Chapter 368: Five Thousand Years Old, Zu Tu’s Fear

Chapter 368: Five Thousand Years Old, Zu Tu's Fear

Han Jue read the mail for a long time before devoting himself completely to cursing his enemies.

The Immortal Realm was undergoing turbulent changes, but Han Jue was merely a bystander. Reading the mail was just to relieve his boredom, as there wasn't much he could do.

A month later.

Han Jue continued to Cultivate, his goal still set on Second Profound Divine Essence.

According to his estimation, he could break through in a hundred years at most.

Such a speed of cultivation was still very fast.

…

Seventeen years later.

Inside the Innate Cave Mansion, three lines of text popped up before Han Jue:

[It has been detected that you have reached five thousand years of age, taking another step in life. You have the following choices:]

[1. Immediately enter the calamity, vie for immense Luck, rise amidst the chaotic calamity, and awe the heavens. You will receive a great dao fragment, a heavenly dao spirit stone, a Divine Ability Inheritance, and a Supreme Treasure.]

[2. Do not enter the calamity for now, Cultivate low-profile. You will receive a great dao fragment and a heavenly dao spirit stone.]

Han Jue cursed inwardly.

Ever since the Calamity started, the choice rewards tended toward entering the calamity.

This was trying to lure him into the calamity!

Han Jue refused to give in.

The Calamity was far too dangerous; things were fine as they were, allowing him to Cultivate in peace.

Han Jue wanted to emulate the Dao Ancestor—reaching the Peak upon his debut and suppressing the entire Calamity with his own power.

"This is not my era!"

"My era will be in the next Calamity!"

Han Jue thought silently, then chose the second option.

[Congratulations on obtaining a great dao fragment and a heavenly dao spirit stone.]

He was only one fragment away from nine great dao fragments!

As for the heavenly dao spirit stone, it was used to upgrade Magic Treasures.

Without much hesitation, Han Jue directly brought out the book of misfortune and the heavenly dao spirit stone, beginning to upgrade the book of misfortune.

Since he was not entering the calamity, other offensive Magic Treasures had no use, so it was better to strengthen the book of misfortune, which could even alter the situation of the Calamity.

After the heavenly dao spirit stone merged into the book of misfortune, a black light burst forth from it, shining on Han Jue's face.

The entire cave mansion appeared eerie and terrifying, like a demon's den.

Seven days later.

[The book of misfortune has been upgraded from a God Realm Spirit Treasure to a God Realm Supreme Treasure.]

A God Realm Supreme Treasure!

Even without deducting his lifespan, God Realm entities still couldn't withstand the book of misfortune's curses.

If it absorbed lifespan, this treasure could exert an even more powerful effect.

Han Jue decided to test the waters.

He would curse Zu Tu first!

Apart from Zu Tu, it was either inconvenient to curse his other enemies or unnecessary to curse them to death directly.

He would start by offering one hundred million years of lifespan for Zu Tu!

Han Jue thought silently.

Five days later, his lifespan began to drop.

On the other side.

In the Divine Palace, Zu Tu was resisting Han Jue's curse power when he discovered with astonishment that this power was much stronger than before.

This was a bad sign!

Following Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor and the Demon Emperor, was he going to be the next target for the Dark Forbidden Lord to strike?

"Hmph, let's see what you can possibly do to me!"

Zu Tu refused to submit and continued resisting the power of the curse.

The power of the curse continued to increase.

Roughly two hours passed.

Zu Tu's face suddenly changed, thinking secretly that things were bad.

He had no choice but to resist with all his strength.

The next day.

He produced a Magic Treasure he had prepared long ago—a red lotus. Holding the red lotus before his lower abdomen, a continuous stream of red Qi entered his body.

Even so, his complexion turned deathly pale.

Inside the Innate Cave Mansion, Han Jue's eyes were already bloodshot.

He had already spent eight billion years of lifespan!

He would stop once he reached ten billion years!

He stared fixedly at the Attribute Panel, terrified that he might drop a few extra years of lifespan.

An hour later.

He abruptly put down the book of misfortune, having squandered exactly ten billion years of lifespan!

He let out a long breath and muttered, "Invigorating!"

Now that the book of misfortune was upgraded, he didn't believe Zu Tu hadn't suffered at least some harm from the curse!

On the other side.

Zu Tu couldn't help but spurt out an arrow of blood. Raising his right hand, he rapidly tapped several Acupoints on his body to control his rampaging magic power.

"Dammit… How could his curse power be this strong? Is his cultivation higher than mine, or is he using some special method?"

Zu Tu gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with shock and rage.

Cursing for a long time would backlash against the curser. When he usually cursed someone, he would never exceed a single day for one target. How could the Dark Forbidden Lord sustain a curse for nearly ten days?

If he had been in battle during this period, wouldn't the consequences be disastrous?

For the first time, Zu Tu felt true fear toward the Dark Forbidden Lord; previously, he had merely been wary.

"No, I must find him!"

"Recently, the Darkness Cult defected to the Heavenly Court. Could the Dark Forbidden Lord be from the Heavenly Court?"

The more Zu Tu thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

With the Dao Sect and the Darkness Cult supporting the Heavenly Court, there was clearly a mysterious power driving all of this from behind, attempting to push the Heavenly Court onto the altar.

Perhaps if the Heavenly Court was crushed, the Dark Forbidden Lord wouldn't be able to sit still anymore.

As long as the Dark Forbidden Lord showed himself, Zu Tu would have a way to kill him!

Thinking of this, Zu Tu's gaze grew cold and grim.

…

Twenty years later.

Han Jue stopped cultivating and began his once-a-decade curse routine.

While cursing, he checked his mail.

[Your friend Immortal God Ji was attacked by your friend Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.]

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang was attacked by your friend Reincarnation Immortal Emperor.]

[Your friend Li Daokong was attacked by a Mysterious Great Power.]

[Your friend Huang Jihao obtained a Great Power's Legacy. His Sword Dao transformed, and he reached Half-step Emperor Realm.]

[Your Disciple Long Hao had an Epiphany regarding the Great Dao of Fate. His Dao Cultivation surged.]

[Your friend Heavenly Emperor was attacked by Heavenly Court Immortals and Gods] x280

[Your friend Huang Zuntian received guidance from a Saint, learned a Divine Ability, and his Dao Cultivation and Luck surged.]

[Your friend Zhou Fan joined the Darkness Cult. His Luck transformed.]

…

Over the past decade, no mysterious curses had appeared. It seemed that both Blood Nether River and Zu Tu had quieted down.

However, Han Jue noticed that the Heavenly Emperor was attacked by Immortals and Gods.

He had always felt that there were many traitors in the Heavenly Court. Even Di Taibai, whom the Heavenly Emperor trusted the most, was disguised by the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor. It was impossible for all the other Immortals and Gods to be loyal.

Han Jue wasn't worried either. The Heavenly Emperor definitely had ways to deal with it; how could anyone who reached the position of Heavenly Emperor be a mediocre person?

In addition, Huang Zuntian caught Han Jue's attention.

Has this guy actually hooked up with a Saint?

Han Jue felt he needed to be careful when meeting Huang Zuntian in the future. What if a Saint erased the Six Paths Imprint deep within Huang Zuntian's Soul, turned him into a Puppet, and used him to plot against him?

It was very possible!

Saints could not enter the mortal world and could only manipulate chess pieces.

Just like that figure from Nuwa Palace.

Just as Han Jue was contemplating, a vast and mighty pressure descended, enveloping the entire Nine Nether Purgatory.

Immediately after, a domineering roar echoed out:

"all living beings of the Heavenly Dao, hear my command! The Divine Palace is a Puppet supported by the Demon Race! After gaining power in the Calamity, they intend to slaughter all living beings. Anyone who slays Divine Palace Disciples will receive merits and rewards according to their contributions. Bring the token of a Divine Palace Disciple to the Heavenly Court to claim your reward! You may be conferred as a god or attain Immortal Ascension, and enjoy heavenly dao merit!"

"Whoever slays Zu Tu shall be conferred as a Heavenly Court Emperor!"

The Heavenly Emperor's voice!

Han Jue was astonished. What happened?

He hadn't seen any notification that the Heavenly Emperor was severely injured, so it wasn't good for him to contact the Heavenly Emperor directly. What if the Heavenly Emperor was currently in battle?

Han Jue couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Just how much sin had the Demon Race committed for the biggest scapegoat of the world to be dumped onto them?

He knew that Zu Tu was not a member of the Demon Race, but was formerly the Vice Sect Master of the Jie Sect.

However, there were many traitors in the Jie Sect. The current Zu Tu might not be of one mind with the Jie Sect, and might even be mortal enemies.

Asking for monthly votes at the start of the month, and wishing the motherland to grow stronger and more prosperous!
