Chapter 124 | True Dark Forbidden Lord

Han Jue didn't need a lot of time to traverse the Chaos, with just a thought, he appeared at the Creation Emperor Court.

Creation Emperor Court was a major force recently established in Chaos by Han Ling, Han Jue's favorite daughter.

The Creation Emperor Court had long surpassed the Heavenly Court of the Evil Heavenly Emperor in terms of strength and wouldn't be long before it becomes the supreme power of the Chaotic World.

Han Ling was a Perfected Great Dao Supreme meaning her strength was at the peak of Chaos and was more powerful than those of the same realm.

Han Huang, who was currently a hot topic in the vast Chaos, was the only one capable of rivaling her strength.

Of course, the minuscule strength of these juniors could only pale in front of a Dao Creator.

The difference between a Dao Creator and Great Dao Supreme was like Heaven and Earth, a bottomless chasm separated the might of those two.

Even Han Jue, a legendary figure known to be invincible by the living beings of Chaos, could not cross realms and fight a Dao Creator as a Great Dao Supreme.

***

Inside the Creation Emperor Court, seated on the high seat befitting of an Emperor, was a devastatingly beautiful woman.

She had a purple pattern between her brows that made her womanly charm unquestionable.

Her looks were quite similar to Han Jue's.

She was Han Ling, the Leader of the Creation Emperor Court.

Han Ling was busy handling some plans concerning the recruitment of more prodigies into her camp to expand their overall strength and influence.

Recently, there haven't been any geniuses that interested her in the slightest.

Well, it was understandable since the Han Family was already brimming with monsters of heaven-defying battle talents.

As a holder of Innate Great Creation, her expectations were pretty much huge per see.

"You look busy, Ling'er." A warm voice interrupted her out of nowhere.

A surprised expression appeared on her beautiful face.

She knew that voice very well as if it was a part of herself.

It was her father's.

The dignified posture that she was previously assuming crumbled and what was now left was just a daughter.

She hurriedly rose from her seat and elegantly descended to hug the newly arrived Han Jue.

After a moment of warm pleasantries between father and daughter, Han Ling couldn't help but want to ask what made her father pay her a surprise visit.

She knew very well how Han Jue was obsessed with cultivation and could stay secluded in his Daoist temple for millions of years without stopping.

After she had been born, she dedicated herself to cultivation, following the footsteps of Han Jue.

Her patience and diligence were top-notch.

But she knew she was ultimately not Han Jue and when she had felt a bottleneck during her later cultivation realm, she chose to follow her own path.

Everyone had their own Dao Path and as a person blessed with Innate Imperial Authority, she had to act like a domineering emperor.

Still, she was the only one among Han Jue's children who had accompanied him for a long.

"If I may ask, father, what made you visit me all of a sudden?" Han Ling curiously asked while looking at Han Jue who was as handsome as always.

She had wanted to add that it was very unlike him to step out of the Dao Field but she stopped herself.

But who was Han Jue? A Dao Creator.

He could easily know what she was thinking.

Han Jue smiled at her daughter, "Let's take a seat first before we talk."

"Sorry." Han Ling apologized with an embarrassed face before leading Han Jue to a seat befitting her father and sitting beside him.

She had a few guesses about the cause of Han Jue's unexpected arrival.

Ultimate Origin Cultivation Potential?

The Ultimate Origin Cultivation Potential had a similar aura to Han Jue's and she knew very well that it was connected to him.

But those were only guesses.

She wanted to listen to what her father would say.

Han Jue didn't beat around the bush and decided to ask Han Ling about 'that' matter.

"Have you thought about starting a family and continuing the Han Bloodline?" Han Jue was embarrassed when asking this question.

Han Ling's beautiful eyes widened and a healthy blush adorned her cheeks.

She was also embarrassed by what her father asked.

Talks about marriage were always embarrassing and awkward especially when it was between a father and daughter.

Han Ling shook her head shyly. "You know very well how your daughter is heavily focused on Cultivation just like you."

She didn't behave like a dignified empress in front of he father.

She was just like a bashful daughter.

She then pouted cutely at Han Jue. "Could it be that you are teasing me, father? If it is then you have ultimately succeeded."

Han Jue smiled at Han Ling awkwardly. "I know."

'It seems Han Ling isn't in love with anyone or similarly interested in relationships,' Han Jue thought to himself.

Then why did the system irresponsibly lie to him?

At least he had now confirmed that Ling'er didn't have any possible Dao Companion.

Then he asked casually, "Are there any good seedlings that you have recently recruited?"

Han Ling also became composed and replied coolly, "No, I haven't discovered any noteworthy talent."

She didn't mention the Ultimate Origin Fiendcelestial, a being born from the Ultimate Origin Cultivation Potential.

Since it was something that stemmed from her father, she knew that Han Jue might already have some knowledge about it.

Han Jue wasn't surprised by Han Ling's reply.

Unmatched talents weren't collectibles that could easily be found just anywhere like common trash.

After that Han Jue stayed and chatted with his daughter for 100 years before returning to his Daoist temple.

After he left, a complicated look appeared on Han Ling's face.

Was it a woman's intuition or a daughter's intuition?

She felt that there might be something troubling her father but she couldn't just put a finger on what it was.

After some time, she shook her head and her cherry lips curved mesmerizingly. 'Father is all-powerful, I just know that there isn't anything that he can't handle in the long term.'

Yeah, she just had to have confidence in her father as always.

Even if by lucky chance, she found what the problem was, she wouldn't have been able to help him in any way.

She then sighed before continuing her Imperial duties.

She was completely oblivious to the fact that her fate and providence were going to change!

***

Han Jue sat comfortably inside his Daoist temple and decided to curse someone to ease his stress.

If the Mystical Book Of Destiny wasn't in a cool-down period, he would have opted to use it and alter destiny.

It was at this time that he really wanted to see the destiny of all living beings.

Something was not right, and he couldn't ignore his instincts in the slightest.

26 million years, huh?

He just had to wait for 26 million years to read the flow of destiny of all living beings.

In the meantime, Ninth Chaos, Oh Ninth Chaos...

He will be an outlet for all his recent pent-up stress.

Han Jue took out the Upgraded Book of Misfortune which was now an Ultimate Supreme Dao Treasure.

He traced his slender fingers along the hardcover of the ominous book before speaking in a smitten way, "I always ran back to you, baby."

The relationship he shared with the Book of Misfortune was deep and unfathomable.

It was his closest friend and danger nullifier!

"Ahem, let's start cussing."

His lifespan started decreasing rapidly but he didn't care.

He immersed himself fully into the "Zone", a state where he was one with the Book of Misfortune!

The outside world didn't matter.

1 quadrillion years...

20 quadrillion years...

He only stopped when he heard a system prompt.

[Your good friend Ninth Chaos has suffered from Heart Demons after your relentless cursing]

[His cultivation progress has completely halted]

Han Jue felt satisfied and stopped using the Book of Misfortune.

He felt that that was enough to bring some trouble to Ninth Chaos.

Unless he became a Sovereign, Ninth Chaos would continue being his prime target.

Even though the Perfected Dao Creator Realm was a far cry from him, hundreds of million years of seclusion were the actual remedy.

Han Jue was just about to start some serious cultivation when he felt himself being cursed.

[You have been inflicted by a mysterious curse. Your lifespan has decreased]

Who was crazy enough to curse him?

Han Jue pinched the bridge of his nose to deduce the karma of the culprit.

But what he found made him astounded.

Su Qi?

When did Su Qi become so powerful?

He remembered turning Su Qi into a chaotic Fiendcelestial but when did his own creation become this powerful without him noticing?!

There must have been a conspiracy happening without even him knowing!

[You have been afflicted with a mysterious curse. 100 trillion of your lifespan have been lost]

Han Jue didn't leave immediately to deal with this troublesome disciple of his and decided to suppress the curse effects first.

1 million years later, he succeeded.

It was good that the curses weren't extremely strong enough to affect his cultivation realm and only chipped away at his lifespan.

Han Jue decided to try to send a dream to his unfilial disciple, Su Qi.

He could have easily used the Dark Forbidden Lord's nightmare mystical art to forcefully pull Su Qi's consciousness into a dream but he was obstructed by a mysterious force again!

Very strange, indeed!

What could have happened to his long-forgotten disciple?!

How long has it been since he talked with him?

Time was really...

Han Jue didn't forget to prepare himself for any inevitabilities.

'Will I face any danger when I meet Su Qi in the Dream World?' He asked the system.

[No]

He heaved a sigh of relief before crossing into the Dream.

In the Dream, Han Jue came face to face with a mysterious figure covered in complete darkness.

It was as if he was the Primal Embodiment of Darkness itself.

Han Jue couldn't see his face but he knew that it was Su Qi.

He tried to do an information analysis on him but ultimately failed.

Did he have an Ultimate Supreme Dao Treasure that could block karma?!

Su Qi also looked back at him.

Normally, he would stare at his master in awe but currently...

He felt nothing.

"Why are you cursing your own master, Su Qi?" Han Jue asked angrily.

Su Qi laughed wickedly like an incarnation of evil.

Sound came from him though he didn't have a physical body.

The enigmatic shadowy Su Qi then glared at Han Jue and said apathetically. "Dear Master, I am now as strong as you!"

"From today henceforth, I am...The True Dark Forbidden Lord!"

Those were the last words that Han Jue heard before the Dream shattered and he returned to reality.

Tumultuous times were about to descend into the Chaotic World!

Was the Great Dao Immeasurable Calamity about to occur or was it something else entirely?

What was happening?!

The God of Misfortunes was now the King of Curses!
