Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 1181 Is He Hades True Immortal?

“These are their corpses. Their sources have been absorbed by the Origin-devouring Method. They all died in the hands of Hades True Immortal,” the Sword Master said. “I’m sure that when they were alive, they had dark seeds planted in their bodies, so they were unconsciously infiltrated by the dark power. It was not easy to detect those dark seeds at the beginning. Later, even if they were aware, they could do nothing. Gradually, their minds would be controlled by the dark power and they would completely degenerate.”

Ding Hao’s figure shook.

He immediately recalled that the little dolphin, Adorable, also had a dark seed planted in his body. Fortunately, he was a descendant of a True God, so his source had not been completely devoured. Before the dark seed had fully matured, it had been discovered and was killed. That was why Adorable was lucky enough to survive. But even so, Adorable had lost his memory and his bloodline had almost been destroyed.

“This is the parasitic method of Hades True Immortal. Since the Immortal Period, he has been parasitic on others’ bodies in every generation. It’s like possessing someone’s body. He has been doing this so that he can enjoy endless life. Unfortunately, even the bodies of the peerless experts will eventually age, so he has to constantly change the bodies he uses, just like a cicada shedding its shell!” The Sword Master continued, “In the past when he stirred up trouble in the Immortal Period, countless immortals suffered this disaster. For a period, the dark power from Hades True Immortal targeted my master, but my master was an amazing figure through the ages. He buried a destructive divine sword in his body. Once the dark power invaded his body, the divine sword would automatically kill him. He would rather destroy his own body than turn into a ghost. He gave up on his life.”

“That’s right. Back then, some people were unable to resist the temptation of the power of Hades True Immortal and took the initiative to carry the dark seeds. This was because once the dark seed was planted in their bodies, their strength would increase greatly. It was even to the extent that for a very long time, this power would belong to them. It would last until the day when Hades True Immortal needed their bodies, and they would have to sacrifice everything…” The Saber Master added, “This is one of the magical powers that Hades True Immortal used to stir up trouble back then. Countless people were obsessed with power, and some people chose to make deals with him in order to take revenge. There were even some people who had many objectives and were willing to sacrifice their bodies. Of course, Hades True Immortal had set the bar quite high, and only those who truly possessed potential and natural endowments would be able to receive his favor.”

When Ding Hao heard this, he realized something, but he was somehow unwilling to believe it.

He didn’t want to believe that the Old God Emperor had chosen to make a deal with Hades True Immortal because he was obsessed with power.

Although the memories of his childhood were already extremely blurred, he could still vaguely recall some scenes of the Old God Emperor’s caring for him.

Since the young man back then was the same person as he was now, these memories belonged to his real self. Ding Hao had imagined various reasons before. It was very likely that the Old God Emperor had some kind of forced difficulties, so he attacked Ding Shengtan. However, what the Saber Master and the Sword Master meant was that the Old God Emperor fell into the darkness and became a vassal of Hades True Immortal.

“The past is gone. Bury them,” Ding Hao took a deep breath and said calmly.

He did not tell the Giant Ape King and others about what the Saber Master and the Sword Master had said.

Everything was in the past.

It was better to have these past kings return to dust and ashes so that their previous good and bad deeds should be buried.

The Great Ape King and the others sighed and were furious. In the end, they could only nod.

These three bodies had been infiltrated thoroughly by the dark power. Back then, they were the shells of Hades True Immortal. Although he had abandoned them at this time, they still carried his terrifying aura and great killing intent. If it were in the outside world, the masters below the Celestial Realm would be instantly killed when they got within a thousand miles of these three bodies. They had become ominous beings and could not be brought back to their clans to be buried.

A ball of golden fire appeared in Ding Hao’s palm. He was about to burn the three dark remains, but at this moment-

“Who is it?”

“Who’s that?”

Ding Hao and the others suddenly became alert. Some kind of power came at an extremely fast speed, which alerted the crowd in an instant. The speed was so fast that it was shocking. At the moment when Ding Hao and the others reacted, suddenly with a bang, a figure was tossed from the darkness in front of them and fell to the ground hard.

Ding Hao took a closer look and found that it was the Feather Emperor.

Not long ago, this superior immortal expert’s body was surrounded by chains of dark power as thick as a finger, which trapped him. Almost all his wings had been cut off, and his hair was in a mess. He looked extremely embarrassed and had become a prisoner. His face was full of anger.

However, the thin black chains, like some Immortal-Binding Ropes, completely trapped him. Even the Feather Emperor had stunning strength, he could not break free. Moreover, the more he struggled, the tighter the black chains tightened. In the blink of an eye, a few of his wings were broken.

These black chains of the dark power were indeed terrifying.

“Is this trash your companion?”

A voice, which seemed to come from the depths of hell, came from the dense dark power in the distance. With the appearance of this voice, there was also the dark power that made people break down and suffocate. It surged like a sea and drowned Ding Hao and the others in an instant.

Everyone’s expression changed in an instant.

The dark power was so powerful. Could it be that Hades True Immortal had appeared?

As Ding Hao shouted, the Yin and Yang Pisces Diagram expanded and instantly surrounded everyone, isolating them from the oppression of the dark power.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Heavy footsteps sounded one after another as if there was a giant beast coming step by step, and the whole small world of the burial ground of the immortals was shaking.

Everyone was on high alert and gathering their magic skills.

The sticky dark power in front of them suddenly rolled like boiling water, and then a ball of black flame came out of it. It was a really burning black flame with an extremely high temperature, like a burning torch, making crackling sounds.

It was the frightening dark flame.

In this cluster of black flame, a void throne was looming. A humanoid creature was sitting on it, and there was a scarlet light in its single eye. It was as if it could instantly dissolve a person’s soul.

It was an incomparably terrifying being.

The moment he appeared, Ding Hao and the others had the illusion of being stared at by Death.

Could it be that this was Hades True Immortal?

Everyone secretly gasped. This monarch of darkness seemed to be more terrible than they had imagined. “Shouldn’t he be in a weak state at this time? Why is the aura flowing out of him so horrible? I’m afraid that he is more terrifyingly powerful than everyone combined.”

“Is this fowlman one of your companions?” The same question sounded again.

The sound was like two whetstones rubbing against each other, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

“No. We’re here to chase after him,” Ding Hao slowly said.

“I see…” said the figure on the black flame throne. He seemed to be thinking about something. The next moment, he snapped his fingers, and the black chains wrapped around the Feather Emperor suddenly contracted. Before everyone could understand what had happened, they heard a scream. The Feather Emperor was directly strangled into dozens of pieces and died in an instant.

Normally, immortals could be reborn even if they were smashed to pieces.

However, the black chains instantly absorbed the essence of the Feather Emperor’s corpse and even swallowed his divine soul. A master in the Celestial Realm of the Feather Clan was killed like a pig being slaughtered.

The smell of blood rose to the sky.

The figure on the black flame throne waved his hand, and the black chains returned to his hand. They contained the essence of the Feather Emperor and all of them entered his body. The black flame around him became even brighter.

“This is… the method of devouring the Origin. It’s even more advanced than the Feather Emperor’s.” Ding Hao was stunned and immediately understood. He immediately guessed that it was very likely that the Feather Emperor’s method of killing the new immortals and devouring the Origin had been taught by this person.

Ding Hao’s eyes flickered as he glanced over. He saw the man’s true face through the darkness.

However, he was a little shocked.

Because behind the black flame, this human-shaped creature was indeed a human, but he only had one arm, half a leg, one eye, and one ear. He had no nose. His left leg, left arm, and right shank were gone. It was as if they had been cut off. He looked extremely gloomy and horrible, but also a little pitiful.

Hades True Immortal who wreaked havoc in the Immortal Period actually had this type of look.

It was really beyond everyone’s expectations.

“Hmm? I feel a familiar aura from you…” A scarlet light burst out from behind the black flame and fell on Ding Hao. The hoarse voice like a grindstone sounded again. “This is… the aura of the Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors. You have been cultivating… No, it should be someone around you who has been cultivating the Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors, right?”

Ding Hao was greatly shocked.

...

“The Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors?

𝑓𝗿e𝐞𝓌𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟e𝙡. c𝚘𝚖

“Why did he suddenly mention this cultivation method?

“Could it be that…”

The man in the black flame seemed to be talking to himself before Ding Hao answered. He said in a somewhat gratified tone, “Haha, I didn’t expect that someone in today’s world would have obtained my inheritance and cultivated it well. It’s really surprising!”

“What?

“The Supreme Kung Fu Devoted by Ten Emperors is this man’s cultivation method?

“Could it be that it was a cultivation method passed down by Hades True Immortal? It can’t be. It’s obviously a cultivation method for strengthening the body without the evil dark power. After Zhang Fan cultivated it to a certain point, he could even summon the shadow of the Ancient God’s Totem…”

All of a sudden, an idea flashed across Ding Hao’s mind.

He came to realize something.

“Are… are you Hades True Immortal?” Ding Hao asked tentatively.

“Hades True Immortal? Haha…” That man gave a burst of strange laughter and said, “So what if I am? So what if I ain’t? Oh, by the way, are you weak immortals here to make a deal with the dark power? Hahaha, what a group of pitiful idiots…”
