Chapter 597: The Deranged Celestial Emperor
"It’s simple, attract them and have them chase me, so they won’t find their way here, and you’ll be much safer."
Not only can it attract hatred, but it can also bring the five War Gods as sparring partners. If I can slay one of them, all the better.
"We could do that too. We can split up, wouldn’t that be even better?" Gu Changge suggested.
"No, your skills are too weak. Once you’re caught, it’s hard to escape. I’m confident I can retreat unscathed from the encirclement of the five War Gods. Can you?" Chen Lan retorted.
Hearing this, Gu Changge and Yang Tian were stunned, bowing their heads in shame. They couldn’t manage it.
If they were really surrounded, they could only await death.
Though Chen Lan had challenged fewer Daos, never forget that his physique is the Devouring Demon God Body, with a perfect constitution, practically invincible.
"Alright, I can’t argue with you. Since you insist on going, take care and don’t die." Gu Changge sighed.
He thought for a moment, still too weak, going up there would only hold him back.
Might as well stay below, striving to comprehend the Dao, then catch the Evil Race off guard later.
Afterward, Gu Changge and Yang Tian didn’t say much and left.
Chen Lan stood on the Heaven and Earth Transposition Array, waiting for Old Demon to activate the array.
"Father!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. Chen Lan’s body jolted, turning to the sound.
He saw the Witch running toward him with tears like raindrops, throwing herself into his arms, clinging tightly, sobbing audibly.
Chen Lan felt at a loss, gently patting the Witch’s back, smiling: "It’s alright, I’ll be back soon."
"You must come back alive." The Witch lifted her head, her eyes red from crying, making Chen Lan’s heart ache.
He reached out to wipe away her tears, nodding earnestly: "I will definitely come back."
"Pinky swear."
Hearing this, Chen Lan was taken aback. It had been ages since he tried this, a child’s game.
But he still extended his little finger, and the Witch hooked it: "Pinky swear, you can’t break your promise."
"Hmm."
Upon hearing Chen Lan’s affirmative answer, the Witch slowly released him, stepping back, still worriedly watching Chen Lan.
"Demon Emperor, I’m starting now." Old Demon said solemnly. Once the teleportation array activated, Chen Lan would be instantly sent to the Celestial Domain.
"The Heaven and Earth Transposition Array can only be activated once every half a month. Demon Emperor, please proceed with caution." Old Demon added, then initiated the array!
In an instant, the array shone with golden light, runes flickering, about to transport.
Chen Lan nodded slightly, looking at his daughter: "Wait for my return."
"Hmm, you must return safely. Mother didn’t name me, name me something nice when you return."
Chen Lan’s body trembled, just about to speak, when a golden light enveloped him, making him disappear instantly.
Seeing Chen Lan leave, the Witch seemed to lose all strength, collapsing to the ground, worriedly watching the slowly fading golden light.
Father, you must return safely...
...
Outside.
Chen Lan was randomly transported to a mountaintop, immediately altering his appearance into a monk, wearing a kasaya, with a shaved head, suppressing his demonic qi, slightly glowing with Buddhist light, looking like a monk.
Now that the Ghost Realm and Demon Realm have been relocated, transforming into either ghost or demon wouldn’t work, let alone human, as the Evil Race knows he’s originally from the Human Race.
Only the Buddha Domain, which he already eradicated, could serve as an excuse.
Suddenly, Chen Lan sensed several familiar auras approaching rapidly in his direction. They were the Evil Race!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In an instant, several Evil Race members landed before Chen Lan, their bodies towering, wielding weapons, sizing up Chen Lan.
"Buddhist?" The leading Evil Race member spoke coldly.
"Amitabha, this poor monk hails from the Buddha Domain, escaped from there some time ago. What do the seniors require?"
"Kill him, the Celestial Emperor commands, slaughter any race on sight without exception, the Demon Slayer could disguise as any of them." The leading Evil Race member hesitated not, immediately giving the order.
Instantly, the remaining Evil Race members charged at Chen Lan, eyes filled with killing intent.
Chen Lan’s eyes narrowed, never expecting that even in disguise, it was useless. The Evil Race had already started indiscriminate slaughter just to root him out.
In that case, there’s no need to hide.
Chen Lan waved his hand, reverting to his original form, summoning the Demon God Sword, stabbing it into one of the Evil Race members, fully absorbing its energy, reducing it to ashes.
"Demon Slayer!!"
"It’s the Demon Slayer!"
"Quick, summon everyone here!"
The remaining Evil Race members were utterly shocked, not expecting that a random Buddha Domain person would turn out to be the disguised Demon Slayer. Lucky or unfortunate?
They wanted to signal, but Chen Lan wouldn’t give them the chance, flickering with swift speed to the other Evil Race members, stabbing sword after sword into their heads or chests, absorbing energy, instantaneously refining them.
Instantly, only the leading Evil Race member remained, pale with fear, retreating continuously, not even having the time to use the Magical Treasure intended for summoning, before being pierced through the chest by Chen Lan, soul and energy absorbed, reduced to ashes.
After absorbing the soul, Chen Lan began digesting the Evil Race member’s memory, his eyes turning cold and furious.
"What a Celestial Emperor, what an Evil Race, pure evil." Chen Lan spoke coldly.
In the memory, four months ago, the Celestial Emperor was enraged, ordering all Evil Race members to start indiscriminate slaughter, leaving no race unscathed, killing on sight just to root him out.
In four months, countless races perished under the Evil Race, even Demon Beasts were to die, sparing neither children nor elders, slaughtered on the spot.
Just to root him out, they wouldn’t hesitate to wipe out all races in the Celestial Domain, utterly maddened!
If he didn’t emerge soon, the entire Celestial Domain might be annihilated by the Evil Race, exterminating an entire world’s creatures just to kill him, now that’s true evil.
From the moment he saw the Celestial Emperor, he sensed that pure evil in him, but never expected such madness.
Cannot be left alive!
Looks like he has to replan his strategy, aren’t they looking for him?
Then let them come.
Chen Lan slowly ascended, standing in the firmament, demonic qi condensing in his throat, calling out coldly.
"I am the Celestial Domain Demon Emperor, the Evil Race massacres the innocent, cold and ruthless, how long will you all endure?"
The mighty divine presence, reigning supreme over the Celestial Domain, the roaring strong voice, shaking the world!
Demonic qi surged to the sky, engulfing the firmament, dark clouds gathering, thunder rolling!
Chen Lan’s voice spread throughout the Celestial Domain, any race could hear it clearly, as if it echoed right by their ears.
In an instant, countless people looked toward the sound, seeing a figure reflected beneath the red Cang Lei, towering, mysterious, and exuding supreme demonic might!
Countless Evil Race members were astounded, the Demon Slayer dared to appear so openly!
[Demon Slayer, I thought you had turned into a turtle and wouldn’t dare come out.]
