Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 304: Chapter 303 King of Darkness

“King of Darkness?”

Upon hearing Black Wuchang’s words, Long Lie’s expression turned icy cold, “A trivial matter like this also warrants calling the King of Darkness?”

“A person who escapes their Destiny, not a single one has appeared in a hundred million years, do you think this is a trivial matter?” Black Wuchang coldly snorted.

“How dare you speak to me like this? Do you know who I am?”

Long Lie’s gaze suddenly shifted, landing on Black Wuchang, and within his eyes, a terrifying killing intent was revealed.

“The junior did not mean to offend the senior, but I only wish to inform the senior of the seriousness of the situation. The King of Darkness will soon appear, and making a scene here in the Netherworld is futile for you,” he said.

...

As Black Wuchang spoke, he seemed to have the backing of the King of Darkness, clearly no longer as fearful as before.

“Don’t use the King of Darkness to pressure me. If I want to kill you, even the King of Darkness can’t stop me!”

Long Lie waved his hand mightily, unleashing a terrifying Palm Radiance that stretched thousands of kilometers in length, enveloping the skies like a dark cloud, and covering Black Wuchang completely.

But at that moment, a figure suddenly materialized in the void in front of Black Wuchang.

This was a middle-aged man, with seven red dots on his brow, which seemed to be slowly rotating, profound as the stars at a glance.

The man was extremely handsome, yet within that handsomeness there was a bizarre and sinister contradiction.

Even Lian Yuze and others, upon their first glance at him, found him handsome, but on the second, they felt he was utterly hideous.

“Boom!”

As the man appeared, the waters of the Yellow River exploded, countless arms stretching out from it along with wails and cries emanating forth.

“King of Darkness, spare us, mercy!!!”

“I don’t want to enter the Yellow Springs, I just wish to enter the Reincarnation Cycle and live again!”

“The King of Darkness descends upon the Netherworld. We beg for a general amnesty!”

These arms seemed to be struggling fiercely, belonging to those who were once very powerful in life, and who had not yet been completely incinerated by the Yellow Spring Water, with a strong desire for survival in their hearts.

Meng Po bowed her head, Black and White Impermanence knelt to the ground, and countless people wielding Red Whips prostrated themselves.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, those illusory figures felt a shudder from deep within their spirits, halting their steps and watching quietly.

“Long Lie, you are the number one talent of the Holy Domain. Arguing with Black and White Impermanence here seems a bit petty, doesn’t it?”

The middle-aged man stood there calmly, the corners of his mouth curled with a smile as if in jest.

“They should be grateful they’re your people; otherwise, they would have returned to the Yellow Springs by now,” he said.

Long Lie sneered, and with a shake of his hand, the Palm Radiance that spanned thousands of kilometers dissipated with a roar.

“So should I thank you then?” the middle-aged man laughed.

This person was none other than the Controller of the Netherworld and Hell—the King of Darkness!

The entire world, including the Holy Domain within it, could be termed as the ‘Black and White World.’

In the white part of the world, where the living reside, its Sovereign is the Holy Lord.

In the black part of the world, where the dead roam, the Sovereign is the King of Darkness!

In terms of status and identity, the King of Darkness is no less than the Holy Lord; as for Cultivation Base and power, only the Holy Lord could contend with him.

“Is this the Ruler of the Netherworld, the King of Darkness who controls the lands of the dead?” Lian Yuze and the others watched in shock.

If they hadn’t followed Long Lie and Su Han here, they probably would never have had the chance to see the true face of the King of Darkness, not even in death.

“Reporting to the King of Darkness!”

Black and White Wuchang knelt on the ground, simultaneously saying, “A person who escapes Destiny has entered the Netherworld and Hell. Please, King of Darkness, capture them!”

“You are seeking death!”

Upon hearing this, Long Lie’s expression turned extremely cold.

The King of Darkness slightly shook his head, looked towards Black and White Impermanence, and said calmly, “Capture him? Do you know who this person, who has escaped destiny, really is?”

“If my guess is correct, it is this man!”

Black and White Impermanence pointed at Su Han at the same time. They could feel from the Book of Life and Death that the one who had escaped destiny was indeed Su Han.

“It is indeed him, but what I’m referring to is his true identity,” said the King of Darkness.

Black and White Impermanence instantly fell silent. They were not the King of Darkness, lacking his vast knowledge and strength. How could they know who Su Han really was?

Seeing that both were silent, the King of Darkness’s gaze turned and finally rested on Su Han.

A sigh escaped from the King of Darkness, and he and Su Han locked eyes for a long time. Finally, he spoke up.

“Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, how have you been…”

“What?!”

The moment the King of Darkness’s words fell, Black and White Impermanence suddenly looked up, feeling as if their hearts were about to explode.

Their breathing quickened, and their faces were filled with disbelief. Staring at Su Han, their eyes were filled with intense shock!

“Demon… Demon Dragon… Ancient Emperor?!”

The two of them stuttered as they spoke, simultaneously glancing at each other, able to see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

“King of Darkness, how have you been,” Su Han said calmly.

His words made Black and White Impermanence’s hair stand on end and their scalps tingle.

Clearly, Su Han was admitting that he was indeed the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor.

If it weren’t for the King of Darkness’s explanation, they would never believe it just based on Su Han’s word alone.

But with the King of Darkness’s cultivation base and knowledge, how could he be mistaken about a person?

“It really is the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor…”

Both of them took a deep breath and retreated several steps involuntarily, not daring to look at Su Han any longer.

A joke, how could they not know who the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor was?

He was truly the Sovereign of the Holy Domain, a personage akin to a Divine Spirit!

Throughout his life of cultivation, his exploits became legendary, with a single finger able to shatter planets, a palm able to split Star Regions!

Recently, news of the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor’s death had been circulating. Black and White Impermanence had been wondering why the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor hadn’t entered the Netherworld. Could it be that his soul had dissipated?

Now they finally understood. It was not that the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor’s soul had dissipated, but rather… he had escaped Destiny!

“Truly worthy of being the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor…”

Black and White Impermanence took a deep breath and muttered to themselves, “A person who escapes Destiny, one in a billion years, it could only be him, who managed to accomplish it.”

“Meng Po, pays respects to the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor.”

The Meng Po, who had always displayed a strange smile, now collected her smile and slightly bowed, addressing Su Han.

“We all, pay respects to the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor!”

All those holding Red Whips made an effort to bow as well.

They did not kneel, because the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor’s rules did not allow them to kneel when paying respects.

But to show their reverence, while standing, their heads were almost touching the ground.

The scene at this moment was incredibly shocking and astonishing.

All those Illusion Bodies were watching incredulously. Most of them had never heard of the name Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor, and naturally could not imagine why even Black and White Impermanence, even Meng Po, even these people holding Red Whips, were paying such respectful homage.

“I am no longer the Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor.”

Su Han slightly raised his eyes, calmly sweeping his gaze around and said indifferently, “Now, I am simply called Su Han.”
