Chapter 614: Celestial Emperor, Your Fate Is Sealed
Chen Lan squinted his eyes slightly, staring closely at the golden Divine Light. He sensed an extremely powerful and terrifying aura, yet it felt very familiar.
Soon, the Divine Light faded, revealing a tall man wearing Golden Dragon Scale Armor and holding the Dragon Bone Divine Sword. Upon a closer look, he resembled Gu Changge by nine points, but with an extra trace of dominance.
"Gu Changge?" Chen Lan asked in confusion.
Is this person in front of him really Gu Changge?
Although his appearance had slightly changed, the aura of the Dragon Dao emanating from him unmistakably belonged to the Dragon Race.
"Chen Lan!" Gu Changge ran over, laughing, "I’ve transformed into a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon, the rarest and strongest Divine Dragon of the Dragon Race. It turns out one must die once to truly transform, no wonder so many of the Dragon Race couldn’t transform into a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon."
"How much has your strength improved now?"
"Not just tenfold, the Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon is the most terrifying existence among the Dragon Race. Anyone who successfully transforms sees a tremendous increase in strength. I can now rank among the top three in the Dragon Dao."
Upon hearing Gu Changge’s words, Chen Lan smiled; his brother becoming stronger is a joyous thing.
"Let’s go. Given this, let’s have a fierce battle!"
"Alright!"
In an instant, Chen Lan and Gu Changge left, heading towards Yang Tian’s location.
Before long, Chen Lan and Gu Changge reached where Yang Tian and others were, but those three War Gods were already gone.
"All three War Gods are dead, now it’s only the Celestial Emperor left!" Yang Tian said excitedly.
He had waited a long time for this day; with the death of the five War Gods, the Celestial Emperor would soon follow.
"Chen Lan, Tianyunzi is already dealing with the Celestial Emperor, but to kill him, we need you. Your constitution is the most formidable weapon against the Evil Race," Song Baiyi said with a smile while shaking his white fan.
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan nodded slightly, "I know."
[Tianyunzi, you seek death!!!]
Just then, the world trembled as if the heavens were about to explode, and a voice echoed throughout the sky.
"It’s the Celestial Emperor’s voice!" Blade said gravely.
The battle on Tianyunzi’s side was becoming even more intense.
"Let’s hurry." Chen Lan said sternly, flying out first.
The others quickly followed, making their way towards the direction of the Celestial Emperor.
Before they arrived, they saw two figures confronting each other in the sky, the one on the right being the Celestial Emperor and the one on the left being Tianyunzi. Both appeared unscathed, as if the battle had yet to begin.
But in reality, they had long since started fighting; if not for Tianyunzi holding him back, the Celestial Emperor would have reached the battleground of the five War Gods by now.
"Celestial Emperor, you have nowhere to run." Chen Lan flashed beside Tianyunzi and spoke gravely.
The Celestial Emperor looked at the newcomers and angrily said, "Demon Slayer, I’ve let you slip away multiple times, and yet you dare to appear before me, truly courting death."
"The five War Gods are dead, you’re at the end of your rope. With so many here, you might as well consider yourself dead." Blade stood beside Chen Lan and sneered at the Celestial Emperor.
"Amitabha, I shall help you on your way." Golden Cicada clasped his hands together and spoke with closed eyes.
Song Baiyi shook his white fan, smiling faintly, "The renowned Celestial Emperor, you will die today."
"Celestial Emperor, your wicked deeds are numerous. With you around, the Celestial Domain is like a day of calamity. You deserve to die!" Gu Changge said gravely.
"Today, you shall die without a doubt!" Yang Tian declared coldly, holding his sword.
But looking at these people, the Celestial Emperor was not afraid; instead, he laughed heartily, "How amusing, so amusing. A bunch of ants really think they can kill me? This is the biggest joke of the heavens!"
He looked at Tianyunzi, his smile turning to a sneer, "Tianyunzi, since you claim to know the future, do you know what I’ll do next?"
Tianyunzi frowned. Predicting the actions of a strong opponent consumed too much energy. He had already tried too many times; he shouldn’t try again.
"Do you really think the five War Gods are the best of my subordinates?" The Celestial Emperor scanned the crowd, scoffing coldly.
In an instant, hundreds of spatial rifts appeared behind him. The endless dark space rifts hid whatever lay within.
But!
Chen Lan and the others’ pupils contracted sharply. They sensed terrifying auras from those spatial rifts, similar to their own!
Thud, thud—
A series of deafening footsteps resounded, shaking their hearts, sending a chill down everyone and creating a sense of foreboding.
In the next second, countless huge, oddly shaped beings, each holding various magical treasures, emerged from within. They marched out, their strides shaking the heavens, causing countless stars to quiver.
From the hundreds of space rifts, emerged an Evil Race army over tens of billions strong!
Witnessing the unfathomable Evil Race army, everyone was shocked; they hadn’t expected that so many of the Evil Race existed, and dozens among them exuded the same Divine Realm aura!
"Greetings, Celestial Emperor!!!"
In an instant, countless members of the Evil Race knelt down with a boom, bowing toward the Celestial Emperor.
Standing with his back to them, the Celestial Emperor watched Chen Lan and the others with a sneer, "So, how does it feel? This is the army I’ve hidden in the Celestial Domain for millions of years; what will you few use to fight against it?"
Looking at this overwhelming Evil Race army, their malevolent aura permeating the sky, enveloping it in utter darkness, a heaviness settled in their hearts.
"So many Evil Races... can we really do it?" Yang Tian asked gravely, turning to Chen Lan.
This is way too many, and they are too few. Can they really manage it?
"There’s no escape now, and nothing to regret dying with you all," Gu Changge said with a faint smile.
"Shut up, can’t you say something nicer?" Yang Tian glared coldly at Gu Changge.
"Alright, alright, with so many Evil Races, it’s all over." Gu Changge sighed, frustrated by encountering so many Evil Races right after transforming into a Nine-Clawed Divine Dragon.
Meanwhile, Song Baiyi and others looked at Tianyunzi, seemingly asking him if they could truly win this time.
Chen Lan also turned to look at Tianyunzi, "Is this the only victory you’ve spoken of?"
Tianyunzi remained silent for a moment, "Heaven’s secrets cannot be divulged, or they lose efficacy."
Hearing this, Chen Lan was speechless.
"Alright, asking you is pointless." Chen Lan quipped, turning to the Celestial Emperor, a cold gleam in his eyes, as he called forth the Demon God Sword.
"Since we don’t know if this is a guaranteed victory, we have no way out now. With the five War Gods dead, should we just give up?"
After speaking, he looked around at everyone, meeting each one’s gaze.
"Right, Chen Lan’s right, we’re already here. Let’s give it all we’ve got, even if it means dying," Gu Changge grinned.
"I truly envy your optimism." Yang Tian shook his head with a bitter smile, his eyes turning cold as he summoned his long sword, speaking coldly, "Chen Lan, your daughter is already in a safe place. You can fight without reserve."
"I have no objections either, I’ve waited long enough for this day." Blade chuckled coldly, unsheathing a large blade, fixing his gaze on the Evil Race and began sharpening his weapon.
"A gentleman knows there is a time to die, whether sooner or later; better to die honorably." Song Baiyi said with a faint smile, waving his fan.
"Amitabha, this humble monk will accompany you all to the end."
Hearing these words, Chen Lan smiled, looking toward the Celestial Emperor. The mighty demonic power shook the heavens, his voice echoing across the land.
"Celestial Emperor, your fate is sealed."
