Supreme Emperor of Swords

The seriously injured Yue Tianxing had no way to retaliate. His body had been hit repeatedly, and he knew that no one would spare him this time. He burst into a loud guffaw and stared at Ding Hao from a distance. He looked so vicious that he could not wait to devour Ding Hao alive.

“Do you want me dead so badly?”

Ding Hao’s figure flashed to his front, the devil saber in his hand.

Yue Tianxing suddenly gave a mad cry. His whole body bursting with incomparable power, he forced everyone who was besieging him back. Charging at Ding Hao like lightning, he laughed grotesquely. “Haha, I will drag you down into Hell with me! Let’s die together!”

He was going to self-detonate with Ding Hao in his arms.

“Watch out…”

Everyone was shocked. They did not expect Yue Tianxing to be able to fight back.

But Ding Hao was not shocked at all. He seemed to have expected this. Instead of retreating, he advanced, appearing beside Yue Tianxing in an instant. He plunged the devil saber into his chest and said coldly, “You want to self-detonate? Do you think that I don’t know what you’re up to again? I won’t let you have it your way!”

Yue Tianxing’s complexion changed drastically.

He was horrified to find himself unable to control the power in his body once he was stabbed by the devil saber. He could not self-detonate. All his power gushed into the broken saber. This broken saber seemed demonic, taking over his body instantaneously and disarming him of all his abilities. He could not even lift a finger!

“Are you very surprised? Didn’t you say that my rusted sword and devil saber are both forbidden weapons? I thought you knew the power of my saber. But it turns out that you don’t.” Ding Hao clasped Yue Tianxing’s body and whispered in his ear.

Yue Tianxing’s eyes widened like a dead fish’s.

“I can also tell you that my devil saber can absorb the power of a dead man and recompense me after refining it. Tsk tsk, it’s your gift to me. You cultivated hard for years. It’s so hard to reach the Sage Realm. Unfortunately, from now on, all your power will be mine,” Ding Hao said slowly, in a quiet whisper only audible to the two of them.

“You… are… so… ruthless!”

Yue Tianxing’s eyes bulged in anger. Finally, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood. He had actually died from rage!

As a Sage, he did not die when he was besieged by his clan members, nor was he devoured by the devil saber. Instead, he died when he was enraged by Ding Hao’s vicious words. Yue Tianxing must be the Martial Sage who had died the most bizarre and absurd death in history.

Ding Hao was also stunned.

Immediately, the devil saber released its demonic power and devoured all the essence, blood, and energy in Yue Tianxing’s body. The body of the Aloof Man shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye. Finally, only his torn clothes were left. The dead body, now depleted of all its moisture and energy, became mere sand drifting in the void…

The devil saber blade was shimmering with a scarlet demonic light.

A stream of hot current, like a torrential river, flowed into Ding Hao’s body from its hilt up his arm and into his body.

It was the first time his devil saber had devoured a Martial Sage’s energy. The power that returned to him was indeed many times stronger than what he got when it devoured a Demon Emperor. Assaulted by this pure primordial energy, Ding Hao only felt his upper and lower Dantians filled to the brim almost at the same time. The energy he expended activating the rusted sword and the devil saber was replenished in a few brief moments. His flaming Qi and Hell Ice Qi were surging and roaring, almost about to breach another aperture and advance his cultivation to the next level.

Ding Hao was secretly delighted.

Before this, he had been planning to seize Yue Tianxing’s Sage energy.

Things had turned out perfectly.

In other words, he could activate the rusted sword and the devil saber again, meaning that he now had two trump cards in his hands. Even if he were to confront the destruction shadow, he was confident that he could win.

He chose not to breach the aperture, suppressing the two streams of Qi inside his body.

It was obviously not the time to cultivate.

“That brat is right. Your weapons are extraordinary. I’m getting a little interested.” The destruction shadow stared at the devil saber thoughtfully. Then he shook his head. “Well, the game’s over. I’ve lost my patience. Vermin, hand over all your Divine Artifacts, and I will grant you eternal life!”

Before his voice died away, he suddenly attacked.

Whoosh!

A beam of deadly light shot out from his eyes, hurtling toward Wen Duoqing in the Demon Clan’s camp.

Obviously, he was trying to seize his Sand of Time.

The deadly beam of light had reappeared, and everyone’s complexion changed. The Demon Clan’s camp was in chaos. The Great Demons immediately dodged and fled.

Wen Duoqing seemed to have been scared out of his wits. He stood rooted to the spot.

Boom!

A multicolored barrier suddenly appeared in front of Wen Duoqing.

This barrier was as colorful as a rainbow, shimmering with red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, and purple colors. It enveloped Wen Dupqing and the wizen-faced Great Saint of the Demon Clan in its midst, blocking out the destruction shadow’s Netherworld Transfer.

In the hands of this Great Saint of the Demon Clan, a grain of seven-colored sand the size of a fist started gyrating wondrously.

“The Sand of Time!”

This grain of seven-colored sand was one of the three Three Great Divine Artifacts—the Sand of Time.

Wen Duoqing knew that he could not fully exert the power of the Sand of Time with his own strength. So he gave it to the Demon Saint instead. After being activated by that Demon Saint, the Sand of Time was now bursting with divine power, intercepting that lethal attacking ray of light, the Netherworld Transfer.

“A Divine Artifact cannot be fully unleashed by a nobody. Let me have it!”

The destruction shadow was not very surprised. He had obviously expected this. The deadly light beam of the Netherworld Transfer was shooting out from his eyes and bombarding the Sand of Time’s colorful light barrier. Although the light barrier was not shattered, blood oozed out of the mouth of the wizen-faced Great Demon Saint, who was activating the Divine Artifact.

“He can’t hold on any longer!” Ding Hao thought.

He was the first to see that something had happened.

Even a Divine Artifact like the Sand of Time, activated by a Demon Saint, could not counter the attacks of the destruction shadow. His Netherworld Transfer was indeed terrible. But Ding Hao speculated that the wizen-faced Great Saint of the Demon Clan must have not fully integrated the Sand of Time into his body. After all, its real owner was that young demon genius beside him.

Although Wen Duoqing had truly integrated the Divine Artifact, he had not yet reached the Demon Saint Realm. If he were to activate the Sand of Time, he might not unleash as much of its power as that Demon Saint could.

Whoosh!

A scarlet flame shot up the sky from the Human Clan’s camp. With shocking power, it suddenly attacked the destruction shadow.

The power of a Divine Artifact.

It was the God-suppressing Seal.

Yu Miejue had attacked.

Her whole body was scintillating with red fire, as though she was a flaming Goddess of War. Her slender fingers made beautiful lotus-like trails in front of her. The God-suppressing Seal emitted a loud noise like a dragon roar, bombarding toward the destruction shadow.

Numerous human experts stared at the beautiful girl at this moment.

So the other Divine Artifact was really in her hands.

Its power was truly horrific.

“Hahaha, very good. The God-suppressing Seal has shown itself too. It makes me really happy.” The destruction shadow was not shocked but delighted. He sounded relaxed. A deadly beam of black light, the Netherworld Transfer, shot out of his eyes and met the God-suppressing Seal head-on.

Boom!

The two beams of light, one red and one black, collided. Each retreated a few meters.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of brutal collisions followed. Someone seemed to be beating a wild, gigantic, invisible drum in the void. Ripples spread out. The void barrier became as soft as a pool of water.

Of the Three Great Divine Artifacts, the God-suppressing Seal was the most aggressive in attack. Like a gust of fiery wind, it could attack with indomitable force when exerted to the full, suppressing even the gods. Yu Miejue was also an extraordinarily stubborn girl. The artifact really suited her.

However, Ding Hao soon noticed the power of the God-suppressing Seal weakening.

As it collided with the deadly light beam of the Netherworld Transfer, it was soon at a disadvantage.

After all, the beautiful girl, Yu Miejue, had not yet fully recovered from her injuries. By forcefully activating the Divine Artifact, she was already expending a lot of energy. Obviously, she could not hold on for long. But the fact that she had chosen to attack had already surprised Ding Hao. Although she was known as a demoness, she should be more respected than that hypocrite, Yue Tianxing, for her brave decision.

Two of the Three Great Divine Artifacts had already appeared.

Ding Hao knew it was not the time to hesitate. But the Heavenly Samsara Disc in his sea of consciousness was like a lazy and timid child. No matter how hard he tried to activate it, it would not respond. Compared with the God-suppressing Seal and the Sand of Time, the Heavenly Samsara Disc had not revealed any of its power. It did not seem worthy of being called a Divine Artifact.

“D*mn it, why does everything become strange when with me? The rusted sword turned into a stove poker, and the devil saber became broken. My pet became a greedy Demon King. The heavenly puppy was born prematurely and could not inherit its ancestral bloodline. After some effort, I finally found an intact Divine Artifact, yet now I can’t activate it. Am I cursed with bad luck?”

Ding Hao kept cursing in his heart.

The next moment, he also chose to strike.

Like a bolt of lightning, he slashed his devil saber at the destruction shadow.

Surprised gasps could be heard everywhere when he did this.

Even absolute Sages and Saints did not dare to meet the destruction shadow’s Netherworld Transfer head-on. So far, almost no one had dared to engage him in close combat. Was the Saber and Sword Addict digging his own grave?

“Haha, the owners of the Three Great Divine Artifacts are about to attack. Come on, brat, let me see the power of your so-called Heavenly Samsara Disc. It’s said to be the most mysterious and extraordinary of the three!” The destruction shadow remained standing where he was. Another deadly beam of light shot out of his eyes, hurtling toward Ding Hao.
