What is this?!
Fang Yuhan was suddenly startled.
"How could you possibly know about the Yellow Spring Diagram?!"
Since Fang Yuhan obtained the Yellow Spring Diagram, he had kept it hidden carefully. Even the closest people of Fang Yuhan had no idea that he possessed such a treasure.
How could Su Ming know about it when he never even directly met him once??
He had only just arrived a few days ago, hadn't he?
"W-Who are you, really?"
Fang Yuhan's face showed fear, his voice trembling.
Su Ming didn't bother to explain further, and the aura around him started to expose itself.
*Swish*
A majestic and overwhelming presence radiated as he stretched his hand forward.
"You are already about to die, you don't need to know too much."
*Creak*
At the same time, a shadow of a tree faintly appeared behind Su Ming.
The ancient tree towered into the clouds, piercing the heavens above and reaching the underworld below.
Its vast branches extended, each strand pulling on threads of fate.
This was the seed of the World Tree, nurtured by Su Ming.
Using Fang Yuhan's luck points, the seed broke open, and the sapling grew.
Now, drawing on fate had become much easier.
"No-No-No!"
Fang Yuhan's face changed drastically, as if he could see countless threads of eternal fate being pulled away from him.
The tree's shadow swallowed them, and panic instantly devoured Fang Yuhan's face as he tried to flee.
But at this moment, Su Ming had already completely locked onto him.
*Zap!*
A giant hand overshadowed everything, grabbing Fang Yuhan.
The next second.
Fang Yuhan felt as though something was being drained from his body, and his whole being shook violently, like a monster smashing his deep organs.
*Whoosh!*
A massive scroll flew out of his body, unfolding in mid-air.
When the scroll spread, it seemed to contain a whole world within it.
*Swoosh*
A terrifying aura swept outward as the Yellow Spring Diagram appeared, spreading a ghostly, dark energy.
"No! The Yellow Spring Diagram! This is mine!"
Fang Yuhan's eyes nearly popped out as he desperately tried to grab the Yellow Spring Diagram.
But the Yellow Spring Diagram, which once belonged to him, now ignored his lowly commands and fell into Su Ming's hands, like a loyal knight kneeling in front of his king.
Su Ming smiled slightly as he held the Yellow Spring Diagram and looked at Fang Yuhan.
"Now, it's time to send you on your way."
Without saying more, Su Ming struck with a single palm.
*Bang!*
Fang Yuhan didn't even have time to scream before a massive force engulfed him.
He couldn't resist at all, and in an instant, his soul scattered and his body blasted in a mix of flesh and fountain of blood.
*Boom!*
*Shrr*Shrr*
Disgusting mixture of flesh and blood scattered around.
Fang Yuhan was dead, his path chosen by the destiny vanished from existence!
At the same time, as Fang Yuhan perished, Su Ming felt his World Tree seed grow a little stronger.
A notification sound popped in his ears.
[Child of Luck Fang Yuhan killed! Quest completed.]
[Ding! Detection shows that Fang Yuhan's luck value is lower then zero, all treasures dropped upon his death.]
[Ding! Host has obtained 50,000 Demonic Charm Points for the Quest completion!]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained Fang Yuhan's Martial Artifact: Yellow Spring Diagram.]
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained Fang Yuhan's Martial Skill: Dragon Profound Killing Technique..."
[Congratulations, host! You have obtained Fang Yuhan's Martial Weapon: Steelfiend Pestle...]
[Congratulations, host...]
The notification sounds kept ringing, nearly overwhelming Su Ming's calm mind.
But he paid no attention to those distractions and focused his gaze on the real deal, the Yellow Spring Diagram in his hands.
"This is the real treasure among all those!"
Excitement flickered in Su Ming's eyes.
The golden finger of the fated child, this thing, both in power and potential, was an incredibly terrifying existence.
"Everything else is just supplementary. Just the Yellow Spring Diagram alone is enough for me to refine for a while."
"Not to mention the 50,000 points of Demonic Charm Points.... This reward is truly generous."
Su Ming was thrilled.
The 50,000 points of Demonic Charm could significantly enhance his techniques or be used to purchase items from the shop.
At this moment, another notification sounded in his ears.
[Ding! Detected a Fate item, it can be refined.]
[Refining the 'Yellow Spring Diagram' once requires 20,000 points of Demonic Charm.]
Hiss...
20,000 Demonic Charm for just one time?
The cost was a bit too high.
Su Ming hesitated for a moment but at the end decided to go ahead.
Such a precious secret treasure like the Yellow Spring Diagram, refining it sooner would yield unspoken benefits.
Refining it earlier would also bring Su Ming peace of mind, which was more important.
As Su Ming confirmed the use, the Yellow Spring Diagram in front of him glowed golden.
*Humm*
In the next instant, the diagram turned into a golden stream of light, imprinting itself onto Su Ming's arm.
A pattern of a rushing Yellow Spring River was formed.
The refinement progress of the fate item increased to 5%.
A profound understanding surged in Su Ming's mind.
The Yellow Spring surged, rushing endlessly.
Terrifying spiritual energy spread out, all of which Su Ming slowly refined into his body.
Su Ming started to meditate in the mid air, floating and emitting golden aura.
.....
After a while, Su Ming finally opened his eyes.
There was a flash of lightning in his eyes as he pointed forward.
*Boom!*
A terrifying spiritual energy exploded from his fingertips, as if the power of the Yellow Spring was rushing toward him.
"Mastery of the Holy Technique: Yellow Spring Finger."
Yellow Spring Holy Technique!
This technique was at least a Purple-level skill!
A single finger could easily destroy the soul!
"Not bad!"
Su Ming was very pleased.
Though 20,000 points of Demonic Charm Points were quite costly, the improvement was extremely beneficial to him.
With a thought, he opened his status panel.
[Host: Su Ming]
[Identity: Son of the Demon Emperor of the Three Thousand Great Worlds]
[Realm: Myriad Laws Realm]
[Constitution: Primal True Demon Heart, Ancestral Dragon Sacred Body (15%)]
[Cultivation Technique: Demon Emperor Sutra]
[Fate Item: Yellow Spring Diagram (5%)]
Divine Abilities: Extreme Demon Celestial Art, Holy Demon Fist, Primal Demon Eyes (Beginner), Yellow Spring Finger
[Magic Artifacts: Extreme Ice Divine Talisman (40%)]
[Demon Charm Points: 36,000]
Su Ming looked at his progress and smiled in satisfaction.
Not to mention anything else, just having an additional fate item slot made him feel greatly at ease.
"In time, as the Yellow Spring Diagram continues to be refined, the rewards will only grow richer."
Su Ming understood well the vast potential of the Yellow Spring Diagram.
This was truly an Emperor's relic.
The Yellow Spring Emperor, in ancient times, was a ruler of great power after all.
Everything he learned in his lifetime was stored in this Yellow Spring Diagram.
And most importantly, this Yellow Spring Diagram held the secret to his attainment of the Emperor's path, the Yellow Spring!
For most warriors, fighting against the heavens with their power, reaching the Holy Realm was enough to create a Dao Sect and control a Holy Land and enjoy supreme status.
But in the eyes of an Emperor, those were nothing but cannon fodder...
