Sure enough!
A moment later, Po Xiao also took out a seal from his Qiankun bag.
The difference was that this seal was dark gold.
But it could also show a phantom image, and it also emitted three beams of light, one of which shot towards the other party.
Ye Cangtian knew that it was impossible to hide the Dragon Controlling Seal any longer, so he had no choice but to take it out.
However, this was also good. It was a good opportunity to inquire about the origin and function of the Dragon Controlling Seal.
Thinking this, he looked at the Lord of Darkness and said, "Do you know what this is? What is its function?"
"As the owner of the Dragon Controlling Seal, you actually don't know its origin?"
"Well, since you brought the Dragon Controlling Seal to me, I'll tell you before you die..."
The Lord of Darkness began to explain patiently.
It is said that in ancient times, there were four seals in total: the Seal of Light, the Seal of Darkness, the Seal of the Human Emperor, and the Seal of Chaos.
Among them, the Seal of the Human Emperor was the supreme treasure of the human race.
Later, after joining forces with the Dragon clan and sweeping across the eight directions, they asked skilled craftsmen to modify it into the Dragon Controlling Seal and bestow it upon the Dragon clan.
At the same time, the four great seals had their own legends.
Legend has it that the four seals were forged by an ancient deity. If one could gather all four seals, they could open the gate to the Heavenly Realm.
In the Heavenly Realm, one could find the path to true eternal life, a place yearned for by countless powerful beings.
Therefore, as early as ancient times, fierce battles had already broken out for the four seals.
It was just that later, for some unknown reason, the ancient world was destroyed and turned into countless fragments of worlds. The so-called ruins today were merely fragments of the ancient world.
In this catastrophe, countless living beings suffered misfortune, and less than one in ten survived.
The four seals also disappeared, buried in the countless fragments of worlds.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian finally understood the secret of the Dragon Controlling Seal: it could open the door to another world.
Thinking about it now, it was no wonder that the Hall of Light would spare no expense to search for these seals. They must have wanted to open the gate to the Heavenly Realm to obtain its treasures and the secret to eternal life.
Thinking this, Ye Cangtian looked at the Lord of Darkness again and said, "Since you know all this and are so powerful, why don't you come out yourself and seize the other seals?"
"The reason is very simple, I cannot leave this place even half a step!"
The Lord of Darkness revealed without any concealment, saying calmly.
Afterward, he stated his thoughts.
In his opinion, the catastrophe of the ancient world was more like a conspiracy by the Heavenly Realm.
After this catastrophe, he felt as if he were imprisoned, unable to leave even half a step. This felt more like confinement, or perhaps a whetstone prepared for certain people.
It was very simple: if someone obtained one of the four seals, they would come according to the clues of the light beams, and then attempt to seize the Seal of Darkness from his hands.
In this situation, even if he killed the other party, he would at most obtain the other party's seal, but he could not leave this place.
Unless he could gather all the seals, perhaps then he could open the gate to the Heavenly Realm and escape.
But how could such a thing be easy?
As early as ancient times, those who obtained the seals were all powerful beings without exception.
Since he could be resurrected, others should be able to do so as well.
And how could he be absolutely sure of killing those who could defeat them? In the end, he might just be doing all the work for others.
This was one of the reasons why he continuously strengthened the power of the City of Darkness, entirely out of self-preservation.
However, what he did not expect was that the holder of the Dragon Controlling Seal this time was actually a weakling, which truly excited him immensely.
On the other side.
Hearing the words of the Lord of Darkness, Ba Tian and Ye Cangtian's eyes widened in astonishment.
Too terrifying.
Even the Lord of Darkness could be manipulated and made into a pawn or a whetstone. What kind of powerful being could accomplish this?
Moreover, the Lord of Darkness's guess was very likely true.
Because whether it was the Hall of Light ruins or the Huaxia ruins, they were filled with great dangers and countless powerful demons.
But they always remained in their own corners, never fighting against each other, as if they were being herded.
Otherwise, with the strength of humans within them, they might not have been able to hold their ground.
Thinking of this, Ye Cangtian looked at the Lord of Darkness and said, "How about a deal?"
Hmm?
The Lord of Darkness looked at Ye Cangtian, his eyes filled with doubt.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian quickly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "You let us leave. After I find the other two seals, I will definitely return and take you to the Heavenly Realm to break free from this cage!"
Ye Cangtian understood that the Lord of Darkness definitely wanted to seize the Dragon Controlling Seal to break free from his confinement.
And after being trapped here for countless years, how difficult would it be for him to gather the four seals?
With his help, this time could be greatly shortened, and he could also avoid fighting the other party, which would be beneficial to both of them.
"Hahaha..."
The Lord of Darkness burst into laughter and said, "What a clever little brat! But do you think I would believe you?"
The Lord of Darkness's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
Such an opportunity does not come twice. Now that the Dragon Controlling Seal had been delivered to his doorstep.
If he did not cherish it, who knew how many more years he would have to wait!
Besides, there was another point: he worried that after Po Xiao left, he would gather many human experts to encircle and suppress him.
In that case, no matter how strong he was, he might eventually be worn down to death.
"You can try to believe me once, and I will not disappoint you!"
"You should know that with my help, gathering the four seals will take much less time, and you won't have to suffer here anymore!"
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian's brows furrowed, and he continued to try to persuade the other party to cease hostilities.
Hmph!
The Lord of Darkness snorted coldly and said, "Don't forget, I was also human once. I am much more familiar with human deceit and cunning than you are, so don't waste your efforts!"
The Lord of Darkness was not moved by the other party's offer. In his opinion, it was better to wait for countless more years here than to let the other party go.
At least it was easier to deal with an intruder who stumbled in than an expert who came prepared.
Moreover, letting the other party go now was equivalent to releasing a tiger back into the wild. When the other party had sufficient strength, would they still keep their promise?
Therefore, no matter what, he had no intention of letting the other party go!
Listening to the other party's words, Ye Cangtian's face turned so grim that it seemed as if blood would drip out. He now understood that no matter what he said, he could probably not avoid this battle.
The next moment, he directly drew out his Dragon Soul Saber.
Although the Dragon Soul Saber was Ye Cangtian's standard equipment, there was no one else around now, so it was not a problem to draw it out.
More importantly, the Dragon Soul Saber was much more powerful than the golden great ring saber, making it the preferred choice when facing a strong enemy!
"You have good courage, but your strength is a little lacking."
As he spoke, the Lord of Darkness slowly stood up from his seat. With a shake of his hand, a dark golden scythe of death appeared in his hand.
Then, with a mocking smile, he slowly raised the scythe of death and shouted, "Who wants to come up and die first!"
"Hmph!"
Looking at the steps, the Lord of Darkness, like the god of death waiting to harvest lives, Ba Tian snorted coldly and flashed forward, rushing up the steps.
He knew very well that in this battle, he would be the main force, and Po Xiao could only help very little.
Ye Cangtian, standing beside him, also rushed forward.
Although his strength was weak, only by cooperating tacitly could the two of them have a slim chance of survival.
"Ba Tian, I've only sparred with you a few times before to pass the time. Do you really think you have the qualifications to fight me!"
On the other side, seeing Ba Tian step forward first, the Lord of Darkness sneered dismissively.
Then, he opened his hand, and the phantom image of the Seal of Darkness flashed.
With a gentle flick of his hand, the Seal of Darkness shot into the air, and at the same time, a black light enveloped Ba Tian.
Within the black light, Ba Tian felt his strength draining away even faster. What made him despair the most was that no matter how he resisted, he could not break free from the restraint of the black light.
What!
Ye Cangtian, seeing Ba Tian restrained, widened his eyes, and his heart sank to the bottom.
He could fight the Lord of Darkness only because Ba Tian was present.
If Ba Tian was restrained, he would have no chance at all.
However, since he had already charged forward, he had no intention of retreating. That was not his character, and moreover, he could not escape from the other party.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian gritted his teeth, leaped up, and raised the Dragon Soul Saber high. With a thunderous momentum, he slashed at the Lord of Darkness.
"Heh heh, brat, it seems you still refuse to accept fate!"
"Then I won't be polite!"
Seeing Ye Cangtian's attack coming, the Lord of Darkness sneered coldly, and swung his hand holding the scythe of death.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the scythe of death collided fiercely with the Dragon Soul Saber. In the next instant, Ye Cangtian was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.
