Chapter 1195 - Beating Him at His Own Game
“How about it, brat? Help me out, and I’ll overlook your earlier disrespect. I can even grant you perfect wisdom, enough to grasp the laws of heaven and earth, forge your immortal platform, and ascend in one step to immortality.”
Like blood-red lanterns, the Blood Emperor’s eyes gleamed with a hypnotic light. His voice brimmed with temptation; anyone listening would feel compelled to agree.
Surprise appeared on Chen Fan’s face, and he said, “Grasp the laws, forge my immortal platform? Is that really possible? Won’t I explode from the overload? Senior Blood Emperor, don’t lie to me.”
A flicker of joy passed through the Blood Emperor’s eyes. He hurriedly said, “What are you saying? I am an Immortal Emperor. Even in the thirty-three heavenly domains, I can summon the wind and the rain, even turn beans into soldiers. My word is law. Granting you the wisdom and forging your platform is a trifling matter. As for exploding, nonsense! With me involved, how could that possibly happen? What you’ve just said is yet another grave insult.”
His voice turned cold, tinged with anger at Chen Fan’s doubt.
Chen Fan’s eyeballs trembled violently, looking extremely tempted—yet hesitation lingered, as if an inner struggle held him back.
Noticing his internal struggle, the emperor felt even happier. Seizing the moment, he said, “Brat, rest easy. As an Immortal Emperor, why would I deceive someone in the Manifestation realm? Frankly, you wouldn’t even qualify to stand before me if not for the special circumstances now.”
Hoo, hoo.
His words seemed to land, as Chen Fan’s trembling gaze steadied. He took two deep breaths and said, “Of course, I wouldn’t doubt Senior’s words. Since that is the case, please make a move. In that case, please begin. Grab the laws of heaven and earth and help me cast my immortal platform.”
The Blood Emperor’s expression froze, then turned slightly awkward. He gave a dry chuckle. “Hoho, of course. This is but a minor task for me. However, there are... certain limitations. Even though I am an Immortal Emperor with boundless powers, my primordial spirit is currently bound by the Dawn Suppression Iron Chains, weakening me greatly. I can still help, but the risk will be significantly higher.”
“Oh? So what Senior Blood Emperor said earlier is all empty talk, then? You can’t do it?”
A look of disappointment appeared on Chen Fan’s face.
