Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

BOOM!

The Rotten Corpse Saint smashed into the ground, creating a human-shaped crater. After he climbed out, a deep fist imprint was visible on his chest, having nearly pierced straight through his body.

The physical body of the Rotten Corpse Saint was not strong—weaker, even, than other Saints of the same realm. This was a drawback of Corpse Refiners; they invested too much of their effort into refining corpses while neglecting their own strength. Once their corpses were trapped, their combat power would be greatly diminished.

”Great Luo Divine Spear!”

Su Han opened his left hand, and his Great Luo Golden Body immediately lit up. A surge of potent energy burst forth from within his body, converging in his palm to form a golden spear.

”Go!”

Su Han threw the spear with force. The Great Luo Divine Spear instantly became a beam of golden light, streaking across the sky like a meteor as it headed straight for the Rotten Corpse Saint.

”Teleportation!”

Sensing the terrifying energy contained within the Great Luo Divine Spear, the Rotten Corpse Saint was shocked and quickly used the Art of Teleportation to try and dodge.

However, Su Han had already locked onto him. At this moment, his Shore Flower Clone activated the Devouring Demonic Domain to disrupt the surrounding space, causing the teleportation to fail. He was left with no choice but to confront the Great Luo Divine Spear.

CLANG!

The Rotten Corpse Saint activated the White Bone Saint Banner to defend himself. However, the banner had been previously pierced by the black spear radiance, and its power was significantly reduced. Now, struck again by the Great Luo Divine Spear, it was immediately riddled with cracks and on the verge of shattering.

”Time Freeze!”

The Rotten Corpse Saint dared not be careless. He quickly unleashed the power of time, an infinitely powerful and incomparably mystical force exclusive to those in the Saint Realm. A wave of temporal force flew out, heading straight for Su Han and aiming to freeze him in that very moment.

”Slash!”

Holding the Black Blade, Su Han activated the Time Magic Pattern on its surface. He countered the power of time with the power of time, successfully warding off the attack.

”Heart Demon Technique!”

At that moment, Su Han swung his blade again, unleashing the Black Blade’s Heart Demon Technique. A Heart Demon was immediately born in the mind of the Rotten Corpse Saint, disrupting his Heart Spirit and unsettling his Dao Heart.

”Damn it, how can he be so strong!”

The Rotten Corpse Saint clenched his teeth, his expression gravely serious. He had thought this battle was a certain victory, but he never expected things to develop this way. Now facing Su Han alone, he found himself somewhat outmatched and at a disadvantage, a fact he found difficult to accept.

”Intermediate Grade Divine Power: Corpse Tide!”

Gritting his teeth, the Rotten Corpse Saint now employed his special Divine Power Technique.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ground exploded in various places as skeletons crawled out from the fissures. Some were nothing but pitch-black bones exuding a dense, morbid air; others still had rotting flesh hanging from their frames, a truly ghastly sight. The Chaotic Burial Ground held the remains of a hundred thousand people who had died from plague, and now they had all been roused by the Rotten Corpse Saint’s Divine Power Technique. Although these skeletons were not powerful, their sheer numbers allowed for a human-wave strategy. From a distance, it looked like a tidal wave of corpses, converging on Su Han from all directions.

”Fourfold True Fire!”

The Shore Flower Clone unleashed a Divine Method. A large expanse of Fourfold True Fire ignited, its intense and fierce flames dispelling the darkness and illuminating the Chaotic Burial Ground with a brilliant glow. Fourfold True Fire was a Divine Method, and its ferocious flames were the ultimate counter to all forms of dark and evil energy. The moment it touched the Corpse Tide, it set the corpses ablaze, swiftly incinerating them to ash.

”Four Nether Cold Underworld Qi!”

The Shore Flower Clone struck once more. A tide of icy qi burst forth, freezing the skeletons into ice sculptures and rendering them immobile as they awaited the cleansing flames of the Fourfold True Fire. Though the tide of one hundred thousand corpses was terrifying, under the Divine Method of the Shore Flower Clone, it was utterly incapable of threatening Su Han.

”Nine Heavens Divine Light!”

Su Han’s Original Body cast a Divine Method. A golden light instantly shot out from the Nine Heavens Eye, crossing the spatial barrier to head straight for the Rotten Corpse Saint.

This is bad!

Although the Rotten Corpse Saint could not see the Nine Heavens Divine Light, he could feel the approaching crisis. He acted swiftly, and a holy bone the size of a fingernail flew out from between his brows, managing to block the attack.

CRACK!

However, the holy bone quickly shattered, turning into a pile of dust. This caused the Rotten Corpse Saint immense heartache. This was the frontal bone of a Great Saint! Even though its owner had been dead for countless years, it could still protect the Sea of Consciousness. And now, it had been shattered to pieces.

”Deadly Sword Technique: Severing River of Stars!”

Clutching the Soul Severing Sword, Su Han executed the deadly swordsmanship from the Sun, Moon, and Stellar Art. Instantly, a grand stellar phantom, the Sword Light Bright Moon, and the black Sword Sun all merged into the blade, transforming into a brilliant Sword Radiance that soared into the sky and slashed toward the Rotten Corpse Saint.

”Heavenly Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Skeleton Ghost Howl!”

The Rotten Corpse Saint’s expression changed. He quickly activated the White Bone Saint Banner, performed Physique Fusion, and expanded his Domain to fend off the sword strike.

BOOM!

The Rotten Corpse Saint’s Domain was torn apart. The Sword Qi raged, but it was blocked by a skull formed from Death Qi.

”One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!”

However, Su Han’s assault was overwhelmingly fierce. Immediately after Severing River of Stars, he unleashed One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells. An eight-meter Slaughter Sword Qi followed close behind, viciously striking the White Bone Saint Banner.

CRACK!

This Holy Artifact had first been pierced by the black spear radiance and was later riddled with cracks. On top of that, the Rotten Corpse Saint had overexerted it, damaging its foundation. Now, struck by the Slaughter Sword Qi, it shattered completely, turning into fragments scattered across the ground.

”My Saint Banner!”

The Rotten Corpse Saint’s heart was bleeding. This was his only Holy Artifact, and it had just been destroyed. With his Plagued Corpse trapped by the Eight Gates of Life and Death Formation, his situation had become extremely dire.

”Origin Technique: Primordial Qi!”

Su Han executed his Origin Technique once more. Instantly, all the energy in his body condensed into a hundred-meter-tall Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe, which he then ferociously swung at the Rotten Corpse Saint. The Rotten Corpse Saint’s aura surged as his Spiritual Energy burst forth. He used a Secret Technique, attempting to block the strike, but the might of the Primordial Qi Opening Sky Axe was too great. It could wound even the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince, let alone the Rotten Corpse Saint.

SPLAT!

The Rotten Corpse Saint was sent flying, a gory wound stretching from his left shoulder to his right abdomen that had nearly split him in half. At this moment, he lay on the ground, his aura faint and his spirit broken. His injuries were so severe they now threatened his life.

”Kill!”

Wielding both the Soul Severing Sword and the Black Blade, Su Han used the Character Technique of Motion to rapidly close the distance. Unwilling to give the Rotten Corpse Saint any chance to struggle, he was determined to strike swiftly and kill him decisively. Nevertheless, the Rotten Corpse Saint gritted his teeth and retreated, avoiding Su Han’s sharp blades. But he did not flee, for he knew that in his grievously injured state, escape was impossible.

Since that’s the case, my only choice is to fight for my life. Whether I live or die now is up to fate!

WHOOSH!

The Rotten Corpse Saint reached out and grabbed, instantly pulling the corpses of Sword Maniac and the others into his hands.

”Low Grade Forbidden Technique: Myriad Corpses Fusion!”
