Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 433: The Calamity-Breaker, Underworld’s Annihilation!
"Lady, save me!"
The Celestial Emperor trembled and cried out in fear. If Lady Houtu didn’t save him, he was doomed!
If he had known Ye Lan was this sinister, he wouldn’t have acted.
"Alas, a sin indeed. I asked you to find the one to break the catastrophe, yet you offended the very person destined to break it. The Underworld will be destroyed by your hands sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, the Celestial Emperor’s eyes widened as he looked at Chen Lan in shock and asked, "Ye Lan is the one to break the catastrophe?!"
As he uttered these words, his body suddenly shook. The character ’Lan’, which means water, wasn’t that a sign all along!
The person he had been searching all along was the very person he had offended; was this some kind of joke on him?
Meanwhile, Chen Lan slightly furrowed his brows after hearing Lady Houtu’s words and spoke lightly, "I am not the one to break the catastrophe. On the contrary, I am the bringer of disasters to the Underworld."
"Young friend, don’t rush, let me explain slowly. In the near future, the Underworld will face an unprecedented catastrophe. Not only the Underworld, but the entire Desolate Celestial Realm will face calamities, and you are the one to break them."
"Oh? What does that have to do with me? The destruction of the Desolate Celestial Realm would be a blessing for me, why should I break it?" Chen Lan laughed, eager for the downfall of the Desolate Celestial Realm. How could he be the one to break the catastrophe?
"This catastrophe will lead to the extinction of immortals, demons, ghosts, and humans alike. Even the innocent will be dragged into it. The Desolate Celestial Realm will vanish into the cosmos..."
"Stop, if you intend to guilt-trip me, sorry, it won’t work." Chen Lan interrupted Lady Houtu. To him, whether the people of the Desolate Celestial Realm lived or died was none of his concern; they brought it upon themselves.
"But what if Blue Star also gets implicated?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lan’s heart shook slightly, "Senior, please speak clearly."
"Once the Desolate Celestial Realm is wiped out, Blue Star will undoubtedly be next, because this catastrophe is brought by you."
Chen Lan was suddenly shocked, his pupils constricted violently. The catastrophe was his doing?
Even the Celestial Emperor was stunned, surprised as he looked at Chen Lan, a catastrophe brought by one person was enough to annihilate the entire world!
"You do not belong to this world, nor do you belong to Blue Star. You are from the distant Celestial Domain. In the vast cosmos with countless worlds, the planets you now see are only what others want you to see. Without sufficient power, you will never see the full cosmos."
Lady Houtu’s words were filled with explosive information, causing Chen Lan’s entire being to tremble, his breathing quickened.
He thought he could see the edge of the cosmos, having traveled its expanse. But it was only what they wanted him to see; the true cosmos was beyond his reach!
The strength of the enemy, he couldn’t even begin to imagine.
"Why am I both the bringer and the breaker of the catastrophe?"
"To untie a bell, one must first know how it was tied. You are the only one who can break the catastrophe. Millions of years ago, you descended into the Desolate Celestial Realm, met me, Nuwa, and others. To protect yourself, you had us seal you for millions of years while you searched for a way to break the situation. Until a million years ago, you sent us a message, saying you had found a way. A million years later would be the time to break it, but since then, you vanished without a trace."
"We thought you might have perished, but who would have known you used the Secret Technique to embark on a second life, becoming a new legend in the Desolate Celestial Realm. The second life had memories of the first, but this third life holds none of the earlier memories. When you regain your first life’s memories, all will become clear, though our understanding is limited."
Upon hearing Lady Houtu’s words, Chen Lan fell into silence, but inside, the Celestial Emperor was already blown away, surprised at Chen Lan’s terrifying identity. Living through three lives, solely to break the catastrophe; such determination was terrifying beyond measure!
"Even so, the Celestial Emperor, I must kill," Chen Lan stated firmly. The Celestial Emperor must die, no matter what!
At these words, the Celestial Emperor’s body trembled, terrified to the point of choking, while Lady Houtu remained silent. After a long pause, Houtu’s voice finally echoed in the air, "Please grant him a swift end."
Instantly, the Celestial Emperor shuddered violently, suddenly looking up and shouting, "Ye Lan, I..."
Before he could finish, the world spun around him, two cold flashes streaked by, and his head was sliced off without giving him time to react, not even to register the pain; decapitated in an instant, his soul obliterated by the sword, perishing completely!
A truly swift end!
"Now, has the young friend’s anger subsided?"
"No, I want the entire Underworld destroyed," Chen Lan shook his head, determined to see it through; the Underworld must be annihilated.
Lady Houtu fell silent once more, and Chen Lan gripped his weapon tightly; if Lady Houtu intended to kill him, he would fight to the death.
"Alas, it’s all a sin, a total sin. We beg you to spare the Underworld, people can be killed, but please don’t erase the Underworld."
"Fine," nodded Chen Lan. He had always planned on killing the people, the Underworld had its use to him.
"Thank you, young friend. We shall meet again in the not-too-distant future."
As soon as she finished, Chen Lan felt the terrifying presence dissipate, and the Ghost Mirror slowly shattered before exploding like glass.
Outside, people saw the Ghost Mirror break and looked over with excitement and tension.
Especially the Ten Halls of Yama, eager to see the Celestial Emperor kill Ye Lan and appear with his head.
But when Chen Lan appeared alone in the sky, everyone was aghast, the Ten Halls of Yama in particular widened their eyes, their hearts skipping a beat.
"His Highness the Celestial Emperor..." King Yama spoke in horror, not seeing His Highness, could it be he was already dead?!
"The Celestial Emperor is dead, the Underworld has a new ruler, leave none alive!" Chen Lan spoke plainly, his voice reaching everyone’s ears.
Their suspicions confirmed, the Ten Halls of Yama fell into complete despair. The invincible figure in their minds had perished, killed by Ye Lan!
"Kill!!!" Forbidden Heaven shouted excitedly, he knew his master could do it.
In an instant, Forbidden Heaven led countless members of the Demon Race, annihilating all the ghosts and ghost cultivators of the Underworld. Millions of ghosts and ghost cultivators were slaughtered without mercy; they had harmed Luo Tao and others, and were traitors to Blue Star. Although ascending is natural, these people were enemies, and no mercy was to be shown!
Half an hour later, the Ten Halls of Yama perished in despair, their souls dispersing beyond resurrection. Countless Underworld ghosts and ghost cultivators were wiped out completely, not a single one left.
However, this battle was far from over!
Chen Lan looked up towards Netherworld City, where Luo Tao and others awaited, a place more dangerous than the Underworld. Once there, he might not return.
For that place held the Dao Emperor and more people than the Underworld.
Yet he had reasons he must go!
"Forbidden Heaven, rest for now. Tomorrow, we battle anew."
"Yes, Master!"
