Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Unlike the other spectral warriors, this King’s Remnant Soul was not only intact but also possessed a body of flesh and blood. Wisdom flickered in his eyes, making him seem less like a spectral soldier and more like a living creature. However, Su Han could see clearly through his Nine Heavens Eye that the King’s Remnant Soul had indeed died. Yet, somehow, he had found his own corpse and restored it, even appearing to have awakened a part of his memory. Although he possessed a body of flesh, he was still just a corpse, not a living being. He was currently surrounded by dense Yin Energy, exuding the terrifying and bone-chilling might of a Saint.

”Audacious commoner, kneel before this king!” a piercing shriek issued from the King’s Remnant Soul. It was like a chisel trying to bore into Su Han’s head, break through his Sea of Consciousness, and severely wound his Divine Sense.

BOOM!

At the same time, the million spectral soldiers stepped forward in unison. The ground quaked with an overwhelming force that seemed intent on shattering Su Han’s Heart Spirit.

Unfortunately for them, Su Han possessed an Invincible Dao Heart and a Defying Heavenly Demon Will. Not even an army of ten million spectral soldiers could make him flinch, let alone one million.

Seeing Su Han’s disrespect, the King’s Remnant Soul waved his hand and gave the order. ”Kill him!”

Instantly, the million spectral soldiers moved as one, surging toward Su Han. An army of ten thousand already seems endless; a million spectral soldiers was like a vast ocean rolling in, enough to make anyone despair at a single glance. Moreover, among them were not only armored cavalry and Crossbowmen but also heavy cavalry, axemen, and other types of troops. Beyond that, they did not charge blindly but advanced in a War Formation, like a true army capable of conquering cities and sweeping all before them.

Facing so many spectral soldiers, Su Han didn’t dare to be careless. He quickly put on the Ghostly Face Mask, employed Physique Fusion, and entered a Demonized State with the help of the Great Majestic Demon King’s power. ”Demonization!”

In the blink of an eye, his Evil Demon form underwent a tremendous transformation. He became a five-meter-tall figure, his body turning black and red as his Demonic Wings unfurled, intensifying his Demonic Nature. At this moment, Su Han was in his strongest state, with strength comparable to a Saint.

He then unleashed a Divine Skill: ”Blossoming with One Thought!”

Immediately, his Shore Flower Clone condensed into being. Su Han took out the Myriad Ghosts Holy Banner and gave it to the clone, instructing it to use the Secret of the Soldier Character to summon five Ghost Venerates, each possessing the strength of the Supreme Realm Seventh Level.

”Kill!”

With everything in place, Su Han charged rather than retreated. Clutching the Black Blade, he boldly took on the million spectral soldiers. Instantly, the heavens and earth roared as the battlefield erupted into carnage.

If this were a genuine million-strong army, Su Han would find it difficult to face them alone. However, he held an absolute advantage over these spectral soldiers. After all, they lacked intelligence, moved stiffly, and their individual strength was not particularly formidable; their only threat came from sheer numbers.

Of course, these spectral soldiers were immersed in a thick fog and could constantly regenerate using Yin Energy. This made them a foe that even Bai Xu Saint could not withstand, forcing him to flee while injured. But Su Han possessed the Black Blade, and its Soul Devouring Demon Mist could continuously devour Yin Souls, making this a non-issue for him.

SLASH!

A three-hundred-meter-long, pitch-black blade aura swept across the sky, instantly slaughtering thirty to forty spectral soldiers. Before they could absorb Yin Energy to recover, they were enveloped by the Soul Devouring Demon Mist, sucked into the blade, and vanished completely.

With this method, every spectral soldier Su Han killed was permanently eliminated. Although there were a million of them, a day would come when they could all be slaughtered. However, Su Han had no intention of letting himself get surrounded. He joined forces with his Shore Flower Clone to cut a bloody path, charging straight for the King’s Remnant Soul.

To catch a thief, first catch the king. As long as I eliminate the King’s Remnant Soul, the leaderless spectral army will collapse on its own!

Su Han had long since realized the key to this battle. Although the spectral soldiers were numerous, they had no intelligence and were completely controlled by the King’s Remnant Soul. Once he died, the soldiers would fall into chaos and disarray, no longer forming an effective force. Then Su Han could kill them as he pleased.

The King’s Remnant Soul saw Su Han charging toward him and instantly understood his plan. ”Those who rebel from below must be slain!” he shrieked. With a shudder of his saintly might, the million spectral soldiers suddenly closed ranks, intending to submerge Su Han and his Shore Flower Clone.

Su Han held the Black Blade and summoned the Yin Yang Thunder. ”Thunderbolt Seven Absolute Slashes!” he roared, unleashing a slash that transformed into a Thunder Dragon Saber Aura.

RUMBLE!

Thunderbolt, a power of utmost yang and hardness, was the bane of all yin and evil spirits. The Thunder Dragon Saber Aura carved a path through the dense ranks of the spectral army. Su Han employed the Character Technique of Motion, and a single beat of his Demonic Wings sent him bursting forward at supersonic speed, closing the distance with the King’s Remnant Soul along the opening.

But more spectral soldiers soon surged forward, blocking his path once again.

No one can stop me!

A fierce glint shone in Su Han’s eyes, his killing intent surging like a tide. He brandished his blade again, creating a second Thunder Dragon Saber Aura. At the same time, he formed a sword gesture with his fingers.

”One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!”

Driving this Divine Method with his Slaughter Sword Intent, the Sword Qi he unleashed was pure Slaughter Sword Qi. Although only three meters long, its killing power was astonishing, as if it had slaughtered billions of creatures. Wherever it passed, the spectral soldiers died miserably, unable to recover.

Simultaneously, Su Han opened the Devouring Demonic Domain. ”Strongest defense, activate!” he commanded, using various Origin Techniques and Divine Methods to form layers of defense around himself, resisting the ferocious, tsunami-like attacks.

In this manner, Su Han continually carved open a path, advancing ever closer to the King’s Remnant Soul.

Nonetheless, the million-strong army was no pushover. Under the command of the King’s Remnant Soul, they lunged at Su Han. By this point, three of the five Ghost Venerates formed by the Myriad Ghosts Holy Banner had been destroyed. These Ghost Venerates were formed by fusing Fierce Ghosts; once destroyed, they were lost completely and could only be replenished by refining new Fierce Ghosts. But Su Han could not stop now, or the pressure on his Original Body would only increase.

The Shore Flower Clone continued to form Ghost Venerates. The Myriad Ghosts Holy Banner contained over ten thousand Fierce Ghosts, enough to fuse ten Ghost Venerates in total. But as time passed, the Ghost Venerates were destroyed one after another. In the end, all ten were destroyed, and the Myriad Ghosts Holy Banner lost its power.

”Kill!”

After stowing the Myriad Ghosts Holy Banner, Su Han passed the Holy Thunder Golden Wheel to the Shore Flower Clone, using the power of thunder to deal with the spectral soldiers. However, lacking treasures like the Ghostly Face Mask and the Black Blade, the clone’s strength was clearly a tier below that of his Original Body.

As the battle raged on, the Shore Flower Clone was gradually overwhelmed. Ultimately, it could not hold on any longer and dispersed with a bang.

However, the Shore Flower Clone had bought Su Han enough time. Now, wielding Slaughter Sword Qi with his left hand and the Black Blade with his right, he had finally carved his way out of the million-strong spectral army. At this very moment, no more spectral soldiers stood before him. There was only the King’s Remnant Soul.
