear.

”Impossible! The Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s Overpowering Sword Intent is already formidable, and he stacked it to its absolute peak. His momentum was unstoppable. There’s no way the Nineteenth Prince could have blocked it.”

”Exactly! How did the Nineteenth Prince manage to force back the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword? Is he truly the incarnation of invincibility? How can he fight anyone and still consistently gain the upper hand?”

”I can’t believe Nineteenth Brother is this strong! Even with the Myriad Swords Returning Origin Technique, this shouldn’t be possible. This isn’t just a contest of swordsmanship anymore; it’s a clash of pure power!”

This outcome left the crowd in an uproar. No one understood how Su Han could possibly block the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s Overpowering Sword Intent. It not only defied their imagination but also shattered their perception of reality.

The uproar of the crowd reached the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s ears, causing his expression to darken. He knew he had underestimated Su Han, but he would not retreat.

”Your Highness, you’ve kept your strength quite hidden. Your Physical Strength is even stronger than mine. You must have cultivated a special Body Refinement Realm!” the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword said solemnly, his gaze fixed on Su Han.

It was common knowledge that the Nineteenth Prince did not possess a Special Physique. The only possibility was that he had cultivated a Body Refinement Realm, and not an ordinary one. Otherwise, he couldn’t have defeated the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s Overpowering Sword Intent.

In response to the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s speculation, Su Han neither admitted nor denied it. He held the Seven Stars Holy Sword as his Starry Sky Sword Domain spread out. The Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo burst forth from his body. Although not as powerful as a true Sword Intent, it radiated a captivating and terrifying aura.

”A heavy sword has no edge, and the greatest skill appears clumsy. Let me witness your Heavy Sword Technique!”

As soon as he spoke, Su Han activated the Character Technique of Motion, turning into a shadowy figure and launching a sudden strike toward the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword.

”Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms—Piercing Star!”

Su Han’s Demonic Qi circulated within him, though without exceeding the limits of the Second Layer of the Supreme Realm. He wielded the Seven Stars Holy Sword with the Secret of the Soldier Character, executed the Piercing Star Sword Technique with the Secret of Combat, and fused it with the Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo. He unleashed a strike as sharp as a white rainbow piercing the sun, fierce beyond compare.

Space was instantly penetrated, revealing a pitch-black void. In the next moment, the tip of the Seven Stars Holy Sword appeared before the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword. A massive shadow of a star pressed down, threatening to crush him into a pancake.

”Mysterious Heavy Sword Technique!”

The Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s expression was grave as he now considered Su Han a formidable opponent. He quickly initiated Physique Fusion, opened his Domain, and, grasping the Nine Mountains Holy Sword, executed his proudest Mysterious Heavy Sword Technique.

The door-panel-sized Nine Mountains Holy Sword burst forth with an unparalleled force, as if Tai Mount were pressing down from above, suppressing all in its path.

The Heavy Sword Technique was not simply about brute force. It stressed a balance between strength and flexibility, combining both hard and soft energy. Heavy or light, hard or soft, all were under effortless control.

The Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword used his hard force to defend against Su Han’s Piercing Star Sword Technique. Then, his swordplay changed. The Nine Mountains Holy Sword, heavy as nine great mountains, became flexible and graceful like ripples on water, gently undulating. It suddenly passed over the blade’s edge and slashed toward Su Han’s head.

Although both were Low-Grade Holy Artifacts, the Nine Mountains Holy Sword was evidently a notch above the Seven Stars Holy Sword. Coupled with the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword’s Mysterious Heavy Sword Technique, this strike seemed like a gigantic deity wielding a Divine Sword, intent on splitting Kunlun Mount itself in two.

”Well met!”

Seeing this, Su Han was delighted rather than alarmed. His eyes blazed with fighting spirit. Empowered by a terrifying fifteen billion jin of strength, he clashed head-on with the Saint Heir of the Heavy Sword in a fierce contest.

Who would win and who would lose was still uncertain.
