Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

The Heir of the Liu Family had actually been keeping an eye on Su Han all along.

The other prodigies posed no threat to him, but Su Han was different. He was the only man who made Lu Yunxian reveal her gentle side.

The fire of jealousy burned in the heart of the Heir of the Liu Family. He wished he could tear Su Han to pieces and burn him to ashes. However, he needed to maintain his image in front of everyone, so he didn’t attack Su Han directly, opting instead to deal with other opponents first, and then target Su Han at the end.

”The final battle is upon us. Once this battle concludes, the Heir of the Liu Family will seize the first prize.”

”This is already a foregone conclusion. Despite the strength of the Nineteenth Prince and Prince Nangong, even if they join forces, they still are no match for the Heir of the Liu Family. This battle is without suspense.”

”Such a pity; if only someone could stand up to the Heir of the Liu Family, this martial arts competition would be much more exciting.”

Gazing at the three figures on the alternate-dimensional battlefield, no one felt there was any suspense. The strength of the Heir of the Liu Family was overwhelming, so much so that no one believed he could lose.

”Your Highness!”

Eunuch Sun’s gaze was tense with a hint of worry. Making an alliance with Prince Nangong and eliminating the Meng Po Empress and the Dugu Imperial Son was already beyond his expectations. But the Heir of the Liu Family was no easy opponent—this time, a defeat seemed likely. He just hoped His Highness wouldn’t get hurt.

”Xiao Han!”

High above, Lu Yunxian’s heart tightened. She was well aware of the Heir of the Liu Family’s power and knew that the current Su Han was certainly no match for him. She didn’t worry about the Heir of the Liu Family taking the top prize—even death could be a bargaining chip—but she did not want to see Su Han injured.

At this moment, no one had faith in Su Han. Even the nearby Prince Nangong felt their chances of winning were very slim.

But having promised Su Han, he wasn’t going to go back on his word; even against the Heir of the Liu Family, he would fight with all his strength.

”Energy Physique, Hundred Beasts Empowerment!”

Prince Nangong instantly activated his completed Hundred Beasts Battle Body, and immediately, a ferocious and savage aura erupted from his body.

Illusions of a lion, a tiger, a giant python, a black bear, and many others flashed across Prince Nangong’s body.

He fully activated his Hundred Beasts Battle Body, gaining the empowerment of the Hundred Beasts’ strength. His aura surged wildly, becoming brutal and savage, like a humanoid beast intent on slaughter.

Swish!

Prince Nangong took out the Barbaric Copper Holy Staff, gripping it tightly. He was trained in the Barbaric Great Strength Technique, which emphasized breaking all laws with one force, so aside from the black armor he wore for defense, all his Heart Spirit was focused on the Barbaric Copper Holy Staff.

But this alone wasn’t enough to deal with the Heir of the Liu Family.

”Hundred Beasts Domain!”

Prince Nangong opened his domain, where beasts roamed as if in a Myriad Demon Nation. At the same time, he conjured his Heaven and Earth Physique, performing Physique Fusion, making his whole being seem as though possessed by a barbarian god. With a wave of his hand, the space collapsed under the weight of his power.

”Fight!”

Battle intent surged in Prince Nangong’s eyes as he wielded the Barbaric Copper Holy Staff and pushed its power to the limit, even activating its inner Time Power, enhancing the power of the strike tremendously.

Clang!

The Heir of the Liu Family wielded the Green Willow Holy Spear, suddenly thrusting it out to collide with the Barbaric Copper Holy Staff. Instantly, the explosion was deafening, and terrifying energy tore asunder the surrounding space. Countless dark space cracks spread outward, creating a terrifying sight.

Fortunately, they were within the alternate-dimensional battlefield created by Emperor Liu; otherwise, such a terrifying fight would have devastated Wanliu City, leaving it riddled with scars.

Both the Heir of the Liu Family and Prince Nangong were Imperial Sons at the Saint Realm. Within moments, they clashed dozens of times. The relentless explosion of sound echoed, and the terrifying battle energy morphed into a storm that swept the battlefield. Green light tore through the air, and barbaric power howled, as if two deities were locked in combat.

”Time flows like a sword cutting through all beings!”

Su Han wasn’t idle either. He invoked the Sword Intent of Ages and executed the Deadly Sword Technique from the Sword Scripture of Ages. Instantly, a sword slashed through the void, as time seemed to flow away. The brilliant Sword Radiance, like a river of time spanning across space-time, slashed towards the Heir of the Liu Family.

”Heavenly Rank Low Level Martial Skill: Myriad Willows Heavenly Hand!”

The Heir of the Liu Family didn’t turn to confront the attack, instead using a Heavenly Rank Martial Skill. Nine willow branches flew out, continuously lashing the Sword Radiance until it was shattered.

The power of the Deadly Sword Technique was undoubtedly formidable, but the disparity in power between Su Han and the Heir of the Liu Family was too vast. With his current strength, he couldn’t unleash the true power of the sword.

Whoosh!

After the nine willow branches shattered the Sword Radiance, they continued charging at Su Han unabated.

”Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms!”

Facing the nine willow branches, Su Han dared not be careless. He wielded the Soul Severing Sword, quickly performing the Sun, Moon, and Stars Triple Forms, letting loose waves of violent Sword Radiance imbued with the Great Accomplishment Slaughter Sword Intent, shredding each willow branch to pieces.

Yet still, one willow branch broke through all the Sword Radiance, reaching Su Han’s heart, seemingly intent on a fatal strike.

However, the final willow branch ultimately failed because Su Han possessed a Great Accomplished Holy Body along with a complete Great Luo Golden Body. His physical body matched the quality of ordinary Holy Artifacts. The willow branch, not being a solid object, couldn’t pierce Su Han’s Sacred Body.

Su Han lifted his sword and brought it down, cutting the last willow branch, completely disrupting the Heir of the Liu Family’s offensive.

”Hm?”

The Heir of the Liu Family raised an eyebrow, not expecting Su Han to withstand his nine willow branches and noticing an unusual resilience in Su Han’s physical body.

Could it be some kind of unique Body Refining Technique?

He hadn’t considered Special Physique because such traits trigger mutual reactions. If Su Han indeed possessed a Special Physique, the Heir of the Liu Family would’ve detected it long ago, so he assumed it was some form of Body Refining Technique.

However, Prince Nangong’s fierce assault didn’t allow the Heir of the Liu Family much time to ponder.

The combat power of the Heir of the Liu Family was indeed immense. But having already battled with hundreds of prodigies, he had expended significant energy. Currently locked in intense battle with Prince Nangong, he hadn’t yet secured victory.

Rumbles echoed as the battle among the three intensified. Though Prince Nangong and Su Han fought together, they remained at a disadvantage. Yet the Heir of the Liu Family couldn’t swiftly eliminate them either, leading to a minor stalemate.

”Enough. Once Prince Nangong is eliminated, the mere Semi-Saint Nineteenth Prince is no challenge.”

The Heir of the Liu Family hardened his resolve, deciding to use all his power to eliminate Prince Nangong.

”Superior Grade Divine Skill: Void Exile!”

The aura of the Heir of the Liu Family surged as he unleashed a Divine Power Technique.

A massive spatial crack appeared inexplicably before Prince Nangong, swallowing him whole like a giant mouth.

The next second, Prince Nangong’s figure was outside the alternate-dimensional battlefield, his face pale, spewing Holy Blood, his aura withered, grievously wounded.

Inside the alternate-dimensional battlefield, the Heir of the Liu Family also suffered from the energy expenditure, his face pale, blood trickling from his lips.

But he had successfully eliminated Prince Nangong. Within the alternate-dimensional battlefield, only he and Su Han remained.

The real show was just beginning!
