Fate-Defying Demon Emperor

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Great Majestic Demon King! Indeed, a true Evil Demon dwelled within the Black Blade, and it appeared to be a king among its kind.

Su Han lost consciousness and was swallowed by darkness.

An unknown amount of time passed before he awoke to an excruciating headache, as if his skull had been split open. Before Su Han could fully open his eyes, Ning Feifan’s joyous voice sounded beside him.

”Boss, you’re finally awake!”

Struggling to open his eyes, his mind still foggy, Su Han asked, ”Where am I?”

”Boss, this is the Heavenly Thunder Palace on Yaoguang Peak!”

Ning Feifan was wrapped in bandages like a mummy; only his joyful eyes were visible.

The Heavenly Thunder Palace? As his consciousness gradually returned, Su Han looked at the familiar surroundings and confirmed he was indeed in the Heavenly Thunder Palace.

”Boss, you were unconscious for three days with a high fever that wouldn’t break. Your injuries got worse. You scared me to death!” Ning Feifan exclaimed, recounting what had happened after Su Han had passed out.

Lei Ming had erased their residual auras from Gourd Valley before bringing Su Han and Ning Feifan back to Yaoguang Peak. To treat them, Lei Ming had used up nearly all his remaining resources, barely managing to save their lives. Now, Lei Ming had gone out again, and it was uncertain when he would return, leaving only Ning Feifan to watch over Su Han.

This demonic backlash was more violent than the previous two. I must use the Demonized State with caution from now on. Without sufficient Devouring Heaven Demonic Qi, I fear the Great Majestic Demon King might truly consume me.

Looking inward, Su Han’s heart grew heavy. His golden Qi-Blood was dim, his meridians and flesh were damaged to varying degrees, his internal organs were displaced, and cracks had appeared in his Dantian. His situation was dire.

Although Lei Ming had used precious Healing Pills to save him, Su Han still needed a long period of recuperation to recover.

He had an agreement with Qian Xuan in three months, so every minute counted. Furthermore, in seven days, the divine demons would awaken, and he would face another life-and-death battle. These crises allowed for no complacency or delay. With his current injuries, the battle in seven days would be incredibly difficult, to say nothing of the life-and-death duel with Qian Xuan in three months.

Moreover, Su Han had also absorbed Luo Hongyi’s Crimson Flame Emperor Body, activating the corresponding divine demon within the Prison Divine Palace. That demon was now also in the process of reviving.

All things considered, the crises Su Han faced were unprecedented.

But it’s not without its benefits!

Though the crisis had been dire, the gains were equally substantial. Not only had he saved Ning Feifan and eliminated the threats of Wang Ziming and Luo Hongyi, but he had also acquired the Golden Light Fiery Mirror and devoured the Crimson Flame Emperor Body.

After his Sacred Body absorbed the Origin Source of the Crimson Flame Emperor Body, his golden Qi-Blood carried a hint of flame. This gave him not only the ability to use Fire Element Martial Techniques but also a high immunity and control over fire.

The Black Hole Phenomenon, having absorbed the Heavenly Fire Meteor Phenomenon, had also grown from three meters to five. It was now even darker and deeper, like a bottomless pit.

Su Han also obtained the Origin Technique of the Crimson Flame Emperor Body, called Fiery Flame Storm. It was a wide-ranging area-of-effect technique with terrifying killing power, but its Spiritual Energy consumption was also immense. This made it unsuitable for solo combat, which was why Luo Hongyi had not used it.

With the addition of Fiery Flame Storm, Su Han now possessed five Origin Techniques. Having devoured five Special Physiques, his Sacred Body was growing ever stronger.

It’s a pity that the Devouring Heaven Demonic Art can’t help me break through to a new Great Realm. Besides suppressing the Great Majestic Demon King, devouring the Crimson Flame Emperor Body didn’t elevate my Realm at all.

Su Han was already at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, and he remained there, unable to shatter the shackles of his Great Realm to reach the Phenomenon Realm. This left him with a slight sense of regret. However, being able to suppress the Great Majestic Demon King and achieve ultimate victory was satisfaction enough.

”How are your injuries?” After checking his own condition, Su Han turned his gaze toward Ning Feifan.

Wang Ziming had severely injured Ning Feifan, even shattering his Dantian. Since he didn’t possess a Special Physique, recovery was a near-impossibility.

”I... I’m fine!” Ning Feifan’s expression stiffened at Su Han’s question, and he spoke unnaturally.

His physical body was in tatters, many of his meridians were destroyed, and most importantly, his Dantian was broken. He could no longer cultivate. The best he could hope for was to live out his days as an ordinary person.

The look on Ning Feifan’s face weighed heavily on Su Han. Ning Feifan’s plight was entirely his fault. If not for his grudge with Tianxuan Peak, Wang Ziming would never have captured him.

”This world is vast and full of wonders. I believe there must be a treasure that can repair a Dantian. Rest assured, I will find a way to restore yours and make you whole again!” Su Han gazed at Ning Feifan and made a solemn promise.

He could be ruthless and decisive with his enemies, but he was completely devoted to his own people. He already considered Ning Feifan a friend, and he etched this vow into his heart.

”Boss!” Ning Feifan was moved to tears, his voice choking with emotion.

Hearing his boss’s words made even the most grievous injury feel worthwhile.

WHOOSH!

Just then, a flash of Thunder Light descended. Lei Ming had returned.

”Su Han, you’re awake!” Lei Ming immediately saw the conscious Su Han, his eyes lighting up with joy. However, his expression quickly turned somber.

”I’ve accepted an A-grade mission for you. You must leave the Seven Stars Sect immediately.”

Hmm? Su Han was confused, not understanding what his master meant. Lei Ming didn’t hide the reason and spoke with a grave tone.

”The disappearance of Wang Ziming and Luo Hongyi has already attracted the Sect’s attention. Right now, the Enforcement Hall and Elder Xu from Tianji Peak are conducting an extensive search. Although I’ve erased your auras, it won’t hold them off for long.

”If you remain in the Sect, you will undoubtedly fall under suspicion, and things will become very troublesome. Therefore, you must leave this quagmire as soon as possible. Return for the three-month pact. By then, even if the Enforcement Hall has something to say, they’ll have to wait until after your life-and-death duel with Qian Xuan is over.

”Besides that, this A-grade mission is to deal with a True Disciple from the Heavenly Demon Cult known as the Bloodthirsty Little Demon Lord. He slaughters commoners and uses their blood for Alchemy. If you can obtain the Yin Blood Demon Pill he possesses, there’s a chance it could help repair Ning Feifan’s Dantian.”

Repair his Dantian!

Su Han’s eyes brightened. That possibility moved him the most. As for the threat from the Enforcement Hall and Tianji Peak, he was fearless. He viewed life and death with indifference—if provoked, he would fight. A battle to the death was the worst that could happen.

This was an opportunity to kill three birds with one stone: he could escape the turmoil, complete the A-grade mission required to become a Star Child, and seize the Yin Blood Demon Pill to repair Ning Feifan’s Dantian!

Su Han had no reason to refuse. Moreover, with Lu Yunxian currently safe under Liu Rumei’s care, he could leave without worry.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Han made his decision.

”Master, I am willing to go!”
