Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Golden Light Fiery Mirror

Luo Hongyi was worthy of her title as the Star Child of Tianji Peak. She was not only powerful but also possessed treasures far beyond ordinary people.

Dao Artifacts are incomparably precious and far superior to Magic Artifacts. Their creation requires not only precious materials and a High-Level Artifact Refiner, but most importantly, a wisp of Dao Rhyme.

Dao Rhyme is mysterious beyond measure. It is not born naturally, nor is it created artificially. Instead, it is an aura produced by a powerful expert during Enlightenment. This aura contains the expert’s understanding and perception of their own Dao, making it immensely valuable.

The Enlightenment State is something one can only encounter by chance, not seek out. An expert capable of producing Dao Rhyme must be at least in the Supreme Realm. Furthermore, Dao Rhyme is intangible, making it extremely difficult to capture and infuse into a weapon. This is what makes Dao Artifacts so rare and precious.

The might of a Dao Artifact is unparalleled, far beyond that of a Spiritual or Magic Artifact. The difference is akin to that between an ordinary Martial Technique and an Earth Rank Martial Technique. Although the Seven Stars Sect was the overlord of Qingzhou, it did not possess many Dao Artifacts. Among the disciples, only those who became a Star Child would be bestowed with one.

And Luo Hongyi’s Dao Artifact was the Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror in her hand.

”Su Han, consider it an honor to die by my Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror!”

With the Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror in hand, Luo Hongyi’s eyes were filled with frenzied murderous intent.

The hexagonal Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror was the color of crimson flames and adorned with fiery striations. These markings formed a clean and pure lotus shape, giving off an aura of absolute firmness and yang, as if its flames could incinerate the heavens.

Luo Hongyi possessed the Crimson Flame Emperor Body, making the Pure Yang Dao Artifact a perfect match for her.

”Die!”

Luo Hongyi’s Spiritual Energy surged as she activated her Crimson Flame Emperor Body at full power, pushing the Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror in her hands to its limit.

Dao Artifacts were not only powerful but also had an immense energy cost. Even with her strength, Luo Hongyi had to exert her full power to successfully activate it.

ZZZT!

A dazzling beam of Golden Light Fierce Fire shot out from the mirror. It was pure yang and irresistibly powerful, its might terrifying.

The beam of Golden Light Fierce Fire was only as thick as a finger, yet it burned and distorted the very space around it. It was like a Golden Fire Divine Sword that no mortal body could withstand.

Su Han dared not be careless and quickly used the Character Technique of Motion to dodge. However, the Golden Light Fierce Fire clung to him like a shadow. Su Han’s mastery of the technique was only at the Entry Level, so he could not shake it off.

”Origin Technique: Dragon Phoenix Protection!”

”Origin Technique: Adorned with Stars and Moon!”

”Origin Technique: Star Shifting Technique!”

Unable to dodge, Su Han could only confront it head-on. He swiftly employed three Origin Techniques. Instantly, the Starry Moon Armor materialized on his body, a phantom Dragon and Phoenix guarded his sides, and myriad stars swirled around him. Combined with his Sacred Body, this was Su Han’s strongest defensive state.

But the might of the Dao Artifact was simply too great. The beam of Golden Light Fierce Fire instantly pierced through the Dragon Phoenix Protection, shattered the Starry Moon Armor, and finally penetrated Su Han’s abdomen.

If the Star Shifting Technique had not weakened a portion of the Golden Light Fierce Fire’s power, his injuries would have been even more severe. Even so, a fist-sized, bloody hole was burned into his abdomen. If not for the vigorous Qi-Blood of his Sacred Body, he would have lost all combat power on the spot, left to await his death.

Too strong! Utterly and truly too strong! The Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror was simply not something Su Han could withstand. He was like a child facing a steel blade, completely powerless to turn the tide.

”Again!”

Luo Hongyi’s face was pale, and a fine, cold sweat beaded on her pristine forehead. Activating the Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror clearly placed a great burden on her. But her eyes blazed with fury, and a tidal wave of killing intent flooded her heart. She cared nothing for the consumption of her Spiritual Energy; her only thought was to kill Su Han.

A second beam of Golden Light Fierce Fire appeared, just as pure in its yang energy and just as unbeatable.

”Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist!”

Su Han consumed a Healing Pill to stanch the bleeding and suppress his injuries. Facing the second beam of Golden Light Fierce Fire, he had no choice but to counter it with his Great Luo Golden Bone.

The Great Luo Golden Bone was also an object of extreme firmness and yang, so perhaps it could withstand the attack. As for whether it would shatter in the process, Su Han had no time to consider it.

The golden emperor silhouette manifested again, its Golden Fist Radiance sweeping across the sky, seemingly invincible. But this time, it met its match.

When the Golden Light Fierce Fire collided with the Golden Fist Radiance, there was a sizzling sound. The Golden Fist Radiance was instantly ignited and incinerated, quickly burning away into nothing.

The Golden Light Fierce Fire, on the other hand, merely dimmed slightly before continuing its path unabated, ruthlessly striking Su Han’s left hand.

This Golden Light Fierce Fire was immensely powerful. It had previously pierced his abdomen with ease, and now it incinerated the flesh on his left hand to ash, revealing the radiant, essence-rich Great Luo Golden Bone within.

This time, however, the Golden Light Fierce Fire failed to pierce the Great Luo Golden Bone. It could not even leave a crack.

Instead, upon striking the Great Luo Golden Bone, the beam of fire was absorbed like water into a sponge. The bone absorbed it so quickly that the light completely vanished.

At that moment, Su Han felt his Great Luo Golden Bone being tempered. It grew not only harder, but its aura was elevated from one of firmness and yang to one of pure Yang Qi.

If the Great Luo Golden Bone was like ordinary gold before, it had now been reforged into Heaven and Earth Spirit Gold. The two were worlds apart.

The only downside was that the Golden Light Fierce Fire had only tempered a single piece of the Great Luo Golden Bone, leaving the other twenty-nine unchanged. Still, this outcome was an incredible and pleasant surprise for Su Han!

”What kind of bone is that? How could it possibly absorb my Golden Light Fierce Fire?!”

Seeing her Golden Light Fierce Fire being absorbed, Luo Hongyi’s pupils shrank, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. Her Golden Light Fierce Fire contained a trace of Dao Rhyme and possessed terrifying might. Ordinary defensive means could not withstand it, a fact proven when Su Han’s many defenses crumbled before it. Yet now, it had been absorbed by a single, small bone. This... This is simply inconceivable!

Unwilling to accept this outcome, Luo Hongyi instantly retrieved a Heavenly Spirit Pill from her Storage Ring and consumed it. It was an elixir made specifically to replenish Spiritual Energy, with a single one being worth a million Spirit Stones—an immensely precious item.

Soon, her expended Spiritual Energy was replenished, and she activated the Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror once again.

”Great Luo Golden Body Technique!”

Far from being alarmed, Su Han was thrilled. He no longer feared the Golden Light Fierce Fire. He extended his left hand toward the incoming beam, simultaneously executing the Great Luo Golden Body Technique to absorb and temper it.

Soon, a second Great Luo Golden Bone was tempered, advancing to a higher stage of refinement.

I don’t believe it! Luo Hongyi felt like she was going mad. The Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror was her greatest trump card. How could it possibly fail to kill Su Han?

She suddenly drained her remaining Spiritual Energy to shoot out three beams of Golden Light Fierce Fire at once. They flew at Su Han from different directions, designed to overwhelm him.

However, this was the exact opportunity Su Han had been waiting for. In an instant, his vast, nebula-like Divine Sense surged forth, pressing down on Luo Hongyi.

”Body Binding Technique!”

One of the seventy-two minor Divine Prohibitions, the Body Binding Technique, instantly immobilized Luo Hongyi, rendering her unable to move.

Without Luo Hongyi’s control, the three beams of Golden Light Fierce Fire, though powerful, could no longer track Su Han. He activated the Character Technique of Motion, weaving between the three beams and instantly appearing before Luo Hongyi.

This Dao Artifact is mine!

Su Han’s hand shot out and snatched the Golden Light Fierce Fire Mirror. He then slashed out, sending Luo Hongyi flying.

At that moment, Luo Hongyi was utterly and completely defeated.
