255: Chapter 255 The Emperor's Banner is Completed, the Demon Queen Submits!

"Good stuff! And to think the first soul collected by this human emperor banner is actually that of Nine Nether Demon Emperor!"

Gu Changsheng was in a great mood.

He put away the human emperor banner, and his aura shifted once again, reverting to that cold, black-robed Guest Elder, "Moyuan".

He did not linger in the cell, but turned and walked straight towards the main hall where Ling Hanshang was located.

Since the play had finished, it was time to show his hand to this Demon Queen.

When Gu Changsheng, dressed in white, walked into the deep main hall with his hands behind his back, revealing his true identity as the Holy Son of Daoxuan.

Ling Hanshang, who was closing her eyes and adjusting her breath on the Phoenix platform, suddenly opened her eyes!

The moment she saw the person who had arrived, her expression changed drastically!

"It's you?!"

She stood up from her throne almost instinctively. The terrifying pressure of the Guixu Realm, mixed with the overbearing aura unique to the Heavenly Demon Divine Body, swept towards Gu Changsheng like a tsunami!

"Moyuan is you?!"

Ling Hanshang's phoenix eyes were filled with shock and anger.

"You snuck into my Netherworld Demon Sect, what exactly is your intention?!"

Facing the terrifying pressure that was enough to crush a mountain range into powder, Gu Changsheng walked as if he were strolling in a leisurely courtyard, unaffected in the slightest.

He calmly met Ling Hanshang's murderous gaze and spoke indifferently.

"The matter of Ji Hanchuan was a trap I set."

"That quasi-Devil Emperor remnant soul attempted to control you with the Mind-Bewildering Demon Gu, seize your Heavenly Demon Origin, and ultimately refine you into his cauldron."

Gu Changsheng stated the facts in a calm tone.

"If I hadn't intervened, you would likely have already become his Puppet, with your Divine Soul destroyed."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, tossing the remains of the Gu insect, which he had killed with Chaos Qi, in front of Ling Hanshang.

Looking at the Gu insect at her feet that was emitting a strange aura, Ling Hanshang's expression was uncertain.

With her insight, she could naturally see the viciousness of this Gu insect.

The anger in her heart subsided slightly, but the look she gave Gu Changsheng remained full of vigilance and hostility.

"Even if you saved me, that is not a reason for you to use deception to sneak into my Demon Sect!"

Ling Hanshang's voice remained cold.

"I will never tolerate any deception or betrayal!"

Before she finished speaking, the purple-black Devilish Qi behind her surged violently like boiling water, clearly preparing to make a Move.

"Then I will fight until you submit."

Gu Changsheng did not show the slightest intention of backing down. Meeting that monstrous Devilish Qi, the supreme pressure belonging to his Myriad Laws Realm Immortal Platform was released with a bang!

Two completely different, terrifying auras collided fiercely in the vast main hall!

"Boom!"

Ling Hanshang made the first Move!

The Heavenly Demon manifestation behind her let out a silent roar, and a purple giant palm that blotted out the sky, carrying an aura of destruction, slammed down towards Gu Changsheng!

Gu Changsheng did not dodge or avoid it; he also raised his right hand and punched out!

There were no flashy Moves, no brilliant special effects.

It was just a simple punch.

But within this punch, it contained the charm of the Immortal Dao and a supreme power that transcended the Laws of this world!

Fist and palm collided!

"Crack!"

That arrogant Heavenly Demon manifestation was actually shattered by Gu Changsheng's punch, starting from the palm, cracking inch by inch, and finally collapsing with a bang!

Ling Hanshang was struck as if by a heavy blow, staggering back a few steps uncontrollably. Her blood surged in her chest, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Her face was filled with disbelief.

"You... you are only in the Myriad Laws Realm! How is this possible..."

She was a powerhouse in the Early Stage of the Guixu Realm! And she possessed the rare Heavenly Demon Divine Body!

To think... to think she was pushed back in one Move by a Cultivator of the Myriad Laws Realm?!

This completely subverted her understanding!

"There is always someone better than the best."

Gu Changsheng slowly withdrew his fist, his tone indifferent.

"Realm never represents true strength."

"Your Heavenly Demon Divine Body is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, the Cultivation Technique you Cultivate is an incomplete version, which greatly limits your potential."

He struck again. This time, he pointed his fingers like a sword, and a grey Sword Qi containing the aura of Chaos tore through the Void Realm, aiming straight for Ling Hanshang's glabella.

Ling Hanshang's expression changed. She quickly formed seals with her hands in front of her chest, and a black shield condensed from pure Devilish Qi blocked in front of her.

The Sword Qi collided with the shield, and the shield shattered in response.

Ling Hanshang was pushed back again, and the luxurious purple-black phoenix robe on her body was sliced with three tiny cracks by the sharp Sword Qi.

For the third Move, Gu Changsheng didn't even Move.

He just stood in place, releasing the pressure of his Immortal Dao Divine Platform without reservation.

That pressure, which transcended the mortal world and carried a trace of celestial Qi, was like an invisible shackle, tightly imprisoning Ling Hanshang in place, making her unable to Move even a single finger.

Three Moves.

Only three Moves.

The outcome was decided.

Ling Hanshang stood in place, her chest heaving violently. Looking at the young man in white before her, her eyes were extremely complex.

Shock, frustration, unwillingness, and... a trace of fear that she didn't even want to admit.

This man was too terrifying.

He wasn't a human at all, but a complete monster!

Gu Changsheng withdrew his pressure and took out a Jade Slip he had prepared long ago from his sleeve, tossing it over casually.

"Inside this is the complete version of the 'Nine Nether Prison-Suppressing Demonic Art', from the first level to the ninth level. It has three more levels than the incomplete version you have."

Ling Hanshang instinctively reached out to catch the Jade Slip, and her Divine Sense probed into it.

After just one look, her hands began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

It was real!

This really was the complete version of the 'Nine Nether Prison-Suppressing Demonic Art'!

Those problems of Devilish Qi backlash that had plagued her for thousands of years, making her suffer agonizing pain every time she made a Breakthrough, were solved in the face of this complete Cultivation Technique formula!

She suddenly looked up at Gu Changsheng, and complex emotions surged wildly in her beautiful phoenix eyes.

This man first saved her life, then crushed her with absolute strength, and now, he had given her a supreme Cultivation Technique she had dreamed of...

What on earth did he want to do?

"I don't need your Netherworld Demon Sect to change its surname to Gu."

Gu Changsheng seemed to see through her thoughts and turned around. His white clothes fluttered in the swirling Devilish Qi, making him appear so outstanding.

"But from today on, the Netherworld Demon Sect is my ally."

"Do you accept this condition, or not?"

Ling Hanshang was silent.

She looked at the Jade Slip in her hand, then at the aloof back, her heart torn by an internal struggle.

After a long while.

She slowly closed her eyes, as if she had made an extremely difficult decision, and finally, she spat out two words from her throat.

"I... accept."
