Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 105: Chapter 105: The Great Harvest

The turmoil of the outside world could not diminish the splendor of Yaoguang Peak. Su Han returned to the peak with Lei Ming. Thanks to the Healing Pills he had taken and the restorative power of his Sacred Body, his injuries had already healed considerably.

”Su Han, you did well this time!”

Contrary to the expectations of Su Han and Ning Feifan, Lei Ming did not scold them. Instead, he laughed heartily.

”I took you as my disciple for several reasons. Beyond the ones I mentioned before, there’s another: your life-and-death feud with that old ghost Qin!

”Within the Seven Stars Sect, that old ghost Qin and I get along the worst. Our strengths are comparable, but with the Sect Master and the Sect’s rules holding us back, we’ve never been able to settle things. As my Yaoguang Peak declined, that old ghost only grew more rampant. This time, you gave him a proper slap in the face. That suits my temperament perfectly.”

Lei Ming laughed heartily, venting the frustration in his heart. This time, Su Han had suppressed an entire peak by himself, beating the Tianxuan Peak disciples until they had no fight left in them. He had even trampled Tianxuan Peak’s pride underfoot. Su Han had accomplished something Lei Ming had always wanted to do but couldn’t, which was naturally an incredibly satisfying feeling for him.

”My feud with Qin Wushuang can only end when one of us is dead. Since that’s the case, there’s no need for false pleasantries,” Su Han said with a smile. Lei Ming’s protective nature had given him a favorable impression of the man. If his decision to join Yaoguang Peak had previously carried a hint of reluctant acceptance, he was now completely willing.

After enjoying a hearty laugh, Lei Ming offered a reminder. ”The Sect Competition is in just over twenty days. You’ve suppressed the Tianxuan Peak disciples and gained a great deal of Cultivation Resources. For now, don’t leave the peak. You want to avoid giving the Law Enforcement Elders any pretext to cause you trouble.”

After this incident, Su Han was sure to become a famous figure in the Seven Stars Sect and would certainly be watched by the Enforcement Hall. Laying low was his best option. Besides, he was no longer lacking in Cultivation Resources.

SWISH!

With a wave of his hand, Lei Ming summoned a mountain of gold that appeared before Su Han and Ning Feifan.

The golden mountain stood thirty meters high, composed entirely of dazzling Spirit Gold. Each piece was priceless, and this was the entire harvest from Lei Ming’s recent excursion.

”There are a total of 1,001 pieces of Spirit Gold here,” Lei Ming explained. ”The quality varies, but the purity is good. Start with these. If it’s not enough, I’ll figure something out.”

Lei Ming truly spared no effort in nurturing Su Han. He had plundered this Spirit Gold from the Sect’s own mine, a feat for which he had fought a great battle, though he didn’t deign to mention such trivial matters.

Gazing at the mountain of gold, Ning Feifan’s eyes glittered. Su Han’s eyes also lit up in pleasant surprise. With so much Spirit Gold, he could refine more Great Luo Golden Bones. Then, even if Qian Yuan had the Supreme Arm, he was confident he could defeat him.

”Thank you, Master. I will not fail you!” Su Han bowed, causing Lei Ming to laugh heartily once more.

Soon, Lei Ming returned to the Heavenly Thunder Palace on the summit. He had also been slightly injured in his recent battle and needed a few days to recover.

With Lei Ming gone, Su Han and Ning Feifan began to divide the spoils of war. The haul was incredibly substantial. By defeating over six hundred Tianxuan Peak disciples, Su Han had acquired over six hundred Storage Rings. Just selling the rings alone would bring in a considerable income, to say nothing of the various treasures inside.

It took them a full hour to inventory everything.

”Boss, we’ve struck it rich!” Ning Feifan’s eyes practically turned into the shape of Spirit Stones as he danced with excitement. ”This time, we got more than 2,370,000 Spirit Stones, 3,452 elixirs, 821 various weapons, 1,583 Spirit Talismans, and all sorts of Spirit Gold, Spiritual Liquids, and Artifact Refining materials! The total value is over ten million Spirit Stones!”

Ning Feifan was so excited he nearly fainted. These treasures were comparable to the royal treasury of Ning Country, yet this was just from Su Han’s one-day haul. The feeling of getting rich overnight was simply too exhilarating; it still felt somewhat surreal to him.

”I’ll take seventy percent, you take thirty,” Su Han said suddenly, making Ning Feifan think he was hearing things.

”Boss, what did you say?” Ning Feifan asked again, unable to believe his ears. He had only cheered from the sidelines and hadn’t lifted a finger. Su Han had won all these spoils by himself. Even if Su Han gave him nothing, he would have had no complaints. But Su Han was actually offering him thirty percent—that was equivalent to three million Spirit Stones! Ning Country was just a small nation; even as its Crown Prince, he had never possessed such wealth.

”Since you call me ’Boss,’ of course I won’t treat you poorly,” Su Han said with a smile, patting Ning Feifan’s shoulder. ”Train well, and don’t tarnish Yaoguang Peak’s reputation!”

While Su Han didn’t open up to people easily, Ning Feifan had risked his life for him and had believed in him unwaveringly. For that, Su Han wouldn’t be stingy.

”Boss, I could just die, I love you so much!” Ning Feifan howled with excitement, stopping just short of throwing his arms around Su Han and planting a big kiss on him.

Soon, the spoils were divided. Su Han took the Spirit Gold from Lei Ming and entered his room to continue his seclusion. With both Lei Ming and Su Han gone, only Ning Feifan was left, rolling around excitedly on the ground. However, he soon came to his senses.

No, Elder Lei and the Boss are so strong. I can’t be the one to drag them down. I have to train! I have to get stronger! I have to become Yaoguang Peak’s brightest star!

Inspired by Su Han, Ning Feifan looked at the trove of cultivation resources he now possessed. Wouldn’t it be a great disservice to the Boss’s generosity if he just idled his time away?

Thus, Ning Feifan also went into seclusion. All of Yaoguang Peak fell silent, with only the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the trees.

Inside his room, Su Han once again set up a simple alert Spiritual Formation, then took the Spirit Gold from his Bronze Ring.

First, I’ll refine the Great Luo Golden Bone. Once all the bones in my left hand are tempered, I’ll be able to contend with the Supreme Arm. If there’s time left after that, I’ll push for the Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm!

Su Han had already planned out his seclusion. His main goal was refining the Great Luo Golden Bone, with breaking through to the next realm as a secondary objective. Of course, he hadn’t forgotten the middle-aged man in the Prison Divine Palace. If the man could awaken before the life-and-death duel, Su Han would be able to consume him and obtain a new Divine Demonic Heritage.

The Great Luo Golden Bone!

The Seventh Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm!

The Divine Demonic Heritage from the Prison Divine Palace!

These were the goals Su Han set for himself. With twenty-two days left until the duel, if all went well, he would emerge from this seclusion even more powerful than before.

”Time to begin,” Su Han whispered, taking a light breath. He grasped a piece of Spirit Gold and began absorbing the Golden Spirit Energy within to temper the bones of his hand.

His left hand began to glow brightly, rich with a divine aura. It resembled the hand of an ancient god, filled with infinite majesty.

Su Han sat cross-legged, his expression dignified and as immovable as a mountain. His strength grew, bit by bit. As pieces of Spirit Gold were consumed one by one, the bones in his left hand were gradually tempered, transforming into new Great Luo Golden Bones.

In this battle of life and death, I will be invincible!
