Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 547: I’m Here to Kill You

A Supreme who had broken through three realms, defeated Ye Lingyin, and amassed ninety-nine consecutive victories! In the past month, the Tian Luo Saint had been the focus of the entire Eastern Region. Countless people were excited for him and idolized him. Most of the people who had come for today’s battle were here for the Tian Luo Saint. And now, he had finally arrived!

ROAR!

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens and the earth, resonant and imposing. A dragon-shaped Holy Light tore out from the Void, baring its fangs and claws with profound Dragon’s Might. Atop the dragon-shaped Holy Light sat two figures, one of whom was the Holy Master of the Tian Luo Net Holy Land: the Heavenly Dragon Saint. This duel was no small matter, so the Heavenly Dragon Saint had personally come to escort the Tian Luo Saint. However, the focus of the massive crowd was not on the Heavenly Dragon Saint, but on the Tian Luo Saint beside him.

The Tian Luo Saint stood tall and straight, like a Divine Spear aiming for the heavens—unbending and sharp. What shocked people most was his temperament. After being honed by ninety-nine victories, he now possessed a battle intent that was even more invincible than when he had first emerged from seclusion. This battle intent was so strong it was almost tangible, causing everyone present to hold their breath. They felt it wash over them, stirring a deep fear in their hearts and crushing any thought of challenging him.

"Such terrifying battle intent! With its enhancement, the Tian Luo Saint’s Combat Power will surely be even more formidable."

"Is this the Tian Luo Saint? Just standing here, I feel an oppressive weight like a mountain pressing down on me. It fills my heart with fear. I don’t dare to strike at him, much less fight him. Who could possibly stand against such battle intent?"

"He has such battle intent after ninety-nine victories. If he wins today, it will be a hundred consecutive victories. By then, he will have forged a one-hundred-victory battle intent. That alone would be enough to crush most prodigies."

The moment the Tian Luo Saint appeared, his overwhelming battle intent left a deep impression on everyone, shaking them to their core. A deafening clamor erupted from the crowd. All discussion, and every gaze cast toward the Tian Luo Saint, was filled with fervor and worship, as if he were a god in their minds.

"The disposition of a Great Emperor!" Yun Chang’s brow furrowed slightly as she gazed at the Tian Luo Saint. She saw in him the disposition of a Great Emperor, which meant he was qualified to strive for the Great Emperor Realm in the future. Everyone knew that every era produced hundreds, if not thousands, of prodigies with incredible innate talent, yet very few ever reached the station of Great Emperor. Even Chu Feng, ranked first on the List of Prodigies, couldn’t claim with certainty that he would break through to the Great Emperor Realm. But now, the Tian Luo Saint had already distinguished himself, revealing the disposition of a Great Emperor. As long as a figure like him cultivated steadily, he was guaranteed to become a Great Saint at the very least. For a moment, Yun Chang’s heart filled with anxiety as she worried for Su Han. The Tian Luo Saint is so powerful, and Su Han is nowhere near his match. Can he really win today’s battle? If he loses, the only path left for him is death!

Yun Chang’s heart was in turmoil. Beside her, the Prophecy Great Saint grew even more perplexed. He could see the Tian Luo Saint’s power, yet his divination had predicted the outcome of the battle would be an even fifty-fifty split. Could Su Han have truly grown strong enough to rival the Tian Luo Saint? The Prophecy Great Saint was startled. He decided he had to watch Su Han very closely and see for himself what this dark horse, who had risen from obscurity, was truly capable of.

From the Ye Family’s jade carriage, Ye Lingyin’s voice trembled slightly with a mix of bitterness and shock. "He’s grown stronger again!"

Prodigies were the favored children of the heavens and naturally possessed their own pride. Her sights had always been set on Chu Feng; she wanted to defeat him and claim the number one spot on the List of Prodigies for herself. However, before she even had the chance to challenge Chu Feng, she was challenged and defeated by the Tian Luo Saint. This was unacceptable to her. Her Dao Heart had been shaken over the past month, and she had spent her days in a daze. That was why she had decided to come observe this battle. She wanted to see the Tian Luo Saint again, hoping she could find a way to defeat him. But after a month of continuous challenges, the Tian Luo Saint’s Aura had only intensified and his power grown even greater, making Ye Lingyin’s heart sink.

Aboard the Xiao Family’s warship, Xiao Tianming witnessed the overpowering presence of the Tian Luo Saint. His expectation for Su Han shifted from a "must-win" to a simple hope that he would do his best. This was a sign that he was afraid, that he no longer harbored any thought of competing with the Saint. Su Han, just do your best.

At this moment, all eyes were fixated on the Tian Luo Saint. The powerful were astonished, the prodigies were filled with reverence, and the onlookers worshipped him. The Tian Luo Saint had yet to make a single move, but he had already subdued the entire crowd. In their hearts, many already considered him one of the absolute strongest in the Eastern Region. A Tian Luo Saint this formidable was someone that perhaps not even Chu Feng could match.

The Heavenly Dragon Saint was very pleased with the crowd’s attitude. With a smile, he waved his hand, signaling the Tian Luo Saint to enter the battlefield. "Hao’er, go. Go and embrace the glory that is yours!"

The Tian Luo Saint nodded. Without a word, he flew toward Holy Meteor Mountain. Within Holy Meteor Mountain lingered the resentment left behind by the Great Saint of the Mysterious Abyss. This resentment could not only damage one’s Physical Body but also erode their sea of consciousness, driving them to madness and death.

The Tian Luo Saint’s body radiated a brilliant golden light. His bearing was majestic and righteous, like a Vajra of the Buddhist Sect, impervious to all evil. He transformed into a streak of golden light and flew toward Holy Meteor Mountain, eventually landing upon its summit. The corrosive resentment of this place had little effect on him. With his Vajra Holy Body at the Great Accomplishment stage, he could easily withstand it.

Seeing the Tian Luo Saint ascend Holy Meteor Mountain with such ease, the crowd’s gaze changed once again, growing even more fervent. A Tian Luo Saint like this possessed the air of a young Great Emperor. His very presence became the focus of all attention, the sole center of the world. A figure like him was destined to sweep away all enemies, invincible and unstoppable.

"The Tian Luo Saint has arrived. I wonder when Su Han will show up." One of the two combatants was present, and now everyone waited for Su Han. As soon as he arrived, the Life and Death duel would officially begin. Although ninety percent of the people believed Su Han was coming only to die, they still needed him to appear so they could witness the continuation of the Tian Luo Saint’s path to invincibility.

By midday, Su Han still had not appeared, and the crowd grew restless.

"Could it be that Su Han doesn’t dare to come?"

"Perhaps after hearing about the Tian Luo Saint’s glorious record, he’s scared witless."

"Tch, so much for being the biggest dark horse. I say he’s just a coward, too frightened to even show his face!"

Many in the crowd were cursing and complaining, convinced that Su Han was too scared to face the challenge. As minutes turned into hours, many grew impatient. However, with the Tian Luo Saint and numerous other Great Saints present, they didn’t dare cause a scene.

As the sun began to dip below the horizon, painting the sky crimson, a Holy Light streaked through the air and swiftly appeared before the crowd.

"He’s here!"

"Su Han is here!"

Seeing this, the crowd erupted with excitement. Atop Holy Meteor Mountain, the Tian Luo Saint also looked up. Within the Holy Light were Su Han and Saint You Heng. Su Han lifted his head, his gaze meeting the Tian Luo Saint’s in mid-air. A voice thick with murderous intent boomed from his lips: "I! AM! HERE! TO! KILL! YOU!"
