The Legend of Futian

Chapter 2755 The Will of Darkness

The gigantic figure above the temple lorded above Ye Futian and continued, “Ye Futian, your cultivation is extraordinary. And on top of that, you have an unusual relationship with the heir I have chosen. Qingyao is willing to betray the Dark Court for your sake. What do you think should be done?”

“Dark Lord, Qingyao has been good to me. I am sure you must know that Qingyao knew me before she joined the Dark Court. She only did what she did because she still remembered our friendship. However, other than that, Qingyao has never had the slightest intention of disobeying the Dark Lord,” Ye Futian replied.

“People who cultivated in the Dark Court should have no emotions, except to do the will of the darkness. Her action was already an act of betrayal to the darkness,” the Dark Lord roared as he released the pressure, giving Ye Futian a feeling of extreme oppression as he was placed under a terrifying coercion.

He knew that the Dark Lord oppressed his will to make him emotionally unstable.

“Furthermore, you have slaughtered many cultivators of the Dark World. If one day you chose to be at war with the Dark World, wouldn’t the heir I have raised by my own hands rebel against her own people?” the Dark Lord continued to press.

For a time, Ye Futian was speechless. In some sense, Ye Qingyao’s action had indeed violated a major taboo of the Dark World. Ye Futian and the Dark World had never had a harmonious relationship since a long time ago, and battles had broken out between them several times.

“I can’t predict the future, but I can promise you that I won’t put Qingyao in a situation where she is forced to choose between the Dark Court and myself,” Ye Futian replied.

“The things of the world are unpredictable. If you do fight with the Dark Court in the future, the situation will be beyond your control, let alone the empty promises you are making now,” the Dark Lord said with an icy voice. “What’s more, I have never believed in promises.”

“Then, what does the Dark Lord require of me?” Ye Futian asked directly. Since the Dark Lord had received him in person, he must have some ideas of his own, or else, he would not have bothered talking this long with him. All the Dark Lord had to do was make one move, and all would be finished.

High above the temple, the eyes of the Dark Lord stared at Ye Futian. A voice was heard saying, “If you agree to join the Dark Court, I can bestow you with the position of the Great Shaman one day. Then, you may fight side by side with Qingyao, sweeping across the Divine Prefecture together and avenging Emperor Ye Qing at the same time.”

Ye Futian was a little surprised. The Dark Lord wanted to give him the position of the Great Shaman of the Dark Court?

The Great Shaman of the Dark Court was the head of the three lords, and the first person under the command of the Dark Lord was now served by Lord Shaman. The Dark Lord had promised Ye Futian this position in the future.

However, with Ye Futian’s strength today, he would catch up with the Lord Shaman in the future. As long as he was willing to join the Dark Court, then the power held in his hands would also be the power of the Dark Court. This made Ye Futian far more valuable than the Lord Shaman.

nse now.

If this was his way of thinking, then everything the Dark Lord said made great sense now. However, when he said this, he had not considered Lord Shaman’s feelings. The Dark Lord was known as a tyrant of the Dark World. Maybe he didn’t really care how the others saw him, and he didn’t need anyone to be grateful to him. Even hating him was nothing to him.

His will was to let darkness descend onto the world.

“I thank the Dark Lord for the offer. It’s just that I’m now in charge of Ziwei Segmentum, and many friends followed me. If I join the Dark Court, it will undoubtedly be seen as a betrayal to everyone else who followed me. I hope the Dark Lord understands my position,” Ye Futian politely refused. He could not join the Dark Court. “Qingyao is willing to betray the Dark Court for you, but you can’t join the Dark Court for her?” the Dark Lords asked him coldly. The Dark Lord was being unreasonable; the two had no connection at all. For Ye Qingyao, he had come to the Dark Court all the same, and in here, his life was out of his control.

However, he couldn’t refute the Dark Lord outright, so he merely said, “If the Dark Lord doesn’t trust me, you can let me talk to Qingyao. If one day, the Dark Court and I stand on opposing sides, on the battlefield, Qingyao and I could put our personal relationship aside.” ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by NovelEnglish.net

“Wouldn’t it be easier if I just killed either one of you?” the Dark Lord asked rhetorically.

“If the Dark Lord can find the next suitable heir, then it would be understandable to do so,” Ye Futian replied.

The pitch-black eyes of the Dark Lord stared at him as he said, “Very well. Think clearly, then tell me your answer. I will give you a chance.”

When his voice faded, a terrifying dark storm submerged Ye Futian’s body in an instant. He felt as if he had been caught up in a shower of darkness. In the next moment, he was swept into a separate space by the dark storm. All around him, there was only endless darkness.

Ye Futian’s expression was not the best. His eyes were terrifying as he tried his best to see through the darkness. At the same time, he released his divine consciousness but found it useless.

He moved with Buddha’s Celerity but soon discovered that he was still in the darkness, unable to get out at all.

The Dark Lord had trapped him.

On top of the Dark Court, in the space surrounded by darkness, there was a dark figure sitting on the throne, high above everything and everyone else. Below, a figure was kneeling on the ground. A cape covered her, but it did not cover her face. It was Ye Qingyao. She had seen everything that happened and knew that Ye Futian had come to the Dark Court.

“If I kill him, what will you do?” the Dark Lord asked Ye Qingyao. “Then I will ask my Lord to kill me as well,” Ye Qingyao replied. “Or else?” the Dark Lord said coldly. “I will bring darkness to darkness.” Ye Qingyao still knelt on the ground without raising her head, but her icy voice sounded extremely determined.

The Dark Lord said, “No father, no king, no love, and no morality is the true meaning of darkness. But you still have your weaknesses. If I kill him, you will have fallen completely into darkness, which, perhaps, will be better for you.”

“No, I will only bring darkness to darkness and make darkness disappear from the world,” Ye Qingyao responded.

“Very well.” The Dark Lord looked intently at Ye Qingyao and said, “Ye Qingyao, I order you to return to God’s Continent right now, cooperate with the Great Shaman, and bring the darkness to the Continent of the Ruins that belonged to the gods. I want darkness to cover every inch of the continent.”

Today, the cultivators of all the worlds had gathered upon the Continent of the Ruins that belonged to the gods. This place was undoubtedly a perfect battlefield, suitable for starting a war, and preferably, a battle of the world.

“Yes, my Lord.” Ye Qingyao took the order and left without asking any more questions.

After Ye Qingyao left, the Dark Lord stared at her departing figure for a long time. Everyone in the Dark Court knew that he was partial to Ye Qingyao, yet no one knew why.

Ye Qingyao’s life had been incredibly miserable and full of suffering. Her heart was cold, and her blood was equally cold. She was destined to belong to the darkness and bring misfortunes to the world.

He raised his head to look in another direction. Ye Futian was trapped inside that darkness.

He was thinking, how could he make Ye Futian be part of this darkness as well?

It would be a pity if such a talented person did not become part of the darkness!
