Chapter 659: Challenging the Dark Lord [Third update, asking for monthly votes]

Karma Bead… a Great Dao supreme treasure!

Han Jue suddenly understood; no wonder the Divine Realm of Guixu dared to invade the Heavenly Dao after the Dark Lord made his move!

They were prepared!

Even Chaos Gods and Zhunti didn't possess such a supreme treasure, so how did Peacock Divine Lord acquire it?

Does this fellow have an even stronger backer?

Han Jue continued to evolve.

[A deduction of 160 billion years of lifespan is required. Do you wish to continue?]

Continue!

[Primordial Heavenly Venerate: Great Dao Saint, Immeasurable Emperor, founder of the Chan School. He harbors hatred towards you for preventing the Dark Saint from destroying the Heavenly Dao. Current hatred level is 2 stars.]

It's him?

Han Jue frowned, still very confused.

The Karma Bead is more valuable than the Primordial Heavenly Venerate himself. Would the Primordial Heavenly Venerate be willing to give this treasure to the Peacock Divine Lord?

It's likely the Karma Bead is the Peacock Divine Lord's own magic treasure.

To possess such a magic treasure and not have it contested by Great Dao Saints, the Peacock Divine Lord is quite a talent.

Han Jue wanted to test the Peacock Divine Lord.

He directly used the Dark Nightmare, facing the Peacock Divine Lord in the image of the Dark Lord.

The dream took place above the Yellow Springs, with the two of them suspended in the air.

The Peacock Divine Lord wore luxurious brocade robes and a seven-colored feathered cloak. He had a handsome face, and his crown was inlaid with a peacock's head, giving him a majestic and powerful aura. His eyes, in particular, were sharp and held a cold gleam.

He stared at Han Jue and asked, “Who are you, sir? What an incredible divine ability, to draw me directly into a dream without my notice.”

Han Jue asked, “You are also extraordinary, possessing a supreme treasure that can block curses.”

The Peacock Divine Lord narrowed his eyes and said, “The Dark Lord!”

Han Jue did not object; he had intended to reveal himself.

He had checked the Peacock Divine Lord's information, and there was no mention of the Chan School. Coupled with the fact that he possessed a supreme treasure that even the Primordial Heavenly Venerate didn't have, he might have only been invited by the Primordial Heavenly Venerate.

“I am very interested in you. You can even curse Chaos Gods to death. Your appearance has broken the long-standing stability of Chaos. Come out and fight me!” the Peacock Divine Lord said with fiery eyes.

Han Jue said mockingly, “Are you a match for a Chaos God?”

“I challenged one and lost.”

“Then why do you dare to challenge me?”

“I just like challenging strong opponents!”

The Peacock Divine Lord's eyes burned, and a powerful aura erupted, causing the dream to twist violently.

Han Jue asked, “Why do you serve the Primordial Heavenly Venerate?”

The Peacock Divine Lord said, “I am not serving him. My purpose in coming this time is merely to kick the Heavenly Dao while it's down.”

Kicking it while it's down?

Han Jue didn't expect the Peacock Divine Lord to be so direct.

The Peacock Divine Lord sneered, “All living beings in Chaos originate from the Heavenly Dao, and so do I. But after the Dao Ancestor achieved enlightenment, he ruled the Heavenly Dao, monopolized the Saint positions, and all Saints became his disciples. Future Saints also followed the Dao Sect's lineage. Even if beings had extraordinary talent and immense luck, they were suppressed by the Dao Ancestor.”

“After the Dao Ancestor merged with the Dao, he became equivalent to the Heavenly Dao itself. Through successive Heavenly Dao tribulations, he drove us Quasi-Saints out of the Heavenly Dao, forcing us to struggle for survival in Chaos. He controls the Heavenly Dao in this way, preventing it from ever escaping the Dao Sect. Over time, even the Saints became dissatisfied.”

“While I am grateful for your guidance, there's no need to serve you for all eternity, is there? The reason for destroying the Heavenly Dao now is to create a new Heavenly Dao. The Primordial Heavenly Venerate convinced me, so I came. I know why he sought me out—because I am not afraid of curses.”

The Peacock Divine Lord stared at Han Jue, his eyes growing more excited, even somewhat fanatical.

Han Jue couldn't stand that look.

This fellow was too confident!

However, the Peacock Divine Lord's words gave Han Jue a different perspective on the Dao Ancestor.

It had to be said, the Dao Ancestor was indeed a bit overbearing.

If Han Jue were those Saints, always beneath the Dao Ancestor, he wouldn't be able to stand it either.

Han Jue thought of the Hidden Sect. The Dao Ancestor's abandonment by his followers was a warning.

But thankfully, the Hidden Sect itself had no territory or interests for its disciples to contend over.

Compared to the Dao Ancestor, Han Jue's desire for power was very low. He rarely asked his disciples to do things for him, nor did he restrict their development.

The Peacock Divine Lord snorted, “Dark Lord, come on, fight me! I want to see how strong you are!”

“The gap in our realms is too great. You can't be my opponent. You're not even worth me showing my face.”

“If that's the case, why did you send me a dream?”

The Peacock Divine Lord sneered.

Han Jue asked, “What exactly are you pursuing?”

He had a strand of Great Dao Purple Qi in his hand, which could transform someone into a Chaos Fiendcelestial. This was his bargaining chip.

The Peacock Divine Lord laughed, “You want to recruit me?”

“Is it truly impossible?”

“Many people want to recruit me. Even the Dao Ancestor wanted to recruit me back then, but I refused them all. Because of this, I will never have the chance to attain the Great Dao.”

“What if I can help you attain the Great Dao?”

While the Peacock Divine Lord was still sneering, Han Jue's words made him freeze.

Han Jue was not in a hurry, waiting patiently.

He couldn't help but call up the Peacock Divine Lord's information again.

[Peacock Divine Lord: Free Saint Perfection, Immeasurable Emperor, Demon Saint of the Demon Race, Inheritor of Great Dao Divine Abilities]

Inheritor of Great Dao Divine Abilities!

Could he be Kong Xuan from the Investiture of the Gods?

Is this divine ability the Five-Colored Divine Light?

In the Investiture of the Gods, Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light could even trip up Saints.

“Hmph, defeat me first! Let me prove my talent to you!”

The Peacock Divine Lord suddenly said, and the surrounding dream shattered like a broken mirror.

He forcibly broke out of the dream!

Inside the Daoist temple, Han Jue opened his eyes.

[Peacock Divine Lord has developed a favorable impression of you. Current favorability is 3 stars.]

Han Jue initially thought the Peacock Divine Lord was acting out of shame and anger, but he didn't expect to gain favor.

Is this tsundere?

Han Jue did not immediately go out to challenge the Peacock Divine Lord, as that would expose his connection to the Dark Lord.

However, the dream just now also revealed that the Peacock Divine Lord and the Primordial Heavenly Venerate were not completely bound together.

Continue cultivating.

After breaking through to the late stage of Free Primordial Chaos, Han Jue felt that he should be able to instantly kill the Peacock Divine Lord.

Han Jue still had that much confidence.

You, Peacock Divine Lord, claim to have unparalleled talent, but can you compare to a Primordial Fiendcelestial?

…Dark Forbidden Zone.

Han Tuo and Yitian led tens of thousands of Heavenly Court immortals and gods, rapidly moving through space.

Now, Han Tuo and Yitian had undergone a complete transformation, exuding the aura of powerful individuals that was visible to the naked eye. They wore battle armor, their cloaks fluttering, looking majestic and awe-inspiring.

Han Tuo's eyes were sharp as he said, “We are getting closer to the Heavenly Dao. Be ready for battle at any moment!”

“Kill any Calamity Clan members you see!”

Tens of thousands of Heavenly Court immortals and gods behind them softly assented.

These immortals and gods were all recruited by the Evil Heavenly Emperor from various minor Heavenly Daos. Their cultivation was at least that of a Grand Unity True Immortal, and their foundations were extremely strong.

Han Tuo and Yitian were even powerful experts who dominated the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.

Yitian suddenly laughed and said, “It's been a long time since we returned to the Heavenly Dao. If we succeed, shouldn't the Heavenly Dao Saints thank us?”

Han Tuo shook his head and said, “You're thinking too much. Our Heavenly Court is only here to contain the Calamity Clan; we won't play too big a role.”

Yitian chuckled, “It's fine. We have a Free Great Power following us. I wonder where His Majesty convinced him from. Tsk tsk, that aura is truly terrifying.”
