Chapter 867: Emperor Slaying the Imperial Son

Rumble!

The heavens and earth boiled once more. Although not as terrifying as the previous saintly tribulation thunder, it was still extremely horrifying.

Three Imperial Sons joined hands to besiege Su Han, each deploying powerful forbidden techniques. The combined efforts of these three would usually ensure the demise of any Saint, but unfortunately for them, this time they faced Su Han—fresh from enduring a saintly tribulation thunder.

The Saint Realm was entirely different. Harnessing the power of time, every gesture carried the blessing of temporal force. It had infinite marvels whether in attack or defense. In addition, Su Han tempered his body with thunder; his physical form became even more formidable. His flesh and golden bones were extraordinary.

Having entered the Saint Realm, many former methods and Holy Artifacts can now unleash greater power. Moreover, Su Han mastered numerous techniques and secret arts, making his combat power truly invincible.

Within the First Layer of the Saint Realm, even if an ancient Great Emperor resurrected, Su Han could battle and potentially defeat them.

At this moment, facing the siege of the three Dugu Imperial Sons, Su Han showed no fear. Holding a sword in his left hand and a saber in his right, the aura of a Semi-Saint and Demon erupted forth, resembling a holy demon.

Moreover, Su Han hadn’t yet donned the Ghostly Face Mask—his best artifact for enhancing combat strength. If he were to wear it, his power would increase severalfold, making it easier to kill the three Dugu Imperial Sons.

However, Su Han chose not to do so. Having just transcended a tribulation breakthrough, he wanted to test his strength; the three Dugu Imperial Sons were ideal opponents for real combat.

"Time as a sword cuts all beings!"

Su Han drew upon the Sword Intent of Ages within his dantian and unleashed the deadly sword technique from the [Sword Scripture of Ages] with the Soul Severing Sword.

The Sword Intent of Ages was not just a sword intention but also contained the power of epochs within time. Previously, Su Han could deploy it, but it had average power.

Now, with his comprehension of the Time Law, mastering temporal force, the Sword Intent of Ages conveyed a fully immersive experience.

Slash!

One sword stroke, like cutting through water with a knife, the radiant sword light flowed like water, embodying the meaning of time passing and ages flying.

This water-like sword radiance struck out without enchanting devilry, space remained, and rivers and mountains persisted, seemingly having little power; yet the Dugu Imperial Son’s hair stood on end, his heart filled with fear.

"Dugu Nine Swords of Annihilation!"

The Dugu Imperial Son dared not be careless; wielding the demonic sword, his demonic qi skyrocketed, slashing with full force—a sword radiance screamed out, obliterating all where it reached, causing void collapse, frighteningly intense.

Soon the two sword radiances clashed, yet the Dugu Imperial Son’s annihilating radiance seemed to pass through the Sword Light of Time, as if on different temporal dimensions, unable to touch. However, logically speaking it should not have been this way since he also used time’s power.

Whoosh!

The Sword Light of Time soared across the sky heading straight for the Dugu Imperial Son, ultimately striking him, unleashing the force of ages, causing his physical form to decay rapidly, seemingly aging instantly.

This sword specializes in decaying the body, able to induce physical decline akin to aging. Although this effect cannot persist, as temporal force can gradually erode it, the temporary impact could change the tide of battle.

"Dragon Phoenix Protection!"

"Adorned with Stars and Moon!"

"Nether King’s Protection!"

...

Facing the incoming annihilating sword strike from the Dugu Imperial Son, Su Han deployed various Origin Techniques to form the [strongest defense].

These Origin Techniques increased significantly in power after Su Han’s breakthrough to Saint Realm. Now, layers upon layers of defenses elevated Su Han’s defense to a terrifying extent.

The Sword of Annihilation fell upon the strongest defense, causing only tremors but unable to penetrate or harm Su Han.

"Overlord’s Strike!"

The Chu Family Imperial Son, wielding the dark gold spear, swept forward, power unmatched, brave and formidable, might overwhelming.

Still, this time Su Han ignored him and instead deployed the Character Technique of Motion, exploding with double the speed of sound, aiming to eliminate the Dugu Imperial Son.

He decided to first dispatch the Dugu Imperial Son, then deal with the Chu Family Imperial Son and the Heavenly Strategy Princess.

Boom!

The dark gold spear struck hard upon the strongest defense, resounding loudly as a fearsome surge erupted forth, yet Su Han’s strongest defense remained intact, holy light dazzling, demonic qi surging, obstructing this fearsome spear.

"This won’t do; can’t let him deal with the Dugu Imperial Son!"

At this time the Dugu Imperial Son’s physical body was decayed, amid weakness; the Heavenly Strategy Princess wielded the Bagua disk, promptly striking.

Bagua flames ignited again, flying towards Su Han’s brow, meanwhile the Heavenly Strategy Princess quickly acted, using the Bagua disk as the eye of formation, swiftly executing formation patterns, weaving a low grade sacred formation.

The Heavenly Strategy Princess was not an Array Master, but had learned some basics, while the Bagua disk’s additional use was as an Array Plate.

"Bagua Heart-Locking Sacred Formation!"

The Heavenly Strategy Princess waved her hand, the Bagua disk flying out, transforming into a sacred formation trying to trap Su Han. Unfortunately for her, Su Han was a true Array Grandmaster. Although potent, this sacred formation could not hold him—he quickly broke free, simultaneously using the Divine Sense Star Map to suppress the Bagua flames.

And by now, Su Han had reached close proximity to the Dugu Imperial Son.

"Devouring Heaven Demonic Art!"

Su Han directly deployed the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art. Instantly demonic qi surged, quelled the demon bloodline of the Dugu Imperial Son.

Though a Demon Descendant, the Dugu Imperial Son’s bloodline was thin, unlike Su Han’s pure demonic bloodline, leading to bloodline suppression, greatly diminishing the Dugu Imperial Son’s strength.

"I will fight you to the end!"

The Dugu Imperial Son gritted his teeth, holding the demonic sword, temporal force and spatial force intertwined around him, forming a domain. Meanwhile, he quickly wielded the first three forms of the Dugu Nine Swords, continuously hacking towards Su Han.

Clang clang clang!

Su Han wielded and drew his sword, clashing with the Dugu Imperial Son. In an instant, blades and shadows danced, demonic qi billowed, terrifyingly intense.

Yet the Dugu Imperial Son, already physically decayed, faced bloodline suppression—innately disadvantaged. In this moment, he was no match for Su Han, progressively retreating, spitting blood repeatedly.

"Let’s perish together!"

The Dugu Imperial Son’s eyes reddened, his mouth opening wide as terrifying Imperial Might erupted from within, revealing a black demonic flame. It was not his own demonic eye but the black demonic flame of the Dugu Great Emperor, capable of scorching heavens and annihilating Earth, fearsome beyond compare.

"Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method, body binding, speech binding, thought binding..."

Su Han was already prepared; he unleashed the Divine Prohibition Heavenly Method, instantly inflicting ten minor divine prohibitions upon the Dugu Imperial Son’s body, causing him to stiffen, entering a momentary stupor.

"Divine Method: One Sword Breaks Myriad Spells!"

Seizing the opportunity, Su Han decisively struck, his ten-meter-long Slaughter Sword Qi sliced across the Dugu Imperial Son’s neck, beheading him, then promptly deploying Nine Heavens Divine Light to obliterate his sea of consciousness.

One stroke, the Dugu Imperial Son perished!
