Chapter 397: Zhou Fan’s Unyieldingness, Opportunity and Crisis

Fang Liang as the next Heavenly Emperor?

What's going on!

Wasn't it the Great Divine General?

Han Jue was greatly surprised; things were far beyond his expectations.

If Fang Liang became the Heavenly Emperor, it would be even harder for the Hidden Gate and the Heavenly Court to sever their ties.

Did the Heavenly Emperor want to set him up?

The Heavenly Emperor said, "The Heavenly Court needs a new Heavenly Emperor, preferably a weak Puppet who can make other forces lower their guard. I will retreat behind the scenes and continue to support the Heavenly Court. The reason the Heavenly Court has always faced internal and external troubles is precisely because I have always been in the spotlight."

You only realized that now!

Han Jue really wanted to complain, but he held back.

He asked in confusion, "You're only abdicating; how can the enemies relax?"

"I will fake my death."

"At whose hands?"

An ominous feeling rose in Han Jue's heart.

"The Dark Forbidden Master!"

Han Jue almost cursed out loud.

Why is it me again!

Am I a professional scapegoat?

Han Jue suppressed his indignation and asked, "Won't this benefit the Dark Forbidden Master? Too many mighty figures have died at his hands."

"I intend to promote the Dark Forbidden Master!"

The Heavenly Emperor's tone was full of pride, leaving Han Jue speechless.

Han Jue didn't dare speak up for the Dark Forbidden Master for fear of exposing himself, so he could only acquiesce.

The Heavenly Emperor said, "I'm telling you this to put your mind at ease, so you won't worry after hearing of my fall."

"I understand. Be careful, Your Majesty."

"Mhm."

The Divine Thought was cut off.

Han Jue put down the heavenly dao token and fell into endless worry.

He didn't want to enter the calamity, but fate always seemed to dictate otherwise.

Although Han Jue was cautious, even timid, he would never show mercy to anyone who threatened his life.

Jade Emperor Zhou Yan was preparing to massacre the world, which would inevitably threaten Han Jue.

Although Han Jue had already hidden in the Dark Forbidden Zone, his disciples and Dao Companions were still in the Immortal Realm. Furthermore, if the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms were gone, who could guarantee that Jade Emperor Zhou Yan wouldn't set his sights on the Dark Forbidden Zone?

After slaughtering all beings, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's Dao Cultivation would surely increase. With the entire heavenly dao fortune pouring into him, how could he not be strong?

I must kill Jade Emperor Zhou Yan!

Han Jue's gaze became firm.

But before that, I must first attain the Zenith Heaven realm!

Han Jue closed his eyes and continued to Cultivate… In the dim and mysterious Universe, a giant sun burned fiercely. On the surface of the sun, there was a figure, as tiny as a grain of sand, bound by chains and unable to break free.

This person was Zhou Fan. He was naked, his muscles bulging and his Face contorted in agony as he endured suffering unimaginable to ordinary people.

Di Lantian's voice suddenly rang out, "Have you thought it through?"

Zhou Fan roared, "Screw you! I will never submit to you!"

Di Lantian laughed mockingly, "Killing you is simple; I could kill you with a single breath. Your fate has been full of hardships. Are you truly willing to give up everything you've worked so hard for?"

Zhou Fan's eyes were bloodshot as he cursed, "What the hell do you know! I'm fighting for my dignity!"

Di Lantian fell silent.

At this moment, the True Sun Fire on the Sun Star intensified, burning Zhou Fan frantically and making him howl in pain.

There was no fear in Zhou Fan's eyes, only endless rage.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of Han Jue at this moment.

If it were Han Jue, would he submit?

No!

Han Jue was a very steadfast person!

In the past, no one could shake Han Jue's will. He used to think Han Jue was just timid, but later, when the immortals descended to the Mortal Realm to purge it and Han Jue stepped forward, he finally understood something.

Han Jue was never timid; he just had his own ideas!

"I can't let him look down on me. I still want to surpass him!"

Zhou Fan thought through gritted teeth. Strange red patterns appeared on the surface of his body, and he actually began to absorb the True Sun Fire… Time flew by.

Forty years passed.

Han Jue had been in Seclusion, striving for the Six Profound Divine Origin realm.

Until this day.

"Dark Forbidden Master, you cursed the Heavenly Court and plotted against me. I am willing to curse you with the Heavenly Emperor's fortune, even if I have to perish myself!"

The Heavenly Emperor's voice suddenly rang out, his tone filled with rage.

Han Jue couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

What a great actor.

He then saw a piece of mail.

[Your friend, the Heavenly Emperor, has perished, his body and Dao destroyed. Fortunately, a trace of his Divine Soul remains in a supreme treasure.]

A big shot is indeed a big shot, deceiving everyone.

Han Jue guessed that golden rain was probably falling in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms again, the phenomenon of a Zenith Heaven's fall.

Soon, Han Jue saw another piece of mail.

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang has become the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court. He has obtained the Heavenly Emperor's fortune and received an infusion of heavenly dao merit.]

He really became the Heavenly Emperor!

Han Jue's feelings were complicated; he never expected the next Heavenly Emperor to be Fang Liang.

In his view, it should have been either the Great Divine General or Hao Tian.

Could it be that the Great Divine General was severely injured not long ago?

Han Jue didn't think much more about it. After confirming that the Heavenly Emperor's icon was still there, he continued to Cultivate.

At the same time.

The people of the Hidden Gate were also discussing this matter.

The fall of the Heavenly Emperor was too significant, and it also involved the Dark Forbidden Master.

"Is this Dark Forbidden Master too strong? He's taking on the entire Immortal Realm by himself?" the Black Prison Chicken cried out.

Murong Qi sighed, "The Heavenly Emperor was very strong. The Dark Forbidden Master is indeed not simple."

Li Yao asked, "Could he be acting? Trying to avoid danger?"

Chu Shiren said, "Unlikely. If he acted like this, the Heavenly Court's fortune would also be damaged. Isn't he afraid of enemies kicking them while they're down?"

Others were also discussing, with opinions divided… Han Jue was determined to Cultivate, so he didn't pay attention to the movements in the Immortal Realm, nor did he send a Dream Message to Fang Liang.

Fang Liang's refusal to return had already shown his will.

Even if Fang Liang died outside, Han Jue wouldn't care.

He didn't owe Fang Liang anything; on the contrary, the person he had saved the most was Fang Liang, who was more troublesome than a woman.

Without Han Jue's intervention, Fang Liang would have died countless times already.

About seventeen years passed.

While Cultivating, Han Jue was suddenly stirred. Someone was summoning him from the Chaos Domain.

After thinking about it, Han Jue decided to go and see the Dao Supreme.

It's been years; could he be offering another Opportunity?

Arriving at the pitch-black Chaos Domain, Han Jue saw the figure of the Dao Supreme. Neither could see the other clearly.

Besides the Dao Supreme, there was another figure.

Hm?

A newcomer?

The Dao Supreme said, "This is a Fellow Daoist from the Human Race who has just awakened the Chaos Physique."

Han Jue sized up the figure, unable to tell if it was male or female, nor could he see their true Face.

Han Jue nodded slightly but didn't say much.

This Human Race Prodigy also seemed to be a person of few words and didn't speak.

"This time…" the Dao Supreme began.

"It's not another Opportunity, is it?"

Han Jue interrupted and asked.

The Dao Supreme was embarrassed.

Han Jue's eyelid twitched. It really was?

He immediately exited the Chaos Domain.

The Dao Supreme fell silent.

The Human Race Prodigy couldn't help but say, "He doesn't give you any Face at all? Who is he? He's too arrogant!"

The Dao Supreme coughed dryly and said, "I looked for him twice before, and he refused both times. In the end, I even had to rely on him to escape. He thinks my opportunities are all crises."

The Human Race Prodigy fell silent.

After a long time.

The Human Race Prodigy said, "Sorry, Brother Dao, I'm not going either."

The Dao Supreme: "…"

He coughed dryly and said, "There won't be any danger this time."

"What if there is?"

"We can rely on the Chaos Domain to have that Fellow Daoist from just now save us."

"Are you serious?"
