431: Chapter 431 Suppressing the Nine Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor! The Name of Dragon and Phoenix

"Open!"

Gu Han looked at the mountains floating in the sky ahead. His gaze suddenly solidified, turning into black and white beams of light that shot into one of the mountain bodies.

Following this, the high mountain began to shatter, transforming into a huge plaza. Looking around, there was only one figure in the very center.

That was a figure that seemed to stand between heaven and earth, holding a primitive-looking crystal sword that appeared as if it had never been sharpened.

This sword was inserted into a massive, pitch-black head that emitted an evil aura.

"Tsk."

Gu Han used the Black Tortoise Step and instantly arrived in front of that figure with Mandala.

"So, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor was ultimately the one who had the upper hand?" A smile appeared on Mandala's delicate little face.

"No." Gu Han gave a negative answer and raised his hand to release the eight ancestor glazed heavenly tower.

This heavenly tower directly shrouded the phantom of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor and the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's sword.

The next moment, terrifying energy of heaven and earth poured out, suppressing this phantom.

Ancestor Futu, Spear Ancestor, Ancestor Tailin, and Ancestor Qingtian received the summons and immediately channeled their Divine Soul power to assist the plane embryo.

The power of the eight ancestor glazed heavenly tower reached the Saint Grade level, and terrifying power of heaven and earth appeared, mobilizing all the power within the Ancient Heavenly Palace that belonged to the Major Thousand Worlds.

"Scoundrel!"

The Ancient Heavenly Emperor's phantom shattered instantly, turning into an evil figure shrouded in black mist.

"What is going on!?" Mandala's expression changed drastically, and she had not yet reacted.

"It is exactly the situation you see." Gu Han channeled his full power to bolster the eight ancestor glazed heavenly tower, while simultaneously operating the Black Tortoise Immortal Suppressing Art: "In the end, it was actually the Ancient Heavenly Emperor who was slightly inferior. Although the Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor was suppressed by his sword, a significant amount of residual power remained."

"He used his own Devilish Qi to illusion his body into the figure of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, and transformed the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's head into his own head."

"If the Ancient Heavenly Palace were to open in the future and unaware descendants found this place, they would certainly help the Ancient Heavenly Emperor deal with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan."

"The result would actually be helping the Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor escape, causing the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's final Seal to be destroyed."

"But all of this cannot deceive me."

Following Gu Han's explanation, the power of the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's sword and the eight ancestor glazed heavenly tower connected, and the power left behind by the Ancient Heavenly Emperor was fully awakened, suppressing the resisting Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor.

"Who are you? How could you know so many things?" The Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor roared: "My layout was flawless, and it was achieved by sacrificing a heart. How could an ant like you, who hasn't even reached the Saint Grade, possibly know!"

The Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor was a Heavenly Demon Emperor of the Devouring Demon Clan. In order to pursue a higher Domain and power, the strongest Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor combined with eight other Devil Emperors to become the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.

The Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor possessed nine hearts, representing that he had nine lives.

The Ancient Heavenly Emperor's strength was indeed powerful, and he mastered top-tier peerless Divine Abilities such as One Qi Transforming into Three Purities. He managed to kill six of the Devouring Heavenly Demon Emperor's hearts and sealed his remaining three hearts. If a Heavenly Supreme expert from the Major Thousand Worlds arrived first in the future, they could completely eliminate the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor.

However, the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor's methods were not inferior. When he was sealed, he chose to sacrifice a heart to perform a disguise, while also secretly corrupting the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's mount, the Ancient Blood Jiao, Lu Heng.

Once the Ancient Heavenly Palace reopened, with Lu Heng as a mole, he could help him obtain flesh and blood and regain his freedom.

Everything was planned very well, but it was broken by the variable that was Gu Han.

"No matter how flawless the layout is, it is nothing before me." Gu Han sat cross-legged and fully channeled the eight ancestor glazed heavenly tower: "The strength you can exert now is that of an Early Stage Heavenly Demon Emperor, but you have two lives, equivalent to two Early Stage Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereigns. It just so happens that you can help me break through to the Saint Grade."

"Refine!"

The eight ancestor glazed heavenly tower, in cooperation with the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's sword, suppressed the Nine-Corpse Heavenly Demon Emperor. The next step was a slow process of refining and absorption.

After finishing all this, Gu Han looked at the golden head that the Ancient Heavenly Emperor had transformed back into and said: "Senior Ancient Heavenly Emperor, would you like to live another life?"

The Ancient Heavenly Emperor's remnant Soul phantom appeared, with surprise in his eyes: "Listening to what you mean, little friend, you can help this Emperor resurrect?"

"I cannot fully resurrect you yet, but I can allow your Soul to continue to exist until I have the strength to help you resurrect." Gu Han detailed his Xuanwu Seven Constellations Nether Art Divine Ability, as well as the situation regarding Realms above the Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign.

Upon learning that above the Saint-Rank Heavenly Sovereign was the Wen Ding Realm, and above the Wen Ding Realm was the Control Realm, as well as information about worlds outside the Major Thousand Worlds, the Ancient Heavenly Emperor's original open-minded attitude of wanting to welcome his fall changed. He spoke directly: "Then I will trouble you, little friend. My name is Chu Fan, and I am willing to live another life, no longer as the Heavenly Emperor."

Chu Fan intended to hand over everything in the Ancient Heavenly Palace to Gu Han.

As for himself, from now on, he would no longer be the Heavenly Emperor, but a Cultivator of Xuanwu Hall who pursued the Control Realm, or even Realms beyond the Major Thousand Worlds.

Status and identity would all be decided by Gu Han.

"Senior, you shouldn't mind handing over the method of cultivating the Eternal Immortal Body and One Qi Transforming into Three Purities to Mandala, right?"

Gu Han cast the Xuanwu Seven Constellations Nether Art on Chu Fan to help him stabilize his remnant Soul into a ghost Soul, and then asked.

"Of course." Chu Fan looked at Mandala and smiled: "Mandala is my daughter. Since the Hall Master is not interested, it is good to hand the Legacy to her. She is indeed the most suitable for my Legacy, whether it is the Eternal Immortal Body or One Qi Transforming into Three Purities."

"There is also the power Legacy I left in the Lingxiao Palace, which can also be handed to her. It will just help her break through to the level of touching the Heavenly Supreme."

It is good that Chu Fan was so straightforward. Gu Han intended to let Mandala walk the path originally intended for Mu Chen.

However, Mu Chen had to refine five Primordial Dharma Bodies to break through to the Control Realm faster.

Mandala only needed to Cultivate the Eternal Immortal Body.

"Mandala, go and fuse with your true body, and then break through."

Time flies like an arrow, years pass like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed in the Major Thousand Worlds.

This year, there was suddenly no news of Gu Han coming from the Demon Domain.

But everyone knew that Gu Han was fine, just because the name at the very top of the Demon Slayer Monument flickered with golden light from time to time.

This meant that Gu Han was still slaying demons, and at the Devil Emperor level, he just wasn't continuing to operate within the Demon Domain.

It was also in this year that a major event happened in the Divine Beast Sea. The True Dragon Clan and the True Phoenix Clan suddenly went to war, and the True Huang Clan did not stand idly by, but instead chose to help the True Dragon Clan, which shocked countless people and Divine Beast families.

Everyone did not understand why this happened.

In the end, it was the well-informed Heavenly Secret Pavilion that announced the reason.

It turned out that a Dragon Phoenix had appeared in the world.

It was not the Dragon Phoenix who was once famous in the Major Thousand Worlds and had commanded the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, and countless Divine Beast families.

But the Taixu Dragon Phoenix from the Lower Plane, whose own Bloodline was only equivalent to the royal Bloodline of the True Dragon or True Phoenix Clan.

But this Taixu Dragon Phoenix had obtained some kind of Opportunity, and its Bloodline had leaped again, already approaching the Major Thousand Worlds Dragon Phoenix.

The experts of the True Dragon Clan immediately issued an invitation after encountering this Taixu Dragon Phoenix.

The experts of the True Phoenix Clan also discovered the Taixu Dragon Phoenix at this time, and without a word, they wanted to capture it.
