In a stone chamber of ten thousand feet in radius, a white-haired man lay quietly on the ground, his eyes closed, his face slightly pale, and the fire of his soul gushing out wisps of divine aura, protecting him in the center.
This person was naturally Wutan. After being pulled in by the sudden force, he lost consciousness immediately.
The stone chamber was extremely quiet. Apart from Wujitian's breathing, another faint breathing sound could be clearly heard. Following the sound, one saw an old man with a head full of white hair sitting cross-legged in a corner of the stone chamber.
This man had dark yellow skin, sunken eye bags, and was extremely skinny. If his chest had not been rising and falling slightly with his breathing, one would have thought he was a mummy.
This white-haired old man had no breath in his body, his eyes were slightly closed, and no emotion could be seen. He looked like an ordinary old man, but he gave people a very strange feeling, as if he had merged into this world and seemed unreal!
In the entire stone chamber, there was nothing else except Wutan and the old man in white. There was not even a single extra decoration. It was as silent as death!
Time passed slowly, and no one knew how long it had been. With a muffled groan, Wutan's tightly closed eyes finally moved.
The first feeling after waking up was pain, as if I had been through a battle and my whole body was sore.
"This is?"
He slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was a dark red light curtain, and outside the light curtain was a dark stone wall. After seeing these, Wutan shuddered all over, forgetting all the pain, and jumped up, looking around.
"boom!"
And when he saw the old man in white in front of him, Wutan's body trembled violently, and he stomped his foot on the ground and retreated without thinking!
Because he felt an unprecedented sense of crisis from this old man. It was like an ancient ferocious beast that chose its prey for its prey. A chill ran through his mind and even his soul!
Wutan was horrified. Even the first time he faced a Great Venerable, he had never felt this way before. Who on earth could this person be? Just seeing his figure made him shudder!
It's not about how strong his aura is or how high his cultivation is, but a kind of essence, just like the oppression brought by a low-level ferocious beast seeing a high-level ferocious beast with bloodline power.
"You finally woke up."
At this time, a plain voice sounded, and it came from the mouth of the old man in white, but his eyes were not opened, as if there was a ferocious beast sealed inside, and as long as his eyelids opened, it would break the seal and come out!
After clenching his fists and feeling the destructive power brought by the left and right hands of the god, Wu Tian finally felt at ease and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Haven't you guessed it?" The old man asked instead of answering. His voice was quite hoarse, but very powerful.
"Are you really the Lord of Dark City?" Wu Tian asked in surprise.
"It's me." The old man smiled faintly, his eyes still closed.
Wu Tian was shocked when he heard this, but he showed no abnormality on the surface. He hesitated for a moment, actually trying to calm himself down, and asked, "Who sealed you here?"
"I believe you have also roughly estimated my strength. In the City of Darkness, apart from the departed God of War Sikong, I am afraid no one else has the ability to seal me."
At this point, the Dark City Lord paused, as if lost in memory. After a while, he sighed and said, "Actually, I sealed myself."
"Self-seal?" Wutan was surprised.
The so-called self-sealing, in short, is called self-sealing, which means that one uses one's own means to seal oneself in a corner. However, only kind-hearted people can do this.
Because the consequences of self-sealing are not something that ordinary people can bear. Not only will your cultivation level not increase at all, but it will also plummet in a short period of time, and it will be a permanent drop. After the seal is released, you have to start practicing again.
Therefore, only some kind-hearted people, when practicing some unique skills, will accidentally go astray and become bloodthirsty. At that time, they will seal themselves to avoid killing innocent people.
But it is obvious that the Dark City Lord is not a kind person!
Just imagine, how could two people be kind-hearted and able to massacre all the ancestors of the Sikong clan
Apart from this, there is only one explanation, that is, it would endanger one's own life and he had to seal himself.
"You guessed right. I am not a kind-hearted person. Most of the Sikong clan members were buried in my hands. It is no exaggeration to say that I have committed all kinds of evil." The Dark City Lord said with his eyes still closed, which made Wutan very curious.
Wu Tian didn't have much emotion, as if he had just heard a very plain story, and said calmly: "Then why did you seal yourself here?"
After a moment's silence, the Dark City Lord sighed and said, "Because of my eyes."
Wu Tian did not say anything, waiting for what was to come.
"My eyes are the rare Demonic Pupils of Life and Death in the world. As for their rarity, they are almost the same as your Heaven-Destroying Battle Body." The Dark City Lord said hoarsely. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Wutan actually heard a hint of nostalgia.
"Do you know that I am the Heaven-Destroying Battle Body?"
The Dark City Lord nodded and said, "Yes, you and I both have extraordinary physiques. When we meet, there will be some induction. For example, if it were someone else today, they would definitely regard me as an ordinary old man and would not have the slightest sense of crisis."
"I see."
Wutan suddenly realized. Xiao Wuhao once said that it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize that they possess the Tianmo War Body, unless they meet a physique comparable to the Tianmo War Body. No wonder he had that feeling in his heart when he first saw the Lord of Darkness.
The Dark City Lord sighed.
"The Demonic Eyes of Life and Death, the left eye controls life, the right eye controls death. When I was young, I was invincible with these Demonic Eyes of Life and Death. At that time, my motto was, those who obey will prosper, those who disobey will perish..."
"However, after I slaughtered the entire Sikong clan, due to excessive killing, a demon spirit was born in my pupils. I lost control of it and it wanted to devour my soul and body. I had no choice but to seal myself in the hope of destroying the demon spirit. But it turned out to be far beyond my expectations. Not only did the demon spirit not get weaker, it got stronger and stronger."
The Dark City Lord said that just when he was having trouble controlling the Demonic Eyes of Life and Death, a person suddenly appeared, and that person was Chi Yanzi.
He put forward conditions, saying that he could help him control the Demon Eye, but on the premise that his safety must be protected under any circumstances, and that the throne of the Dark City Lord must be passed to him.
Finally, the Dark City Lord agreed. As a result, he learned from Chi Yanzi that in the Continent of Samsara, there were two rare beast gods in the world. Using their blood, combined with the blood of bright spirits with pure and kind hearts, he could control the continued deterioration of the Demonic Eye of Life and Death.
These two beast gods are the Beast King and the Beast God!
"So this is why Sikong Yanran doesn't dare to expose her luminous spirit body." Wu Tian muttered to himself. His previous confusion was finally clear. His face suddenly darkened and he said, "How could Chi Yanzi know about you when he is in the Samsara Continent?"
The Lord of Darkness sighed deeply and explained, "Because of this old man's matter, the Shadow Guard Commander once went to the Samsara Continent and accidentally met Chi Yanzi. He let the secret slip, and that's how he found out."
Wu Tian smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "You are really heartless. For your sake, the Shadow Guard Commander ran around everywhere, but what about you? You actually watched him die."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, a sneer appeared on the old face of the Dark City Lord, with an expression of indifference.
But he didn't explain.
In fact, there is no need for explanation. Wutan can read something from his face. It is nothing more than that the Shadow Guard Leader wants to indirectly kill the Lord of Dark City, and then replace him and become the real master of Dark City.
"Just tell me! What do you want to do by luring me here?"
The Dark City Lord smiled and said, "I like people like you who are straightforward. I need your blood and the fire of your soul."
"My blood?" Wutan frowned.
"good."
The Dark City Lord nodded and said, "I know that the blood in your body has not yet reached the third stage and does not have destructive power, but I can wait. Before you reach the third stage, I need to suppress it with the fire of your soul."
"Why should I help you?" Wutan said indifferently.
"You have no other choice. You can either help me or spend the rest of your life with me here. Or you can wait for you to break through to the Saint-level forbidden master and comprehend this Saint-level forbidden system. Then you may have a chance to leave. But the premise is that I have to give you a chance."
The Dark City Lord's tone was very calm, but there was no doubt that he would do what he said. However, what Wutan cared about most was the Saint-level restriction.
He had clearly sensed it was an imperial-level restriction before, but what the Dark City Lord said was a saint-level restriction!
As if he had guessed what Wu Tian was thinking, the Dark City Lord tempted him: "As long as you agree to help me, I am willing to give you this Saint-level restriction and help you quickly break through to the Saint-level restriction master."
Shaking his head without comment, Wutan looked around without saying anything. He sat on the ground, took out the taboo of the Great Zhoutian, and began to comprehend it.
"Well!"
Seeing Wujitian's attitude, the Dark City Lord was stunned, then shook his head and laughed, and fell silent.
For a moment, the place became extremely quiet, and even a pin drop could be heard.
It was unknown how long it had been before Xiao Wuhao sent a message: "Xiao Wutian, you can consider agreeing to the Dark City Lord's request."
"Why?" Wutan was stunned and confused.
"I have heard of the Life and Death Demon Eye. It was a famous existence in the ancient times. When the left eye is opened, bones can grow flesh and the dead can be resurrected. When the right eye is opened, the soul can be destroyed and the bones can be crushed to ashes. In fact, this is nothing. It is said that the Life and Death Demon Eye, if assisted by rare treasures of heaven and earth, can be promoted to the Samsara Eye. At that time, it can control the cycle of reincarnation and reverse yin and yang as if it were child's play. It is very terrifying!"
Xiao Wuhao slowly explained the reason. Upon hearing this, Wutan’s heart immediately started pounding!
