Like the morning sun, the great sun rose in the east.
Under the great sun's radiance, the dazzling light instantly enveloped the extraterrestrial demon, scalding and burning it.
Screams echoed as black gas emanated, offering no resistance whatsoever.
It was utterly terrified. How was this possible?
Why were all the secret techniques this person possessed so effective against demons?
No, it couldn't stay here any longer. If this continued, its demonic origin would be completely exhausted. It was better to risk everything and break free, as that was the only path to survival!
With a ruthless resolve, it used all its strength to break out of the inner world. Demons could traverse the human heart and reality, moving between existence and non-existence, making ordinary obstacles useless.
But the next moment, it ran into a wall.
With a shattering sound, it crashed directly into the boundary of the inner world. It didn't break free from this mindscape and return to reality as it had imagined.
Su Han smiled faintly and said calmly:
"This isn't a place you can come and go as you please. Since you've trespassed here, why not stay a while longer? Or is the warm sunlight irritating you?"
He looked up at the great sun conjured in his mind.
His eyes also held a strange light.
Not only was the Heart Lamp Technique extremely effective against these extraterrestrial demons, but even the great sun conjured from the Supreme Pure Yang Chapter was as well. It was indeed a product of appraised divine powers.
But it was also understandable.
After all, the source of the Heart Lamp Technique was the Heart Saint of the Middle Ages, bearing the title of 'Saint,' which was definitely not simple. As for the Supreme Pure Yang Chapter, there was no need to say more; it was closely related to the Supreme.
Damn it, where was the warmth in this sun?
The extraterrestrial demon cursed inwardly, filled with bitterness.
Generally speaking, those who wanted to achieve pure Yang were either martial artists who were Grandmasters of Divine Gates, or Yuan Shen experts of external Dao cultivation. But it recalled several names, none of which matched Su Han.
The demonic origin was being depleted bit by bit, and the screams continued incessantly. Its body had already begun to shrink. If this continued, it would soon be reduced to nothing by the sunlight of this great sun.
It hurriedly begged for mercy, "Forgiveness, please forgive me! I dare not do it again! Please let me go! I am willing to make an oath, serve you as my master, and be at your disposal!"
"Oh? What kind of oath do you want to make?"
Su Han raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, his eyes filled with curiosity.
Demons were indeed magical beings. If he could capture one and have it at his disposal, it wouldn't be a bad thing. It was just that the information said that demons could transform in countless ways and were difficult to restrain.
There was once an unparalleled expert who captured a demon and enslaved it, making it swear all sorts of great oaths. But at the last moment, it betrayed him anyway, causing that expert to die tragically.
"I am willing to make the Great Oath of the Heart Demon!"
The extraterrestrial demon's scarlet eyes darted around as it quickly spoke.
Su Han smiled faintly, "Your heart is not sincere."
Immediately, he increased the radiance of the great sun above his head, making it even more dazzling, as if it were the great sun of the outside world that could illuminate all directions and resist all evil demons.
"Ah!"
The extraterrestrial demon screamed even more miserably.
It was caught off guard by the suddenly intensified radiance of the great sun, and cried out in pain, "Why? I was clearly very sincere!"
Su Han said indifferently:
"You're underestimating people by assuming they haven't read books and don't understand you, but I'm not one of them. Through various channels, I know that you demons can transform in countless ways, and many oaths can't restrain you."
"Not to mention this so-called Great Oath of the Heart Demon. Don't think I don't know that the so-called heart demon is just one type of demon. Making an oath to yourselves is not a good idea."
The extraterrestrial demon was immediately dumbfounded.
It seemed that this being of unknown origin really understood them. But since he could cultivate a Dao intent similar to pure Yang, he didn't seem to interact with them often, so how could he understand them?
It hurriedly continued to beg for mercy:
"I was wrong, I was wrong! I'll change it right away, I'll change it right away! I can make a soul contract with you, serve you as my master, and you can control my life, death, and thoughts!"
"Oh? A soul contract? That's interesting."
Su Han stroked his chin. Back then, when he made the soul imprint with Meng Chenglu, it did tame that little girl obediently. It wouldn't be a bad choice.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded, "Alright."
Soon, the soul contract was completed. Another collar appeared on the demon's neck, symbolizing that its life and death were now controlled by Su Han.
At the same time, in the instant the soul contract was made, he could also sense that this demon also had a similar contract on its body, which should be with its master behind the scenes.
But this was his inner world, his home field advantage. Furthermore, the effect of the soul contract was indeed overbearing.
It directly devoured that similar contract.
"Greetings, Master!"
Feeling that the light of the great sun in the sky was no longer blinding and scorching, the demon breathed a sigh of relief, transformed into a charming and scantily clad beauty, and knelt down in worship.
But Su Han's heart was unmoved.
Demons could transform in countless ways, into both men and women. They had no gender. It could turn into a beauty now, but it could also turn into a burly man picking his feet later. Just thinking about it made him lose all interest.
Moreover, he thought about it again. Although the soul contract was useful for normal living beings, it might not have absolute control over demons. He still needed to add some insurance.
So, with a thought, he infused the fire of his Heart Lamp, that is, the pure Yang intent flowing from the great sun in the sky, into the demon's origin, and said indifferently:
"Regardless of whether you have a way to break the soul contract, as long as you dare to do so, I will burn your origin to death."
"Yes, Master!"
The demon hurriedly kowtowed again, a chill rising in its heart.
Su Han had indeed guessed correctly.
As a demon, it did have ways to bypass the soul contract, even if it required a great price. But now, having two things it feared infused into its origin.
It really didn't dare to betray him.
Because it would really die.
Unless it could become powerful enough to completely surpass Su Han, perhaps it could ignore these two deadly things!
But it had already made a soul contract with Su Han, becoming his slave. Every move of its body could not escape Su Han's eyes. How could it become powerful enough without alarming Su Han?
Thinking of this, the demon suddenly felt a little despair.
Ironically, the key step in forming this prison was that it took the initiative to fill in the gaps itself. Oh Great自在天魔王, was it suffering the consequences of its own actions?
Su Han didn't bother to pay attention to the demon's thoughts.
In his opinion, even though he had already made a soul contract with this demon, and had the Fire of the Heart Lamp and the near Pure Yang Intent as insurance, there was still considerable risk.
He still needed to be wary in his heart and couldn't be at ease.
This kind of monster was different from Meng Chenglu.
It can only be used, not handed over.
He pondered for a moment, then spoke softly:
“Can you still contact your previous master?”
The Heavenly Demon was taken aback and quickly said:
“I can, but Master, he is a Great Heavenly Demon, comparable to the Qi Barrier stage in the martial arts system, extremely dangerous.”
At this point, it had to consider Su Han's safety.
If Su Han was swallowed by the eerie youth in one bite,
under the effect of the Soul Contract, it would also die.
“It doesn't matter. Meet him here. I will tell you what to do later. Don't act smart.”
Su Han spoke calmly, then snapped his fingers.
With a snap, it echoed throughout the Inner World.
The great sun in the sky suddenly disappeared, and the entire space became gray, revealing an ancient and desolate land,
filled with cold, gray mist, and many white bones appeared.
At this moment, this world seemed like the Netherworld had descended again.
The Heavenly Demon was stunned. What kind of method was this?
Just now, the great sun was hanging high, scattering boundless light.
Now, the Netherworld had descended, infinitely gray?
In fact, if it was just a simple change of the inner landscape, it would not be surprising. After all, the human heart is ever-changing. As a Heavenly Demon, it also had this ability. The things that changed were not real, just illusions of the mind, extremely false.
But its current perception.
It felt as if the Netherworld had really descended, and the cold, gray mist was clearly a mass of pure death energy,
as if it was gushing out from the Nine Netherworlds, filled with the desolate meaning of life and death.
In short, it couldn't feel the falsehood in it at all!
This was quite terrifying.
Could it be that its current master was actually a dead person who crawled out of the Nine Nether Yellow Springs, a forbidden existence? A remnant soul of a former immortal god?
Could it be that the dead of the old days will all return?
Its thoughts raced, and its heart turned cold.
Even without a scalp, it felt its scalp tingling.
No wonder the aura of the Underworld permeated Peace County.
No wonder this body would welcome a new master.
It all matched up, everything matched up!
Through the control of the Soul Contract, Su Han also sensed the thoughts emitted by this Heavenly Demon. Although they were somewhat anti-human, changing in a myriad of ways, and difficult for normal beings to understand, he was still able to decipher them through his powerful mental cultivation.
He smiled slightly, this was exactly the effect he wanted to achieve.
To fabricate a mysterious origin for himself.
Otherwise, if the black hand hidden behind the scenes, that Great Heavenly Demon, saw through his weakness and helplessness, it would probably come here immediately to strangle him, leaving him no time to grow.
The Heavenly Demon transformed back into its original form.
It quickly used a secret method to contact the eerie youth.
An eerie figure appeared in front of Su Han, holding a glass filled with red liquid in his hand, shaking the liquid in the glass, and said with a smile: “No wonder I sensed the contract was broken. It turns out you have another new master.”
He looked at the Heavenly Demon, then at Su Han, and continued to smile:
“In that case, you are not a Heavenly Demon. Then I will give you a piece of advice: those who enslave Heavenly Demons will eventually be betrayed by Heavenly Demons, even if the one who enslaves the Heavenly Demon is also a Heavenly Demon.”
Su Han sat upright on the bone throne he had conjured, and said indifferently: “How this尊 (zūn- respectful form of I) acts is not something for you, a small Heavenly Demon, to evaluate. But didn't you want to test 尊 (zūn)?”
“Have you seen it now?”
The eerie youth raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. He didn't expect Su Han to be so strong. He looked around,
fell into a moment of contemplation, and then said: “Are you something that crawled up from the ground?”
“Impudent, Luo You, how dare you evaluate Master like this!”
The Heavenly Demon, who was nearby, immediately scolded him angrily.
It was just like a lackey of the master's family.
Su Han was not annoyed, and smiled slightly:
“You beings of the present world have lost your sense of awe.”
Looking at Su Han's calm and indifferent expression, Luo You was somewhat surprised. He originally wanted to use these words to bluff and confirm whether this was a pretense.
But now it seems that it really was something that crawled up from the ground?
As a Great Heavenly Demon, he knew many secrets and was very clear that for the immortal gods of the old days and the underworld gods, these intermediate mortals were insignificant.
Whether they were insulted or praised, they hardly cared.
Is it like humans caring about the praise and insults of ants?
It's the same principle.
This person in front of him really has the attitude that an underworld god should have.
Could it be that the things of the old days are really going to be resurrected and return?
His heart suddenly became heavy, and then he slowly said: “The things of the old days have long passed away. Whether it is the Heavenly Court or the Underworld, they have also become legends and are gradually being forgotten by the world.”
“Perhaps you should also change your perspective.”
Luo You was careful and used the respectful form of "you".
He had sensed that the surroundings were an inner space, not reality, but the desolate land, pure death energy,
and the meaning of life and death cycle were extremely real, and he could not see any falsehood.
It was as if it was a reflection of the real Netherworld Yellow Springs.
The so-called what kind of person, thinks in his heart, the inner space in front of him presents such a scene,
and it is quite real, I am afraid that it is really inseparable from the Netherworld Yellow Springs.
He had to take it seriously.
“Oh? You little Heavenly Demon of the present world, are you trying to confirm something from 尊 (zūn)'s mouth? Then 尊 (zūn) might as well tell you, the old days will eventually return, and the departed will also return.”
“By then, your concepts will naturally be changed back.”
Su Han smiled slightly and fabricated a message that the immortal gods were about to return. Now that this Great Heavenly Demon had taken the bait, even if there was no evidence, even if he was skeptical, he could only believe him.
Luo You was shocked and extremely solemn.
Because of the return of the spiritual tide, the rise of troubled times, and other trends, he had already faintly guessed that some old things might return. Now it seems that it is true?
And it's not just a simple return.
Is it the return of the entire old era?
He took a deep breath and bowed:
“Thank you, Venerable God, for informing me. I have benefited a lot.”
“Since that's the case, I have already told Venerable God one thing. The original owner of this body was a true cultivator who had attained enlightenment. When we besieged him, his primordial spirit left his body and disappeared into the void. We searched the surrounding void but couldn't find any trace of him. We need to be careful.”
“尊 (zūn) can suppress the little people of the present world with a flip of the hand.”
Su Han said indifferently, not taking it seriously.
But he thought in his heart, escaped into the void and suddenly disappeared?
He suddenly thought of a possibility.
Could it be that he encountered a space-time turbulence, crossed over to Earth and became the current him, and then he crossed back?
But how should the time flow in between be calculated?
