The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1006 Another Kind of Demonic Assault (2 Updates)
Don't lay a hand on me, everything can be discussed!

Yun Ran shook her head: "No, I don't trust you, and I have no intention of letting you go. Although you are a magical artifact, you have been tainted with evil, and keeping you around would be too harmful!"

Bronze mirror: ...

You, a creature who has "possessed" another body, are telling me that the harm is too great?

But seeing that Yunran was determined to leave no room for negotiation, Tongjing didn't dare to say anything harsh and could only continue to deal with Yunran.

[Anything is fine as long as you stop!]

The sword blade, which was about to be cleaved down by Yun Ran, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Upon looking into the bronze mirror, he exclaimed, "Hey, there's a chance!" and immediately began producing even more words with renewed vigor.

I am more useful than you think; I know everything and can do anything!

Seeing that the bronze mirror had been fooled, Yun Ran sheathed her sword, leaned to the side, and rested on her wheelchair.

A half-smile appeared on his face: "Oh, so powerful? Then tell me about your background, and I'll decide whether or not to let you go!"

Tong Jing was completely unaware that he had fallen into Yun Ran's trap. He only wanted to find a way to survive, so he forced out a lot of words.

I am the Demon-Revealing Mirror. There are twelve bronze mirrors like me. We can see through all illusions. No matter how powerful a creature is, it will reveal its true form in front of us.

Over the years, we have devoured many evil spirits, making them suffer greatly before they vanished into nothingness.

After years of slaying demons and monsters, our original magical artifacts have gradually developed some sentience, allowing us to predict some aspects of the future...

From Tong Jing's words, it is clear that Tong Jing felt that he was completely on the high ground of justice and morality.

Their whole belief was that they were slaying demons and monsters, and that they could easily defeat any kind of evil spirits.

If he hadn't witnessed the horrific scene in the mirror world and seen those demons who were completely incapable of committing evil being tortured and killed, he would have been in a much worse situation.

Yunran might actually believe what the bronze mirror said.

However, Yunran did not doubt that the bronze mirror was deceiving her. After all, at such a critical moment of life and death, a magical artifact that only had a little bit of spirituality could not possibly tell such nonsense.

Therefore, there is only one explanation.

That is, this bronze mirror truly believes it is vanquishing demons and monsters, and even takes pride in it.

Yunran's gaze fell on the bronze mirror again, a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

She said that the bronze mirror could reflect her original appearance, which meant that the bronze mirror itself was a very powerful magical artifact.

Such magical artifacts could easily produce high-level artifact spirits, like the Demon Locking Tower, which could even bewitch people.

But the bronze mirror in front of us, let alone having developed a spirit, hasn't even fully developed its intelligence yet; it only has a slight spirituality.

Based on what the bronze mirror said earlier, one can guess that it was indeed fooled by some people and ultimately used up.

On the path of subduing demons and monsters, nothing is absolute.

Even if a magical artifact is originally positioned as a symbol of justice, once it goes too far in pursuing a certain extreme, isn't that another form of going astray?

The bronze mirror before us is clearly tainted with too much sin and karma because it indiscriminately absorbs the vengeful spirits of demons and monsters.

If it weren't for the fact that the bronze mirror itself believed it was vanquishing demons and that its will was exceptionally firm, it wouldn't have been able to achieve this.

That's why it wasn't swallowed up by those causes and effects and completely turned into a malevolent weapon.

Yunran's regret was fleeting, quickly dissipating. Although the bronze mirror had been manipulated, it had indeed shared in much of the sin; pity and mercy towards one's opponent was cruelty towards oneself.

Now that the bronze mirror is clearly on the opposite side of Yun Ran, she naturally wants to extract more information from it.

"So you're the Demon-Revealing Mirror? Do you know the Heavenly Book?"

The spirit of the divine cauldron knew of the existence of the Heavenly Book, but unfortunately, it had been buried for a long time and had even been dormant for a while.

This bronze mirror is clearly of a high level, and perhaps it really does know the whereabouts of some celestial books.

Yunran was just asking casually, and she wouldn't be disappointed even if she didn't get any information.

But after she finished speaking, the bronze mirror did not react at all, which surprised Yunran.

The bronze mirror had been printing characters quite quickly before; perhaps even magical artifacts become exceptionally pragmatic when faced with the threat of death.

This slight anomaly made Yunran subconsciously become wary.

Although she was still leaning against the wheelchair, the sword in her hand was ready to strike at any moment.

At that moment, when the bronze mirror heard Yun Ran mention the words "Heavenly Book," it suddenly seemed as if it had been attacked.

The scene of horrific wailing in the mirror suddenly became quiet.

Then, the entire mirror world collapsed in an instant, as if it had entered self-destruct mode, and everything turned into dust.

This unexpected event caused the bronze mirror to malfunction, much like an electronic product, and it stopped working.

Let alone answer Yunran's question, he can't even return to normal.

Yun Ran narrowed her eyes, unable to understand how the bronze mirror worked.

But she was certain of one thing: the existence of the Heavenly Book might be the ultimate secret of this world, something that cannot be easily touched.

With a "click" sound.

Yunran stared in disbelief at the bronze mirror that was very close to her; cracks had appeared on the base and frame.

This made Yun Ran gasp in shock; even if she guessed the secret of the Heavenly Book, she couldn't see through it.

But she only asked one question: If the bronze mirror doesn't want to talk, then it doesn't have to, but there's no need for it to self-destruct like this.

The cracks in the base and frame quickly grew larger until they completely split in two.

The bronze mirror embedded in it fell to the ground with a clatter without any warning.

Yunran: ...

In the future, could her record be expanded to include 'I made a magical artifact crumble in shame with just one sentence'?
The bronze mirror that had fallen to the ground—oh no, it should be called a bare mirror—just lay there quietly.

Following Yunran's thoughts, the wheelchair rolled as smoothly as Yunran's feet, directly to the side of the bronze mirror.

Yun Ran didn't immediately reach out and pick up the exposed bronze mirror. Instead, she held up the demon core in her hand and looked at it.

When Yunran saw the scratches on the edge of the exposed bronze mirror, she raised an eyebrow.

As mentioned before, there are twelve bronze mirrors in total, just like this one.

Based on her years of experience in weapon crafting, the scratches on the edge of the bronze mirror were clearly intentionally made by someone.

"Therefore, this demon-revealing mirror in front of us should be one-twelfth complete!"
