394: Chapter 394 Refining the Demon-Suppressing Prison! A Deal with the Lord of Darkness?

In the depths of the dark and silent Demon Suppressing Prison, upon a pitch-black throne, sat a woman dressed in a black dress with skin as white as jade.

Her eyes were tightly closed, yet she still emitted a terrifying pressure that stood on par with the heavens and earth, appearing extremely formidable within this Demon Suppressing Prison.

Gu Han took a step forward and arrived before the throne. With a thought, he activated the Black Tortoise Immortal Suppressing Art, and the surrounding Yi Mo Qi immediately surged toward him like a landslide or tsunami, transforming into a trickle of power for his own cultivation.

The Lord of Darkness, sitting on the throne, felt the pressure of refining the Yi Mo suddenly decrease by several fold, and she subconsciously opened her eyes, which had been asleep for thousands, perhaps even tens of thousands of years.

Her pupils were pitch black, as dark as stars, yet they seemed to contain infinite emotions.

An aura, terrifying enough to rival that of Hun Tiandi back then, rapidly permeated outward, enveloping the entire Demon Suppressing Prison.

In an instant, countless towers of darkness emitted strange sounds, and some Yi Mo that had been roaring previously now let out sounds of trembling and fear.

The Lord of Darkness possessed immense majesty.

"Who are you?"

The petite figure sitting on the throne blinked her beautiful eyes; the cold and black tones caused the entire Demon Suppressing Prison to lose its color.

"Greetings, Lord of Darkness."

Excluding the Otherworld Demon Emperor in the Seal and Ying Huanhuan, who had not yet awakened her Reincarnation imprint, this Lord of Darkness before him could be considered the strongest person Gu Han had ever seen.

Even Hun Tiandi, Zhu Kun, and the others were inferior to her; this was a difference caused by the plane's upper limits and suppression.

In terms of Realm alone, the Lord of Darkness could currently rival a Ninth Grade Supreme.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu Han, Hall Master of Xuanwu Hall, and I come from another Lower Plane that has been invaded by the Extraterritorial Evil Clan."

Hearing this, the Lord of Darkness frowned slightly: "Extraterritorial Evil Clan? Lower Plane?"

"It seems the Symbol Ancestor did not tell you; perhaps only the Master of Life and Death and the Ice Master know something about it." Gu Han was not surprised; instead, he patiently began to introduce it to the Lord of Darkness.

The Major Thousand Worlds, the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, the Yi Mo, the Lower Planes, the cultivation system of the Major Thousand Worlds, and so on.

"The Yimo Clan is just a small branch of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan; they cannot even be considered a major clan."

"The Symbol Ancestor came from the Major Thousand Worlds and was not a native Cultivator of the Tian Xuan Continent."

"The Symbol Ancestor came to this plane wanting to find power that would help him Breakthrough to the Heavenly Supreme in the future."

"The Otherworld Demon Emperor led people to invade here with a purpose similar to the Symbol Ancestor's, seeking an Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Devil Emperor."

"Your current cultivation is at the Peak of the third level of the Samsara Realm, which is equivalent to the Ninth Grade Supreme Realm, but this is not the correct path of Cultivation."

"To step into a Realm comparable to the Earth Supreme, one needs to fuse the Power of Taishang..."

After finishing his explanation, Gu Han smiled slightly: "I came to the Tian Xuan Continent, on one hand, because as a living being of the Major Thousand Worlds, I have a responsibility to eradicate the Yimo Clan."

"On the other hand, just like the Symbol Ancestor, I have come to seek an Opportunity to Breakthrough to the Heavenly Supreme."

The expression on the Lord of Darkness's face flickered.

She was pondering the veracity of Gu Han's words.

Feeling the situation where Yi Mo were constantly perishing and being devoured by Gu Han, she seemed to have no choice but to believe him.

This Demon Suppressing Prison, which she had suppressed for nearly ten thousand years, was originally expected to take another hundred years to be completely cleared, but under Gu Han's methods, it seemed it could be resolved in just a few days.

"You came to find me; is there something you need?" the Lord of Darkness asked.

"Indeed, there is." Gu Han waved his hand, taking out the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Ice Ancestral Symbol, Fire Ancestral Symbol, Thunder Ancestral Symbol, and Great Desolation Ancestral Symbol, letting them fly around him: "I intend to gather all eight Ancestral Symbols."

"The Darkness Ancestral Symbol is inherited in the Hall of Darkness, and I would like to ask you, as its founder, to help me retrieve it."

Ripples appeared in the Lord of Darkness's pitch-black eyes.

Except for her teacher, this was the first time she had seen someone simultaneously control multiple Ancestral Symbols.

Even the Master of Devouring, who had always competed with Junior Sister back then, had only controlled three Ancestral Symbols at the same time.

"You ask me to help you, and I will?" The Lord of Darkness scoffed: "Although you are very powerful and kill Yi Mo, from a certain perspective you can be considered an ally, but if you want me to help you, empty words alone won't do."

"I know where the Symbol Ancestor's Reincarnation is," Gu Han said.

"What!?" The Lord of Darkness widened her eyes.

The hazy black mist around her body instantly dissipated, revealing her complete figure.

She was wearing a slender black battle armor, and her long, pitch-black hair cascaded down like a waterfall. Her face was exquisite, like a delicate jade doll, and her pair of eyes were so purely black that they made one feel mesmerized and luminous.

An ordinary person, seeing such a petite and exquisite woman, would never be able to associate her with the Lord of Darkness.

"You know the whereabouts of my teacher?" the Lord of Darkness asked with an urgent tone.

From her current situation, it was known that in the ancient war back then, the eight Ancient Masters each suffered damage, and she was the one with the least damage.

She remembered clearly that her teacher had sacrificed himself to Seal the Otherworld Demon Emperor, burning his Reincarnation; he definitely could not have survived.

Before her teacher died, he left a message: to save this world, one must possess a second person at the Ancestral Realm.

In her heart, she felt that if this world could still produce a second Ancestral Realm, it would only be Junior Sister.

Now, Gu Han was telling her that her teacher was not dead.

"The Symbol Ancestor did indeed die, but his True Spirit did not dissipate, and his Soul imprint is still there; he has completely entered Reincarnation."

Gu Han condensed an ice throne opposite the Lord of Darkness and sat down, signaling her to calm down, and explained the situation to her: "The Symbol Ancestor's sacrifice ultimately moved the Spirit of this plane, so it protected a wisp of his True Spirit for Reincarnation."

"It is not the kind of Reincarnation where one can remember their past and present lives, or even inherit power; rather, it is a Rebirth where one completely bids farewell to the past and becomes a new person."

"But that person's Soul is indeed the same as your teacher's, and he also possesses an affinity for the ancestor stone."

While speaking, Gu Han also took out the ancestor stone and the great desolation monument.

The Lord of Darkness: "..."

Is this person trying to gather all nine Divine Objects and eight Ancestral Symbols?

Seeming to see through the Lord of Darkness's thoughts, Gu Han said: "That's right, I intend to gather all nine Divine Objects and eight Ancestral Symbols, and when the time comes, set up a great formation to help me Breakthrough to the Earth Supreme."

"Once I step into the Earth Supreme level, I can use the sealing array left by your teacher to completely resolve the Otherworld Demon Emperor, which can also be considered avenging him."

"You tell me the whereabouts of my teacher's Reincarnation, and I will retrieve the Darkness Ancestral Symbol for you?" The Lord of Darkness had a decisive and swift personality and directly asked Gu Han if he wanted to make a deal.

"I can tell you the whereabouts of the Symbol Ancestor's Reincarnation directly: in Qingyang Town of the Great Yan Dynasty in the Eastern Xuan Region. He is currently thirteen years old, and his name is Lin Dong. I have prepared a gift for him; the artifact spirit of the ancestor stone, Yan, has been stripped out by me and is following by his side."

Hearing this, the Lord of Darkness was somewhat surprised: "You tell me just like that; aren't you afraid I will break my promise?"

"I am not afraid." Gu Han shook his head gently: "The Darkness Ancestral Symbol, I just don't want to snatch it; it's not that I can't. You should be able to see that clearly."

"Besides, the Ice Master is in my hands."

The Lord of Darkness: ???
