Chapter 441: Darkness Shrouds the Heavens, Dark Forbidden Lord Appears

Chapter 441: Darkness Shrouds the Heavens, Dark Forbidden Lord Appears

Hearing Han Jue's vow, the Heavenly Emperor frowned and said, "There's no need to make such a toxic oath. There is a fixed number in the dark, so be careful of bringing misfortune upon yourself with your words."

Han Jue said solemnly, "I know, I am telling the truth."

Anyway, I don't want to become a Heavenly Dao Saint either!

I want to bypass the Heavenly Dao and attain the Saint fruit status of complete Freedom and no restrictions!

The Heavenly Emperor was secretly puzzled.

Could it be that I really thought too much?

He understood Han Jue's personality; this kid only had the goal of Cultivate, how could he possibly cut off his own future?

Could it be that Han Jue really has nothing to do with the Dark Forbidden Lord?

The Heavenly Emperor's suspicions about Han Jue vanished into thin air.

If the Dark Forbidden Lord had nothing to do with Han Jue, then the Dark Forbidden Lord must have set his sights on Han Jue!

The Heavenly Emperor reminded, "Then you must also be careful of the Dark Forbidden Lord. This person's background is mysterious, and his intentions are difficult to fathom."

Han Jue said, "I understand. I have also heard of his deeds. Could he be arranged by a Sai… Saint?"

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head and said, "Do not fathom it, and do not trust any Saint. Right now, I am already a thorn in the Saints' side. If not for the fact that I belong to the True Dragon Clan and the Dao Ancestor's lineage, I am afraid the Saints would have already made a move against me."

Han Jue nodded.

The two continued to chat idly. The Heavenly Emperor spoke of his recent experiences without hiding anything, recounting his situation one by one.

Listening to this, Han Jue felt a pang of heartache. Once upon a time, the Heavenly Emperor was also the spirited Lord of the Heavenly Court, the Emperor of all gods, high above, how majestic was he?

In just a single tribulation, the Heavenly Emperor was reduced to being treated like a street rat.

The Heavenly Emperor was still fine, but look at the Demon Emperor, Heavenly Dao Buddha Ancestor, Zu Tu, Jade Emperor Zhou Yan, and others—all of them were formidable heroes who had fallen, lamentable and pitiful.

Han Jue gained a deeper understanding of the two words "Tribulation".

As long as one wanted to fight for supremacy, one had to enter the tribulation.

Entering the tribulation, blessings and misfortunes were unknown.

If blessed, one would soar straight up into the sky, living as long as the heaven and earth.

If cursed, both body and Soul would be destroyed, never to rise again.

The Heavenly Emperor raised his eyes to look at Han Jue, his gaze burning as he said, "Han Jue, everything I could do for you, I have done. I do not ask for your repayment; I only ask that you return this grace to the Heavenly Court. If in the next tribulation, the Heavenly Court faces the danger of extinction, I hope you can lend a helping hand and save the Heavenly Court."

Han Jue asked, "What if the Heavenly Court cannot survive this tribulation?"

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head and said, "It won't. I have an agreement with the various Saints. Regardless of success or failure, at least the Heavenly Court will be preserved during this tribulation."

Han Jue replied, "Alright, I promise you. If I have the ability, I will definitely help."

Before the next tribulation, Han Jue might have already succeeded in Attain the Dao, and protecting the Heavenly Court should not be a difficult task.

Of course, if it truly could not be protected, then there was nothing that could be done.

"My Dao field can isolate Inauspicious Evil Spirits. Are you willing to come?" Han Jue asked.

The Heavenly Emperor shook his head and said, "I won't trouble you. I must fight; I cannot stop. Thank you for your kind intentions. It hasn't been in vain that I treated you so well."

Han Jue asked, "Then your children…"

"Pay no attention to them. Everyone has their own destiny. I have long since chosen respective backers for them; even if the Heavenly Court falls, they will still be safe and sound."

"Very well."

The two chatted for a little longer.

After ending the dream, Han Jue's consciousness returned to reality.

He did not calculate the Heavenly Emperor's future. Nowadays, Saints controlled the lives of all living beings in the world; surely Han Jue couldn't curse a Saint, right?

Not to mention it would be like scraping away dust, it might even attract the attention of the Saints.

Saints observed the heavens, and finding the person who cursed them was not impossible.

Han Jue suddenly remembered his cheap subordinates, Blood Nether River and Lord Jingtian.

It was time to look for them.

Han Jue decided to pull both of them into a dream together to let them meet. However, before that, he still needed to deduce to ensure there were no powerful beings by their sides.

Consuming a total of one billion years of lifespan, Han Jue only felt relieved after confirming there were no powerful beings around the two.

Dark Nightmare, cast!

Han Jue pulled the two into a dim cavern. This setting was very fitting for the atmosphere of the Dark Forbidden Lord's schemes.

As soon as Blood Nether River and Lord Jingtian saw the Dark Forbidden Lord, they hurriedly knelt and saluted.

They were both very excited.

They had finally waited for the Dark Forbidden Lord to look for them!

Blood Nether River asked first, "Forbidden Lord, the tribulation is becoming clear. There will definitely be a winner between the Human Race and the Heavenly Court. Are we still supporting the Heavenly Court?"

Lord Jingtian also stared closely at Han Jue.

Han Jue asked, "Do you two have your own plots?"

Blood Nether River and Lord Jingtian exchanged glances. They had long been in secret communication and were both followers of the Dark Forbidden Lord, so naturally, they would help each other out.

The alliance between the Jie Sect and the Darkness Cult allowed both sides to gain massive benefits.

Blood Nether River said, "The Saints have entered the tribulation; we only want to protect ourselves."

Lord Jingtian nodded.

They had both supported the Heavenly Court and fought against the Human Race. Facing the formidable strength of Fu Xi Tian, their ambitions had been shattered, and they only wanted to protect themselves.

Han Jue said, "If you want to protect yourselves, it depends on yourselves. Do not be controlled by killing intent."

Blood Nether River frowned.

Lord Jingtian asked, "Forbidden Lord, when will you appear? Do you have a method to deal with the Saints?"

Blood Nether River nodded.

They were both looking forward to Han Jue making a move.

They believed in one thing: the Dark Forbidden Lord was definitely a Saint!

At the very least, even Saints could not find him.

Han Jue's heart beat wildly.

Appear?

What are you guys thinking?

I certainly don't want to enter the tribulation!

Han Jue put on a profound air and said, "When darkness shrouds the heavens, that will be the time when the Dark Forbidden Lord appears. That will also be the time when the Dark Forbidden Lord controls everything. The current tribulation does not belong to me; the true calamity has only just begun. You all wait patiently. Since you sincerely follow me, when I manifest in the world, I certainly will not treat you unfairly."

Blood Nether River and Lord Jingtian instantly became excited.

Although the Dark Forbidden Lord was making empty promises, summoning both of them at the same time clearly meant he had instructions to give.

Darkness shrouds the heavens!

Just thinking about that scene made their hearts surge with emotion.

The Dark Forbidden Lord had ambition!

Lord Jingtian asked, "Then should we continue following the Heavenly Court for now?"

Han Jue said, "Follow them, but do not go all out, nor stand by with folded arms. Regardless of who wins or loses this tribulation, the victor will suffer heavy losses. Next will be the fight among the Saints; very soon, the Human Race and the Heavenly Court will step down from the stage."

The two nodded, for they had also caught a glimpse of this omen.

Han Jue said no more and waved his sleeve to end the dream.

Inside the Innate Cave Mansion.

Han Jue opened his eyes. As for Blood Nether River and Lord Jingtian, he didn't actually value them all that much; he merely cared for them slightly.

After all, the reason these two admired him was also because they wanted to fight for Luck.

"Continue to Cultivate and break through to the Late Stage."

Han Jue perked up and thought silently.

…

Time flew by, and the Dark Forbidden Zone remained in eternal silence.

About thirty-seven years passed.

Rumble— —

Hidden Sect Island shook violently.

Han Jue opened his eyes, thinking that Inauspicious Evil Spirits were attacking once again. Immediately afterward, he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure confronting his Soul directly.

Before this pressure, even he, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, instinctively felt fear.

It was not Inauspicious Evil Spirits!

Han Jue subconsciously checked the powerful enemies around him.

[Fu Xi Tian: cultivation unknown, Heavenly Dao Saint, Human Race Heavenly Emperor]

[Antarctic Celestial Venerable: cultivation unknown, Heavenly Dao Saint, Chan Sect Leader]

Saints fighting?

Han Jue was almost scared to death and hurriedly manipulated Hidden Sect Island to stay away from this place.
