Becoming Great Emperor by Playing Game-Chapter 512: Primordial Venerable
Celestial Court.
The vast Celestial Court was now left with only the Jade Emperor, as the celestial soldiers and generals had long departed upon hearing that the demon army was approaching. They were all afraid!
The Jade Emperor sat upon the Immortal Throne of the Lingxiao Palace, gazing at the empty hall before him, and let out a deep sigh.
"How lamentable, had I known he was the Demon Emperor, I would never have provoked him!" The Jade Emperor shook his head in regret.
The celestial soldiers and generals were dismissed by him, leaving only a few generals willing to die fighting by his side, while the rest had fled.
But he would not lose. He had already used a Secret Technique to contact the three Celestial Venerables, who would return immediately. Once they reached the Celestial Court, they might not be defeated!
At this moment, an old man appeared out of thin air, gently stroking his long white beard and flicking the Buddha Dust to his back, bowing with clasped hands, "Jade Emperor, have the three Celestial Venerables sent any reply?"
"Yes, they will return soon."
"That’s good; we still have hope." Taishang Laojun nodded, saying that as long as the three Celestial Venerables returned, there was still hope.
"What about over at Lingshan?" asked the Jade Emperor.
"Alas." Taishang Laojun shook his head and sighed, "Once they heard it was the Demon Emperor, they dared not come. They’re all hiding in Lingshan, too afraid to emerge."
"Heh, even the Buddhist Sect. That coward Tathagata. Wasn’t he supposed to subdue demons? Now, with such a formidable demon right here, he remains unseen." The Jade Emperor sneered coldly, feeling disheartened.
No one was there to assist them; one ally after another stood by and watched, too frightened to venture out upon hearing it was the Demon Emperor.
When he sought assistance from the Underworld, he discovered it had long since been destroyed, leaving him feeling even more desolate and isolated.
Then, a figure appeared out of nowhere, and upon seeing the visitor, both the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun were shocked, retreating repeatedly. The Jade Emperor even fell from the Immortal Throne, scrambling back in panic.
"Demon Emperor!" The Jade Emperor cried out in terror, staring wide-eyed at Chen Lan before him, his heart racing.
How could this happen so suddenly, without any sound at all?
"Old Jade Emperor, long time no see." Chen Lan smiled faintly, walking slowly toward the Immortal Throne, sitting down steadily, and stroking the Immortal Jade-crafted throne. "Not bad, it’s quite comfortable to sit on."
"How did you come here so suddenly?" The Jade Emperor stood up, calling forth his long sword in alarm.
"Why, do I need to inform you in advance?" Chen Lan smiled faintly, looking at the Jade Emperor.
The invisible pressure made the Jade Emperor bow his head, not daring to meet his gaze, as his hands trembled uncontrollably.
How could this happen, how did he suddenly come, what should be done now, the three Celestial Venerables might still be on their way.
"Surrender to me, and I can spare your life," Chen Lan said flatly.
The grudge between him and the Jade Emperor was insignificant; his primary purpose here was to rescue Yang Jian.
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor’s body shook, and he looked at Chen Lan in surprise, tempted.
Death, who wants to die? He certainly didn’t want to die.
Just as he was about to agree, a sudden change occurred in the sky; dark clouds gathered, and lightning and thunder roared.
Chen Lan slightly raised his eyes, a faint smile emerging on his lips, "It seems, you’ve invited others."
"The Celestial Venerables are coming!" Taishang Laojun exclaimed joyfully.
"What demon dares to attack the Celestial Court!" A voice boomed from the sky.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in midair, standing beneath the dark clouds. His face was young, hands behind his back, exuding an aura of terror with every gesture, and those eyes that looked down upon the world saw nothing as worthy of note.
In his lofty posture, he looked at Chen Lan, who joined his fingers, "You, are the Demon Emperor?"
"Primordial Venerable Lord!" Taishang Laojun urgently flew to the side of the Primordial Venerable, pointing at Chen Lan, "He is the Demon Emperor, named Ye Lan, also known as Chen Lan."
Upon hearing this, the Primordial Venerable looked at Chen Lan and spoke coldly: "No matter if you are a Demon Emperor or Dao Emperor, attacking the Celestial Court is courting death!"
"Are you from the Celestial Domain?" Chen Lan asked calmly.
"How do you know I am from the Celestial Domain?" The Primordial Venerable furrowed his brows, glancing at the Jade Emperor and shaking his head. "I never told them about this; how do you know?"
No one knew he went to the Celestial Domain; how did this Demon Emperor know?
"Because there’s a stench on you that disgusts me." Chen Lan slowly stood up, his form flickering, and in a flash, appeared before the Primordial Venerable.
The Primordial Venerable, as if facing a great enemy, summoned a long sword, warily watching Chen Lan.
"A half-step Dao Ancestor, entering the Emperor realm through the Sword Dao," Chen Lan looked the Primordial Venerable up and down, "but it’s not sufficient."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Lan pointed a finger, and surging demonic qi transformed into a sharp blade, attacking the Primordial Venerable!
Seeing this, the Primordial Venerable’s pupils contracted, instinctively wanting to dodge, only to find himself seemingly locked in place, unable to evade.
Bang!
The Primordial Venerable raised the long sword to block, yet he still flew backward, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles!
"So strong." The Primordial Venerable exclaimed in shock, staring at his numbing tiger’s mouth, deeply shaken.
The opponent’s Sword Dao was also formidable, capable of using qi to transform into a sword and repel him even without using a sword!
"Qi Transformed into Ten Thousand Swords, go!" The Primordial Venerable shouted angrily, joining his fingers and swinging them heavily toward the sky.
The Flying Sword flew out of his hand, transforming into tens of thousands of Flying Swords, sweeping toward Chen Lan!
Chen Lan remained silent, standing with his hands behind his back, as a massive black hole appeared behind him, producing a terrifying suction force, absorbing all the swords easily.
The Primordial Venerable was dumbfounded; this person was so formidable it terrified him, it was absurd.
Damn it, why hadn’t the other two arrived yet? If he was the first to get here, he might be the first to die.
"Not willing to consume your Dao Origin?" Chen Lan chuckled.
The Primordial Venerable furrowed his brows tightly; this person knew he had Dao Origin and seemed to be waiting for him to use it deliberately, but why?
"Hmph, then as you wish!" The Primordial Venerable shouted, gripping the long sword tightly, the sharp Sword Intent soaring to the sky!
Sharpness flashed in his eyes as his fingers slid across the long sword, emitting infinite Divine Light, a giant sword’s phantom standing behind him, a light portal opening in the sky, and a giant sword descending slowly.
"Primordial... Slash!"
The sword light flashed, and the giant sword descended from the sky, slashing swiftly towards Chen Lan.
Chen Lan calmly extended his forefinger, pointing at the sword tip, and instantly, the giant sword stopped.
This bizarre scene left the Primordial Venerable aghast, his most powerful Divine Technique was effortlessly blocked!
"This sword is tainted with the aura of the Celestial Domain; you have pledged to the Upper Cosmos." Chen Lan spoke slowly.
"How do you know of the Upper Cosmos!" The Primordial Venerable exclaimed in surprise; did this person even know about the Upper Cosmos?
"I am the Demon Slayer."
Bang! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
As soon as the words fell, the giant sword shattered into countless pieces, absorbed into Chen Lan’s black hole, instantly refined.
"Demon Slayer!!" The Primordial Venerable retreated repeatedly, pointing in terror at Chen Lan, "You’re the Demon Slayer, the one who ruled the Celestial Domain, feared by the Upper Cosmos!"
He thought he was facing a simple Dao Emperor but never imagined it was the name unspoken by both the Celestial Domain and Upper Cosmos, an indescribable existence—the Demon Slayer!
