The Demon with Holy Radiance

How to choose?

For Yang An, this question required almost no consideration.

It was impossible for him to give up the Forbidden Artifact Fragment already fused within his body.

Once he abandoned the Golden Sun, he would lose the power to command one of the Three Spiritual Light, which would drastically weaken all the Light Forbidden Techniques he had mastered.

Furthermore, if the Three Spiritual Light were truly the power to save the world, Yang An didn’t believe anyone in this world, other than himself, could fuse with them without paying any price.

If the Golden Sun were taken from him, the world’s collapse would be inevitable. In that case, he would be the one to lose any chance of escaping this world.

His enemies were growing stronger, and spending more time searching for the other components of the Three Spiritual Light was simply not an option.

It seemed the old man had given him two choices, but in reality, there was only one.

Yang An was well aware of this, as was Life Crane.

Looking at the bead floating before him, Yang An didn’t hesitate to take it.

’Whether this is a scheme or not, I’ll only know after I touch it,’ he thought. ’My Identification Ability will give me the answer.’

[Golden Sun Fragment]: A Top Grade Forbidden Artifact Fragment derived from the Xianyuan Forbidden Artifact [Golden Sun]. It contains a portion of the Power of Rules capable of controlling Sunlight. As this item is incomplete, the duration and range of its power when wielded will be limited. Cultivators below the Zombie God realm will suffer a fatal backlash from the Power of Rules if they forcibly fuse with it. When used without fusion, a maximum of one-third of its power can be unleashed.

Cost of Use: Each use of this item’s Power of Rules will drain a large amount of the user’s lifespan, depending on the duration and range. Fusing with this item is affected by the Power of Rules, drastically lowering the success rate. Each use of the Power of Rules will incur a backlash; this backlash is infinitely amplified for those with impure qi in their bodies.

Status: Has been fused with a Forbidden Artifact Fragment of the same origin. Can be Purified!

Reading the description in the information box, he confirmed that this was undoubtedly the real Golden Sun. But upon seeing the cost of use, an inexplicable look flashed through Yang An’s eyes before he clenched it tightly in his hand.

"As expected of my good disciple. You have indeed given your master a satisfactory answer."

Seeing Yang An accept the Golden Sun, Life Crane nodded in satisfaction, a smile appearing on his face.

Yang An seemed to think of something. He put away the Golden Sun and took out the Moon Shadow he had received earlier, presenting it with both hands.

"Your disciple thanks you, Master. I am returning this Forbidden Artifact Fragment to you now."

’Now that I have the real one, the fake one should naturally be returned to its owner.’

Now that Life Crane had revealed his intentions, Yang An was temporarily safe. He knew what kind of posture he needed to maintain.

But Life Crane only glanced at it casually before looking away.

"This Forbidden Artifact Fragment is called Moon Shadow. It can copy and disguise all things. It might be useful to you. Consider it a gift from your master, since we haven’t seen each other in a long time. There’s no need to return it."

’The old man is just like he used to be,’ Yang An thought, ’completely disdainful of these Forbidden Artifact Fragments.’

Since he had said as much, Yang An had nothing more to say and accepted it without ceremony.

At this moment, Yang An still had questions and opened his mouth to speak.

But before he could get a word out, Life Crane was already in front of him.

Life Crane’s face was expressionless, but the He Tou on his head gave a slight smile.

The next moment, Life Crane tapped a finger on his forehead.

The movement was too fast, far beyond the limits of Yang An’s perception and prediction. By the time he came to his senses, an icy sensation was already on his forehead, and a tremor ran through his entire body.

An incomparably scorching sensation erupted from his entire body. Crimson flames spewed from his pores, and in an instant, a raging inferno engulfed him, turning him into a human torch that burned fiercely.

The flames formed a massive pillar of fire that shot into the sky, easily piercing through the entire cave like a volcanic eruption.

But with Life Crane’s finger still in place, although Yang An’s body was burning, an icy sensation protected his core.

’This guy...’

His thoughts were not restrained, and seeing this, he immediately guessed what Life Crane was trying to do.

’Life Crane is trying to summon my true body!’

Normally, when his vessel body collapsed, his consciousness would automatically return to his true body. But what Life Crane was doing now was destroying this current body while trapping his consciousness here—doing the exact opposite to summon his true body instead.

Yang An had guessed correctly. As his vessel body burned violently in the flames, quickly turning to charcoal and crumbling to ash, a powerful suction force emanated from his location, instantly locking onto his true body thousands of miles away.

Not only could Yang An sense the location of his own true body, but Life Crane could as well.

Yang An’s true body answered the summons, rushing over at an incredible speed. His true body was in Nirvana City, and the fact that it could be summoned from there meant that not even the Forbidden Calamity could stop it.

It moved faster and faster, drawing closer to the Golden Thread Pavilion. In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, a black shadow rushed into the Golden Thread Pavilion at a speed unimaginable to ordinary Cultivators. It even entered the mountain range behind the pavilion before anyone present could react.

Yang An’s body pierced through the mountain rock, entered the cave, and was immobilized by Life Crane, who then withdrew his hand.

By the time Yang An came to his senses, the violent flames had completely dissipated, and he had returned to his true body.

He let out a long breath. He had already guessed that once he took the Golden Sun, Life Crane wouldn’t let him leave. He just hadn’t expected the old man to summon his true body without a single word.
