Chapter 415 The Evil Dark Forbidden Master

"Greetings, Grandmaster."

Chu Shiren knelt down and bowed respectfully, showing none of the demeanor of a Buddha.

Han Jue asked with a smile, "What brings you here?"

Chu Shiren looked up at Han Jue, secretly startled.

Is he really just a new Grand Unity Golden Immortal?

The aura Han Jue exuded felt stronger to him than those of veteran Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

Furthermore, after entering the Innate Cave Abode, he had felt a constant sense of dread, as if some evil entity was watching him from the shadows, ready to pounce on him at any moment. This indescribable feeling made his heart uneasy.

This feeling made Chu Shiren even more awestruck by Han Jue.

Chu Shiren composed himself and said softly, "Grandmaster, could you teach me some great Divine Abilities?"

In the most recent Centennial Competition, he discovered that his Divine Abilities were inferior to those of Li Yao, Tu Linger, and the others.

In his past life, he was a noble Buddha; he had studied Buddhist teachings, and while his cultivation was profound, his Divine Abilities were lacking.

Compared to the Divine Abilities Han Jue taught, the ones he had mastered were vastly inferior.

Han Jue smiled and said, "Once you attain the Immortal Emperor Realm, I will teach you supreme Divine Abilities."

Chu Shiren looked up and asked, "Really?"

"Yes, I have always had high expectations for you."

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

After paying his respects, Chu Shiren hurriedly left.

Han Jue glared at the Weird Spirit beside him; the creature had been lurking near Chu Shiren the whole time, clearly making him very uncomfortable.

Han Jue was quite pleased with Chu Shiren's changes.

If not for their differing philosophies, this fellow would likely have become the strongest among the five great Buddhas.

After Chu Shiren left, Han Jue continued his cultivation.

The Weird Spirit lay on his back.

Ever since it helped Han Jue attain the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, the Weird Spirit had frequently helped him absorb Karma. With its assistance, Han Jue's absorption speed far exceeded what he could achieve by cultivating alone.

Not only that, but the Weird Spirit was also growing stronger.

Not long ago, Han Jue had a Simulation Trial with it, and this fellow already possessed the combat power of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

However, it was still quite ignorant; it had no flashy Divine Abilities in battle, relying instead on straightforward, clumsy attacks.

Han Jue and the Weird Spirit seemed to have achieved a strange state of symbiosis.

In this symbiotic state, the stronger Han Jue became, the stronger the Weird Spirit became, yet Han Jue retained complete control over the Weird Spirit's life and death.

It was as if…

Han Jue inexplicably thought of the Xuanhuan novels he had read in his past life. Martial Spirits?

Quite interesting!

With the Weird Spirit around, Han Jue would effectively have a Clone in future battles, not to mention the Three Thousand Demon Gods Dharma Idol.

One man, an army?

Han Jue's heart surged with excitement.

He was determined to be invincible within his own Realm; this was true for the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, and it would remain so after he Attain the Dao!

…

Time flew by.

Fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Jue maintained his frequency of cursing once every ten years. Jade Emperor Zhou Yan was miraculously fine, but he hadn't been causing any trouble lately either.

The Immortal Realm had been incredibly harmonious recently, so harmonious that Han Jue even thought the Great Tribulation had ended.

Until he saw a piece of mail.

[Your Grand-disciple Fang Liang received the Legacy of your enemy, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan, and his Dao Cultivation has greatly increased.]

What the hell?

Did Fang Liang defect to the enemy?

Or did Jade Emperor Zhou Yan bow down in submission?

Han Jue wanted to use the Evolution Function to find out, but on second thought, it wasn't necessary.

In any case, the ending of the Great Tribulation had already changed. Jade Emperor Zhou Yan couldn't possibly have the last laugh, so why should he care about his current situation?

With a six-star hatred degree, he had to be cursed to death regardless, to prevent future trouble!

"I cannot give him a chance to rise again or clear his name."

Han Jue thought silently. His cultivation had grown quite a bit recently, so it was a good time to squander some lifespan to celebrate.

He shut the Weird Spirit into the thirty-sixth grade samsara world-ending black lotus and then took out the book of misfortune to curse Jade Emperor Zhou Yan.

Five days later.

Han Jue's lifespan began to plummet.

…

In the Immortal Realm, on the Ninth Heaven, inside the Imperial Garden.

Fang Liang, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan, and Great Nine Heavens were sitting around a stone table. Great Nine Heavens had revealed his true form; he looked like a scholar, yet his physique was incredibly burly.

"I have only one request: spare the Heavenly Emperor," Fang Liang said.

Jade Emperor Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "He was already faking his death; I didn't torture him. He is doing just fine right now. If you are worried, I can arrange for you to meet him."

Fang Liang nodded slowly.

He looked at Great Nine Heavens and asked, "Can you represent the Chan School?"

Great Nine Heavens replied, "Naturally. The rise of the Human Race is unstoppable. The outcome of this Great Tribulation is already clear; it will inevitably be a war between humans and gods. Other Saints of the Human Race have already seized the initiative, and the Heavenly Court is a force supported by the Dao Sect. We have no other choice."

Fang Liang's eyes flickered, his heart filled with turmoil.

After all, he was also of Human Race origin.

Great Nine Heavens continued, "With the two of us assisting His Majesty, the Heavenly Court will surely be powerful. If the Human Race wins, how do you think they will treat the Heavenly Court? The Heavenly Court can tolerate the Human Race, but the Human Race cannot tolerate us."

Fang Liang frowned. This was very realistic, and it was also a fact.

He had drifted through the human world and knew the evil nature of humanity.

If the Human Race defeated the Heavenly Court, Immortals and gods would cease to exist. Even if they survived, it would be a miserable existence.

If Immortals and gods were reduced to slavery for the Human Race, could they still be considered Immortals and gods?

"If the Heavenly Court wins, it will gain great Luck. With His Majesty in charge, the Human Race will still have a glimmer of hope," Great Nine Heavens continued to persuade him.

Fang Liang sighed. Even though he knew the other party had ulterior motives, he could not refuse.

The current Heavenly Court was not what it used to be. Various forces in the Immortal Realm were overthrowing the rule of Immortals and gods. If things continued like this, even without encountering strong enemies, the Heavenly Court would exist in name only.

As the Heavenly Emperor, Fang Liang had to take action.

Just as Fang Liang was hesitating, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan suddenly coughed up blood, which instantly reduced the stone table to ash, startling Fang Liang into jumping back.

Jade Emperor Zhou Yan hurriedly sat in meditation, using his power to suppress the potent curse force.

Great Nine Heavens frowned and asked, "Is it the Dark Forbidden Master again?"

Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's face was pale as he replied, "Who else could it be but him?"

His tone was full of helplessness; he no longer even felt anger.

Because he had gotten used to it.

Fang Liang asked, "Can the Chan School not calculate who the Dark Forbidden Master is?"

Great Nine Heavens and Jade Emperor Zhou Yan remained silent.

That's right!

Even Saints could not calculate it!

This was the most terrifying part.

Jade Emperor Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel despair in his heart.

Being entangled by the Dark Forbidden Master like this, perhaps one day, he would meet his doom.

Suddenly!

A much stronger wave of curse force struck. Jade Emperor Zhou Yan's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Quick, use your Dharma power to help me suppress my Dao Fruit!"

Upon hearing this, Great Nine Heavens flashed behind Jade Emperor Zhou Yan and pressed his palm against his back.

Soon, even Great Nine Heavens could not help but be moved.

He had never been cursed by the Dark Forbidden Master, so he had always been skeptical.

Was the Dark Forbidden Master's curse really that terrifying?

Now that he felt it…

So strong!

"That guy is definitely using his lifespan to curse. Could it be that he is sacrificing the lives of countless living beings, which is why it happens once every ten years?"

Great Nine Heavens frowned as he thought this, and the more he thought about it, the more he believed it to be true.

What a Dark Forbidden Master!

Truly heinous and unforgivable!

The Dark Forbidden Master became evil and cruel in Great Nine Heavens' mind.

Fang Liang watched from the side. Noticing the change in their expressions, a thought occurred to him.

Could these two be at their wit's end and trying to deceive him?
