World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 1600: Chapter 708: One Million Skeleton Legion! Fighting for You!

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother’s opened eyes were not eyes, but two crystal stones.

Her eyes had been gouged out, with two crystal stone pupils serving as eyeballs. Although they were deceptively real, the gaze remained lifeless.

Combined with her pale yet exquisite face, it gave off an extremely eerie feeling.

It was as if this face was not real, but rather adorned with a magnificent mask.

Next, Lanling used the blood-stained dagger to slash open the sculpted faces of the other four Ghost Generals.

Just like the Rakshasa Ghost Mother, these four Ghost Generals revived one by one.

The four Ghost Generals: the first stands three meters tall, the second one meter, while the third and fourth have normal heights.

The first, third, and fourth look grim and ugly, their faces almost indistinguishable, while the second is strikingly handsome, a rare beauty among men, yet stands less than a meter tall.

These four Ghost Generals are abnormal life forms.

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother and the four Ghost Generals rose and stood before Lanling.

No one spoke, as the Rakshasa Ghost Mother extended her jade-like hand to caress Lanling’s face.

For a long time, no one spoke, then suddenly the Rakshasa Ghost Mother asked, “Where is the Ghost King’s ring?”

Lanling handed over the Ghost King Ring, and the Rakshasa Ghost Mother took it, first placing it on her chest, then beneath her nose, greedily sniffing its scent.

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother, three thousand years ago, was once a member of the Rakshasa Royal Family and suffered extreme injustice, leading to her miserable death.

The Ghost King rescued her soul and allowed it to possess her body.

But by then, her physical body had been buried for several years. Despite being preserved with medicine to prevent decay and having a lifelike form, her body remained cold and lifeless.

Furthermore, because her eyes were gouged out, she could only use crystal eyes as substitutes.

Thus, despite the Rakshasa Ghost Mother having an exquisite face, it caused a chilling sensation.

Her personality was very strange and eccentric; in her lifetime, she only followed the Ghost King.

After the four Ghost Generals awakened, none spoke, but they took the Ghost King’s ring and sniffed its scent.

These four Ghost Generals were outcasts of the Demon Race, each one being deformed, therefore abandoned by their parents, but ultimately adopted and raised by the Ghost King, becoming his loyal followers.

The Ghost King was not only their ruler but also their father.

“Alas…” Rakshasa Ghost Mother sighed deeply, filled with disappointment.

“Sir, are you the master of the Ghost King?” The Rakshasa Ghost Mother finally spoke.

Lanling was taken aback; the Rakshasa Ghost Mother had unexpectedly revealed his identity.

“Before the Ghost King left, he told us his identity. He was one of the Hell Knights under the Demon Emperor, and wanted to try a different path by establishing the Ghost King Empire. However, he failed, and he discovered things he shouldn’t have. Consequently, he faced disaster, dissolved the Ghost King Empire, and went to reincarnate and continue serving his master, which is you, the Demon Emperor.” The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said.

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother’s voice was very cold, without any emotion or respect.

“Demon Emperor, have you heard of a saying?” the Rakshasa Ghost Mother asked.

“The master of my master is not my master,” Lanling replied.

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “Indeed, it is the Demon Emperor. Your wisdom is unparalleled; you immediately knew what I wanted to say. Although you are the master of our master, all our loyalty is dedicated to our master, the Ghost King, not to you…”

Lanling said, “I understand.”

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “All our emotions are also dedicated to our great master.”

Lanling said, “I understand.”

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “Before Ghost King reincarnated, he ordered us to take the Ghost King Empire’s Imperial Guards to the Hell Sea to search for the eternal curse. But as you can see, immortality is a curse, a pain, a torment. No one can endure this torment forever; hence, Ghost King taught us the petrification technique to turn ourselves into statues to avoid eternal solitude and madness. He said the only one who could revive us in this world is his master, the Demon Emperor, so this force was left for you.”

Lanling’s gaze twitched.

Before Ghost King reincarnated, he had left such a powerful army for him.

“However…” the Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “we are loyal to Ghost King, and he will always be our master, so please forgive us for not being able to serve you. We must search for Ghost King; please understand!”

Lanling said, “I can understand.”

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “Once we find our master Ghost King, he will naturally return to serve under your command. You will always be his master, and he will always be our master. At that time, we will wholeheartedly serve you.”

Lanling understood this very well.

Just like the Rock Thieves Corps at that time, they would not directly serve Lanling; they were loyal to the Rock Queen, and the Rock Queen was loyal to Suo Lun, so the Rock Thieves Corps indirectly served Suo Lun.

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “However, since you awakened us, we owe you a great favor, so we can fight for you once! After repaying you, we will embark on the quest to find the Ghost King.”

Lanling frowned, as the Ghost King had been reincarnated and infiltrated the Dragon Temple’s inner circle, with no one knowing who the Ghost King was.

After a long silence, Lanling asked, “Do you know who the Ghost King has reincarnated into?”

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “Our master did not say, but I could guess. What would most help Lord Demon Emperor? It would undoubtedly be infiltrating the Dragon Temple’s inner circle…”

Lanling was stunned; the Rakshasa Ghost Mother had an extraordinarily deep understanding of the Ghost King.

The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “Master’s master, how about we make a transaction?”

Lanling turned to look at the four Ghost Generals.

One with gigantism, one a dwarf, two unbearably ugly.

“You don’t need to look at them; the Ghost King’s four adopted sons won’t speak,” the Rakshasa Ghost Mother said. “Master said that the mouth is the least useful thing; if one does not speak, the mind will be focused on thinking, thus becoming wiser.”

Lanling was once again surprised.

“What kind of transaction?” Lanling asked.

“You liberate us, and we will fight for you once!” the Rakshasa Ghost Mother said. “Then we will go to await our master’s return.”

“Fine, it’s a deal,” Lanling said. “But how do I liberate you?”

“You surely have a way…” The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, “Because, this world of eternal curses, was once created by you.”

“I…I built it?” Lanling was appalled.

Rakshasa Ghost Mother said: “There is an Aurora Gate that can directly connect from the Human Kingdom to the Demon Territory. Therefore, to avoid the Demon Race being completely passive, the Demon Emperor wanted to establish a Demonic Light Gate that could directly invade the Human Kingdom. However, after all, you are the Demon Emperor and not a complete Ancient Divine Demon, you didn’t complete this Demonic Light Gate, but only half-finished it, which became this world of eternal curse.”

From this passage, Lanling gained very, very crucial information.

The Demon Emperor and the Ancient Divine Demon are one, but the Demon Emperor is an incomplete Ancient Divine Demon.

The eternal curse world is a half-finished product of the Demonic Light Gate.

“In this world, only one person can lead us out of the eternal curse world, and that is you, Your Majesty!” Rakshasa Ghost Mother said.

Lanling said: “But outside, the million Imperial Guards of the Ghost King Empire have all gone mad, how can I awaken them?”

“You don’t need to awaken them, you can’t awaken them either.” Rakshasa Ghost Mother said: “You just have to open a gate to leave here, and they will naturally wake up. There are only two ways to end their pain, liberation, death!”

“Then how do you open a gate to leave the eternal curse world?” Gou Li asked.

Rakshasa Ghost Mother looked at Gou Li and said: “Are you the woman and slave of His Majesty the Demon Emperor?”

“Yes.” Gou Li said.

Rakshasa Ghost Mother’s stiff face showed envy: “You are truly fortunate to be able to follow by the master’s side, while my master remains unknown.”

Gou Li said: “I hope you find your master soon, and then come to serve my master.

“I hope so…” Rakshasa Ghost Mother said: “As for how His Majesty the Demon Emperor opens a gate to leave the eternal curse world, only His Majesty the Demon Emperor knows.”

Lanling nodded.

Then, he left this enclosed space with Gou Li.

Rakshasa Ghost Mother, along with the Four Great Ghost Generals, followed him out.

The outside world was still in furious slaughter, fighting.

Moreover, this slaughter was nearing its end, most of the people had already died.

A moment later, everyone was dead, clean.

The millions of Imperial Guards of the Ghost King Empire were all wiped out.

Their deaths lasted only twelve hours, but were also an immense pleasure.

Lanling arrived at the edge of the eternal curse world.

How to leave here?

This place wasn’t like the Ruins of Doom Magic Capital, so complex and deep, requiring exhausting effort to find a way out. It needed spatial displacement, forming spatial fissures to escape.

This eternal curse world was created by the Ancient Demon Emperor.

So, this is the domain of the Demon Emperor, a realm where Lanling can almost do as he pleases.

Lanling took a deep breath, bit his finger, and drew an arc-shaped door in the void with blood.

Then, an energy portal appeared.

This is the exit!

This eternal curse world was indeed created by the Ancient Demon Emperor, indeed a world where Lanling can freely enter and exit. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel~fire~net

After this energy portal was opened.

A bizarre scene, a stunning scene, a terrifying scene appeared.

The Imperial Guards of the Ghost King Empire, who were already completely dead, began to resurrect one by one.

Their shattered corpses once again gathered, restoring into complete bodies.

Then, one Imperial Guard of the Ghost King Empire after another stood up, their eyes returning to clarity and reason.

In the eternal curse world, only two situations can awaken these walking corpses.

Death and liberation.

And Lanling, at this time, liberated them.

Half an hour later, a full million of the Ghost King Empire’s Imperial Guards were all resurrected, conscious, and began to form ranks.

A moment later, a million Ghost King Empire’s Imperial Guards lined up neatly.

Rakshasa Ghost Mother said: “Brothers of the Imperial Guards, our great master is calling us, we have been liberated!”

The million Imperial Guards of the Ghost King Empire did not speak, but suddenly stood upright.

“In this filthy world, we are coming…” Rakshasa Ghost Mother shouted fiercely: “Return to the world, fight for the master!”

Then, Rakshasa Ghost Mother, the Four Great Ghost Generals, deeply bowed to Lanling and said: “The master’s master, the Ghost King Empire’s Imperial Guards will keep their promise and fight for you once!”

Then she and the Four Great Ghost Generals led the million Imperial Guards of the Ghost King Empire through the Demon Blood Gate created by Lanling, leaving the eternal curse world.

Outside was a vast sea.

As they stepped out of that gate, a bizarre scene appeared once again.

The flesh on their bodies turned to ashes and vanished.

Inside their armors, only snow-white bones, energy hearts, energy tendons, energy brains, energy eyes were left.

“Click, click, click…”

In the earth-shattering energy collisions.

Boundless, countless Skeleton Legions emerged from the eternal curse world into the real world.
