Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The legend is true, but why would this sword strike at me?

Su Han was puzzled. Could it be that the special nature of the Sword Intent of Ages allowed him to sense my appearance ten thousand years in the future at the very moment of his sanctification? If so, this sword strike wasn’t about achieving Instant Sanctification, but about slaying a demon *after* becoming a Saint. If that’s the case, then the Void-Slicing Great Emperor is truly terrifying, to unleash such a resplendent strike across a span of ten thousand years.

Although the Void-Slicing Great Emperor had only just attained Sainthood and his Realm was not yet stable, he was still a First Layer Saint Realm expert. Moreover, he was a peerless sword cultivator whose fame echoed through the ages. The terror of this sword was unimaginable.

At this moment, everything around Su Han vanished. Only this sword remained, as solid as if it were real, carrying the flow of ages as it slashed forth from antiquity to sever his life force.

”Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo!”

Su Han gritted his teeth and pushed his Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo to its limit. At the same time, his Invincible Tao Xin activated, and a Defying Heavenly Demon Will surged from the depths of his being. His own will was more focused and unyielding than ever before.

Nobody can kill me!

At this moment, Su Han’s Spiritual Essence surged to its peak, and the swordsmanship mastery of the Tai Cang Sword God was also activated to its fullest.

CLANG!

The Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo clashed with the Void-Slicing Great Emperor’s sword and instantly shattered as if it were made of paper. An embryo and a true Sword Intent were ultimately worlds apart, especially when it was the Sword Intent of Ages from the legendary Void-Slicing Great Emperor.

The Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo could not withstand the attack. The Void-Slicing Great Emperor’s sword thrust straight for Su Han’s face. The cold edge of the blade, the chilling tip, and its unstoppable Sword Momentum created a crushing despair, leaving one with no choice but to await death.

As a demon, I shall slay all enemies in this world!

Su Han stopped channeling the Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo and began to circulate the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art instead. He was not a sword cultivator, but a demon cultivator. The Demonic Technique was his true foundation.

BOOM!

In an instant, Su Han’s aura transformed, becoming dark, cold, and tyrannical. He was no longer a swordsman of slaughter, but a young demon emperor.

Sensing Su Han’s Demonic Intent, the Void-Slicing Great Emperor’s sword strike accelerated, as if it had been waiting for this very moment to slay the demon.

The Way of the Universe contains all things!

Su Han’s spirit was highly concentrated as he frantically circulated the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, activating the Way of the Universe he had once comprehended. Devouring was not merely a black hole; its ultimate form was the universe, which contains everything. Naturally, a black hole was also part of the universe.

Using the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art to activate the Way of the Universe, Su Han manifested a mass of chaos directly in the path of the Great Emperor’s sword. This mass of chaos was filled with all kinds of energy and infinite possibilities. The Great Emperor’s sword pierced into it, disappearing completely from tip to hilt.

But once the sword entered the chaos, it could not escape. Instead, it was enveloped, digested, and ultimately refined into a single, seed-like point of light. This point of light was harmless. Wrapped within the chaos, it slowly flew into Su Han’s Dantian, where it settled and embedded itself.

Su Han probed it with his consciousness and discovered that this seed-like point of light contained an incredibly pure and dense Sword Intent of Ages. Although small in quantity, it was utterly pure and authentic.

This is... a Sword Intent Seed!

Su Han was stunned as he quickly recalled what this was. It was said that before death, a powerful sword cultivator could condense their Sword Intent into a Sword Intent Seed and bestow it upon a junior. This would allow the junior to comprehend Sword Intent and advance their training at a phenomenal rate.

Su Han had never imagined that the chaos manifested by his Way of the Universe would transform the Void-Slicing Great Emperor’s trans-temporal sword strike into a Sword Intent Seed. Not only had the attack failed to harm him, but it had also brought him an immense fortune.

With this Sword Intent Seed, Su Han could comprehend the Sword Intent of Ages himself. Even if he disliked it, he could still use the seed to hone his own Sword Intent. This was a truly priceless treasure. Compared to this Sword Intent Seed, the Sword Intent of Ages comprehended by the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince was insignificant. After all, that was the Prince’s own comprehension, whereas this seed was a remnant of the Great Emperor himself.

”What a pity...”

A sigh reached Su Han’s ears, seeming to travel across time to echo in that very moment. Immediately after, Su Han saw the Void-Slicing Great Emperor’s towering figure gradually dissipate until it vanished completely. His vision returned to the scenery atop the mountain.

Su Han let out a long breath, his face slightly pale, as if he had been reborn from a catastrophe. That sword strike had been incredibly perilous. If he had not activated the Way of the Universe in time, he might have truly been pierced by it. The consequences of that were hard to imagine.

Now, although there was still a dense Sword Intent of Ages in the surroundings, it was far weaker than the Great Emperor’s strike. Su Han naturally had no fear of it.

The danger was great, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, granting me a Sword Intent Seed. In that case, I’ll strike while the iron is hot and forge my Slaughter Sword Intent to completion!

With the crisis averted, Su Han focused his Heart Spirit and stopped overthinking. He gazed at the vast Sword Intent of Ages around him and once again channeled his Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo, forming it into a Sword of Slaughter. He slashed out, intending to use this external pressure to achieve a breakthrough. At the same time, he tried to activate the Sword Intent Seed in his Dantian. A surge of pure Sword Intent of Ages immediately burst forth from his body, merging with the Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo to aid its refinement.

Gradually, the Slaughter Sword Intent Embryo began to transform. It grew more solid and more perfect, as if on the verge of becoming a true Sword Intent.

DING!

Finally, accompanied by a cold, merciless sword chime, Su Han successfully forged his Slaughter Sword Intent.

The sword chime echoed from the mountaintop, falling clearly into the ears of everyone near the Arena of Sword Discourse. In an instant, they all shuddered as visions of an Asura’s battlefield flooded their minds: mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and endless slaughter. A pitch-black, blood-stained sword flew out from this macabre scene, striking down suddenly.

”AH!”

Some could not withstand it and screamed, blood pouring from their seven orifices as they perished instantly. Their Heart Spirits had been directly obliterated by Su Han’s Slaughter Sword Intent, and even their souls had been shattered.

At that moment, more than one person had collapsed dead. Many of the weaker cultivators died, and their gruesome deaths were too horrific to behold.

The Yun Jun Holy Maiden’s face changed drastically. Although she could resist this Slaughter Sword Intent, she was still under immense pressure. This is Slaughter Sword Intent, but how can it be so strong? Moreover, weren’t the rumors that the Nineteenth Prince possessed the Big Dipper Sword Intent? How could he have comprehended Slaughter Sword Intent as well? Could it be that during the Sword Intent baptism, he abandoned his original Big Dipper Sword Intent to cultivate the even more terrifying Slaughter Sword Intent?

The Yun Jun Holy Maiden was completely baffled. Nearby, the Thirteenth Princess and the others were also pale-faced and struggling to endure.

Countless shocked gazes turned towards Su Han on the mountaintop. His figure seemed impossibly imposing, like the God of Slaughter descending upon the mortal world.

The moment the Slaughter Sword Intent was forged, its ferocious might shook the world
