Fate-Defying Demon Emperor-Chapter 231 - 218: Overnight Wealth
The Heavenly Demon Cult was the overlord of Mozhou. With a heritage spanning over a thousand years, they had accumulated countless treasures and a profound foundation. Although the top-tier treasures had been taken by the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign this time, the wealth stored in the Demon Cult's vault remained beyond measure.
Su Han had visited the treasure vaults of the Lu Family, the Qin Family, and the Tiayun Dynasty, but they were insignificant in comparison to the Demon Cult's vault; the difference was like that between heaven and earth.
What lay before him was not a cellar or a palace, but a vast space as large as three to five palaces combined. The entire vault was filled to the brim. All sorts of treasures glowed, casting a multicolored radiance and projecting thousands of ethereal light beams. The myriad energies mingled, causing the very space to distort slightly. If Su Han's Sacred Body hadn't been so strong, he might not have been able to withstand this energy alone.
"Spirit Stones!"
As far as he could see, there was a mountain of Spirit Stones a hundred meters wide. These were no ordinary Spirit Stones—they were all Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, each one containing dense Spiritual Energy and holding immense value. There were probably 100,000 Supreme Grade Spirit Stones in this mountain. This pile alone was worth enough to buy a Supreme Grade Dao Artifact at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.
Apart from Spirit Stones, there were also many weapons. Even the lowest-grade items were Supreme Grade Magic Artifacts. Dao Artifacts, which were rare in the outside world, numbered twenty-seven here, each one incredibly precious and unique.
Su Han's gaze fell upon a glove, the only Supreme Grade Dao Artifact among them all. The glove wasn't thick but was as thin as a cicada's wing and semi-transparent, as if woven from silk. Upon closer observation, he found that each thread in the glove glowed and contained a faint trace of Dao Rhyme.
What kind of glove is this?
His eyes shone as he investigated it with the Nine Heavens Eye. Finding no hidden dangers, he beckoned with his hand, drawing it to him. Using the Secret of the Soldier Character to control it, he then put it on.
As soon as he slipped it on, Su Han felt a tremendous force empowering him, making his very bones crackle. The power was so overwhelming, it felt as if the weight of ten great mountains had been pressed upon him. His skin and flesh, unable to bear the strain, instantly burst open.
However, he possessed the Great Luo Golden Bone—impossibly hard, pure yang, and Vajra Undying—and he forcibly withstood this enormous power. Although Su Han could control the glove with the Secret of the Soldier Character, the might of a Supreme Grade Dao Artifact was too intense, and it was a great strain for him to wield it with his current strength.
CRACK!
With a slight wave of his hand, space itself tore apart, creating several dark fissures. It was as if even space couldn't withstand the force and was on the verge of shattering. Although the spatial cracks were as thin as hairs and only covered an area the size of a basin, this was just from a gentle wave. If he punched with his full strength, the power would be even greater. He couldn't even imagine its might if he were to unleash the Golden Emperor Tanyang Fist.
What a treasure!
Although the glove caused his skin and flesh to rupture, its power was unmatched. Su Han's eyes lit up with delight, and he continued to play with it for a while.
It's a pity there's only one glove. If there were a pair, I could probably kill Physique Realm experts with just my bare fists!
Su Han felt a slight pang of regret, but he knew that obtaining this glove was already incredibly lucky. One shouldn't be too greedy.
He took off the glove and stored it properly. As for the injuries on his hand, Su Han took a Healing Pill and activated his Sacred Body's self-healing ability, gradually recovering. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Besides Spirit Stones and weapons, there were many other treasures here, such as Talismans, Array Plates, Elixirs, Poisons, Spirit Gold, and more. He soon spotted a Supreme Grade Dao Talisman, a Thousand-Mile Transference Talisman capable of teleporting its user a thousand miles in an instant. Next, a Supreme Grade Dao Elixir landed in his hand. It was a Peak Elixir, which could instantly restore a person to their peak condition—as good as having a second life.
Such treasures! I'm taking them all!
With shining eyes, Su Han swiftly transferred the vault's many treasures into the Bronze Ring. The space inside the Bronze Ring was infinitely vast. An ordinary Storage Ring, even a high-grade one, would be unable to carry so much at once. The Bronze Ring, however, was like a bottomless pit; it showed no signs of filling, no matter how much he put into it.
Like a whirlwind, Su Han swept one treasure after another into the Bronze Ring, and the brilliant spiritual light within the vault rapidly dimmed. If the Earth Fiend Demon Sovereign were to witness this scene, he would surely be enraged enough to spew blood.
After a full hour of work, Su Han had transferred most of the treasures, leaving only one large item behind.
It was a massive skeleton, standing eight hundred meters tall and belonging to an unknown creature. It radiated a tremendous, fierce might that made one's very soul tremble, as if encountering an ancient ferocious beast.
Is this… a Suan Ni?
Thanks to the inherited memories of eight divine demons, Su Han recognized many things. The skeleton's general shape and its overwhelming, ferocious aura led him to this conjecture. But the Suan Ni was a legendary offspring of a dragon, a true Divine Beast. It was not only incredibly powerful but also priceless. Even a single bone would incite a battle among Saints, and perhaps even those in the Great Emperor Realm, let alone an entire skeleton.
No, that's not right. This isn't a true Suan Ni; it has no divine might. It must be a descendant of a Suan Ni, possessing only part of its bloodline.
Su Han's gaze sharpened as he quickly made another judgment. A genuine Suan Ni's Divine Bone would likely set the entire Desolate Heavenly Ancient Realm in motion, with countless Immortal Forces vying for it.
However, even though this was not a Divine Bone, it was from a descendant of the Suan Ni that possessed part of its bloodline. The skeleton still radiated a faint Holy Might, indicating that in life, its power had been close to the Saint Realm.
Using this skeleton, perhaps I can forge a Holy Artifact! Although the Holy Might isn't strong, with the Suan Ni bloodline and some precious artifact refining materials, I might really be able to forge one.
Holy Artifacts were known to be exceedingly rare. Both the Seven Stars Sect and the Heavenly Demon Cult possessed only Semi-Holy Artifacts, and while they bore the word "holy," they paled in comparison to genuine Holy Artifacts. This skeleton of a Suan Ni descendant was extremely precious, even more so than the Supreme Grade Dao Artifact he had just acquired.
No question about it. I'm taking it!
WHOOSH!
Su Han activated the Bronze Ring, and the eight-hundred-meter-tall skeleton vanished into it. Luckily, his Bronze Ring was no ordinary object. If it had been anyone else, they likely wouldn't have been able to take away so many treasures.
Now, every last treasure from the Demon Cult's vault had been completely plundered by Su Han, leaving behind nothing but an empty space. He had smoothly completed the first of his two major goals for this trip. This time, Su Han had achieved an unprecedented haul, truly becoming rich overnight.
