Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Leaving the Sect Again

No one knew of the secret plot between Qin Wushuang and Leng Rufeng, and Su Han was naturally even less aware.

At this moment, he was in his room, continuing to temper his Great Luo Golden Bones. Threads of Golden Spirit Energy were absorbed from the Spirit Gold, which then crumbled to the ground like dregs. One by one, his bones were tempered, shining brilliantly with a profound charm. They transformed into Great Luo Golden Bones, and the golden light shone through his flesh to his skin, causing Su Han’s entire being to emit a dazzling golden glow, like a divine statue forged from gold.

WHOOSH!

When the last thread of Golden Spirit Energy was absorbed and refined by Su Han, the golden light suddenly surged. It illuminated the room, casting the wooden house in a splendor resembling a Divine Palace Immortal Hall, making it appear majestic and resplendent.

HUFF!

Su Han exhaled a long breath filled with impurities. As it fell, it corroded a large pit into the ground. After exhaling the turbid air, Su Han felt revitalized and full of spirit.

He stood up and stretched his limbs. Immediately, a series of crackling, firework-like sounds exploded from his body, metallic and sonorous.

At this very moment, golden Qi-Blood flowed within his veins while the Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi circulated through his meridians and Dantian. Each of the gleaming golden Great Luo Golden Bones was interwoven with his flesh, emanating a divine charm. Su Han appeared valiant and majestic, like a young heavenly deity.

Eighty Great Luo Golden Bones. The bones in my hands and my ribs are now all fully tempered!

Tens of thousands of pieces of Spirit Gold, along with a Black Gold Puppet, had given Su Han a tremendous boost this time. He had managed to temper forty new Great Luo Golden Bones in one go. The only shame was that the Golden Light Fiery Mirror was not with him, preventing a second round of tempering.

With a total of two hundred and eight bones in his body, Su Han was now almost halfway through tempering them all. With his Great Luo Golden Bones combined with his golden Qi-Blood, the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist would be even more terrifying when he used it. This period of seclusion had massively increased Su Han’s strength, and he had reaped immense rewards.

It’s time to come out! Stretching his body, Su Han casually pushed open the door. Outside, the sunlight was bright, a gentle breeze blew, and the natural scenery was beautiful.

”Boss, you’ve come out of seclusion!”

As soon as Su Han stepped out, he saw Ning Feifan cultivating a Martial Technique, with Lei Ming offering guidance by his side.

The Taiyin Demon Venerable’s possession of Ning Feifan’s body had, paradoxically, brought him quite a few benefits. Not only had he consumed a Red Dawn Dao Fruit, advancing to the Phenomenon Realm, but he had also acquired other treasures from the opportunities within those stone doors.

Now, under the personal guidance of Lei Ming, Ning Feifan’s strength was improving by leaps and bounds. His realm had actually broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm, and his Taiyin cold energy was even more condensed than before. He had even managed to cultivate a strand of Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi. However, his Sword Qi had form but no spirit. It was indistinct and unstable, far from being as sharp and fierce as that personally displayed by the Taiyin Demon Venerable. Still, this was a good sign, indicating that Ning Feifan had made significant progress.

On that day, to escape his predicament, the Taiyin Demon Venerable had gambled everything on Ning Feifan. He not only imparted the Taiyin Scripture but also left behind a seed of insight for the Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi. He likely never imagined that he would not only fail but also pave the way for Ning Feifan’s success.

”Breaking through three realms with no hidden weaknesses. It seems you gained quite a fortune in the Supreme Cave Mansion.”

Lei Ming’s gaze swept over Su Han, instantly recognizing the changes in his realm, and he nodded in approval. He knew nothing of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, and Su Han never planned to mention it to anyone. After all, the cultivation technique was simply too heaven-defying. It was definitely not an Earth Rank or Heaven Rank technique; it was very likely one of the legendary Divine Level cultivation techniques.

A Heaven Rank cultivation technique alone was enough to ignite a bloody war. If others knew he possessed a Divine Level one, forget Lei Ming; even the entire Seven Stars Sect couldn’t protect him. For both his own safety and that of others, Su Han decided to keep this secret buried deep in his heart forever.

”Master, I was blessed in disguise this time. If not for the Blood Poison Little Demon Lord and the others, I couldn’t have improved so much,” Su Han said with a smile, using his spoils of war to cover up the effects of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art.

”Feifan, are you cultivating the Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi? When the Taiyin Demon Venerable was controlling you, I fought him once. I have some insights,” Su Han spoke up, pointing out Ning Feifan’s deficiencies and telling him how to correct and improve them.

Within the Prison Divine Palace, Su Han had obtained the memories and inheritances of eight divine demons. Although it lacked a low-level Martial Technique like the Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi, his vast insight and experience allowed him to spot Ning Feifan’s shortcomings at a glance. His guidance was like that of a great master.

Upon hearing this, Ning Feifan had an epiphany. He cultivated according to Su Han’s guidance, and his Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi was no longer insubstantial. It became solid, powerful enough to cleave a large tree in a single stroke. The cut surface was as smooth as a mirror and covered in frost.

”Boss, you’re incredible!” Seeing the massive improvement in his Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi, Ning Feifan was first amazed, then ecstatic, as he spoke excitedly to Su Han.

Lei Ming, standing nearby, was also stunned. He felt that his many days of mentoring were less effective than a single sentence from Su Han, a realization that made his old face flush.

”Master, I plan to go on a trip,” Su Han said, not wanting Lei Ming’s awkwardness to linger. ”One can never improve by working in isolation. Within the Seven Stars Sect, I can no longer find an opponent among the disciples. Therefore, I want to go out and temper myself, using battle to fuel my cultivation and sharpen my skills.”

Tempering? Lei Ming was surprised, not expecting Su Han to have such an idea. But it was the right one. A flower raised in a greenhouse can never grow into a towering tree. He could protect Su Han for a time, but not for a lifetime.

”I have no objection to you going out to temper yourself, but your situation is very dangerous. The moment you step out of the Seven Stars Sect, you will face endless crises. Old Ghost Qin goes without saying, and the Great Qian King won’t let you go either. I can also see that Tian Yunshan harbors killing intent toward you. Besides them, the Heavenly Demon Cult might send powerful experts to ambush you.”

”Master, I once obtained a Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead. It can hide my form and conceal my aura. No one below the Heavenly King Realm can detect me. As long as I’m careful, there shouldn’t be any major problems,” Su Han explained, taking out the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead. This was the source of his confidence to venture out alone.

”This item is indeed excellent. Since you have already thought it through, I will not say more. I believe you have your own judgment and your own destiny to follow. However, to be on the safe side, I will give you another Supreme Thunder Pearl. I hope you return safely.”

Lei Ming nodded, choosing to trust Su Han. He could see that Su Han was no ordinary person and that overprotecting him would only end up harming him.

Quickly, Lei Ming expended a great amount of Spiritual Energy to create a Supreme Thunder Pearl for Su Han. After receiving it, Su Han bid his farewell and departed.

As for the objective of his journey, Su Han had already made up his mind: First battle: kill Tian Yunshan!
