Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 64 The Dark Body, Han Qiu

The main hall was spacious, with candles made from the oil of wild beasts burning brightly, releasing a special fragrance that could calm the mind and spirit of martial artists.

However, Han Qiu was unable to calm her mind at this moment. Her mind was filled with countless chaotic thoughts. The evil methods of the demons and monsters that she had heard about since childhood in the Yuntai Sect gradually became connected with her own mind, and she broke out in a cold sweat.

The moment she fell into the hands of the Purple Wind Star Envoy, she thought of ending her own life to avoid being humiliated by the evil people.

But on the way from her inn room to the main hall of the Blazing Fire Gate, the cold night wind woke her up.

She discovered that she didn't seem to have such a strong personality, and couldn't bring herself to choose between breaking into pieces rather than surrendering.

She was not even twenty years old, and her wonderful life had just begun. She had finally found a way to get rid of the Dark Body. She didn't want to die. She wanted to live and become a martial arts master like her father and grandfather, famous throughout Tianmo Ridge and even the Eastern Region.

She dared not look up at the figure of the person on the main seat in the hall. The young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall, his name alone was enough to terrify countless righteous martial artists. Having witnessed the defeat of Qian Fan, the first-ranked person on the Earth Ranking during the day, Han Qiu dared not look up at this young master of the Black Market, for fear that she would also be controlled by his gaze and fall into boundless terror.

Di Yi scrutinized the woman before him, and only after a period of mountain exploration and peak climbing did he get a clear look at her face. As one of the Ten Beauties of the Heavenly Demons, Han Qiu's appearance was indeed one in a million. As the daughter of the Lord of the Yuntai Sect, she naturally carried the aura of a noble family.

During the day, the Dark Martial Soul and the Twin Lotus of Return to Nothingness sensed each other, and only then did Di Yifang discover her trace in the crowd.

There are very few martial artists in the world who can master the power of darkness, and even in the vast Kunlun Realm, there are only a handful.

The first person Di Yi thought of was Han Qiu, and this confirmed his guess.

The Dark Body is an extremely special physique. The higher the realm, the more terrifying the power it can unleash. If one cultivates it to perfection, with the blessing of the Dark Path, one may not be defeated even when facing the strongest physique.

But the prerequisite for all of this is to grow up.

"Han Qiu, are you afraid of me?"

Di Yi's voice was calm and gentle, but it sent a shiver down Han Qiu's spine as if she were hearing the whispers of a demon god.

Her voice trembled as she answered, "Anyone would be afraid in front of the young master of the Black Market's First-Class Hall. You... how do you know my name?"

When the emperor saw her like this, he frowned slightly. Was he really that terrifying?
After a moment's thought, he realized that what was truly terrifying was not him, but the entire black market.

For Han Qiu, a young lady who had never left Tianmo Ridge and had grown up protected within the Yuntai Sect, the name of the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall was one that inspired fear.

"You know I am the young master of the Black Market's First-Class Hall, is there anything I cannot know?"

This completely illogical explanation sounded perfectly reasonable to Han Qiu, as if it were the natural order of things.

"Why...why did you arrest me? I didn't offend you, did I?" Han Qiu asked, mustering her courage.

Di Yi smiled and said, "Since when does the black market need a reason to arrest people?"

Han Qiu was taken aback. Yes, when have the evil people in the black market ever needed a reason to do their things?

"Then what do you want to do with me? My father is the head of the Yuntai Sect, and my grandfather is a half-saint. If you harm me, they will not let you go."

Di Yi shook his head and said in a mocking tone, "Are you threatening me? A small Yuntai Sect dares to go against the Black Market's First-Class Hall. Why don't I, the young master, report to the Black Market's Saint tomorrow and ask him to come forward and see if your so-called Yuntai Sect really has such backbone?"

"No!" Han Qiu was shocked and looked up sharply, meeting God's deep eyes. It was a small matter if she died, but if she brought disaster to the entire Yuntai Sect because of her, she would not be able to rest in peace even in death.

"Don't want what?" Di Yi's voice deepened, and an invisible force swept towards Han Qiu.

"No...please don't go against the Yuntai Sect. The Yuntai Sect has never intended to oppose the Black Market Hall." Han Qiu's defenses were completely broken down, and his fear of Di Yi reached an unprecedented level.

"Are you begging me?" "Beg... I'm begging you." Two lines of tears slid down Han Qiu's cheeks. She had never experienced such a scene before, and her heart was on the verge of collapse.

Seeing her like this, the Emperor stopped threatening her and laughed, "In that case, from now on you will follow me as a maid. As long as you perform well, I will not hold the Yuntai Sect accountable. In fact, you can even receive my guidance and reach heights you never imagined in the future."

Han Qiu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of killing her. Although being a maid was a humiliating thing, being a maid for the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall didn't seem so shameful.

However, good and evil cannot coexist. Once she takes this step, she will also become a villain in the black market.

The fear between life and death is immense, and Han Qiu ultimately convinced himself that only by living does everything have value.

She looked at Di Yi seriously for the first time and found that this young master of the black market was not as scary as she had imagined up close. He was very handsome. If he were not a member of the evil path, he could be described as "a gentleman as jade, unparalleled in the world".

"Aren't you afraid that my dark nature will bring you bad luck?"

The Dark Body represents misfortune, evil, and slaughter... It is the embodiment of all evil in the world. Among the people Han Qiu knows, apart from his father and grandfather, everyone else is filled with contempt and disgust for the Dark Body, regarding it as taboo.

In her view, even the young master of the black market wouldn't give the Dark Body a friendly look.

"Dark Body?"

Emperor Yi leaned back on his throne, looked down at her, and chuckled softly: "If you weren't a being of the Dark Body, how would you be qualified to be my maid?"

"Darkness has never been an ominous sign. The reason some people say that is because they fear the power of darkness. For the strong, light and darkness, like the sword in their hand, are merely means to an end."

"Besides, you're not the only one in the world who possesses the power of darkness."

Before he finished speaking, a dense dark power gathered around Di Yi, and a deep black hole appeared behind him, exuding an aura that Han Qiu was all too familiar with.

However, this aura was ten times, a hundred times stronger than hers.

She suddenly realized that the power of darkness could not only be hidden and unknown, but could also be transformed into a powerful tool.

"Stay by my side, and I will help you control the power of the Dark Body. In fact, as long as you perform to my satisfaction, once you reach the Fish-Dragon Realm, I can teach you the Heavenly Demon Black Hole Diagram from the Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings."

"You should be grateful that you met me in Yunyang City. From this day forward, your fate will be changed."

Di Yi's words were so seductive that Han Qiu was momentarily distracted.

The Heavenly Demon Stone Carvings, one of the six legendary books, could she possibly have the opportunity to cultivate them?
The Liangyi Sect is the leader of the righteous path in the Eastern Region. Even if I learn the Yin Yi Nine Swords, will the Liangyi Sect accept me, a person with a dark body?

Han Qiu had no confidence in this at all, and she did not believe that the Liangyi Sect would teach her the sect's supreme divine skill, Taiji Xiantian Dao.

Putting aside the distinction between good and evil, meeting Di Yi seemed to be a truly life-changing opportunity for her.

"I...I'm willing to stay by your side, and I hope you won't break your promise."

“Of course.” Di Yi nodded in satisfaction. “By the way, remember to call me Young Master from now on.”

Han Qiu pursed her lips and finally gave up struggling.

"Yes, young master..."
