Chapter 619: Remake, Hope
A familiar voice resonated through the heavens and earth.
In an instant, the space suddenly cracked open, revealing a fissure, and a figure everyone was familiar with slowly walked out—it was the Celestial Emperor!
Seeing the Celestial Emperor unscathed and reappear before their eyes, everyone was shocked!
"How is it possible, you’re still not dead, how can that be!" Blade exclaimed in surprise.
"An incarnation, could it be all along we’ve been fighting against an incarnation?" Song Baiyi muttered, his face a bit pale.
For millions of years, the one resisting them was the Celestial Emperor, who had been incarnated all along. Just an incarnation had pressed the entire Celestial Domain to the point it couldn’t breathe, with no one daring to resist.
How strong must the true form be then?
It’s unimaginable, if the true form descended, would they still have a chance to survive at all.
"Don’t worry, the true form of the Celestial Emperor won’t come, it’s in seclusion, it can’t spare the time." Tianyunzi said in a deep voice.
"You knew all along?" Blade looked surprisingly at Tianyunzi, "Then why didn’t you say so before?"
"Not only do I know, Chen Lan also knows." Tianyunzi looked at Chen Lan and spoke calmly, "He knew long ago that this Celestial Emperor is an incarnation."
"Then does he know the countermeasures?" Song Baiyi looked at Tianyunzi and asked in a deep voice, "Can we really win this time?"
Even an incarnation is hard to deal with, if the true form descends, they’re undoubtedly doomed.
The opponent is only in seclusion, not unable to come out, if it comes to that, it’s possible the true form will come.
"The divine punishment you spoke of is probably the divine technique cast by the true form of the Celestial Emperor." Golden Cicada furrowed his brows at Tianyunzi.
"Yes, you’re not wrong, that’s what I think too, besides the Celestial Emperor’s true form, I can’t think of anyone else." Tianyunzi nodded.
Hearing this, everyone gasped, the one destined to destroy the Celestial Domain was actually the true form of the Celestial Emperor!
"Hahaha, I knew Lord Celestial Emperor couldn’t just die that easily!"
"A bunch of ants thinking they can kill Lord Celestial Emperor, it’s truly wishful thinking!"
"Die, all of you die!"
In an instant, countless members of the Evil Race charged at Yang Tian and the others upon realizing the Celestial Emperor wasn’t dead.
Because the Celestial Emperor wasn’t dead, their morale was even higher, but it filled Yang Tian and the others with despair.
"Demon Slayer."
At this moment, the Celestial Emperor looked at Chen Lan, a cold smile formed on its face, a hoarse and eerie voice emanated from its mouth.
Hearing this, Chen Lan gripped the Demon God Sword tightly, staring seriously at the Celestial Emperor: "If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time."
As the words fell, Chen Lan dashed forth, even if he hadn’t fully recovered, there was no turning back now.
"Ridiculous, you think I’m still the same as before? The master has reshaped me and granted me new power." The Celestial Emperor chuckled coldly, slowly extending a finger.
In an instant, a ray of extreme darkness erupted from the Celestial Emperor’s fingertip.
In just that moment, Chen Lan felt the breath of death, this strike could potentially take his life!
He swiftly raised the Demon God Sword, placing it before his chest, blocking the strike.
Boom!!!
The energy ray struck against the Demon God Sword, and Chen Lan was instantly hurled backward, like a cannonball rapidly retreating.
"Chen Lan!" Yang Tian watched as Chen Lan flew back, promptly repelling the Evil Race before racing toward Chen Lan.
Gu Changge also noticed, and wanted to drive back the Evil Race as Yang Tian did, but the Evil Race swarmed him, encircling him heavily.
"Damn things, I’m going to fight you!" Gu Changge roared, transforming into his true form.
With a golden divine light descending, a nine-clawed Divine Dragon emerged, Gu Changge’s strength surged as he began to counter the Evil Race.
... ...
Boom!!!
Spanning countless mountain ranges, sliding across the land for billions of miles, Chen Lan rolled over countless times, crashing against a mountain and stopping.
"Cough cough." Chen Lan tried to get up, felt excruciating pain in his organs, suddenly coughed, and spat out fresh blood.
"How terrifying is its power, how strong is its true form, could it be at the Emperor Dao realm?" Chen Lan thought with lingering fear, looking towards the far-off Celestial Emperor, which was also watching him.
"Chen Lan, are you okay!" Yang Tian hurriedly flew over, helping Chen Lan up.
"I’m okay, just need to recover." Chen Lan waved his hand, his Spiritual Power was already depleted.
He was incredibly weak at this moment, urgently needing to adjust his breath.
Just as Yang Tian was about to speak, the voice of the Celestial Emperor resonated through the sky.
"Demon Slayer, you’re still not dead, you really have a strong fate." The Celestial Emperor chuckled coldly, "No worries, if one strike doesn’t kill you, then the next will."
The Celestial Emperor raised his finger again, condensing black energy at the tip.
"Get away." Seeing this, Chen Lan quickly shouted for Yang Tian to move away, using all his strength to crawl up, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, but still trembled as he moved behind Yang Tian, looking at the Celestial Emperor: "You can’t block his attack, quickly take Gu Changge and leave, this time only one will die, it won’t be you."
"What kind of nonsense are you saying, if we’re dying, we’ll die together, why only one of us would die, why are you still trying to act like a hero!" Yang Tian grabbed Chen Lan and threw him behind himself.
At this moment, a black ray burst forth from the Celestial Emperor’s fingertip, directly aimed at Chen Lan.
"Ghost King Shield!!!" Yang Tian roared in anger, placing a shield composed of countless resentful souls in front of himself.
"Move away!" Chen Lan shouted in horror, there’s no way Yang Tian could withstand it, if not dead he’d be heavily injured!
But with no strength, how could he possibly catch up to the black ray.
In an instant, the ray struck the shield that Yang Tian set up, exploding violently, Chen Lan was blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground.
He climbed up, terrified, rushing toward Yang Tian’s position.
Please, nothing must happen!
His Divine Sense quickly probed for the figure inside the smoke and dust, rushing over, the person lay on the ground, but was still breathing, which made him relieved, not dead is good.
But when he looked closely at Yang Tian’s condition, he froze, his pupils shrank violently.
Yang Tian’s left arm, was gone.
"Relax, I’m not dead, just lost an arm, it can grow back another day." Yang Tian grinned.
The tone was light, but his complexion wasn’t so, extremely pale, without a trace of blood, as if he might die the next second.
Chen Lan said nothing, helping Yang Tian up.
"Can you still fight?" Yang Tian asked.
"I need to adjust my breath."
"Alright, Gu Changge and I will buy you time to adjust your breath."
"No, you’re injured too, you need to adjust your breath, let them come." Chen Lan said in a serious tone, contacted Tianyunzi through Divine Sense: "If I die, everyone will die, you must hold off the Celestial Emperor."
In the midst of battle, Tianyunzi received the Divine Sense message, his expression showed helplessness, but for the greater goal, he looked at the Celestial Emperor: "Our previous battle hasn’t been decided yet, let’s continue!"
As soon as the words fell, he pulled the Celestial Emperor into the Illusory Dream, starting a 1v1.
Seeing this, Chen Lan immediately sat cross-legged, beginning to adjust his breath.
And those of the Evil Race understood Chen Lan’s intentions, all charging towards him.
"Everyone, buy time for Chen Lan, no matter what you must hold them off!" Golden Cicada said gravely, immediately flashing to the front of the Evil Race, a true Buddha descended from above.
"Amitabha, wicked creatures, I will be your opponent, not the monk."
"And me!"
"Don’t forget, I’m Song Baiyi."
"Die, scum, if you want to harm Chen Lan, you’ll have to pass through me first!"
One after another, figures appeared before the Evil Race, facing countless foes, their steps never retreated because behind them was Chen Lan, the only hope capable of reversing this battle!
