Chapter 589: You Make Me Sick
Chen Lan felt that he had found the flaw of the Twin Charm Gods.
With the blade before him, Chen Lan retreated swiftly, easily parrying with his weapon, but heard the two speak in unison: "Linghua Sword Shadow."
Instantly, the sound of swords clanging rose sharply, and countless sword shadows surrounded Chen Lan, dazzling and confusing.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless sharp swords flew towards him, and Chen Lan used an elegant body technique to dodge continuously. Endless Demonic Qi poured into the Demon God Sword in his hand, which buzzed and transformed into countless blades to counterattack effortlessly, breaking the array.
The two girls approached, their swift sword technique striking like thunder. Chen Lan wielded a sword in one hand and a spear in the other, blocking blow after blow with apparent ease.
"If I guessed correctly, you two are a twin body; if one dies, the other will too." Chen Lan sneered.
A twin body, one of the special constitutions, possesses terrifying abilities. When one trains, the other grows as well. If both train simultaneously, it amounts to double the training speed, and their comprehension is cumulative, achieving a 1+1=2 effect.
Moreover, the most terrifying aspect is that this constitution is not unique; it’s more like a capability. They can awaken other constitutions as well.
At present, it is unclear what their true constitution is, but the flaw is known: kill one, and the other will die.
Hearing Chen Lan’s words, the Twin Charm Gods looked shocked; Chen Lan had discerned their constitution.
It was indeed a twin body; if one dies, the other follows, living and dying together.
Seeing the shock in the two girls’ eyes, Chen Lan knew he was right. This made things easier; targeting one would suffice.
He fixed on the one on the left, who still had Demonic Qi in her abdomen, making her easier to identify and target.
In an instant, he charged at the one on the left, sword aimed at her throat.
However, the Twin Charm Gods seemed to have caught on to his intent. The two constantly shifted positions to confuse Chen Lan, trying to make it difficult for him to tell who was who.
Chen Lan sneered. No matter how they switched positions, the Demonic Qi wouldn’t deceive him; he could still differentiate them.
"Heaven and Earth as the Cage!"
Just then, a voice resounded through the heavens, and an enormous array descended from above, enveloping them.
"Not good, space is locked. If this array successfully encloses us, we won’t be able to escape!" Yang Tian shouted in terror.
"It’s the Array God; that person has arrived!" Gu Changge exclaimed in surprise.
The fifth War God, the Array God, had arrived. His skills in array formations were extraordinary; with just a word, an array would follow, able to set countless arrays with a single thought.
At this moment, the five War Gods under the Celestial Emperor’s command gathered together. The three of them were not opponents!
"Heaven and Earth as the Cage!" The emergence of the array interrupted Chen Lan’s offensive. He swiftly retreated and regrouped with Gu Changge and Yang Tian, the three standing shoulder to shoulder, looking extremely serious.
"This array is one of the ancient formations, wiped out for tens of millions of years. I once heard an Old Demon mention that once this array is deployed, no creature within the spatial area can escape. It’s akin to a cage, and the longer one’s inside, the more the energy within is absorbed, eventually turning into a dried corpse!" Chen Lan spoke solemnly.
He didn’t know where the array’s core was. To break it, he had to destroy the core or use absolute strength to break free from the array. There was also one last method: setting up an array that counteracts it—the Great Relocation Array of Heaven and Earth!
But he didn’t know how...
"Attack a single place with all our might," Yang Tian said coldly.
If the three of them attacked the same spot with all their strength, they might break open the array.
"It’s useless; while we can attack, they can defend. With all five of them channeling energy into the array, it will only get stronger. But we can kill them all," Gu Changge said gravely.
"Correct, this array has its weaknesses," Chen Lan nodded, then revealed the array’s flaws.
This Heaven and Earth Cage not only trapped them but also Sword Tian, the Talisman God, and the Twin Charm Gods were inside. The flaw in attacking those within the array was they had to enter the array themselves.
The array was originally created to control others, mostly used to seal powerful enemies like the Gods and Demons. Later, due to the appearance of the Great Relocation Array of Heaven and Earth, this array became unknown, slowly fading away and becoming known as an Absolute Array. It was unclear where the Array God learned it from.
"Then let’s kill them all," Yang Tian said gravely.
Though uncertain if they could kill them, it was still worth a desperate fight.
Chen Lan was confident he could escape under their siege, but he wasn’t confident he could take Gu Changge and Yang Tian with him. Sacrifice was inevitable.
"I’m sorry, it’s my fault," Gu Changge said in guilt.
If he hadn’t come to attack the Human Domain, Chen Lan and Yang Tian wouldn’t be in danger.
"This isn’t the time for that; we can apologize afterward," Chen Lan said with a faint smile as he turned his head.
Seeing this, Gu Changge was taken aback, then nodded heavily, "Hmm."
However, Chen Lan’s eyes dimmed slightly. He wasn’t sure if he could take the two of them, but he wouldn’t die here.
[Demon Slayer]
At this moment, a voice boomed through the skies, deafening, carrying majestic divine might, shattering their hearts and souls!
With just three words, Chen Lan and the others felt unprecedented pressure, the suppression weighing heavily upon them!
"The Celestial Emperor!" Yang Tian shouted in terror.
This pressure, this aura, it was all too familiar—it was the Celestial Emperor!
"If he has come, can we still survive?" Gu Changge said in despair.
He was hopeless; he never expected the five War Gods and the Celestial Emperor to be here. This time, there was truly no escape.
Chen Lan looked troubled. With the Celestial Emperor here, he could only strive to protect himself.
"Everyone, give it your all," Chen Lan said calmly.
The other two nodded heavily, faces grim and eyes firm as they stared into the sky.
"Heh, you three are doomed to die today. With the Celestial Emperor personally taking action," Sword Tian sneered.
With five War Gods and the Celestial Emperor, along with Heaven and Earth Cage, the three were like fish in a barrel, unable to escape!
The others sneered as well. The rumored Demon Slayer would finally meet their end today!
[Demon Slayer!]
Amidst the awe-inspiring divine might, a figure appeared above the five War Gods, clad in a golden robe, gigantic in stature, yet his visage was obscured, exuding an extremely mysterious and evil aura.
Upon seeing this, the five War Gods knelt in unison: "Celestial Emperor!"
Was this the Celestial Emperor?
Chen Lan squinted, realizing that he too was at the Divine Dao level, but his aura was clearly much stronger—a Peak Divine Daoist?
The Celestial Emperor stood with hands behind his back, looking at Chen Lan, who gazed back at him, their auras locked in confrontation, sword against sword!
"I’ve heard your name, and today I finally see you. The aura around you makes me uncomfortable, disgusted," Chen Lan spoke calmly.
The Celestial Emperor emanated an extraordinarily sinister aura, pure evil, devoid of any benevolence.
He had met such people, born with an evil seed, acting without logic or purpose, yet performing unspeakably malevolent deeds to satiate an inner malice, doing things that baffle and terrify others.
[You make me feel disgusted as well]
