The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Chapter 308 - 269: Treasure of the Otherworld (Part 2)

After taking out the small orb, Lynn held it up and observed it closely. Its surface had a glossy black sheen, seemingly because it had just been extracted from the base of the Demon Mirror and was still emitting a bit of Demonic Qi. But after being taken away and left to sit for a moment, it turned into a colorful appearance, resembling a universal item with all attributes.

Lynn, with a thought, held the small orb close to the Saint Emperor’s Sword. In the next second, his hand instantly felt the searing heat emanating from the sword’s blade. However, before the heat could intensify into a burning sensation, the small orb turned from a colorful appearance into a white fluff. At the same time, the Saint Emperor’s Sword, which had been giving Lynn’s hand a sauna treatment, immediately calmed down, not only ceasing to burn him but also showing a sense of closeness to him.

Apologies, officer, I didn’t recognize you earlier...

Although the Saint Emperor’s Sword couldn’t speak, Lynn could roughly sense its meaning.

Seeing his beloved Holy Sword behave this way, Lynn mustered the courage to grasp it, and then a long-lost, almost blood-linked, exclusive feeling spread through his body.

This is my sword! This is truly my sword!

Holding his old companion tightly, Lynn was almost moved to tears.

Finally, I’m holding you in my hands again, my precious Holy Sword...

And thankfully, the Saint Emperor’s Sword couldn’t speak, otherwise, having eaten dust in the storage space for a while, the mighty sword might have exclaimed a few words.

"Being treated as a treasure now, are we? Did you think of me for even a second when you were on women, elves, little dragons, and witches? Hah! Scumbag!"

"Hamman mentioned where he got it from, didn’t he? Oh, the Archipelago World, truly, it’s no wonder it’s a Great World, seems to have produced some real treasures..."

With the small orb restoring the Holy Sword, Lynn felt a surge of heroic spirit, thinking that even if the Demon Dragon Emperor resurrected, he could stand and fight him head-on.

After all, though he still couldn’t compare to the Demon Dragon Emperor with a full set of the Destruction Demon Emperor Set, he was stronger than he once was with only the Saint Emperor’s Sword in hand.

The Saint Emperor’s Armor, Saint Emperor’s Ring, along with the initially acquired Saint Emperor’s Sword, he had collected three pieces of the Saint Emperor’s Eight-piece Set, which counted as a small half set, strengthening his power by a degree or two, right?

"Such good stuff... ah ah ah, damn damn damn!"

Lynn marveled at his return to prominence and picking up a treasure, feeling ecstatic and somewhat careless. Looking at the No. 1 Demon Mirror toppled on the table due to his rough handling of its base, Lynn instinctively reached out to support it, and then he sustained a frostbite...

The bone-chilling cold that invaded him made half of Lynn’s hand feel numb, colder than drinking a cold beverage in the dead of winter, nearly causing him to fling the Demon Mirror away.

So when one endowed with magic power encounters a Light Divine Artifact, they’ll be burnt by the strong light, and when wielding light holy power and encountering a Demon Realm heirloom, they’ll be attacked by the dark aura, right?

You truly do counter each other huh...

This was indeed a lesson without bleeding.

Lynn set down the Saint Emperor’s Sword, then shaking the small orb near the Demon Mirror, when seeing the small orb turn pitch black again, he reached out to carefully put away the two pieces of the Demon Mirror.

Once he had properly stored the Demon Mirror, he returned to touch the black little orb to the Saint Emperor’s Sword, and the orb instantly washed white.

The speed of attribute conversion in this thing is really fast, almost instant. In lower to mid-level battles, a strong opponent who can change attributes at any time is definitely a nightmare for opponents.

Unfortunately, in high-level matches, that mere second of conversion time would be a major weak point for giving a free shot away.

But that doesn’t mean this thing couldn’t be used in high-tier games. Changing attributes mid-battle might be risky, but there’s nothing preventing you from changing beforehand, right?

As everyone knows, I, Lynn, am a dignified Light Divine Envoy, so if I unleash a Demon Dragon descent attack and instantly defeat a fully armed opponent who maximized their Light Resistance, that’s quite normal, isn’t it?

Thinking of this, Lynn wanted to test the wonders of the Otherworld’s treasure further, but the sound of joyful footsteps could be heard from afar, forcing him to pause.

A short while later, Natasha returned with lunch to feed her dear husband.

Lynn put away everything, obediently ate, but his mind was on how the Saint Emperor Sword Armor and the two pieces of the Demon Mirror seemed to almost stick together, wondering if it was because this small orb in Hamman’s hand was constantly switching between Light Holy Power and Dark Magic Power, which led to an "opposites attract" situation.

The No. 1 Demon Mirror was attracted over by its own, while the No. 2 Demon Mirror was coincidentally involved, but when he experimentally held them and the Saint Emperor Sword Armor with a little distance between each in the void, he personally checked that there was no repulsive reaction.

In other words, not only can this small thing conversely change completely opposing attributes, it even has the potential to allow some communication between them?

If it could be developed further, would it achieve the legendary convergence of light and dark?

Convergence of light and dark, coexistence of water and fire, unity of yin and yang, and such early era novel settings, still in demand before he transmigrated, were repeatedly explored by people.

He has never fused it, so he couldn’t say exactly what this fusion would entail.

But once countless novel protagonists mastered this skill, they went on to slay gods and conquer immortals, suggesting that it must be quite powerful.

After all, he had experienced transmigration, lending more credence to the things said in novels to some degree; besides, it didn’t cost anything.

Just how to develop it...

Lynn bit the fork, falling into deep thoughts, as he couldn’t do much apart from fighting and battling...

Furrowing his brow in contemplation for a moment, Lynn’s concern overpowered the taste of the meat in his mouth.

"Lynn, Lynn, what are you thinking about so intently? You’re about to swallow the fork, you know."

Natasha’s voice suddenly sounded in his ear, and when Lynn turned his head, he saw his little dragon wife looking at him with concern.

"Nothing really, just received a gift today, completed a small half set of the Saint Emperor’s Armor, thinking whether to find a way to complete the set."

Lynn couldn’t say that he was pondering whether he could pull off a Demon Trace Saint Emperor idea, so he had to make up an excuse to try to pass through.

"The Saint Emperor’s Armor... it’s a top-tier Divine Artifact created way back from a very ancient era, constructed by the Eight Great Ancient Gods each crafting one piece, which they passed down to their descendants by blood. Later, the Eight First Emperors used these Holy Emperor’s Divine Artifacts to found their nations, forming the origins of the current Eight Great Empires."

"However, over incredibly long years, the Eight Great Ancient Gods gradually developed stark strength differences, with the Light God emerging as the supreme King of Gods."

"And then, as the heirs of the Eight Great Empires became increasingly incapable of wielding the Saint Emperor Divine Artifacts, the Ancient God’s Treasures gradually reduced to heirloom decorations only for viewing."

"So, after the Demon Race invaded the Miracle World, the Light God King manifested miracles, collecting the Eight Great Empires’ eight pieces of Saint Emperor Divine Artifacts and casting them anew into a Light Divine Artifact with maximum patriarchal strength effective against the Demons, raising them to a mortal’s ultimate level of 999."

"Since then, what was once eight unrelated pieces of the Saint Emperor Divine Artifact set has transformed into a Light attribute Divine Artifact set. However, including you, Lord Lynn, no supreme power holder of the Miracle World has ever completed the Saint Emperor’s Armor set, even if someone were to, it would not be useful, as they lacked level 999, rendering them unwearable..."

"Sigh..."

Based on the Dragon Race’s legacy passed down from ancient times, Natasha casually lamented, also feeling the disappointment of failing to meet expectations.

His Majesty the Light God King possessed unmatched foresight, powers reaching the heavens, yet may have overestimated His own descendants somewhat.

The whole Light Empire, during the wars against the Demons, never produced a singular Light Element hero reaching over level 999; the eight painstakingly redesigned pieces of the Saint Emperor’s Armor have languished continent-wide collecting dust...

Of course, not entirely blaming the Light Empire’s Divine Blood Nobility and generations of talents either, since, after all, the remaining Seven Great Empires also didn’t produce a Savior who could equip the Saint Emperor’s Armor, did they?
