Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 217 - 204: Leaving the Sect Again

The secret plot between Qin Wushuang and Leng Rufeng was known to no one, and Su Han was naturally even more in the dark.

At this moment, he was in his room, continuing the refinement of his Great Luo Golden Bones. Streams of Golden Spirit Energy were absorbed from the Spirit Gold, which then crumbled to the ground like tofu dregs. One by one, his bones were refined, shining with a brilliant golden light and a profound divine aura as they transformed into Great Luo Golden Bones. The golden light penetrated his flesh and skin, making his entire body radiate with a splendid glow, as if he were a divine statue forged from gold.

WHISH!

When the last wisp of Golden Spirit Energy was absorbed and refined by Su Han, the golden light suddenly surged. It illuminated the entire room, making the wooden house appear as majestic and splendid as a Divine Palace Immortal Hall.

HUFF!

Su Han exhaled a long, turbid breath. It was so full of impurities that it instantly corroded a large pit in the ground where it landed. After exhaling the foul air, however, Su Han himself appeared invigorated and full of energy.

He stood up and stretched his limbs. His body immediately erupted with a series of pops like firecrackers, accompanied by the clear, ringing sound of clashing metal.

At this very moment, golden Qi-Blood circulated within his veins while Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi flowed through his meridians and Dantian. Piece by piece, the gleaming golden Great Luo Golden Bones intertwined with his flesh, exuding a divine charm that made Su Han appear as heroic and imposing as a young deity.

Eighty Great Luo Golden Bones. My hands and ribs are all completely refined!

Tens of thousands of pieces of Spirit Gold, along with a Black Gold Puppet, had granted Su Han a massive boost this time, allowing him to refine forty new Great Luo Golden Bones at once. The only regrettable aspect was that the Golden Light Fiery Mirror was not on his person, which prevented a secondary refinement.

With a total of two hundred and eight bones in his body, Su Han had now refined almost half of them. With the Great Luo Golden Bones and the golden Qi-Blood, the power of his Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist would be even more terrifying. This session of seclusion had brought a significant increase in his strength and a huge harvest.

It’s time to leave seclusion!

Su Han stretched his body and casually pushed the door open, stepping outside into bright sunlight and a gentle, wafting breeze. It was a beautiful, natural scene.

"Boss, you’re out of seclusion!"

As soon as Su Han emerged, he saw Ning Feifan practicing Martial Techniques while Lei Ming stood to the side, giving him pointers.

Ning Feifan had benefited greatly from having his body controlled by the Taiyin Demon Venerable. Not only had he consumed a Scarlet Mist Dao Fruit, elevating him to the Phenomenon Realm, but he had also acquired other treasures from behind those stone doors. Now, with Lei Ming’s personal guidance, his strength was increasing by leaps and bounds.

His realm had actually broken through to the Fourth Layer of the Phenomenon Realm, and his Taiyin Cold Qi 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 lacked spirit; it was blurry and unstable, far from the sharp, ferocious power the Taiyin Demon Venerable himself had displayed. Still, this was a good thing, a sign of Ning Feifan’s vast improvement.

In his desperation to escape, the Taiyin Demon Venerable had gambled everything on Ning Feifan, not only passing on the Taiyin Scripture but also leaving behind a seed of comprehension for the Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi. He likely never imagined that not only would he fail, but he would also end up paving the way for Ning Feifan’s success. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"You’ve broken through three realms consecutively with no hidden dangers. It seems you gained quite an opportunity in the Supreme Cave Mansion." Lei Ming’s gaze swept over Su Han, immediately discerning the change in his realm as he nodded in approval.

He was unaware of the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art, and Su Han never planned to mention it to anyone. After all, the Cultivation Technique was far too heaven-defying. It was not merely an Earth Rank or Heaven Rank technique; it was very likely a legendary Divine Level Cultivation Technique. A Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique alone would be enough to trigger a bloody war. If word got out that he possessed a Divine Level one, not even the entire Seven Stars Sect could protect him, let alone Lei Ming. For his own safety and that of others, Su Han decided to keep this secret buried deep in his heart forever.

"Master, this was a blessing in disguise. If it weren’t for the Blood Poison Little Demon Lord and the others, I wouldn’t have been able to improve so much," Su Han said with a smile, using his spoils of war to conceal 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 and gained some insights." Su Han spoke up, pointing out Ning Feifan’s shortcomings and flaws and telling him how to correct them and improve.

Inside the Prison Divine Palace, Su Han had received the memory inheritances of eight divine and demonic beings. Although they contained no such low-level Martial Technique as the Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi, his vast experience and insight allowed him to spot Ning Feifan’s deficiencies at a glance. His guidance was as effective as that of a renowned master.

Upon hearing his words, Ning Feifan had an epiphany. He practiced according to Su Han’s instructions, and his Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi was suddenly no longer ethereal. It became solid and substantial, powerful enough to fell a large tree with a single stroke. The cut it left behind was as smooth as a mirror and covered in a layer of frost.

Seeing the immense improvement in his Taiyin Netherworld Sword Qi, Ning Feifan’s face went from shock to elation. "Boss, you’re truly incredible!" he said excitedly.

Lei Ming, who was standing nearby, was also astonished. He felt that his many days of guidance had been less effective than a single sentence from Su Han. The thought made his old face flush with a bit of embarrassment.

"Master, I plan to go out for a while!" Su Han did not let Lei Ming feel awkward for long and proactively voiced his intentions. "Confining oneself to closed-door training will never lead to self-improvement. Within the Seven Stars Sect, I can no longer find an opponent among the disciples. So, I wish to go out and temper myself, to grow stronger through real combat and hone my skills."

Training?

Lei Ming was surprised, not having expected Su Han to have such a thought. But it was the correct path. A flower in a greenhouse could 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 train, but your situation is very dangerous. The moment you step outside the Seven Stars Sect, you will face endless perils. I don’t even need to mention that old fiend Qin, and the Great Qian King certainly won’t let you go. I also sense that Tian Yunshan harbors killing intent toward you. On top of that, the Heavenly Demon Cult might even 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 issues," Su Han said as he took out the Heaven-Deceiving Demon Bead. This was the source of his confidence to venture out alone.

"That item is indeed remarkable. Since you’ve already thought it through, I won’t say any more. I trust you have your own judgment and will find your own opportunities. Still, just to be safe, 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 his disciple was destined for great things and that overprotection would only hinder him.

Soon, Lei Ming expended a great deal of Spiritual Energy to create a Supreme Thunder Pearl for Su Han. After receiving it, Su Han said his farewells and departed.

As for the objective of his journey, Su Han had already made up his mind.

My first battle... I’ll kill Tian Yunshan!
