Urban Undying Lord
Chapter 364 - 364 363 Dark Prison

364: Chapter 363 Dark Prison 364: Chapter 363 Dark Prison Death may be terrifying, but what’s even more terrifying is loneliness and silence.

When one finds oneself in an environment of solitary darkness, it can drive a person mad, and even more so, gradually kill their spirit.

Eternal darkness, endless loneliness, this Dark Prison where not even a sliver of light can be found, nor is there any sound to be heard.

Suddenly, a wisp of black mist appeared, slowly covering Ye Xuan, as if it wanted to merge him into the darkness until he became one with this Dark Prison.

“Who…

am I?”

Like Chaos at the beginning, like the first light of dawn, Ye Xuan called out in confusion, yet his voice was hoarse and lost, making the Dark Prison momentarily stagnate.

“I remember now, I am Ye Xuan.

I came from the Human World, chasing Yang Jian for tens of thousands of miles, I battled with a Daluo Golden Immortal in Heaven, allowed the Heavenly Demon to possess me, and ultimately perished.

But did I die?

Or perhaps I am not yet dead?”

That wisp of darkness lingered beside Ye Xuan, who stood up within the darkness, blankly surveying this Dark Prison.

A hint of Spiritual Light slowly focused in his eyes, faces flashed through his mind, and his aura became extremely chaotic.

Yang Jian!

Yu Ding!

The Jade Emperor…

and that meddlesome woman!

Yang Jian’s soul scattered, Yu Ding was ruthlessly cruel, the Jade Emperor mocked in contempt, and of course, there was the Guanghan Fairy with a mournful aura.

As these images flitted across Ye Xuan’s mind, his fists clenched slightly, and a terrifying fluctuation beyond imagination surfaced all around him.

Hum!

His bewildered eyes gradually became cold and eerie.

The wisp of darkness wrapping around him merged into the center of his forehead, he eerily surveyed the Dark Prison, and a cruel, venomous smile appeared.

“So it turns out, the legend is true.”

An ancient legend.

After using the Forbidden Heaven Technique, although one might gain the bolstering of the Heavenly Demon Power, one would also be devoured by the Heavenly Demon, a force not found in the Three Realms, and ultimately meet the fate of having their soul utterly destroyed.

However, legends say that within the void of Chaos, the power of the Heavenly Demon represents all living beings.

It arises from the gathering of the dark and negative emotions of all beings and can be considered a power of Chaos Law.

Ye Xuan, a man of boundless darkness, had long abandoned so-called benevolence and morality.

He was a representative of darkness himself.

Although he had succumbed to Heavenly Demon Possession and suffered the agony of its backlash, it did not cause his soul to scatter.

Instead the power of the Heavenly Demon transformed into a Dark Prison, trapping his Primordial Spirit here.

If he were unable to break out of this prison, his Primordial Spirit would forever be sealed within.

“Break for me!”

Ye Xuan’s Primordial Spirit radiated light, a kind of light that was boundlessly dark.

He swung his fists violently, striking the Dark Prison with all his might, yet it caused not the slightest ripple.

Like draws like, darkness gives birth to darkness.

During the Heavenly Demon’s backlash, Ye Xuan hadn’t perished with his soul shattered because his heart was already filled with the most negative emotions of the world, having merged with the power of the Heavenly Demon, which was the reason he had survived.

But this Dark Prison was also formed from the power of the Heavenly Demon.

The power in his Primordial Spirit right now shared the same origin as this Dark Prison, so naturally, it couldn’t shatter the seal of the prison.

Perhaps it was a day, perhaps ten years, Ye Xuan seemed to fall into madness, constantly striking the Dark Prison, wanting to break free.

Until his last bit of strength was exhausted, the Dark Prison remained unmoved, which enlightened him that no matter how he bombed it, his own power had long since fused with the Power of the Heavenly Demon, and breaking the prison was nothing but a pipe dream.

What to do?

Ye Xuan sat desolately in the prison, struggling to think of a solution.

He had no idea how much time had passed, but he couldn’t figure out a way to break the prison.

Silent darkness, lonely deathly stillness, Ye Xuan’s thoughts grew increasingly chaotic.

Faces of many people flashed through his disordered mind.

The domineering and ruthless Yu Ding, the cold sneers and mockery of the Jade Emperor, and the tragic eyes of the Guanghan Fairy.

To kill Yu Ding, to annihilate the Ancient Twelve Golden Immortals, to slaughter the Jade Emperor and seize his position as Heavenly Emperor, and then there was… the Guanghan Fairy…!

Relentlessness, hatred, and an extremely fierce murderous intent continuously surrounded Ye Xuan, the dark and negative emotions growing within.

He refused to die trapped in this Dark Prison.

He would also never forget the contemptuous look of the Jade Emperor looking down on him, as if mocking him for wanting a woman to pray for his life.

If he wanted to kill Yu Ding, he wanted even more to slaughter the Jade Emperor because the Guanghan Fairy’s plea to the Jade Emperor was the greatest insult to him, Ye Xuan, a memory he would not forget.

The two couldn’t be said to be love rivals, for Ye Xuan had never loved the Guanghan Fairy; he was only interested in her body, having long regarded her as a woman with whom only he could play.

A violent emotion brewed within Ye Xuan.

Not only did he want to break through this Dark Prison, but he also wanted to ruthlessly trample the Jade Emperor under his feet in the future.

Suddenly, amidst the growth of these dark emotions, Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up.

He looked around the Dark Prison, as if he had thought of something.

“Dark Prison is the embodiment of the Heavenly Demon Power, just a form of energy.

If I could refine the Heavenly Demon Power, could I break free?”

Better to release than block, Ye Xuan’s counterintuitive thinking brought a happy expression to his face, feeling certain this method would work.

No sooner thought than done, this had always been Ye Xuan’s principle of action.

He sat cross-legged in the Dark Prison, his Primordial Spirit transforming into a black hole.

The Undying Immortal Scripture wildly circulated, creating a massive suction force, which caused the Dark Prison to undergo an extremely surprising change.

Buzz!

The Dark Prison was in turmoil, strands of Heavenly Demon Power emerged from nothing, slowly being absorbed into Ye Xuan’s Primordial Spirit.

Ye Xuan was overjoyed, knowing this method was indeed useful.

Although this absorption was extremely slow, it was indeed progressing in a favorable direction, causing Ye Xuan to concentrate on operating the Undying Immortal Scripture, slowly absorbing the Heavenly Demon Power produced by the Dark Prison.

The Heavenly Demon Power, gathering all negative emotions from living beings and refining them into Ye Xuan’s Primordial Spirit, was an extremely dangerous act, perhaps turning Ye Xuan into a killing machine.

But Ye Xuan had no choice and didn’t care about the risks.

For only by breaking through the Dark Prison could his Primordial Spirit return to his flesh and reappear in the Three Realms.

Moreover, Ye Xuan had a great sense of urgency.

His Primordial Spirit was now trapped here, and he had no idea where his external body was.

If it fell into the hands of the Chan Sect, he feared an inconceivable calamity would befall him.

Time trickled away, and Ye Xuan merged into the boundless darkness.

However, the strands of Heavenly Demon Power that entered his body also made the space become terribly quiet and still.
