Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game

Gazing at the enormous Buddha statue, countless beings felt a profound shock in their hearts. Hearing the statue’s words, they trembled both physically and mentally.

Is this Buddha defying the Celestial Emperor?

For so many years, the Celestial Domain has lived under the shadow of the Evil Race, and no one dared to resist. They have always endured adversity without complaint, as long as they could survive; dignity, after all, didn’t matter.

But now, the Demon Emperor has returned, that legendary figure who once ruled the Celestial Domain without the iniquities of the Evil Race, has returned to awaken their long-extinguished sense of dignity.

They thought no one would follow, but unexpectedly, the first to stand up was from the Buddha Domain, the one who first betrayed. Since ancient times, the Domain Realm that has been at odds with the Demon Realm, those Buddhists who constantly spoke of slaying demons, turned out to be the first to step forward!

"I never expected the Buddha Domain would be the first to stand up and openly challenge the Evil Race."

"Damn Evil Race, they killed so many of us just to find the Demon Emperor, utterly mad."

"Foolish! Even if he stands out, so what? The Celestial Emperor of the Evil Race is incredibly powerful; none of us can contend with him. Even if we could kill him, there are still beings more powerful than the Celestial Emperor in the higher realms."

"With the Demon Emperor out, perhaps the Evil Race will stop slaughtering the innocent."

Even with the emergence of Golden Cicada, no one dared to stand out. The oppression of the Evil Race was terrifying, their courage had withered away long ago, disappearing along with their dignity.

...

Human Domain.

On a pavilion of the Immortal Pavilion, an elderly man with white hair appeared, hands behind his back, gazing at the distant colossal Buddha statue with a faint smile.

"Grandfather, after so many years, someone has finally stood up to resist the Evil Race." At this moment, a young girl appeared out of thin air behind the old man, speaking excitedly.

"Indeed, I didn’t expect the Buddha would be the first to stand up and support the Demon Emperor." The old man replied with a gentle smile.

"Who exactly is the Demon Emperor? I’ve heard tales of him, but never met him. I truly wish to see him in person."

"He is a defiant individual." The old man chuckled.

In other words, he is an arrogant person who crushed his own Celestial Destiny Pearl.

Arrogant enough to consider the heavens as his stepping stone, he walks the path to the heavens with ease, never reversing course.

What an audacious and reckless person to think so, as every person in cultivation considers it defying the heavens to seize eternal life, achieve the Great Dao, and become the supreme being of the world.

Instead, that individual shattered his Celestial Destiny Pearl, bestowed upon him, believing there was no need to defy fate, because even the heavens could not stop him, and without obstruction, what rebellion was there!

"Oh? Grandfather, do you know him?" the girl asked curiously.

"I had a brief encounter." The old man smiled.

"Should we help the Demon Emperor?"

"No need, someone will naturally assist him. The world is already on the brink of destruction, now that someone has stood up, those old fellows will surely find it hard to restrain themselves."

The old man turned and glanced into the distance, where the Celestial Emperor resided.

"Soon, the Celestial Domain will be turned upside down, but what awaits is not rebirth."

Hearing this, the girl pondered her grandfather’s words, unable to understand the meaning.

...

Elsewhere, Chen Lan was still entangled with the Five War Gods when he heard the voice of Golden Cicada and saw the enormous Buddha statue.

Unexpectedly, it was Golden Cicada who first stood up, which gave him some comfort.

Indeed, he hadn’t misjudged him. Golden Cicada was a true Buddhist Daoist, unlike those whose Buddha Hearts had long been broken.

[Golden Cicada, since you seek death, I shall grant your wish!]

At this time, the voice of the Celestial Emperor resonated through the heavens, causing Chen Lan to frown, feeling uneasy.

No, Golden Cicada cannot handle the Celestial Emperor.

"Heh, a bald fool, truly has a death wish." Sword Heaven sneered, looking ahead at Chen Lan, and shouting, "Demon Slayer, you’re the next to die!"

Chen Lan remained silent, accelerating wildly, while also observing the situation on Golden Cicada’s side.

Being chased by the Five War Gods, he couldn’t spare himself to save Golden Cicada, hoping that he could find his own way through.

Buzz!!!

Suddenly, a sword hum resonated through the world, and Chen Lan looked on in surprise, noticing a black Sword Qi shooting from afar towards the Buddha statue.

The length of the Sword Qi stretched endlessly, emanating divine majesty, causing the space to emit explosive sounds, shaking the skies.

This was the assault of the Celestial Emperor. The opponent truly deserved the title of a Divine Daoist with a hundred paths, terrifying as expected.

But with such a terrifying sword, could Golden Cicada withstand it? Even if he did, what about the subsequent onslaught?

The Buddha statue moved, pushing forward with its right palm, intending to block the sword with its palm!

Rumble!!!

Sword Qi raged, slashing across the giant palm with a resounding boom, unimpeded, piercing directly through the Buddha statue, cleaving it from the neck!

Boom!

The head of the Buddha statue slightly tilted before crashing down, striking the ground heavily with a tremendous roar, shaking the earth and mountains.

The Buddha statue was annihilated with one sword, gradually dispersing. Chen Lan’s Divine Sense could see Golden Cicada’s body wavering, about to fall from the sky.

Countless people witnessed this scene, gasping in shock.

"The Celestial Emperor is still too strong. He destroyed the Buddha statue with just one sword, unmatched."

"Is the Demon Emperor truly his match? But I am certain, this monk is definitely not a match."

"Self-inflicted ruin cannot be lived."

"You must understand, you can do anything, but never mock those with courage. At least he dared to take action; would you dare? I certainly wouldn’t dare to challenge the Evil Race."

Countless people anxiously watched Golden Cicada, concerned for his safety.

Warriors should not be ridiculed!

Golden Cicada’s figure trembled slightly, quickly steadied, then he opened his eyes, shouting coldly: "Celestial Emperor, come out for a fight!"

[Golden Cicada, even the Demon Slayer didn’t aid you, why do you seek your own death?]

In the distance, the cold laughter of the Celestial Emperor echoed.

Hearing this, Chen Lan understood what the Celestial Emperor intended. He aimed to break Golden Cicada’s Buddha Heart, killing him with one move, both physically and spiritually.

"This is something I want to do. The Evil Race commits numerous atrocities, slaughtering the innocent indiscriminately, and I cannot just stand by and watch!"

As his voice fell, Golden Cicada fiercely unleashed a palm strike towards a certain direction, a giant Buddha palm crashing towards the forest, annihilating dozens of Evil Race beings who were slaughtering innocents in an instant!

Indeed, he could not just stand by.

His Buddha Heart would not allow him to watch these innocent lives perish at the hands of the Evil Race. This race should not exist and should be annihilated.

At this moment, a figure appeared not far from Golden Cicada. Seeing this, Chen Lan narrowed his eyes—that was the Celestial Emperor!

The Celestial Emperor stood with hands behind his back, looking down at Golden Cicada. Faceless, his presence was extremely mysterious, yet the aura he exuded was fearsome.

"Since so, then you shall die."

As his words fell, the Celestial Emperor extended a finger, a pure black Energy Beam shooting out from his fingertip, rushing towards Golden Cicada.

Golden Cicada’s eyes widened in an instant, perceiving an extremely terrifying aura of death from this Energy Beam!

This move would be fatal!!

[Break!]
